Awe inspiring

while on the surface it sounds like a slight departure from earlier works, this album is honest to "essence" that is the most under-appreciated bands in rock! A good mix of acustic ballads, and guitar heavy uptempos. Even casual listeners will be awed by "Runaway Train," "Rainy Day," and the unique sound and lyrics of "Fountain and Vine"

Much love...

I love these guys. Not many people have heard of them (or in my experiances anyway!) I have seen them in concert and I just think that they are great!!

This Plain Rocks

Recently freed from their major label shackles, Oleander sound better for it. Songs like "30,60,90" and "Off & On" rock harder than anything they've ever done and crackle with energy. Such enthusiasm pervades the entire disc and even shows on lower key numbers, like "Runaway Train" and "Fountain & Vine." It's a shame that such a quality record wasn't released on a major label with more promotional clout. Regardless, if you like straight ahead no-frills rock, it's difficult to knock this. Pick it up.
