Way to put a smile on my face!!!
I do indeed love OLP. :D
...This is the first I'm hearing of a new album! (I've been out of the loop for far too long!) I'm excited to hear, that they are going back to their old sound!

I saw Raine solo a couple years ago, it was interesting/ok ...much rather prefer the group though.

Top three songs? 8)

I'm downloading their discography right now while listening to them on the web. I've been looking for a good band like this for a long time.
Thanks people.

I like the song "in repair" but that's about it. It has a cool video, but the art in it is a huge rip-off of Radiohead's OK Computer album art.

As far as Canadian bands go, I consider OLP on the same level as the Tragically Hip, in that they are decent enough musicians and nice to listen to passively, but they simply don't stand out enough for me to actively enjoy them. Canadian bands that I do enjoy include Metric, Arcade Fire, Wax Mannequin, Death from Above, Stars, The New Pornographers, and there's a bunch more.

Oh, and songs about superman always really annoy me.

The "Live it Out" album is what got me hooked on Metric, and since then I've come to love all their albums, including the formerly limited "Grow Up and Blow Away" album. Gotta love their sound. Synth plus Electric Guitar equals Awesome. My favourite song would have to be "Succexy" which is essentially about how world leaders create wars willy-nilly, while everyone else sits at home watching asses and other distractions on TV. Many of their songs are quite political, which is cool. Other songs I like are The Twist, Wet Blanket, The Police and the Private, Rock Me Now, Monster Hospital, and Live it Out.

OLP, but i'm downloading muse's discography right now as well. Also just finished downloading arcane fire's "neon bible" album.
I saw a video on youtube that combined one of their songs(dont remember wich) with footage of the 20's movie "Battleship Potemkin" and it got me into this band.

I've already listened to OLP's "someone there", "innocent", "superman's dead", a few others and i cant wait to listen to the rest. :P

"Knights of Cydonia" has one of the greatest MV's ever :D

Edit: the music with the Battleship Potemkin footage is called intervention.

Woo another OLP fan to add to the ranks! 8)

Mmm Metric is another gooder, Dead Disco is a catchy tune.
