"Our Lady Peace have released a lot of incredible albums, and it makes it really hard to choose any favourite. Each are concrete, and complete creations. Especially among their older albums, this band has managed to put together tracks that pull one's emotions. Key to this is Raine Maida, and in S..."  [+]  Reply

"I’m struggling to understand why this album was so poorly received, sure it’s no “I’m Wide Awake” and there a couple of duds in the track list but it’s still a very strong work. Songs like Dance and Sing, Mariana Trench, Pan and Broom, Persona Non Grata, Tilt-a-Whirl, and To Death's Heart rank as..."  [+]  Reply

"Amazing album. Marks the change from Sui Generis' previous folky sound into the progressive sound which would remain well into Garcia's following project, La Maquina de Hacer Pajaros.
