All You Did was Save My Life is probably the worst OLP track i've ever heard. It's freaking terrible. Doesn't belong on the album at all.
I'm like most in that I think that OLP's peak was the first two records.. the next two were still good (but not touching Naveed and Clumsy) and the last two have been god awful. I personally think that this record is probably the best stuff they've put out since Clumsy.. but still doesn't touch those first two records. There's some tracks on there that would definitley hold their own with the best tracks on those two albums (namely Monkey Brains, White Flags and Escape Artist).. and that hasn't happened in a long time.
I know that they are one of those bands that people just love or hate. I'm not really one for mainstream rock, but I guess OLP is a guilty pleasure for me. To each their own I guess!!
