Spiritual Machines
Our Lady Peace
A CD Review |
|
 |
I forgot I had this CD until I started this project, but I’m so
glad I found it. Written around the concept that one day computers
will be smarter than we are, “Spiritual Machines” really shows Our
Lady Peace are their creative best. “Life” is just one of those
fun songs to sing along to, and if you are an Our Lady Peace fan,
I’m pretty sure this CD is right up there as some of their better
and more ambitious works.
I could have done without the Ray Kurzweil’s (he’s the dude who
wrote “The Age of Spiritual Machines – When Computers Exceed Human
Intelligence” which the concept of the CD comes from) spoken word
passages, although I do understand its use far as the concept of
the album goes. Still, the music really leads you through the
story Raine Maida and the rest of the band wants to tell.
Dumping out the Kurzweil tracks, that leaves “Spiritual
Machines” at about a 75% on the Entertainment Ave! listenability
scale.
That’s it for this quick review! I’m The Dude on the Right!!
