5.0 out of 5 stars Great Live Sound, May 24, 2002

This is definitely a great CD, one worth the 5 stars. It doubles in effect as a greatest hits CD, because the set list is certainly O.A.R.'s best songs (Untitled and Missing Pieces are the only ones missing). I have seen them 3 times, and the CD really captures the energy they bring live, something that just cant be captured in the studio. You can tell Marc is in a really good mood and it shows in the songs. The highlights are City on Down, Black Rock, Hey Girl, Hold on True, Night Shift...Stir it Up, and Poker. I would recommend this to anyone, especially someone just getting on the band... this CD would be the best place to start your collection. O.A.R. is an incredible band, and hearing a live CD is the next best thing to seeing them in person, something I also totally recommend. Get on the band now... they're gonna be huge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost like being there, July 26, 2002

O.A.R. (Of a Revolution) is a name to get used to, for the future is bright for these early 20-somethings. O.A.R. is a group that just seems to get better every time I hear them. This double-cd features a live concert in Maryland and is recorded by the same engineer employed by Dave Matthews Band for live recordings. The similarities between these two don't end there, however. Anybody who enjoys the upbeat songs from DMB can surely hop on the bandwagon (pardon the pun) with ease. The band arrangements even coincide, with both employing a saxophone for that unique flavor. A highly regarded group.

Recommended for fans of: Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Widespread Panic, Phish, Sublime, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Guster, Ben Harper, Bob Marley.

This review is from: Any Time Now (Audio CD)

Every CD that I have listened to has a certain passion, or a theme that comes from the writer's heart. Any Time Now by: O.A.R. follows the example of all the other CD's and expresses a sense of personal relationship through their beats, lyrics, and emotions. I would rate this CD high in my standards, considering I can listen to the whole soundtrack over and over without being bored or becoming tired of the songs. O.A.R. (Of A Revolution) uses their unique talents of creating a sound that never becomes old. They use the upbeat sound incorporated with a sense of mellowness to attract their fans to a mix of different genres. Through this CD, O.A.R. has about 30 plus songs that inherit their classic methods of writing music. A couple of the songs that I found were very popular and well known were, "Crazy Game Of Poker", "Black Rock", and sometimes even "Hey Girl". The one that has received the most response is "Crazy Game Of Poker" because of the recent interest in cards and how everyone seems to be listening to this particular song while they play poker. The listener will find a wide variety of plots and themes through this bands music. In addition to the wide variety, most songs on this album are very long in time length. Most of their songs range from 9 to 12 minutes in length, which is very long for musicians. With their classic method, O.A.R. has succeeded with this album and have created a quality CD that all ages can listen to. It would not surprise me if O.A.R. continued to excel in the music industry as long as they stay together and stick with what they are good with.
