Title: What happened to the O.A.R. I Used to Know?
Review: Things change, sure we all know that. But, this change for O.A.R. going from an unknown to a major record label is a change for the worst. Their music here on the new album is not indicitive of the great, fun music O.A.R. is known for putting out on their previous albums (the best of which I thought was "Souls Aflame"). The problem for old O.A.R. fans will be that all the songs on this cd are messed with by the studio and take away from the lean and bare straight shooting sound of O.A.R. That is what made them such a great live band. When musicians like them get messed with by studios it is for the worst. Like John Mayer he is at is best live. My advice...go out and get O.A.R.'s earlier cds.
Is the review positive or negative?
