Orange Ave. is the fourth studio album by American post-grunge band Seven Mary Three. It was released on July 14, 1998, on Atlantic Records. The album peaked at #121 on the Billboard 200.[5] The album is named after a street running through downtown Orlando, Florida, the band's hometown.[6]
The album's only Billboard-charting single was "Over Your Shoulder" (#7 on Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and #16 on Hot Modern Rock Tracks).[citation needed] "Each Little Mystery" was also released as a single, but did not chart.
The A.V. Club wrote that "though Seven Mary Three still won't be mistaken for a creative dynamo—its diversity generally means there's a wider variety of forgettable rock songs from which to choose on Orange Ave.—it's certainly not so difficult to endure, sort of like the work of an accomplished but underwhelming bar band."[7] The Sun Sentinel wrote that "by forgetting trends and focusing on their own experience, Seven Mary Three has made Orange Ave. a dark horse contender for the year's best rock album."[8]
