notes

I looked over my shoulder and I saw '....of a revolution.'

O.A.R. works equally hard to ensure that each person who attends an O.A.R. concert comes away with an unforgettable memory. They give the audience a different show every time they come. So both band and audience, they make it a point of keeping things fresh.

Although both CDs are live studio recordings, only live shows offer the full experience of this one-of-a-kind band.

"We're (our generation) just trying to lose the stereotype as underachievers, when really we are discovering new achievements every day. We've just adapted to the situation past generations have put us in. The music represents the respect our generation deserves when we as a generation have been labeled as questionable in our future success." ----O.A.R.

  • OAR is the shizzy!

    I absolutely LOVE oar they are the best band in the whole world! my friend sara just introduced me to them and im LOVE them soo much...no much more to say! OAR is awesome!!

  • Hands down, this is what music is about.....
    author: OARPHAN

    This cd is amazing. Although their best work is captured live, this cd reveals the band's perfect sound, without sounding over produced. By far, listen to crazy game of poker, and you'll be hooked and never look back. If anyone can list any other bands as good as OAR, I want to know, cuz so far, other bands except for dispatch and DMB, pale in comparison!!!

  • music as it's made to be
    author: sean

    the greatest o.a.r. c.d. period. this is the roots of the band no publicity just roots. but still there is no o.a.r. like the live o.a.r. no c.d. is as good as they are live.

  • a GREAT listening EXPERIENCE
    author: Bruce Lomet (CHINASKI)

    From the opening tune to the last, this album never fails to keep one in a dancing mood, even when the subject matter of the songs turns to the inevitable relationship break-ups and other sad subjects. If your OAR listening experience has been anything like mine, this CD will make a great addition to your collection.

  • Greatest Music next to DMB
    author: Austin

    OAR is by far the greatest band i have ever heard. I first heard the song Crazy Game of Poker. It is amazing. Thats what got me hooked. I went home and downloaded like 25 songs. Amazing... I have all of their cd's and made many mixes. Good music to chill to.

  • This is a must-have
    author: Luke

    Since I got this CD it has been dominating play time both at home and at work. I can't seem to get enough. My favorite song on this album is "That Was A Crazy Game of Poker"; long (8:42), rambling (some of it has something to do with poker), and wonderful. Three songs are over seven minutes, three more over five, and none feel long. The vocals have a great sound, the playing is tight, and the lyrics are catchy. The album seems well-produced without being over-produced. This is good stuff! Highly recommended.

  • great album, unique souds, awsome instrumentation
    author: nathan

    this CD is nice! it has a lot of unique sounds that most artists don't blend in! can't wait to see what the band comes out with next, keep up the good work fellas!

  • O.A.R. is really one of the best bands at this time!
    author: Jon

    O.A.R is such a great band. All of there cd's are great. I can relate to there music so much. And the music puts you in the greatest moods. They are the best band besides DMB.

  • Great listening, very addictive, toe tapping music, LOVE IT!!!
    author: Denise Alto

    I saw them in concert in August of 2002. At the Gorge in George , Washington. And then I looked up thier WEb Site when I got home and saved it. Then I finally just bought it, January 2003. This is really good stuff keep up the fantastic work. Thanks, Denise

  • it all started with one song.....
    author: Stryker

    i'll admit that i started listening to oar because of crazy game of poker and that was the first track i went to on the cd but i soon found out that this is not a one hit wonder... when this cd goes in we just have to push play and thats it... every track is just that good... this is the utlimate drinking/chilling cd and band... i now have all of oar's cds and cant wait to see them in concert... i must say that i kinda like listening to this great band and being the only one to know who they are... keep up the good work!!!!!!

  • what can you say?
    author: Caroline

    it's just the best cd - i play it all the time--and i never get sick of it--like all the mainstream stuff out there--plus O.A.R. is the best so of course the cd is gonna rock!

  • O.A.R= best band ever!!!!

    O.A.R knows how to rock! They are amazing. This CD is by far the best CD I own, everyone should listen to them! All of the songs are incredible, I listen to it all the time and I dont plan on stoppin!!

  • Best C.D. by the Best Band in the World
    author: Adam

    The Wanderer is O.A.R. best non-live CD. Each song is amazing and when you put them all together the story it tells is awesome. Of the first three CD's this is the best, but their latest live release "Any Time Now" blew me away. I can't wait for their new CD release next March.

  • best dam album
    author: neil richards

    this album is by far one of the best i have in my collection and i only got it orginaly for crazy game of poker but there are so many other great songs on this masterpiece

  • Best Band EVER!!!
    author: John

    Even since the Wanderer came out I've prolly listened to it everyday. It hasn't gotten old it just gets better. I can completly relate to the music and their albums just keep getting better, which I thought was completely impossible. Oh and seeing them live is a life-changing experience I talk about every day of my life.

