4.0 out of 5 stars Debut CD a good sign, February 14, 2001

Right now O.A.R. is the Dave Matthews Band of the Midwest. DMB started in Virgina...playing the local scene and growing a fan base through show-stopping performances and concert tape distribution. O.A.R., hailing from Ohio State is doing the same thing. Last week they released their record label debut "Risen." It sounds more professional than the other two previous albums, but I still love to throw in the moreless homemade "The Wanderer." This CD displays O.A.R.'s young, inexperienced side...hell, they created the CD provide the regulars with something to listen to. I have been listening to O.A.R. for almost two years now. Their new album is great, but get a good feel for O.A.R. first and find the roots of their beginnings. "The Wanderer" is an accomplishment not many 20-year old bands can claim...and it tells you something when you can put this CD on--in any situation--and just let it play through...listening to one great original song after another. In today's music industry, that is the most respectable things a band can accomplish.

Eat your hearts out NSYNC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow this is good, September 5, 2001

Great CD. It was an impulse buy that really paid off. The reviewer that called OAR the "Dave Matthews Band of the Midwest" got my interest enough to buy it. However, they have a sound that's truly their own. A great mix of Folk and Reggae, I love every song on the CD (except maybe "Black Rock", the only mediocre song on the album.) I highly recommend this to everybody, it has an appeal that's almost universal. I like it, my wife likes it, even my kids like it. However, my dog is indifferent. Plus it's a great conversation piece, you can be one of those guys who talk about music nobody's ever heard of.

My buddy in college gave me this CD. His friend had heard them at some bar at U of A, and bought a CD. This album is incredible. Now, the lyrics are not exactly deep...but they are catchy, recognizable, relatable sing- (shout-) along lyrics and girls love these songs, too. I had so, so, so many good nights listening to this CD getting absolutely tossed and singing as loud as I possibly could! Souls Aflame is a great album, too, but after that their more produced material (a lot of which is just rereleases of the first two album's tracks) kinda suck. They're weak sounding and poppy. Buy this CD and Souls Aflame. They're cheap. They're fun.
