Format:Audio CD
As always, it takes a few listens of an album to truly start picking up on all it's intricacies when it comes to a band as deep as OAR. It is true that they are a jam band, but that is left for their live shows. I heard them play a few tracks off of King just three days after it launched and you can instantly tell the difference. This album is just another step in their amazing evolution as the best non-mainstream band around. Does it sound exactly like they did 15 years ago back in high school? Of course not, there will always be a place in all of their fans hearts for Wanderer and Soul's Aflame, but their new sound still screams OAR. King is both upbeat with high energy as well as contemplative about just living your life to the fullest. Give it a listen and I know you won't be disappointed.

KING sees O.A.R. continue to mature both musically and lyrically. The album has a cohesive message about living life to the fullest and is incredibly uplifting. Marc takes simple ideas and turns them into something special ('Gotta Be Wrong Sometimes'). The fusion of short jams, radio-friendly reggae pop and interludes all come together well. Best track: 'Dangerous Connection'.

King is polished. It's a great album. The songs feel tight and cohesive. It's great to hear a return of the wanderer! This could easily be the best O.A.R. studio album.

Great!
I love anything OAR does, but this album is really great. I think there is about an 8 way tie for my favorite song.

bought on a whim
I bought this on a whim as I liked some of their older songs. I was not disappointed at all. Actually the title song is my least favorite (but I still like it).

OAR
It was a very good CD. All of the songs are amazing. The 4 bonus tracks are also very good.

It was strange at first
It's definitely not the same old stuff, but I find it to be refreshing and new. It definitely grows on you. For the haters, well, as Marc Roberge said... Read more

Just awful
I really don't get the positive reviews. I am a lifelong fan and this is mainstream garbage. Don't buy this album.

Love <3
Pleased with the album. I can listen to it all the way through just like every other OAR album. Glad I got a deal on it too :)

Worst OAR release to date
I grew up in MD and listened to OAR throughout HS and college. This is by far the worst material they've released. I miss the good old pre sellout days.