  • O.A.R is the shiznit!
    author: Rob

    OAR is the best group around. My cuz is jerry and im only 14...which means none of my friends really ever listened to them before....but after me and about 6 of my friends went to their pittsburgh show back on '01, they were all hooked...If anyone out there didn't pick up their new cd "any day now", go out and spend the 15 bucks on it, its their best cd to date. O.A.R.: you guys are amazing, keep it flowin

  • OARreview
    author: Oarreview

    O.A.R. is awesome!! Four out of the five members went to my high school, Wootton in Rockville, MD, and I have been a fan from the beginning! I'm so psyched that they are getting so famous! Rock on, your home town loves you!!

  • Music that just makes you feel good
    author: Doug Zubik

    I've always been a big music fan, but when my friends asked me to go to an oar concert with them, I thought why not I have nothing else to so I went, and oar has been my favorite band ever since. The Wanderer Is probably their best cd out of the three in my opionion. It's just so raw and unique from any other cd i've ever heard. Crazy Game of Poker is just alltogether a sweet song. Black Rock is just a song like no other, and it's a song that just makes you feel good when you listen. About Mr. Brown is probably my favorite song on the cd though, the lyrics are sweet. All together though The Wanderer is just a cd that makes you feel good no matter what you are doing.

  • best band since matchbox twenty!
    author: Elisabeth & Jenny

    This music is the VERY best we've heard in a long time.On our first visit to cincinnati, we heard the wonderer cd. It is THE BEST! PLEASE come to Indiana(again!)or someplace close so we can see you guys again!! Lots and LOTS of love! Always and forever yours, Elisabeth and Jenny

  • I dig this Groovy cd. The songs just have so much felling and flow so nice w/ ea
    author: Jesse

    The Cd is awesome. All the songs flow so nicely with each other and the lyrics on about an hour ago are so beautiful and on Hey Mr. Brown. Just a great cd. I recommend it to an hippy or any body.

  • oar is freaking awesome!
    author: Mike Hunt

    O.A.R is so amazing, i wish that they would do a tour in north carolina becuase i would go see them in concert in a heart beat! So thats something u guys should consider ;) ne ways keep up the awesome work ! yall kick a$$

  • o.a.r is definetly not bunk
    author: Grant Rockwood

    every song is the shit especially missing pieces.. O.A.R is teaming up w/ such bands as Widespread Panic, The Big Wu, The String Cheese Incident, Phish, and even Dave Mathews to represent our generation w/ some decent music

  • OAR puts feelings into words
    author: Courtney

    One of the most unique, independent bands around today is OAR. Since the band is comprised of normal college kids, they know exactly what we want to hear at parties, for oad trips, and for chill sessions. OAR has so much talent in it, so lets hope they stay small and uncorrupted by the recording industry. Go OAR!

  • oar is the sheot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: milla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    omg i went to the concert in atlanta on saturday and that was the best time of my life, i crowdsurfed and did everything that was awesome, i just want to say o.a.r. rocks my world and i got to meet them and hug them< hey to benj too!!!!!! i love u guys yal were great!@!!!!!!! mila

  • O.A.R. IS AMAZING!!
    author: Kelsie

    My basketball team and I listen to "That was a crazy game of Poker" before every game, and during warmups. I got the cd from my cousin in Vermont, and brought it to Montana, and now all my friends in my town loves it. Oar's rhythm is like none other around.

  • i have fallen in love w/ oar
    author: ammy

    i just want to tell you guys that you are awsome! the best and i dont know what i would do without o.a.r. well i have been to many of your shows and they were unbelievable.... the best show was at the house of blues in chicago!!!! i love you guys, keep up the good work.. and hopefully i will one day get a chance to meet you! i love you all and wish you the best of luck in the future! your # 1 in my heart!!!

  • Wonderful
    author: -z

    I think it's awesome that this band resurrects reggae and brings it to the eyes of a generation whose sad, pathetic idea of reggae is Baha Men. "Black Rock" does for reggae what "Basket Case" did for punk: it lets listeners know that the genre is still alive and doing very well. The music of "The Wanderer" is essential for road trips and chill sessions. Buy this album.

  • A Great Album
    author: David

    This cd is possible one of the best cd's I have in my collection. I have been following O.A.R. for a long time and I tell you this, if you haven't seen them live, go and see them. I have seen them many times and each show is different.

  • a revolution of music
    author: Clay

    this cd is great, when a song ends the next one picks up where the last one left off, one flowing melody, just press play and repeat all, because like all of their music you could listen all day

  • the BEST cd!!!!
    author: ~emily

    this cd is so great!! O.A.R is totally different then any other band out here right now. The first song i heard by them was "crazy game of poker" and after listening to it over 50 times, i still love it. O.A.R is even better in concert. over the summer i had the AWESOME Privilege of meeting them in person, and ive loved them ever since!! O.A.R IS THE BEST!!!!!

