I do think we have to bring things into perspective here. OR have a distinctly American sound which has never set the scene alight over here in blighty. Add to that OR have a slight alternative edge means that exposure over here is minimal. HOWEVER they are a very competent band and I am liking them the more I play them. Their music is still a genre that a lot of people just don't like and that has to be accepted. There are many rock albums that deserve so much more credit but because of their genre they never will. That písses me off, but it's the way of the world.
