Returning for a fifth release titled "Gravity," Our Lady Peace, with conjunction of producer Bob Rock, have again made concrete earnest self feelings through an emotional venture into the soul. Though the previous release "Spiritual Machines" marked an experimental move for the band, powerful chords of the modern Rock world come alive once again with the newest addition. The title track "Somewhere Out There" has integrated the bold and almost rippling vocal presence of singer Raine Maida with sensual assistance from guitar, bass, and drums. Sectioned with human weakness and toppled by the relentless hopeful outlook to a higher presence is craftily rifted side by side.

Purged with the insatiable themed quest to find yourself in a surrounding world that is not so kind to adventurers is accelerated through songs like "Made of Steel" and "Sorry." Coordinated in a way that allows each member's artistic views and rhythmic development to be equally distributed, the natural course of peaceful tranquility is encompassing. Ten tracks, each with a notable presence on the completed work, cascade along to emphasis on each and every lyric whose soul purpose is superbly achieved.
