OUR LADY PEACE

Our Lady Peace
Clumsy
(Sony)

When I first bought the new release, Clumsy, from Our Lady Peace, I must have played "Superman's Dead" 10 times before continuing on into the remainder of the album. This hard rock quartet derives from Canada and brings with them an amazing sound. With songs ranging from the quiet and thought provoking "4am," to the almost abusive "Automatic Flowers," the album has a well-developed sense of flow from song to song incorporating album's variety. If haven't heard the crazed crooning of "Superman's Dead" on the radio you really need to turn up the volume!
