Naveed
Naveed is the debut studio album by Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace. It was produced by Arnold Lanni, and was released on March 22, 1994, by Sony Music Canada. Naveed became a success in Canada, being certified 4× Platinum in the country. There were five singles released for the album, including "The Birdman", "Starseed" and "Naveed". This is the only album to feature bass player Chris Eacrett, who was replaced by Duncan Coutts in 1995.
Naveed is considered one of the band's most raw and edgy works to date. One of the main characteristics of the band at this time was vocalist Raine Maida's extreme falsetto, and his ability to move relatively smoothly between high and low octaves with varying intensities. These vocals provided the overall melody juxtaposed with the heavy instruments. The tone of the album was darker and about more controversial topics than later releases.
