Title: of a (personal) revolution
Product review: I was first introduced to the magic that is O.A.R. in a small apartment window around midnight, looking down on the wet streets of a suburb of Lima, Peru (in South America), watching some local kids hurling on the neighbor's bushes after one too many cheap beers. The glorious intonations emanating from the headphones of my friend's borrowed CD player that night thoroughly addicted me. Since then, I have seen O.A.R. every time they've come through the Washington, D.C. area, from their hometown of Rockville, Maryland (20 minutes north of me) to DAR Constitution Hall, to the Barns at Wolf Trap, and to the now semi-famous 9:30 Club downtown, where this album was recorded. I can say from personal experience that this album represents the TRUE O.A.R. - the O.A.R. that spent years touring college towns before ever putting out an album that, in my opinion, ruined the vocals completely. For the O.A.R. concert devotee, nothing could've topped a collection better.
