"Hopelessly a man starts to feed your day"...the introductory line to
Our Lady Peace's music as well as this album. The song itself, The
Birdman, is one of the strongest on the album, with completely
BLISTERING vocals and guitar line. It is an energy that OLP would never
again revisit (although their following albums were just as strong if
not stronger than this one). The album, produced by OLP wizard Arnold
Lanni, is strongly based on the grunge movement of the early nineties.
It's not to say the entire album is purely based on those roots however.
Supersatellite has a funky feel, while Starseed and Dirty Walls have a
more classic rock feel (almost Zeppelin-esque on the former). Most of
the songs on Naveed are great strong rockers mixed with a few clunkers
(Is It Safe?, Neon Crossing). But prominently, the album is great
music, the strongest track being Naveed, which is a sweeping fit of
emotion after emotion that leaves you thoroughly blown away. Other
highlights include the aforementioned The Birdman and Starseed, Dirty
Walls, the eerily Mother Love Bone-like Hope and Julia. Under Zenith is
a track worth mentioning because of it's original song structure and
dazzling vocal performance by Raine Maida. Denied, though not a bad
track in any way, is however a little duller than most of the other
material, but obviously influential to more up and coming bands. Listen
to any one song on The Nixons self titled album, and it in some way
reflects Denied.In short, Naveed is a great album and a must-buy for
Our Lady Peace fans. Although the style on this album was almost
completely dropped in later releases, it represents a point in time of
the music of Our Lady Peace, and has songs that can hold their own
amongst the best in OLP's vast musical library.

Our Lady Peace Biography
Our Lady Peace was one of the most successful Canadian bands of the
post-grunge era, issuing platinum-selling album after platinum-selling
album while also enjoying modest acclaim in America. The group formed at
the University of Toronto in 1992, where vocalist Raine Maida and
guitarist Mike Turner (a British expatriate) first banded together under
the name "As If". They later recruited bassist Chris Eacrett and jazz
drummer Jeremy Taggart, and the quartet changed its name to Our Lady
Peace in tribute to a Mark Van Doren poem. After partnering with the
Canadian branch of Sony Records, Our Lady Peace released 1995's Naveed, a
strong debut album that sparked the modern rock hit "Starseed." A
smaller label, Relativity, released the album in America, and Our Lady
Peace built their North American audience by touring with fellow
Canadian Alanis Morissette that summer.
After the band replaced
Eacrett with bassist Duncan Coutts, the sophomore effort Clumsy arrived
in 1997. Fueled by Raine Maida's unique vocals, which relied heavily on
the singer's falsetto range, Clumsy proved to be enormously successful,
going platinum in the U.S. and earning a rare diamond certification in
Canada. Our Lady Peace returned two years later with Happiness Is Not a
Fish That You Can Catch, a lighter album that featured the new addition
of synthesizers, and Spiritual Machines followed in 2001. Shortly
thereafter, founding guitarist Mike Turner left the band due to creative
differences, and Michigan native Steve Mazur stepped in to replace him.
With
Mazur onboard, Our Lady Peace worked alongside producer Bob Rock to
carve out a commercial, mainstream-minded sound for 2002's Gravity.
Maida's falsetto range was absent from the album, a change that shocked
some longtime fans of the band. Nevertheless, Gravity's polished track
list spawned several international singles, most notably "Somewhere Out
There" and "Innocent." The band toured throughout Canada and the U.S. in
support of such hits, and the jaunt was documented by a concert album
(Live from Calgary and Edmonton) and a live DVD. Our Lady Peace then
returned to the studio with Bob Rock, intending to reprise their
fruitful partnership with another album. Recording sessions proved to be
difficult this time around, however, and the group nearly disbanded in
the process. Healthy in Paranoid Times was eventually released in late
August 2005 and climbed to platinum status, although it failed to match
the success of any previous OLP album. Raine Maida would later distance
himself from the record, claiming that the band spent too much time
filling the album with potential singles for American radio.
A
Decade, a greatest-hits album celebrating the first ten years of Our
Lady Peace's career, returned the band to the upper reaches of the
charts in 2006. The compilation went platinum in America and, like
1997's Clumsy, earned a diamond certification in Canada. Two years
later, Our Lady Peace received another surge in popularity, this one
coming from an unlikely source: the American television show American
Idol. Contestant David Cook was evidently a loyal fan of the band, and
he enthusiastically promoted OLP's music during the competition. Cook
eventually won the show, and Maida briefly decamped to America to
collaborate with the burgeoning musician on his platinum-selling debut.
Maida returned his focus to Our Lady Peace shortly thereafter, however,
and the band issued its seventh studio album, Burn Burn, in 2009.
