I'm from Texas and the only way i could get this CD is from Amazon. I love it. it rocks. I usually like hard rock but this is the best, even if it's not the hardest. it still kicks

This is another work of art by Oleander. To me, their best work by far is the "Unwind" album. The song "Jimmy Shakur Day" here is from that "Unwind" record. This band is not heavy metal and neither is this cd. Considering that, this is not light rock or pop either. It is more comparable in style to bands like Candlebox, Collective Soul, and Black Lab. If you like this, check out Black Lab's "Your Body Above Me".

Reminiscent of Nirvana "B"-sides with a flare of HUM. Exceleent musical choice considering today's selection of over glamorized rapping metal bands and overdubbed hip-hop.

Oleander is comprised of four Sacramento guys who have worked hard for years playing music and really have their act together. Great live band, expect quality rock from these guys for a long time. Shrinking the Blob is just a glimpse of what lies ahead for Oleander.

''Oleander is 1 of my favorite bands and "Why I'm Here" is my favorite song of all time! I listen to that one song as much as i possibly can!

They have ten great tracks on "Shrinking the Blob." If you haven't heard this CD you should listen to it or buy it. This is a great band and CD.

I have had this CD since I picked it up at one of thier shows when they were still back home in sacto. If it ever becomes availible again, BUY IT. You will not regret it a bit. If not, BUY FEBRUARY SON. They a not only the best new band of the year, they are the nicest bunch of guys I have ever met. Check them out on thier tour and tell Ric "Kyle says hi"!!!

I have been to many Oleander concerts, and have loved each one, we have watched the members of the band learn to deal with the success that they have earned. Glad you guys made it. Don't forget about us here in Sacramento.

It arrived yesterday (couldn't find it in Canada - glad I ordered it!), and I am blown away. I bought it after hearing a 30 second clip here at Amazon, and am truly impressed! Not one of those CD's that litter my house as coasters, cuz I only liked one song... This one is a keeper for sure! All the tracks have a cool groove, and you especially gotta love "Boys Don't Cry" and "Why I'm Here". Good job!

This CD is another masterpiece by Oleander. If you ever get a chance by this CD, its awesome!
