iTunes Review

Released four years after 2005’s Healthy In Paranoid Times, Our Lady Peace’s seventh studio album was produced by the band’s singer Raine Maida. Maida has been busy co-writing songs with American Idol’s seventh season winner David Cook, who championed O.L.P. as his biggest influence. The collaboration with Cook also may be why Burn Burn sounds more accessible than any of O.L.P.'s prior works. But though Burn Burn may sound sleeker, the songs are well crafted and show a maturity in content and arrangement. The opening hit “All You Did Was Save My Life” instantly propels O.L.P. into the intelligent arena-rock stratosphere with the likes of U2, Coldplay and Kings Of Leon. “Monkey Brains” is another standout track, bouncing and lulling with the pomp and romance of a Britpop band, not unlike the reunited Verve. “Paper Moon” closes the album — a power ballad that plays with the triumphant feel of a cinematic climax.

Customer Reviews

Nope, sorry

I'm a fan of bands growing and we've grown with a lot of bands from the 1990's. Nine Inch Nails, 311, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage, No Doubt, and many others played with different styles, wore different hats and never lost their identity. Our Lady Peace not only lost their identity, they've completely lost their soul. Is the really the same band that I used to call one of the best bands in the world? I don't think it is, not anymore. I'm not knocking the mainstream sound they've used on recent albums, because I like actually liked Gravity quite a bit. But being mainstream is no excuse for being as soulless as the lifeless drivel that Lifehouse and Nickelback pollute the airwaves with on a constant basis. Healthy In Paranoid Times was an unforgivable, trite affair and Burn Burn is yet another nail in the coffin. "Dreamland", "Monkey Brains" and "Escape Artist" are the only songs that suggest they even tried and even those would be considered weak tracks on previous records. Raine Maida should be so much better than this. Did Mike Turner's guitar work and Arnold Lanni's production really make that much of a difference in the past? Does that make Gravity's greatness an accident? Either way, I don't hold out any hope for a return to songwriting form.

Wow.

They just continue to get worse with each album. All You Did Was Save My Life sounds like every other Daughtry/David Cook song on the radio. Very commercialized. Nothing like Happiness or Spiritual Machines. Sad.

RIP OLP

Even after reading several customer reviews saying not to buy this album because it's just poppy garbage, I still really wanted to give this album a chance. The those reviews couldn't have been more right. I started listening to OLP when Clumsy came out and I think Naveed, Clumsy, Happiness, and Spiritual Machines are all great alternative rock albums. On those albums, they allowed themselves to incorporate musical styles and concepts of some other great bands at the time, put thier own unique style and layers into it, and produce some really great alternative rock music. On Burn Burn, they basically just stripped down everything that was unique and appealing about OLP, and just produced 40 minutes on generic pop rock garbage. The everything from the guitar riffs to the lame lyrics are so played out. All this album made me want to do was listen to old OLP albums, which is what I've been doing the past week. Maybe they need to bring Arnold Lanni back. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is there are a few decent moments on the cd. Monkey Brains is the only song that actually resembles any earlier OLP. Dreamland is OKAY, but still very poppy, lyrics still pretty lame though. I guess thats really the only positives I can think of right now. It seems that Our Lady Peace's best days are behind them, but I still think they produced some great music in those days.
