Good Heartfealt Hard Rock To me, their best work by far is the "Unwind" album. This is another work of art by Oleander. The song "Jimmy Shakur Day" here is from that "Unwind" record. This band is not heavy metal and neither is this cd. Considering that, this is not light rock or pop either. It is more comparable in style to bands like Candlebox, Collective Soul, and Black Lab. If you like this, check out Black Lab's "Your Body Above Me".

If you ever get a chance by this CD, its awesome!. This CD is another masterpiece by Oleander.
great band and a great bunch of guys
If it ever becomes availible again, BUY IT. I have had this CD since I picked it up at one of thier shows when they were still back home in sacto. You will not regret it a bit. If not, BUY FEBRUARY SON. They a not only the best new band of the year, they are the nicest bunch of guys I have ever met. Check them out on thier tour and tell Ric "Kyle says hi"!!!.
Fantastic - What a groove!
I bought it after hearing a 30 second clip here at Amazon, and am truly impressed! Not one of those CD's that litter my house as coasters, cuz I only liked one song. It arrived yesterday (couldn't find it in Canada - glad I ordered it!), and I am blown away. . . This one is a keeper for sure! All the tracks have a cool groove, and you especially gotta love "Boys Don't Cry" and "Why I'm Here". Good job!.
One of the better albums this year!
Exceleent musical choice considering today's selection of over glamorized rapping metal bands and overdubbed hip-hop. Reminiscent of Nirvana "B"-sides with a flare of HUM.
