OAR's New Single - This is gonna get bashed pretty badly

[TrampledUnderw.]

^speaking of free itunes songs, the best one I got was a Neo Violence by The Tough Alliance. A New Chance is an awesome album

pretty much Every song on their first few albums was solid. I still feel like they have a few decent songs on every album after IBNAT

SOAS - Nasim Joon, Dakota, 52-50

All sides: Dinner last night, War Song

King: are you low, dangerous connection., irish rose

Rockville LP - peace, caroline wreckingball

Saw them on Saturday in Wilmington - solid show. They have some good jams

Lol OAR

State Radio was awesome. Kind of surprised he didn't bring it back after Trump got elected. But yea Chad has been a consistent songwriter for a long time. Love his stuff and he's still putting out quality work.

There are way more "decent" songs on these records IMO. Even some real winners like The Architect, Tragedy in Waiting, Living in the End, and Place to Hide.

But these new songs are just bad. I want to like them. They're great guys and I want to support them, but damn. Combine mediocre-at-best songs with shitty pop production and this is what you get. It's so painfully obvious that they're trying to break into the modern pop space that gets radio airplay these days but I can't help but think the wiser decision would be to develop the sound that's gotten them a cult following and run with that.

It's like they still haven't come to terms with the fact that they're never playing MSG again. I've probably seen a ton of O.A.R. shows compared to most folks on here but I've definitely slowed down over the last few years. They went from having only a handful of "every night" songs (Poker, Hey Girl, Love and Memories) and now I have to sit through Peace, I Go Through, Heaven, etc. every show. Now Miss You All The Time and California will be added to that list...

forgot about architect. that's a pretty good song
