Usually these Alert! posts are largely to make sure you’re in the know about and prepared for awesome music happenings for the future. But guys: the future is now. Our Lady Peace‘s new album and seventh studio effort, Burn, Burn is gonna hit the stores on Tuesday. I guess to prevent any leaks, the guys have gone ahead and released the album to the internet for streaming themselves. Good thinking, guys! Let’s take a peak at it…

My first thoughts: sounds like OLP, but not like old school Clumsy-era OLP, you know what I mean? Still not sure if that makes it less good… The single “All You Did Was Save My Life” sounds pretty much like a single should; “Monkey Brains” has a pretty good hook; and I am really digging “Refuge”. But Raine Maida isn’t doing that screachy vocal thing he used to do anywhere, like in Superman Is Dead, which I was kinda looking forward to hearing. “White Flags” is probably the closest they’re getting to what I was hoping for.

What do you think of this one? Are you going to pick it up on Tuesday, or stream it forever? Am I right about it, or am I totally off track, sitting in the middle of a field somewhere, lost and confused?