  • Everybody loves poker!
    author: Yale Madden

    When I first came to college I thought I was the only person who listened to OAR. But then I started asking around and it seemed like everyone had at least heard of the Crazy Game of Poker. I've never met a person that didn't like this song. It's f-ing awesome.

  • changed my life
    author: Yale Madden

    The first time I heard A Crazy Game of Poker I fell in love with this music. My friend put this CD in while we were on a long country ride and it was the best time of my life, it seems like every song gets better and it expresses the things I'm feeling in my life. I love this music!

  • The only CD you can listen to straight through with songs that get better each t
    author: Hockeydmb123

    oh man this cd when i first heard it was amazing first of all the second song "Crazy Game of Poker" is the best song to sing along to it is the best song and i will never get sick of it the lyrics are perfectly written Marc has a great voice and every song is so differt

  • THE NEXT DAVE MATTHEWS BAND!!!
    author: Matt Teitelbaum (biggest O.a.r. Fan)

    I can't think of another cd which I have listened completely through and enjoyed the entire thing. O.A.R. could be the best band ever. They deserve more attention then the whole record industry. The music is for everyone whether your white, black, asian, japanese, russian whatever...I hope this band becomes huge. I recently went to one of their concerts and they made sure it was the best concert anyone has been. I can't think of words to desribe them except unbelieveable. They are somewhat of a mix between Barenaked Ladies and Dave Matthews Band yet completely original with their own sound. I don't knwo what else to say except get your hands on all three of their great cd's and go to everyone of their concerts you can. Good Luck to the Band!!!

  • Awesome CD!!!!!!
    author: West Ky Camp :)

    This CD is awesome and just makes you want to dance. Crazy Game of Poker quickly became our end of the camp song. I am so glad that I was exposed to this talented band.

  • A Peek at the Future
    author: The Washington Post

    This CD showcases this bands talent perfectly. These boys will no doubt be enteraining fans for years to come.

  • best band
    author: Em

    i love this c.d.,but everyone needs to hear, RISEN, and their other album, Souls A Flame. look out for "hey girl," "delicate few," "city on down," and untitled.

  • More crazy than any game of poker!!!!!!!!!!
    author: The Other Crazy One!!

    I was introduced to this band by my ex boyfriend. we listened to ot on all of our road trips, and it totally brought more meaning to all road trips and him in general. i want to thank him for introducing me to them, and the band for the CRAZY music they've entertained me with. I LOVE O.A.R.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh My God, This CD rox!!
    author: Syd

    I think Oar has gone above and beyond the name of a great CD. I bought this CD and when i lisened to it all i was like Whoa! so if you are looking for some awesome, great music than this is what you want.

  • One of the most interesting, but enjoyable album's I have ever heard...
    author: Shalyn

    I was very easily sucked into the up beat, funky vibes this disc sent me. To me it kinda resembles a really mellow ska band with a little touch of the reggae rock/punk sound. They actually remind me of Sublime... My favorite song is Black Rock, that song will definitely get anyone grooving along... It's been awhile that I have actually discovered a new band that had some real talent, O.A.R. has definitely got it, and is definitely worth a listen. Once you start you will be totally addicted, and you won't be able to stop... The wanderer always leaves you in suspense of what might be next...

  • "The Wanderer" Produces Poetic Rythm Revolutionizes 21st Century Rock
    author: Bp4tcu

    Never in my life have I been instantaneously hooked on a genere. O.A.R.'s first of three CD masterpieces, The Wanderer, gives listeners a sound that fuses simple yet poetic words into a rythmic display of brilliance. Mid-song transitions, time and key signature changes, along with a hard-hitting sax that accents the band's unique style in nearly all of the CD's songs, keep listeners poised for more great hits to come. In order to get a feel for the band's inherent talent and musical progression, The Wanderer is a MUST HAVE!

  • BONUS
    author: Lisa

    These days does anyone rarely find a CD that is worht the time to listen to all the way through. This CD has broken that monotanous mold. You can throw this CD in your player and feel good the entire time it is paying. It sounds like a drug because it is. You need this CD.

  • Incredible. Whole album is amazing.
    author: William

    Everything on this cd is worth buying. These guys are amazing.

  • BEST band in the world!!
    author: Jessica

    This has to be the best Cd out of all the o.a.r. CD's i think. They are the best band ever and i think everyone should own an o.a.r. CD. If you ever get to see them in concert you are lucky because it is something that you will never forget!!!

  • the most memorable song-crazy game of poker
    author: Erin Kay

    This cd is absolutely wonderful. Crazy game of poker in general is one of my favorites. I heard it for the first time when i met the most wonderful person. Everytime I hear this song it brings back wonderful memories. Thanks

  • O.A.R. is the best band ever!!

