5.0 out of 5 stars Our Lady Peace's Best-Of A Great Compilation...4.5 stars..., June 13, 2007

By	M. Jarrett "SoundgardenFanForLife" (New England, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Our Lady Peace is the pinnacle rock band of Canada. Having formed years before Nickelback and garnering more awards than fellow counterpart Alanis Morisette, Our Lady Peace made a niche for themselves in their homeland of Canada, but they also made a big dent in the United States. A DECADE is a proper compilation of all their big hits, minus one hit that was left off and should have been on here, plus two brand new songs never before released to cd or the airwaves.

You get all the big hits from NAVEED, except "Hope", which should have made this compilation. But still, there's no arguing with the alternative rocker "Starseed", the acoustic/electric anthem title track, and the blustery fierce "The Birdman". All of these songs were great choices from this great debut. Next up are the big three singles from CLUMSY, the generational anthem rocker "Superman's Dead", the melodic title track, and the live favorite sing-a-long "4am". From HAPPINESS you get "One Man Army", "Is Anybody Home", and "Thief", all solid cuts. From SPIRITUAL MACHINES we include "Life" and "In Repair", while "Right Behind You" was also left off and was a minor hit and video. From GRAVITY you get the two big soaring rock anthems "Somewhere Out There" and "Innocent", and then to finish you get "Where Are You", a peppy rocker; "Angels/Losing/Sleep", a melodic, sweeping grand stage; and "Will The Future Blame Us", all 3 from HEALTHY IN PARANOID TIMES. To close the compilation you get an unreleased cut "Kiss on the Mouth" and a demo version of "Better Than Here" to entice casual fans.

For the most part, A DECADE is really an OLP fans dream compilation and a casual fan's perfect introduction to one of the most intriguing and best rock bands to descend from Canada. A DECADE also comes with a bonus DVD of live material and unreleased interview footage. Don't wait and let A DECADE get away...pick this up if you're an OLP fan or curious!

The material here is worth 5 stars. As an introduction to the band, you can't go wrong. For those interested in some non-hit tracks to check out by the band, I will list a few.

Naveed Album
Julia
Dirty Walls
Under Zenith
Neon Crossing

Clumsy Album

Hello Oskar
Story of 100 Aisles
Shaking
Car Crash

Happiness is a Fish Album
Annie

Just get the whole damn album.
It's maybe the best 40 minutes of rock to ever come out of the Canadian music scene.

Gravity Album
A Story about a Girl

So there's some ideas for further listening.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, October 2, 2008

By	Christopher M. Fulton "Purveyor of Truth" (Streator, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This is a good cross-section of OLP in my opinion. If you are new to OLP, pick this up and you can get an idea about the greatness that it Our Lady Peace. I've not gotten into many of the newer bands, but these guys, I like. Yeah, Raine Maida does sound a tad whiny in his singing, but it works. These guys are modern with a little of an old school sound about them. Enjoy.
