Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Clumsy is Our Lady Peace's second album. It was released on January 21, 1997 by Sony Records. The album is the band's most successful to date, achieving diamond status in Canada (1,000,000 units sold) and strong sales elsewhere.
Clumsy's songs feature the striking vocals of lead vocalist Raine Maida, who utilizes an often jarring falsetto technique: Maida jumps from lower octaves in his vocal range to higher ones. Raine's vocals provide most of the melody of the songs, with guitars quieted down in this album compared to Naveed, their previous album. This aspect of singing has become the staple sound of the band, continuing with this fashion in their next studio album Happiness...Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch, and since lost on their most recent album Healthy in Paranoid Times. The album features five hit singles, "Superman's Dead", "Automatic Flowers", "Clumsy", "4 A.M." and "Carnival". Music videos were made of the singles, with the exeption of Carnival.
Rumors have circulated that the album was originally supposed to be called Trapeze, after a song that ended up being cut from the album. A trapeze artist is visible in the cover of the album. Fans have anticipated hearing a studio version of "Trapeze" for years, especially since the song was sung live by Our Lady Peace on several occasions.
