Clumsy - Our Lady Peace
Rating: 6/10

I first heard them on Muchmusic and I loved "Superman's Dead". From Raine's low/high pitched voice changes to the rest of the bands great musical abilities I really enjoyed this album. When I first bought it I didn't know what to expect because sometimes the popular songs are very different from the rest of the album but the whole album was good. The lyrics are great and I think some songs would sound terrible sung by any other band. OLP's sound isn't real grunge but isn't hard core either. It has the hard rock edge with a nice melody to it. If you've heard and liked "Supermans Dead" or just want to hear something different I highly recommend this album.

Rock with an electronic beat every now and then, but not too much of the synthesized stuff. Eerie, is how I describe their sound. Although, it is well produced, it feels as though they recorded in a dark warehouse, or something of that sort. Pretty somber words, wrote by Raine, and somber tone to the guitars, drums, and bass as well.

Of course their genred under Canadian Rock but its not much different from Creed ...except better of course.
