What Is The Best OAR Song Or Album?

“In Between Now and Then” is easily OAR’s best album. Released in 2003, this album was full of solid jam rock that the group eventually abandoned for a more soft-rock sound. The production on this album was excellent and though many songs had some distinct similarity to Dave Matthew’s Band, they still had plenty of their own sound. The reggae influence is a bit more subtle throughout this album, but the vibe still definitely extends to the overall sound.

Though Marc Roberge is not a particularly good singer, the studio polish on this album really helps him out. There is also the fact that the instruments take center stage in most of the songs and the catchy hooks make you forget about any uneven vocals. On “Hey Girl” and “Right on Time”, the vibe is a rowdy one and any vocal issues are barely noticeable. “Old Man Time” and “Any Time Now” are a bit more dubious, but they are nevertheless, smooth and interesting songs.

The album contains a total of fifteen tracks, but two of these are very short intros and outros. It clocked in at a little over an hour.
