Oceanic is very much a classic




Agree. I still think this is as well.

wow. that was pretty immense. I'll see if it's even possible to listen to it in detail, I just sort of let it roll first time round.



it's metal and I like it, so it worked!

Approach this expecting post-rock and you shouldn't be bored. It took me a couple tries, but I think this is excellent.

the (kinda) dissonant guitar line at the beginning of wills dissolve is awesome.

Very good album. One major flaw is the monotonous drumming. The drummer has no imagination. An album in the same musical vein, Precambrian, destroys this.

Nothing this band released was ever going to beat Oceanic. This comes the closest, though. The only real problem with this for me is that Aaron Turner's vocals just aren't as compelling on this record as they were on Oceanic. He should have stuck to growling rather than focusing on clean vocals. Also, Altered Course is

pretty boring and overlong. It's sort of like Weight, except Weight actually sounded like it was going to go somewhere.

can't really articulate why, but i've always liked this better than oceanic. friend of mine prefers

wavering radiant, but that kid's ear pussies just haven't loosened up to the heavier stuff yet.

This is funny, album is great, but it's all So Did We, Backlit and Altered Course that carries it. The rest of the songs really don't make a dent for me at all. But damn, those three are good.
