AMG Review of Burn Burn

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

For all intents and purposes, Burn Burn is another Our Lady Peace album, still sounding like a hybrid of Joshua Tree-era U2 and latter-day Goo Goo Dolls, but the quirks, including the political inclinations of Healthy, are toned down in favor of a gleaming adult alternative sound. Because OLP are a rock band first and foremost, the slower moments are anthemic rather than sappy and the fist-pumping rockers are infused with righteousness, with the two extremes tied together by a spaciness that splits the difference between U2 and Coldplay.
