Performer: Our Lady Peace
Engineer: Arnold Lanni Producer: Arnold Lanni Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Our Lady Peace: Raine Maida (vocals); Mike Turner (guitar); Chris Eacrett (bass); Jeremy (drums). Recorded at Arnyard Studios, Toronto, Canada. Canada's Our Lady Peace makes a stunning debut with Naveed, almost avoiding the mid-'90s reign of Seattle's grunge. Mixing fierce melodies among '60s hard rock guitars, Our Lady Peace projects confidence, but is not as angry as Pearl Jam; however, they're abrasive and ready to rage against the corporate social machine. Percussion is tight, and frontman Raine Maida's lyrical poetry is also solid and wailing. Songs like "Supersatellite" and debut single "Starseed" gnarl with Maida's scratchy falsetto, which complements Mike Turner's riveting licks. They're anxious, and that's refreshing for a young band. They're not exactly hoping to define anything, but Our Lady Peace does wish to relish the rock & roll hardballers who came before them. "Hope" and "Denied" are both infectious with Zen-like rhythms similar to the likes of Led Zeppelin, making a definitive stance for the band. Our Lady Peace yearns to achieve a musical position, and Naveed is a decent introduction to the group's own musical spirituality. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
Entertainment Weekly (3/31/95, p.62) - "...With anguished vocals a la Pearl Jam, and churning guitars by way of Stone Temple Pilots, this debut ought to leap onto the charts like a stage diver on steroids..." - Rating: B
A survivor of the post-grunge alt-rock avalanche, Toronto's Our Lady Peace burst onto the scene with its tightly wound 1995 college-radio hit, "Starseed." The band went on to superstar status in its native Canada, while achieving modest success in the United States. Though an ill-received concept album (SPIRITUAL MACHINES) threw off some OLP fans, the ensemble, led by emotive singer Raine Maida, rebounded with 2002's GRAVITY and its popular anthem, "Somewhere Out There," proving that the group had longevity.
