While Canadian rock heroes Our Lady Peace have made a name for themselves as post-grunge hard rockers (albeit with a penchant for infectious songcraft), rarely straying from their hard-hitting strengths, GRAVITY is an impressively varied effort. The undeniable pop-hook choruses of "Do You Like It" and "Innocent" are perhaps even more unabashedly catchy than the band's previous radio successes. The acoustic-guitar-driven balladry of "Somewhere Out There" intersperses contemplative folk-rock verses with a grand, Creed-like chorus ("Not Enough" bears similar dynamics). The aforementioned "Innocent" starts out with syncopated, programmed beats before giving way to full-fledged human drumming. Amidst all this relative eclecticism, the band still manages to stick in plenty of blazing guitars, cannon-like drums, and angst-ridden vocals for their faithful fans.

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.