Catch em in a show if you can - I've seen them countless times and each time I'm amazed at how talented these boys are. It really shows through on this CD.

    The first time I heard crazy game of poker was on Spring Break and I have just played it over and over again and haven't gotten tired of it yet! These guys have a lot of talent.

  • Amazing
    author: Kaiser

    This is one of the greatest CD's I have ever heard. Out of all of .O.A.R.'s CD's this is by far the best one. All the songs on it are amazing. I do not think that I will ever get tired of this CD.

  • beautiful
    author: Nati

    okok there is no other way to say it people, oar is the music of our lifetime. their wide variety of music is spine-tickling, at their last concert i remember getting the chills when crazy game of poker came on, they are a group never to forget.

  • LISTEN UP!
    author: Wrangler Bob

    oar is kicking ass and taking names with this one! Its definitely a CD that needs to be pumpin' in your car the whole summer. These guys keep it fresh and catchy from beginning to end. UNBELIEVABLE!

  • Kick Ass CD!!!!

    The entire cd is great listening. Buy it as soon as possible. You Will not be Dissapointed, you will be amazed.

  • Excellent CD all the way through!!!
    author: Mike Pealer

    This CD ended up being our Spring Break 2001 CD of choice. We played it everyday while we were kicking back relaxing or during our endless games of Beruit. Buy it, you will not regret it.

  • OAR Kicks ass!!
    author: Matt

    This CD is fantastic and shows how flexible the band is. There is a distinct difference from the music on this CD as compared to the first one they put out, but the sound is still amazing. I would recommend this CD to all Dave Matthews, Phish, Rusted Root, or Bob Marley fans.

  • This album kicked ass
    author: Dick Buttkiss

    the wanderer is without a doubt OAR's best album and probably one of the best albums of the 90's. That was a crazy game of poker is the best song ever written or played in the history of the world. OAR kicks ass!

  • not Missing any Pieces
    author: Tree

    This CD is so fun and addicting! It has a little bit of everything, regge, ska, rock... I play it over the radio at the ski hill I work at and everytime someone will come in and ask me about it. I would love to see O.A.R. live!

  • It's the best and most entertaining cd I have bought in a long time.
    author: Mary

    This Cd has captivating lyrics and catchy tunes that you will have in your head all day. A definite buy for anyone who likes to listen to something new and original. It's worth the money.

  • perfect for all occasions
    author: That Person

    This CD is perfect to put in your player/stereo anytime. It is a party CD, it is a chill CD, it is a motivational CD, it is a reggae CD, it is a pop CD, it is a rock CD. It one of those CDs that your friend borrows and never returns. Its that CD that you can leave in your car player and listen on repeat for months at a time. Certainly one of my favorite CDs.

  • Amazing
    author: Sarah

    This cd is awesome for partying and getting pumped up. I listened to it before I swam at a huge swim meet and dropped seconds off my time. It makes me break into a smile whenever I listen to it, making me want to have fun, and to top it all off the lyrics have meaning behind them.

  • A fresh sound not to be ignored
    author: Paul

    The songs here are arranged with great energy and ambition. It's pure and honest and its raggae flair brings originality and an edge to common themes of the day. A great reflection of life in college.

  • Amazing
    author: Maria

    This CD reminds me a lot of Sublime. Not that they are exactly alike but similar. The Wanderer has more of a positive beat that tells an honest story with lil bits of twists. Anyone who loves music made for warm weather will love this CD. And may I recommend it for parties as well for kick @$$ karma.

  • WANDERERful
    author: Stokes

    This album is a great way to kick of a career. They put together a masterpiece with That was a Crazy Game of Poker and then kept everyone happy with Black Rock, About an Hour Ago, and About Mr. Brown. WOW!

  • Cool Cool!!
    author: Maggie_b.

  • the most hip hoppin band on the block!
    author: Courtney

    THis band kicks so much ass it is almost unbelievable.. I ama big fan of DMB, and this band has now come up to ranks with them, their tunes are great for any mood and they always put a smile on my face.. They should come out to CALI sometime and do some promotional stuff out here, we would all be lovin it!

  • Ridiculous how good it is!
    author: Patrick Leonard

    Wicked cool CD... OAR definitely puts together a sweet mix of progressive sounds with a kinda funky island twist. "Black Rock" is a great song, and frankly, the lyrics get lodged in my head.

  • OAR Live Kicks ASS!
    author: Kevin Fitz

    Poker, the OAR trademark song is incredible. So are the rest of these songs. I've been to 3 live shows and they are amazing, the best times I've ever had! If you like DMB, Phish or any of that type of stuff, listen to OAR. These guys will definitely pump you up! Peace.

