Healthy in Paranoid Times, Our Lady Peace's sixth album, came out on August 30, 2005, and it very nearly broke the Toronto band. According to the liner notes, the sessions ate up 1165 days at ten different studios, with 43 songs written and recorded; Raine Maida, Steve Mazur, Duncan Coutts and Jeremy Taggart couldn't settle on which songs, or which versions, to keep, the release date kept slipping, and everyone involved quit at least once along the way. Bob Rock produced.
What came out the other end is lighter and more direct than the band's knotty early records, and it's pointed outward: war, the state of the world, and in "Wipe That Smile Off Your Face", George W. Bush. "Where Are You" led the charge, and "Angels/Losing/Sleep" brings back Maida's old high, cracked falsetto. It hit number two in Canada and went platinum there.
