<div id="subtitle">Music Review: Canadian rockers Our Lady Peace return with 7th disc, the mature 'Burn Burn'</div><div><p>Our Lady Peace, "Burn Burn" (Warner Independent).</p><p>Our Lady Peace maintains their status as one of Canada's strongest bands with the release of their seventh studio disc, "Burn, Burn."</p><p>The Toronto four-piece made a splash south of the border in the 1990s with their first two efforts — '94's "Naveed" and '97's "Clumsy" — but have since fallen into relative obscurity in the States.</p><p>That may not change too much with "Burn Burn," but the band's first disc since 2005's "Healthy in Paranoid Times" is a nice return to the soaring rock they made their name on.</p><p>Lead singer Raine Maida sounds more mature than ever — mostly forsaking his once eye-popping falsetto — and brings a poetic touch to his tales of everyday struggle and hope, and guitarist Steve Mazur offers plenty of fine lead work throughout.</p><p>They kick off with the single "All You Did Was Save My Life," a straightforward radio rocker with a soaring chorus, before sliding into the hope-filled "Dreamland."</p><p>Often praised for their energetic live show, OLP keeps the anthemic tracks flowing with "The End Is Where We Begin," "Escape Artist," "Refuge," and the blistering "White Flags."</p><p>OLP's lighter touch can be found on the acoustic "Signs of Life" and versatile disc closer "Paper Moon," one of the finest tracks they've ever laid down.</p><p>CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: "Monkey Brains" is a manic blast of energy that features a — dare I say it — Steve Harris-influenced effort by bassist Duncan Coutts.</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=55252404&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