  • O.A.R. next DMB

  • Booty shakin sextastic sounds
    author: Joe Rice

    Damn! That's really I want to say, nothing more can be said about a bad ass band like them

  • Great Music, catching and soulful
    author: Rich

    This is such an awesome CD!! The songs are so catchy. I listen to it in my car and find myself closing my eyes and just jamming!! (which might be a bad thing) From the slow, catchy, soulful beat of blackrock to the dance-hardy beat of CGOP this album is complete. You guys have to get air-play for your songs, the world is ready for music like this.

  • THE LIVE SHOWS
    author: Dilo

    THIS BAND IS SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME .I HAVE BEEN TO THREE CONCERTS AND I WILL KEEP GOING BACK NO MATTER THE PRICE OF THE TICKET. IF YOU LIKE THE SONGS NOW , THEY ARE ABOUT 10 TIMES BETTER LIVE,ESPECIALLY 'CRAZY GAME..'. I CAN DEFINATELY SAY THIS BAND IS ONE OF A KIND....

  • This release is probably the essential OAR CD.
    author: Matt Williams

    This music, although somewhat overdone by crappy imitations, is incredibly unique. On this release, OAR fuses rock, folk rock, reggae, and even a little rockabilly together to create a very fun album. I often tell people that OAR is party band. This is a CD you can put in at a party and everyone in the room, no matter what music they like, can enjoy them. Although not as polished as other bigger bands albums, this CD almost captures the energy of a live show, since it is a live studio recording. For anyone who likes music that is simply fun to listen to, this is a must-have.

  • IT ROCKS!!!!
    author: Anna

    The first time I ever heard O.A.R. I fell in love with them! This C.D. is AWESOME!! Every song ROCKS! I have to listen to it on a daily basis...Can never forget that crazy game of poker! Thanks for gettin' me into them Katie!

  • Best Cd I've Ever Bought
    author: Greg23

  • Catchy, soulful, funk-a-licious!
    author: Sonya

    Not only did I fall in love with this CD the first time I heard it, but every time I play it in my car, everyone asks who it is! They are so addictive, and after seeing them live for the first time, I can't wait to see them again!

  • Great band, great music, good time had by all

    OAR kicks ass! First time I heard them was off of napster, "Crazy Game" great song, but it doesn't begin to describe this band. I listen to the whole CD, but my favorite songs are CGOP, Conquering Fools, Get Away, About an Hour Ago, Toy Store, and Mr. Brown. Great compostion of simple chords, great bass lines, and good drum parts. Aren't too many bad parts to the album. Peace

  • wow, oar is damn good
    author: Bryan

    oar, i think is like oar, but better with some songs and is a good band to learn songs off of. i just wished they came and toured the midwest, foxtrot zulu not to shabby either. jin and juice kicked major ass. its my favorite song

  • Soundtrack for a lifetime
    author: Stephanie

    This entire cd has been the soundtrack for my last couple of years here in college. There's no other album that gets as much play as this one around my house.

  • the cd is very good, very creative band
    author: Zach

    This CD is a very good. The creativity of OAR and the lyrics make it what it is. It reminds me of this other band Black Tooth Grin. In particular 'poker' is a great song to listen to, we play it when we are about to get liquored up.

  • Music that brings friends together
    author: Ned Mcknight

    Whenever my buddies get together to pre-party, play cards, or BBQ "The Wanderer" is a must. While listening to this music with my friends I have made many memories that will last a lifetime. This CD is a must for the Zen Philosopher and Dharma Bum in all of us.

  • Flawless
    author: Arensberg

    Wow! there isnt a bad track or filler track to be found. Wanderer is ridiculous!!! Buy the CD now

  • OAR KICKS SOME SERIOUS ASS
    author: Meg

  • it makes me wet...
    author: Vera

    The first time I heard OAR I liked them, but when I saw them live in concert I loved them and had to get their CD. And damn was it good! Rarely do you find a CD with every song being great. I love their style--it's just great music to play anytime.

  • FUCKING AMAZING!!!
    author: Bridgette

    I can't say enough good things about this cd. OAR is so awesome!! I love every one of their songs! I can't wait for their new cd "risen" to come out! I love you guys!

  • ITS SOO AWESOME!!!
    author: Samantha

    This CD keeps u bouncing your head. The music has great varity between something loud and exciting to something mellow and low!! Its awesome!!

  • I really enjoy your music and I love the CD!
    author: Michelle

    This cd is really good but I don't understand why it is called The Wanderer when the actual song is on the other CD.That's crazy!

  • This CD is a classic
    author: Lauren Burrows

    This CD is a classic. I first heard it last summer from a friend in Ohio and I've been trying to spread it in New Jersey ever since. You can listen to it over and over and over again. I actually cry when I hear "About Mr. Brown" and I'm usually not that sappy. "Conquering Fools" is also amazing to dance to. If you have any common sense you'd buy this CD.

