Our Lady Peace is the pinnacle rock band of Canada. Having formed years before Nickelback and garnering more awards than fellow counterpart Alanis Morisette, Our Lady Peace made a niche for themselves in their homeland of Canada, but they also made a big dent in the United States. A DECADE is a proper compilation of all their big hits, minus one hit that was left off and should have been on here, plus two brand new songs never before released to cd or the airwaves.

You get all the big hits from NAVEED, except "Hope", which should have made this compilation. But still, there's no arguing with the alternative rocker "Starseed", the acoustic/electric anthem title track, and the blustery fierce "The Birdman". All of these songs were great choices from this great debut. Next up are the big three singles from CLUMSY, the generational anthem rocker "Superman's Dead", the melodic title track, and the live favorite sing-a-long "4am". From HAPPINESS you get "One Man Army", "Is Anybody Home", and "Thief", all solid cuts. From SPIRITUAL MACHINES we include "Life" and "In Repair", while "Right Behind You" was also left off and was a minor hit and video. From GRAVITY you get the two big soaring rock anthems "Somewhere Out There" and "Innocent", and then to finish you get "Where Are You", a peppy rocker; "Angels/Losing/Sleep", a melodic, sweeping grand stage; and "Will The Future Blame Us", all 3 from HEALTHY IN PARANOID TIMES. To close the compilation you get an unreleased cut "Kiss on the Mouth" and a demo version of "Better Than Here" to entice casual fans.

For the most part, A DECADE is really an OLP fans dream compilation and a casual fan's perfect introduction to one of the most intriguing and best rock bands to descend from Canada. A DECADE also comes with a bonus DVD of live material and unreleased interview footage. Don't wait and let A DECADE get away...pick this up if you're an OLP fan or curious!
