July 28: Our Lady Peace - Live
In a really weird coincidence, I listened to this exactly 18 months after they recorded it in Edmonton, Canada. That's right, kids; Our Lady Peace do arenas in Canada, but you can see 'em in clubs here in the US of A.
This album works well as a "greatest hits live" kind of thing, though there's not nearly enough stuff from their kickass fourth album Spiritual Machines. And there's a little too much forced audience participation and sing-a-long. And you realize just how nü-metal their last album was when you hear the songs live. But those are minor points. Best listened to at night when you can pretend like you're there in the darkened Edmonton arena.
