Music reviews of Live From Madison Square Garden
Music Review: Compared to 34th and 8th and Any Time Now, Live From Madison Square Garden is Nothing Special
Rating: 2 Stars
After being a fan of O.A.R. for the past four years, their latest release is a big disapointment. I attended the concert with three friends and was fairly unimpressed after the concert. It had been my 8th time seeing the band in a little under four years. I had high hopes for the Cd but was severely depressed upon hearing the first song.
Growing to love O.A.R. over the past four years enlightened me to love their live shows/ cds much more than their bad quality studio albums. Live From Madison Square Garden, in this respect, is good because it shows the band in its live atmosphere. However, compared to the band's previous two live releases Any Time Now and 34th and 8th, the Cd flat out stinks. The best examples are the older songs such as Hey Girl, About Mr. Brown, That was a Crazy Game of Poker, and City on Down. The new release has possibly the worst versions of these particular songs. The improvisation within each song sound forced and are amateurish, and it seems like the band just tried too hard to make this release a good one. The difference of quality between the older cds is vast. 34th and 8th's "Crazy Game of Poker" is remarkable and possibly the best performance of the band on any one of their cds. Other songs on 34th and 8th and Any Time Now follow suit, i cannot think of a single song that is better at the Garden. Live At Madison Square tries to pack the same energy as the previous releases but sounds too generic in the process. The tone of the instruments, the guitar/ sax solos, freestyles, and even the set list are incredibly weak and do not satisfy the inner O.A.R. Fan that i have become.
On the upside, O.A.R. packs the release with a few new (and actually good) songs. Living in the End and Something Coming Over are good tunes. "Living" is a good pearl jam inspired song, and "SCO" is a cute diddy that everyone can enjoy.
Unfortunately, the Cd still does not come close to previous releases. Instead of buying Live from Madison Square Garden, buy 34th and 8th . . . it comes with an hour long dvd and two discs worth of music for the same price range and is a heck of a lot better. Any Time Now is just as good and I strongly recommened buying both. Unless you're a young O.A.R. fan i do not see a need to purchase this cd. If you loved Stories of a Stranger you probably would like this Cd, but if you hated it or thought it was nothing special, go with 34th and 8th.