  • Touched my soul the first time I heard it !!
    author: Lee Crawford

    I don't know if man has invented words to describe this CD! Its the best thing in the world, and it gives you an over all happiness!! If you don'y have it, then you are missing out!

  • An excellant CD everyone should own
    author: Sean Sapp

    After the first time you hear this album you are addicted. The first song wets the appetite and it gets better from there. The CD stays on track so you never want to stop playing it or take ot out of your CD player. The most unnoticed song is About Mr. Brown, which shows that the band can groove. The next Dave Mattews band is here and the name OAR.

  • It's the best CD i own
    author: Amy

    author: Kelli Butler

    author: Hannah

    The minute i heard "revolution" i was hooked on this band, these guys are going to get big someday and they deserve it! They have a distinct sound which makes them a little different from all the others. I hope to see a few concerts in the future!!!!!

  • Never have i loved Poker so much!!
    author: Scott

    author: Alden

    the wanderer is the best cd i have ever owned. It Puts you in a great mood when you are sad, is great for parties and just driving in your car. Most Cd's just have one or two good songs. But with the wanderer you cant go wrong. any track and all tracks rock. great going guys.This cd is actually worth buying and not totally expensive

  • Feel Good Music For Those Drunken Nights !!!
    author: Chris Rathburn

    This Cd stays in my cd player at all times and when I need a positive vibe I sit back in my beach chair and hit play! It is one of the best party cd's I have ever come across! I could be in the worst mood ever, listen to crazy game of poker and the world could crumble outside my window and I wouldn't care. Keep that good vibe alive with THE WANDERER!!

  • And you thought Dave was good..........
    author: Julie Wssserbach

    This CD is so chill!If you're just trying to listen to some music to hang out to, drink to, be drunk and act stupid to, sing to and all that other good stuff, this is the one. Crazy Game of Poker is by far the best song on the CD but Toy Story and Black Rock are come close. Sorry DMB, you've got some mad competition going on here

  • this cd rocks always
    author: Natalie Heter

    I was introduced to this cd by a friend in 1997, and I saw you at Rebelpalooza, and met you guys when you visited friends of the sigma chis. Your music is awesome and I need another cd because mine was stolen. No worries since I found you guys to purchase your cd. Best of luck and your music always puts me in a great mood. Thanks!!!!

  • two words....... fucking awesome
    author: Beth

    This cd is easily the best in my collection. The wanderer offers a mix of music ranging from good drinking music that you can dance around like a crazy person to or more mellow tunes. Both types have great lyrics that are beautiful and give an insight into the artist. I would say that anyone who doesn't have this Cd is missing out

  • Best Dancing Mix
    author: Dan Walters

    My cousin got me into OAR and once i heard "Crazy Game of Poker" i was hooked. The disc has up beat songs like CGOP, "Black Rock", and "About an Hour Ago", and then it turns around with songs like "Toy Store". Best C.D. i've ever bought!

  • awesome!
    author: Camden Hodge

    I found crazy game of poker on napster by accident, and listened to it ne way. i'm glad i did, its awesome. Every song on this CD is awesome, and now everyone down here in Spartanburg SC are hooked

  • Better than anything you've ever heard.
    author: Bryan @ Calvin

    This cd is one of those epic cds that you wish you bought earlier. Not a bad song on it, and after one listen you instantly know all the words. OAR changed my life is something people say a lot, and you probably will too if you get this cd. Peace!

  • Best fuckin cd ever!!!
    author: Tyler

  • O.A.R. kicks DMB's ass!
    author: Andrew

    Crazy Game of Poker is the best song ever written. No one can touch it. Pop this CD in when you're at a party or on the beach, whatever. Anytime, anywhere, this CD always kicks ass.

  • In one word,"outrageous"....
    author: Quincy

    I first heard them from a friend. The first song I heard was " A crazy game of poker ". After hearing them, I rushed out and bought the cd. To be honest, the song is really good on the cd, but it is even better in concert.

  • author: Jer

    This CD was great. I recieved it from a friend & I am now making copies of it for every one to hear. I even gave a copy of it to a local bar in hope that O.A.R. would perform here. Southern Illinois University in carbondale. Thax Guys.

  • best new sound i've heard in a long time
    author: Kevin

    A couple of buddies introduced to o.a.r. a couple of months ago and i was hooked immediately. They have a great sound and aren't fake. They play straight from the heart and I respect a band like that. I can play them at any time and not get tired of them. I only hope that they will continue to play as passionately as they do and I'll keep on listening.

  • Single best "have a good time" CD ever made
    author: Grady Bass

    This CD is remarkable. It contains that good feeling vibe throughout all nine tracks. It has great sing-a-long lyrics mixed in with tricky vocals that emphasize the lead singer's great voice. Overall this CD is unbelievable and remains as one of my top 3 favorite CD's of all time.

