Our Lady Peace "Curve"

OK, before I begin, I have a confession to make: I can't review these guys without bias. The fact is, I have considered Our Lady Peace (henceforth: OLP) my favourite band since I discovered them in 1997 (Yes, a little late, but I'm all the way down here in NZ, and they didn't - and still don't - get a whole lot of radio play down here). Sure, over the years I've got pretty excited about other new bands, and gone all nostalgic for some of my old faves, but I do keep coming back to these guys. Well, all right, there was a pretty big lull over the last few years, because, yes, I am one of those fans who didn't so much like "Gravity", "Healthy In Paranoid Times" or "Burn, Burn". But, as soon as mention of this latest album started on the grapevine, I was excited. OLP kept us up to date with regular chances to watch them recording - especially when they were working on "The Wolf" ("Fire in the Henhouse" on the album). That's one thing I do love about OLP - the fan participation they encourage. I still remember
