“The Stolen Singles”
(Three.One.G)

As in the final throes of so many great groups, AOR has uttered that phrases that says so much and so little: “irreconcilable differences.” As a final chapter in their discography, “The Stolen Singles” pulls together early 7″ and demo recordings from the across the band’s seven-year life. Very ambitiously, the group sought to change the face of music. Though they did not do this, they did end up with a passionate indie art-rock group with an insistent, emergent sound of high-pitched rhythm guitar, grumbling bass and precise drumming set on andante automatic.
