| The
proverbial release, for serious fans only. Interestingly, though, except
for one or two songs, all of the tunes here are acoustic. Nice, mellow music for a warm summer's night. |

| OCS
almost fumbled on this one. Some great individual songs here, but overall
it's an album that borders on pretentiousness. Luckily they caught themselves in time for their next release. |

| This
is more like it. Well-crafted pop tunes with a rock edge and an added twist
of thoughtfulness that so many other releases lack. Glad to see OCS back to form. |

| This
one started off strong, but then kind of petered out. Die hard OCS
fans will probably disagree, but oh well . . . it's my site, I'll say what I want! Nothing against this record, it's just that nothing about it stands out for me. With that, I still like it - I just don't love it. |

| Again,
nothing new for me here. I like the songs, and I'll always get OCS
discs. Nothing will ever be able to recapture the magic that Moseley Shoals is, though. And I'm not comparing their subsequent recording to that stellar album either, it's just that while I rather enjoy their music, I can't really discern one album form the next. |

| To
go against the grain of some die hard OCS fans again, I really like
this record! I've read that some feel like they just phoned it in, but I disagree. The cover of George Harrison's 'Wah Wah' sheds no new light on the song, but it is a good, faithful cover. And I think I finally realise why I like OCS so much. In the 60s, The Who and the Small Faces were THE mod groups; in the 70s, it was The Jam; the 80s it was The Truth and The Style Council. In the 90s, OCS took the mantle and ran with it. Thanks to them, the spirit lives on. We are the Mods, we are the Mods, we are, we are, we are the Mods . . . |

| Usually
when a band goes through a lineup change and replaces one member with two
new ones, it doesn't bode well for the group. The creativity is gone, the spark is dead. Not this time! OCS have come up with their best album in years! Great to have them back, even if only three of the original members are still around. |
