"I just love this band's sound. It gets trapped in your brain and leaves you wanting more and more...the rare times when I'm not listening to OAR, I'm humming their songs in my head. Beautiful. Timeless. Classic. Reminds me of old DMB meets old BNL (think Rock Spectacle) mixed with a touch of Sublime."
Awesome.

"It's awesome. There is not a lot I can say to describe it. I have been listening to it well over 6 months now and still can't get enough of it. I have a copy in the car, in the house, at work, and even on my boat."
In between now & then

"This CD jams. If you like Blues Traveler, Marley, DMB or other melodic jam bands, you will like these guys!"
You Can't Help But Like This Band!

"The first song I ever heard by these guys was Right On Time actually on the radio driving to Maine. I then bought In Between Now & Then and was hooked. I then furthered my habit purchasing 34th & 8th, moving on to Any Time Now and Souls Aflame. This band has a solid and distinctly unique sound. I actually saw them tonight in concert in Kingston, PA and they are even more unbelievable live. A new song titled "5250" has an incredible melody to it. If you can put in one of their CDs and not have the urge to either sing along or at a minimum tap a finger or foot, you are melodically challenged."
Though it's admittedly kind of cheesy in spots, this is stil

"O.A.R. is kind of a cheesy jam band (their lyrics are usually pretty bad), but they still deliver some quality tunes. Every track here is fun to listen to, and in the end that's essentially the most important thing. What's great about this album, specifically, is that the production is great - everything is crystal clear even on a low-quality sound file. Marc Roberge also does a pretty good job with the vocals. Musically it's pretty standard jam band material, but every track is catchy with a great hook. If you love jam bands chances are you'll love O.A.R.'s "In Between Now & Then". "Hey Girl" and "James" are definitely GREAT tunes which definitely bumps it up to a "5" from a "4.5". All the pros definitely far outweigh what cons there are here (which aren't many). Highly recommended!
