Zero Gravity - Laika And The Cosmonauts

Advantages: Like there previous albums but better.
Disadvantages: Not many songs on the album.

...~~~ Background ~~~ Our Lady Peace are an Canadian band and have been around since 1994 when their first album “Naveed” was released. The album review for this is their fifth album “Gravity” I bought the album after hearing “Not Enough” from the album on WWE wrestling programming. Instantly liking the passion about it I bought the album from HMV. ~~~ The tracks on the album ~~~ The album contains only ten tracks and has a complete running time of 41 minutes and 32 seconds. The figures in brackets are the run times for each song. 1. All For You (4.14) – A brilliant tune to open the album full of rock and recognisable lyrics. 2. Do You Like It (3.58) – One of the more recognisable songs of the album with great tune and lyrics. I find myself singing along to this a lot. 3. Somewhere Out There (4.11) – One of the slower songs... Read review

Advantages: A fine mixture of styles and sounds, tightly composed
Disadvantages: A mood album, not all tracks fit every day

...by the brilliance of something so well crafted and thought out. Because that’s what ‘Flights Of Gravity’ is, it is most definitely an album of thought and craft, no mindless rock here and although sitting within the alt-rock genre there seems to be something to pull most keen music fans. It’s what I’d class as a musicians album and I hope it’ll enjoy the slow burning cult status of other albums in its field. I’ll draw no comparisons here as they may be somewhat premature or may be slightly grandiose but the potential is there and only time will tell. I imagine ‘Flights Of Gravity’ will slowly bring this band into many peoples living rooms and earphones, as there is plenty of growing room yet. Matt and Rich have obviously found a working relationship that brings the best out of them both. And producer Paul Ford has given them the time to develop... Read review

Advantages: Two or three very good tracks.
Disadvantages: Most of the tracks are nothing to write home about.

...Another Late Night seems to be a lesser know release of zero 7's, which is not good for a band who are generally not that well known to begin with! I can understand why, however, as this is not like other zero 7 albums so is perhaps ignored to some extent even by fans of the group. Enjoying the likes of Simple Things, When It Falls and/or The Garden are unfortunately not enough for me to recommend this to you; although I guess it might help to a little. Although mixed by zero 7 this does not contain their unique 'sound' which fans of the group will notice right away. This is, however, a relatively chilled out and relaxed album which is well produced, making for great background music and perhaps a couple of quite upbeat tracks which are very good, although not of typical zero 7 style. Overall this album gets 3 stars from me, although... Read review
