Title: The band isn't the same since Mike Turner's departure
Review: I wholly agree with the first review posted. OLP used to be a wonderfully talented band, but when they ventured out in to the land of commerical success, their music lost something. Much of this has to do with integral member, Mike Turner (guitars), departing after the release of Spiritual Machines, the predecessor to Gravity. Turner did not like the direction the band was headed in, and for good reason. OLP was better when they were less about commerically sound, catchy tunes and more about writing interesting, eclectic songs, with crafty guitar work. Many of these aspects, most notably the good guitars, are not to be found on this latest album. I had been a fan since 1994's Naveed, their first album, but I am a fan no longer. OLP has sold out, and they will never be the same.
Is the review positive or negative?
