Northern Volume lists it as black: https://www.northernvolume.com/our-lady-peace-spiritual-machines-180g-vinyl-lp-record/ I was walking past a Sunrise Records when I read this thread earlier and popped in. They had some but there wasn't a hype sticker indicating coloured vinyl. I wonder if the majority are black.

jrodan Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 word, sounds like i got black coming. just happy to have this on vinyl finally. however, if anyone finds the blue version for around the same price, i would love to grab a copy of that too.

twhite1221 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 1 hour ago, tape said: Yeah, for as "limited" of a guitar player Mike Turner supposedly was, out of this band's 4 best albums he co-wrote three and played on all four. Also all four were produced by Arnold Lanni and sound great. It makes me think of Coheed and Cambria and Josh Eppard. The albums without him are good in their own ways, but they sound extremely different and are lacking the groove that is unique to Josh. Once he came back, they "sounded like Coheed" again to me. Claudio is obviously the face of the band and plays a massive role in writing and shaping the music, but for me Josh is the glue that makes them stick. Mike Turner obviously had more to do with what made Our Lady Peace so good than Raine would like anyone to believe. Yep, agree fully.....excellent comparison. Josh gives Coheed that sound, as did Mike and Jeremy Taggart's unique drumming on the first four OLP albums. From what I remember back in the day, it was Bob Rock that suggested the change to Jeremy's drumming on subsequent records beginning with Gravity to a "less is more" style which made him sound like every other boring rock drummer to some extent. tape and thesecrets0308 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that being said, is the band completely oblivious to something that seems so obvious to fans?? bring back the original lineup and do things the way they were done originally. i would LOVE a new OLP album that has the magic of the first 4. But maybe there's now some bitterness with Mike and Jeremy now that they were given das boot. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aopps42 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Gravity and later were just bad to me. Between Raine's voice change, Turner's noticable absence and the new slick over produced sound, I just really don't care for it. I recently saw them live, and was blown away at how bad they sounded. Not trying to be harsh, but Raine's voice was completely shot, and the new drummer...well he isn't Jeremy Taggart. Was really disappointed. Super excited to hear they're pressing/pressed Spiritual Machines though and would love a Happiness press as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tape Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Yeah, I never really considered him an influence on my drumming (I always thought Brendan Canty and Chad Gracey were my biggest influences, plus obvious dudes like Neil Peart, &c.) but in the last couple of years I've come to realize that I copped a lot of shit from Jeremy Taggart. Dude's really good and definitely has "a voice" on the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the canadian ones the band was selling on tour were definitely blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 anyone get spiritual machines yet? the amazon seller i bought from doesn't upload tracking, so i have no idea when i will be getting mine. still would love a blue copy of this too if anyone knows where.

NationallyFrightened Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I ordered mine from amazon.ca third party and got a tracking number. Haven’t received it yet but hopefully will come on blue. Also ordered a separate copy of gravity which will hopefully be red. No tracking on that one.

I’ve seen them 3 times in the late 90s. All three were bad. Been overproduced since day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I saw them a handful of time then as well, but I had not seen many shows yet in my life, so I wouldn't have been the best of judge.

RobertSmith Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I've seen the band live 3 times in the last 10 years and they were fantastic each time. I miss Jeremy on the kit, but his replacement is a badass too tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better late than never, I guess. I’ll wait for it to pop up in my local store on release date. There’s still plenty of copies of their other albums on the shelves here as well. hyperg1ant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony I think in Canada only. I'm in for this regardless, it's the last OLP album I have the need for in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
