i totally agree about the old stuff being amazing as well.. as for gravity.. it maybe simple and it may not be AS GREAT but i still like it.. maybe it just fits my life as it is right now better.. i dunno what it is... as for the Newest stuff theyre doing live.. im gonna take a "wait and see" approach b4 i decide whether i like it or not
Hey! maybe if olp was coming out with good music we'd like them eh? If you don't like my attitude, YOU leave. I'm staying right where i am.
Ps. Ian is hot.
I know I don't. It just seems so....common, ya know? There's nothing special about it.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
not afraid is okay at best the rest i refuse to listen to after hearing it once and i hope it never makes it into the studio.
hey we were all happy when not afraid came out, we said OLP was slowly returning but this new stuff has just shot it down again. We are not all and always negative.
to come on the board and tell us to leave b/c we are having a mature discussion about the direction of OLP's music and its effect on us perhaps you could contribute in a more adult like manner. (theirflowers...)

So true. I've been avoiding the forum dedicated to OLP talk for months and months .. pretty much since Gravity came out because it's so repetitive .. everyday there's a new post about why Our Lady Peace sucks and it's getting old .. I understand how people can grow out of being passionate for a band .. but if you're moving on and away from Our Lady Peace .. move on and away from an Our Lady Peace fan message board as well so the people who still love Our Lady Peace don't have to listen to the bitching and whining about the exact same thing day after day.
this message board has become more then an OLP board since this forum has been dead until this topic came about. it is common to grow out of a band and a genre of music even. I can look down my CD tower and shudder at some CDs. I dont think ill like the type of music i listen to now forever either. People progress, the reason i stay here is b/c i like the other discussions and like the people who post. I dont come and think OLP. Just has grown to be more then an OLP message board.
If you dont like the people who are upset by it just stay out of this thread or start your own thread on why you like the new OLP We are not saying OLP sucks and should go to hell we are maturely discussing how upset we are over the new material.
i'd still go see OLP in concert. it's still entertaining...but no...i don't listen to their albums anymore...only once in a while, and it's always old stuff.

I was listening to Happiness and I realized how incredible it was all over again...Defnly my favourite album cause I listened to SM the night before and was kinda "eh."...But I still love both albums.
I'm negative about OLP because I've lost interest, and Gravity is deeply ensaddening.

I'm maybe in the minority but I didn't find Gravity a disappoinment, altho not my favourite album, I personally love the simplicity of it and in my opinon it shows the versatilty of what OLP can do (in regards to how all albums have a different style). And as for the new songs I am impressed with what I've heard so far with the exception of the Walking In Circles chorus. And also with almost like a year, according to OLP.cc, till a probable release date I think people should wait till studio recordings are heard to base your final opinon on OLP's new stuff.
After reading all these posts of people who are in disdain over OLP's maturation and subsequent downfall, I can understand why these people are upset. I've been a hardcore fan for 2 years and a fan since CLumsy. Gravity wasn't something I hated, just something different. I guess I had no expectations, but seeing that the quality and originality they once had is vanishing, I can see that as being scary.
I feel that I still have faith in OLP........very naively, yet I still enjoy what they put out because I just let them do their thing. For people that keep crying about it...........GROW UP.......I mean that nicely......its happening, its real. Except it. If you can't then leave..........please. That's all I ask. It reminds me of old people saying how good the old days were and how everything sucks now..... Hopefully OLP comes through, but if they don't, find another band and stop complaining. its an endless cycle damn it.
As for criticism now, sure, everyone's entitled............I just hope this board isn't one big OLP bashing page in the future.........That's pathetic to me. It seems like a few people like to disuade us from liking them because they don't. That's what my point was earlier............not that they are wrong or not entitled to an opinion.
We are not saying OLP sucks and should go to hell we are maturely discussing how upset we are over the new material.