  • love the upbeat tunes. Even 41 year olds will like the music!
    author: Leeser

    Great set of tunes. Even a 41 year old mom enjoys the upbeat music while driving her 2 teenage sons and friends around!

  • Most unbelievable unknown band ever.

    O.A.R is unbelievable. they went to my highschool and everyone loves them. Thier music is the best you'll hear it makes you just wanna sing along.

  • When will they burst? Oh so good!
    author: Stevie G

    What a CD! It starts out so heavy and fun ("Crazy..Poker"), waning to a passive vibe ("Black Rock"), and ends with vigor! This band rocks hardcore. In fact, I had a copy of their CD that I got from a friend, who had stolen it from someone else. Then, mine was stolen by who I played them for! It ended up through like 7 different hands at one point! Also, O.A.R. is the ONLY band ever to stay in my head for at least 3 days straight!

  • my favorite CD
    author: Will

    My friend introduced me to this band and they have become my favorite. It is so refreshing to hear a band that is original and to hear lyrics that are clever and meaningful. The blend of pop, rock and reggae make this CD one of the best CD's I have heard. When are you guys coming to NYC?

  • A unique eclectic sound that paves the way for the next generation of alternativ
    author: The Big Delicious

    Oar's island/rock approach to music is a unique alternative to the boring rock that clogs the present day airwaves. It captures a sense of respect that has been overshadowed by the trendy mtv bullshit of today. Oar's music always fills the room with good spirits and serves as a pleasant refuge. Bottom line, Oar can't be touched.

  • The Wanderer
    author: Ryguy

    This has everything you need to make an all around great CD. There are roots of pop, rock, and reggae. This CD is great party music, you can sing dance and best of all, drink to it. What a great CD!!!

    author: Juice

    O.A.R.'s first effort in the music industry was a successful one. Their songs are addicting and i couldnt live without them. Marc Roberge's lyrics so innovative and original.

    author: Zach K.-n'ville

    this cd is certainly one every music fan needs in their collection. OAR is the most amazing band out there today; with their original sounds, and chill rythym, they have what it takes to go big. all they need to do is keep it real and keep putting out these bomb cds. souls aflame is awesome too..little bit better quality, but these two a a definate for anyone. keep rocking guys!!

  • Absolutely awesome - great sound!
    author: Claire

    The Wanderer is a fantastic CD, all the cuts are great, its a sound that's unique and full of flavor. Take Sublime and Green Day and combine them into a CD full of strong beats and intriguing lyrics, that's O.R.E.'s The Wanderer.

  • The Best!!!
    author: George

  • Awesome Party CD
    author: J. Mac

    This CD is increadible. I was at James Madison University in VA when I first heard this CD. It was played at a party and I had never heard such an enthused crowd. Everybody at the party piled into one room and was just belting out the tunes as they were played. I was absolutely amazed that such an increadible CD has gone unnoticed for such a long time. I decided to bring OAR to my college, York College of PA. They had an awesome concert at Ocean City 2 weeks ago, I strongly suggest that you see them live!

  • Faaaaantaaaaastic CD
    author: Randy (unv. Of Akron)

    I feel "The Wanderer" is a great cd simply because it's so simplistic. I've never heard such great music played that sounded so basic. A lot of the times the easiest music to play is the best music to listen to and that's what "The Wanderer" gives us. It's reggae, island vibe with great rhythms and outstanding lyrics makes this CD something that all of us will cherish for the rest of our lives.

  • YOU ROCK THE PARTY THAT ROCKS THE PARTY

  • UNBELIEVABLE!!! ....great cd for any occasion....
    author: Jason Wheatley

    ~this is by far the best cd that I have heard in a long, long time. this is one cd that is truly enojoyable from track1 to the end....although I like how O.A.R. has not yet caught on as "the latest trend" like has happened to so many other bands, I have no idea how a band with so much talent and such a great sound could have gone this long without gaining national recognition for their music, and a giant record deal. ~bands like O.A.R. are rare and don't come around often, what they have is special and I hope they continue to make great music.

  • This is the best cd
    author: Robby Robson

    i thought that this cd was the greatest and best listened to at HIGH volumes

  • i think o.a.r really kicks ass
    author: Johnny Brozoki

    i just gave it 2 stars because i wanted to be original.. anyways, i really think this cd is exceptional and their new sound is kinda universal.. driving music, drinking music, maybe even sexing music.. they really sound good in any situation. i give it 5 stars and recommend it to anybody

  • Goldmine!!!
    author: Clay

    This CD is great, i love every song on the CD. You can't go wrong with "o.a.r.". The last time i loved a band this much was the "Refreshments", another lesser known group. "o.a.r." has a charismatic way to make you want more, MORE, MORE!!! I can't wait to get my hands on any new songs!

