Oar

Rolling Stone (4/11/02, p.108) - Ranked #38 in Rolling Stone's "50 Coolest Records".
Rolling Stone (9/20/70, p.37) - "...anarchic in conception but somehow holding onto form and rhythm in execution...OAR presents some of the most comfortable music I've ever heard..."
Rolling Stone (8/5/99, p.66) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...Genius and madness coexist brilliantly on OAR's deceptively still waters. This sonically faithful and lovingly documented reissue will only further its legend."
Spin (10/91) - Highly Recommended - "...psychedelic blues...the sound on this reissue is magnificent...OAR has long been one of America's truly exceptional musical experiences..."
Mojo (9/99, p.118) - "...Oscillating between biblical apocalypse, looney tunes humour, therapeutic release, and 'sincere belief'...OAR is nothing less than a spiritual and psychic journey....[It] remains as fresh as the moment when it was recorded..."
Wire (9/99, p.56) - "...As a devolution of pop forms into haunted madness....it's unique...OAR is the sound of a dark night of the soul, but its stumbling one-man-band overdubs and half formed tunes make it very hard to listen to....The good news is that this latest reissue restores the foggy original mix...and a few of the songs are really lovely..."
Dirty Linen (2-3/00, p.82) - "...an unusual album...[It] does as much to capture the sound and soul of the raggedy, revolutionary 60s as much as any other recording of its time....an unfinished work from an unfinished life."
