Happiness… Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch

Our Lady Peace

A surreal blend of high-register vocals and gritty guitars. This record captures the tension between late-90s radio polish and deep, existential brooding.

September 21, 1999 · Epic

A high-tension blend of intellectual curiosity and late-night emotional exhaustion.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive shift from the restrained, ticking verse to the wide-open melodic chorus of One Man Army.
The haunting, high-register vocal bridge in Thief that captures a sense of desperate helplessness.
The way the distorted guitars suddenly give way to a lonely piano melody in the final moments of Stealing Babies.
