Any Time Now (O.A.R. album)
Any Time Now is the seventh studio album by the American rock band O.A.R. (Of A Revolution), released on August 6, 2013. The album was produced by multiple producers, including Matt Wallace, Nathan Chapman, and Gregg Wattenberg. Any Time Now marks a departure from O.A.R.'s previously more reggae and jam band-influenced sound, incorporating more elements of pop and country into its overall sonic landscape. The album's lead single, "Peace," was released prior to the album's release and received significant radio airplay.
The album features 12 tracks, exploring themes of love, life's journey, and the passage of time, common topics in O.A.R.'s discography. Any Time Now reached number 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking O.A.R.'s highest charting album since All Sides in 2008. The album also charted in other countries, including Canada. While commercially successful, Any Time Now received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its polished production and catchy melodies, while others criticized its perceived shift towards a more mainstream sound, arguing it diluted the band's signature style. Despite the mixed critical reception, the album remains a significant part of O.A.R.'s catalog and is considered a fan favorite by many.
