Burn Burn

So after a long wait (for me at least) Our Lady Peace released their new album "Burn Burn" on July 21st. And as usual it doesn't disappoint. I have to admit it does sound a little different than their older stuff, maybe a little quieter but it's still nothing short of pure amazing. A critic from the Calgary Herald stated that Raine Maida was trying to be too much like U2 but wasn't too successful in creating the "serious rock masterpiece for the ages" as he said it in the article. He even gave it a rating of 2.5/5 and I strongly disagree. My rating would be 4/5 and I stand by it.

I personally have nothing against U2 but at the same time not a big fan of their music. Listening to their new album, OLP may have changed but by no means is it in the wrong direction or trying to imitate another band. Their original taste is still there and they have made their mark clearly on the album. It only took me one listen to fall in love with the album and I think it's worth a listen to all fans of good Canadian music. My personal favourites are:
Paper Moon
Never Get Over You
All You Did Was Save My Life
The End is Where We Begin.

For all OLP fans, what do you think of the new album and what songs stand out for you the most? Has Raine Maida done a good job producing his album?