    The first time I heard OAR was on spring break in Cancun. My brother brought a burned copy of it down. Wow, did that get the party started everytime we played it! Amazingly enough the song I liked most was an hour ago, not the crazy game of poker, even though I love that song too. I must say that I've never listened to a cd where every song rocks. I'm hooked.

  • The best group and CD ever made. Everyone loves them.
    author: Brett

    This CD and souls aflame are the best CD's ever made. It is so chill and the best to listen to Drunk. Buy this CD you don't know what you are missing.

  • Oar's crazy game of poker is awesome
    author: Nick

    Oar's Crazy Game of Poker is one of the best songs I have ever heard! You guys rock and I hope I get the chance to see you guys play live!

  • Get Hooked The Right Way
    author: George

    With the release of Of A Revolution (OAR) freshman CD they started on their way to success in the underground. Probably the most popular track on this CD is "That Was a Crazy Game of Poker" I'm sure of which most people know the band by. The CD however is more. That track in particualr is the one that got me hooked and as I'm sure many others. There is more to the CD though. The reason I give this CD 4 stars and not 5 is because of the widening popularity of the song "Crazy Game of Poker" the song is overplayed and kills the band because no one else...except for acctual fans has ever listened to the whole CD. What does make this CD great is the way it transitions. If you do listen to the whole CD it is better than any other CD out there. If you do buy this CD i would listen to it all the way through i would not just listen to track 2 or anyother track by themselves unless you plan to listen to them all.

  • buy the CD, you won't stop listening to it

    this CD is very well rounded with great sound mixes. I am from Kansas and heard the album from a friend of mine in Arizona. I loved it. I only wish record companies would carry it here in Wichita.

  • A great band....fantastic CD
    author: Hadley

    This CD is fantastic...you get hooked with the first few chords, and you have to keep listening!! No matter what kind of music you like, you will love 'The Wanderer' It's great for parties, or just chillin..pick it up!

  • O.A.R. rocked the House
    author: Jeff

    Oar Rocked the Sigma chi house at UNLV. This CD is great and I recommend it to all!!!!!!

  • A Sweet CD
    author: Katie

    I first heard "That Was A Crazy Game of Poker" down at Mt. St. Mary's in Maryland. I instantly loved it and had the hardest time finding the artist. When I finally did I purchased one of the best CD's I've ever owned. It's well worth your money, and I think that no matter what kind of music you listen to, you'll w/out a doubt be very pleased with this CD. It pumps you up to go out and party.

  • This CD KICKS ASS

  • OAR is on their way up!
    author: Courtney

    The CD THE WANDERER is the best from OAR... Souls Aflame is amazing too, but everytime I put on this CD I am automatically in a good mood. OAR fever is spreading like wild fire across Ohio...if you havent been hit, YOU WANT TO BE! The entire CD is filled with songs that can be played in any atmosphere. I highly suggest buying THE WANDERER...I honestly think it will go down in History as one of the greatest CDs ever produced!

  • I love this CD
    author: Audry

    This CD is addicting. I have yet to take it out of my CD player, and i have had it for almost five months now. The lyrics are catchy and the melody is enticing. I was introduced to OAR with "That Was A Crazy Game of Poker", and now i love all of their songs.

  • How Amazing Oar is!
    author: Josh

    Oar is certainly an experience! I got hooked on them from their "Crazy game of Poker" and it just got more addicting with every other song I heard. I recently went to their concert in Toledo, OH @ the Roxy and it was incredible. To really enjoy OAR you have to see them in concert. They treat the crowd as guests and its a great atmosphere. Oar is one of the best bands I know!

    We first heard this CD when we had visitors come to San Diego from Defiance Ohio. Since then we keep singing "That Crazy Game of Poker." Anyone who has heard that song would know why. Come here to Sunny San Diego to play for us, you would rock here. E-Mail us back. P.S. We'll see you in L.A. on the 15 of April.

  • unique music that leaves everyone wanting more
    author: Nick

    i began listening to oar a couple years ago when i first picked up 'the wanderer'. after introducing the cd to my friends, they all went out to get their own copy. it is rare to witness a band who is immediately supported by everyone who has ever heard even one of their songs. the music seems alive and mixes great beats with amazing lyrics. many people have asked me if you could take one cd to an island, which one would it be? well thats an easy decision for everyone who owns this cd: its 'the wanderer'.

  • Buy this cd
    author: Rick

    This cd is unreal, I couldn't believe these guys haven't been recognized nationwide yet. Great work guys!

  • This CD kicks ass
    author: Tony

    O-A-R is the shit!! Both of their CDs are awesome, I suggest that you also get Souls Aflame, both are great to chill to, or the best, parties!! There shows are also a must see!!!

  • author: Josh Dillon

    I would like to be the first to congratulate the guys for best Independent CD of the Year! You guys are my friends, compadre's, and coworkers; let's rock this world! Peace, JD
