MarcRJun 9, 2003Nothing groundbreaking with this, but then Live hasn't been on the edge since its debut a dozen years ago. Since then they have produced some of the best, most accessible pop-rock music there is. This is more of the same. I rate the proCritics a 38 for panning this in their frustration with pop music being what it is and always will be...a business of consumption, then artistry.

JanMalJul 6, 2003I loved this album. I sorta got turned off from Live for a while but after I listened to this album I'm such a fan again. I think this is my fave album of theirs. It's a CD where you can buy it for all the songs not just a couple.

jackiehJul 6, 2004i have to say that Live's older music is unratable...but Birds of Prey is rad...i think that "Heaven" is just so real...people are looking for proof of God when its right in front of our faces...i can just really relate to that song

jcarowickJun 1, 2003cool album. Heaven sounds really cool when played loud. out of all their albums, this would be the third best behind throwing copper and V. reminds me of rush for some odd reason

ChrisJun 2, 2003A really solid effort. On previous live CDs, I had songs I loved and songs I hated. On this one I really like everything and sometimes consistency is better than moments of brilliance.

AndyFMar 26, 2006Live has made another wonderful CD. The content and subject matter covered surpasses practically all other bands that are making music today.

NookieAug 17, 2006Totally awesome! My favorite album, I totally agree with MaxyM I am sick of hearing about broken hearts and sex in songs, you want to listen to something REAL then Live delivers. Ah well I guess you just have to be a bit more open minded and aware of the world around us to realise and appreciate the truths in Live's songs.

Birds of Pray, their sixth album, sounds a lot like the previous five.
-
Do you have any idea how dull it is listening to someone being calm and content?
-
Birds of Pray just seems clueless, like a high school kid who doesn't realize that his strident need to seem interesting just makes him a joke, and not a particularly funny one at that.
