Yeah, that'll do.

fair enough. I almost feel like I just expect the reception to be the reverse in hindsight: Oceanic has all that conceptual lining, their more unique (maybe) (and to me iconic) songs like "weight," is so nicely structured, etc.



this is all subjective but for some reason I just figured Oceanic would be the True Masterpiece for some of those reasons and others but I guess Panopticon has a specific appeal. I can kinda get the idea that it's more purely dedicated to really well-thought-out sonics and structures on the level of individual songs. less "oppressive" thematically and sorta nicer sounding too maybe

I think they're both on the same level, tbh.

oceanic is incredible but its also sludgier than this



and in being sludgier than this its almost by definition less unique



i like music where the guitars do weird things, and this is more densely packed with that on the hard hitters

yeah some pseuds were pushing it hard on this website a few years ago

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah that kinda makes sense. this one has the more splashless integration of post-rock and metal stuff maybe?

That's why I enjoy ITAOT the most, it's their most proggy effort and feels very unique.

I used to an Oceanic guy, mostly because of how raw and heavy it is but this is just as good on its own right. I think we can finally say blue equals green
