The major thing to happen to Our Lady Peace since the 2005 release of HEALTHY IN PARANOID TIMES, is the public embrace of David Cook, winner of the 2008 American Idol. Cook often called OLP his favorite band, enlisting the band's Raine Maida to co-write three songs on his debut, a development that could theoretically lead to a bigger audience for the Canadian post-grunge band, something that the band appears to have kept in mind for their 2009 album BURN BURN if its streamlined sound is any indication. For all intents and purposes, is another Our Lady Peace album, still sounding like a hybrid of JOSHUA TREE-era U2 and latter-day Goo Goo Dolls, but the quirks, including the political indication of HEALTH, is toned down in favor for a gleaming adult-alternative sound. Because OLP are a rock band first and foremost, the slower moments are anthemic not sappy and the fist-pumping rockers are infused with righteousness, with the two extremes tied together with an spaciness that splits the difference between U2 and Coldplay.

Billboard (p.28) - "[T]he first single, 'All You Did Was Save My Life,' provides some much needed bite..."

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.
