Details: Product Description Arriving on the heels of last year's Rockcrown comes the exciting new album from Orlando, Florida's favorite sons. Orange Ave. Finds the quartet creating a more layered and adventurous sonic approach, blending the full-on rock of '95's platinum Atlantic/Mammoth debut, American Standard, with the introspective, acoustic balladry of Rockcrown. Tracks include "Flagship Eleanor," "Over Your Shoulder," "In-Between" and more, including the hidden cut "Talk to You Like That." Amazon.ca Sheesh! For a while there, it sounded like every Podunk guitarist half-wit and his tractor-driving brother were intent on aping Seattle sludgemeisters Pearl Jam. Even the English were nicking PJ licks (try as we might, can we truly forget Bush?). Orlando, Florida's Seven Mary Three--guilty as Vedder-voiced charged--seem to have gotten the cease-and-desist message. Their third outing finds frontman Jason Ross skewing off on several nongrunge tangents. Even his singing has grown more emotive and enunciated, moving away from the mawkish Vedder-ish murmur found on the early hit "Cumbersome." Tellingly, every time the grunge ghost surfaces here ("Peel," "Hang On"), the song sinks out of sight. But each time Ross and company test their aesthetic limits (the soulful "Chasing You," the Skynyrd-styled "Joliet," the alterna-peppy "Super-Related"), SM3's stock spirals up, up, up. Which clarifies the whole point of influences anyway: you're supposed to glean what you can from them and move on. Seven Mary Three seem to have learned that lesson. --Tom Lanham
