Free Music Notes for Our Lady Peace - LiveFree Music Review: pretty good Hit: 3 Stars
pretty good live cd, although they cheated and used performances from 3 shows instead of 1. i have seen them live one time and they kicked major [booty]. this cd would have 4 stars if they included "4am". it would get 5 stars if they crossfaded the tracks instead of having abrupt transitions. other than that, it is a great cd. oh yeah. . .needs at least on more song from spiritual machines. they DID spread out the music from all of their albums equally.
Free Music Review: Not good, not bad Hit: 2 Stars
Our Lady Peave live is an experience in of itself, and I hoped that the CD CD would capture the depth and intensity of many of their shows. Unfortunately, the songs on the CD, otherwise well-chosen and performed, sound muddled and uninspired. Steve Mazur is a great guitarist and addition to the band, no doubt, but his tone rarely rises above the general noise of the drums, bass, and audience. Some of OLP's best songs, such as "Starseed" and "One Man Army" don't rise to the level that they often do during the shows. In fact, I found the version of "Starseed" on this album so bland and lacking in intensity that I would rate it as one of the worst possible choices for the album. I was also dissapointed that "4am", which is often one of their most compelling songs live, was not included on the CD. I love OLP, and I have enjoyed their live shows. Unfortunately, I think to pass the time between "Gravity" and their next possible album, they put out a live album that cheats the band of most of its power. The guy who mixed this should be fired.
Free Music Review: What was the soundboard operator doing? Hit: 2 Stars
I'm a huge Our Lady Peace fan and have seen them in concert twice and both times they were great, but this album lacked big time. I mean, the quality I got off of my 20 dollar GE recorder was better. The album mixer tried to juice up Raine's vocals and ruined what makes their live shows great and thats the energy. Our Time is Fading is a great addition, but I can't help to think what went wrong, is the new guitarist bad at performing live shows or is the source just that aweful.
