Excellent and Addictive Rock

"I learned about the existance of OCS from Colin Larkin's All-Time Top 1000. The review was that it was derivative, but still highly palatable. Well, it is far more than that. It is extraordinary, well-crafted solid rock staff in the best 60-is traditions: reminds you of all good music that you ever heard. Somebody tells it's just a pastiche. Well, try to sue them for plagiarism. No tune is licked from anywhere. Just the spirit of it may remind you of the Beatles (Harrison in particular).
Well, I highly recommend this album for all classic rock fans. A good shot of adrenaline."
Better than Moseley Shoals

"I was recently happily reunited with both Marchin' Already and Moseley Shoals which I listened to a lot a few years back. I could live without several tracks on Moseley Shoals, but everything here earns its place. Reading the lyrics off the sleeve wasn't the revelation I'd hoped, but hey they still work in an impressionistic sort of way :) Is the style derivative? Well, I guess so, but the tunes are still great, so who cares. If another album this good came along I'd buy it."
