Gravity by Our Lady Peace
Gravity is an album by Our Lady Peace, released in 2002. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 40 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Somewhere Out There”, on 22 lists with a best position of #2.
Gravity, Our Lady Peace's fifth studio album, arrived on Columbia on June 18, 2002, and it's the sound of a band deliberately shaking itself loose. For the first time they worked without Arnold Lanni, who had produced the earlier records and helped write many of the songs. With Lanni busy with Simple Plan, they went to hard-rock heavyweight Bob Rock, whose calendar opened up once his Metallica job hit trouble, and what was meant to be a live album with a few new tracks turned into a full studio record.
Guitarist Mike Turner quit a month into the sessions, though his parts survive on half the tracks, and newcomer Steve Mazur stepped in. Raine Maida and company traded the heady concept of Spiritual Machines for something leaner and more direct, and Maida himself said it sounded nothing like what came before. "Somewhere Out There", which gave the album its title, and "Innocent" were the big singles.
