AND Absence. They constantly rival each other for me, but they're stunning albums.

Panopticon is still lesser album for me... I have no idea why. Agree a lot with Artuma+++

This album is more raw, and it doesn't feature the (somewhat weak) clean vocals that appear a lot in Panopticon.

Panopticon has a rawer, in your face kind sound to me and this is more atmospheric and larger in scope to me. Idk I guess it's all about what we here.

listening to the opening of Backlit or In Fiction vs. the opening of False Light or From Sinking and that sort of sums up my feelings on the albums. it's cherry picking but I think it's a good representation, haha.

The distortion is harsher and rougher on that album I've always thought. Yet the ones on here hit much harder to me. We could talk about comparing them all day I suppose though.

I love Aaron's brutal vocals on their early releases, they pulled off heaviness so well. This is a perfect balance of that and what panopticon started. They started to go soft on panopticon, though I agree with you mongi about the tones sounding rougher.

I remember reading Matt Bayles (producer) explain how the snare tones were recorded very differently for both records,with oceanic intended to be more atmospheric and dissonant and panopticons to be more abrasive and in your face, with absence of truth falling somewhere in the middle. The guitar tones were intended to follow a similar progression but I still feel that Oceanic is the heavier album... and the better album. It has the more interesting song structures and less (i hate to use the word) generic buildups and climaxes. They are both 5 star albums though.

Idc that the build ups are standard they're still fucking amazing. Like Syndic Calls is fairly standard, but in the most mature and engrossing sense of the word.

Panopticon is better for songwriting I think, more cohesive and some of the build ups like in In Fiction and and the end of So Did We are absolutely incredible if you pay attention to all the subtle details (which the remaster helps so much with)
