ahaha I agree with the most part, although in order for the Dinosaur to be a junkie, the sound should get much "sludgier".

"Lyrics on this are awful but still the album is absolute quality."

honestly I hardly pay attention to the lyrics on any The Ocean release, but the emotion through the vocals are quite resonant, that's why I like loic, not for his lyrics

They have prehistoric stuff and some more personal stuff going on at the same time. I wouldn't call the prehistoric part a metaphor or anything, but there is more going on, yea

Well they are lyrics written by a 2nd language speaker, that's for sure, but I wouldn't call them "shit". Like the ending of Jurassic yeah it's in your fucking nose blatant but damn if it's not good pre-breakdown shit lol



Anyway Triassic is also a really nice song, while Palaeocene imho is the worst song of the two discs, but it's also just 4 minutes and the ending is nice.



I'm at 3.5 now, hopefully I'll appreciate it more with time

I have dioramas I made in elementary school of each of the Phanerozoic periods. I still stress a little over having included ammonites in the Silurian.

I was always too dumb to know how to even use a pair of scissors, let alone make a diorama.

yup the lyrics are hardly a vital part in their music, like with most metal bands



i don't really vibe with loïc's "emotion" or whatever in his vocals though, he's a pretty good singer but that's about it. the sound is absolutely huge though and that's what makes the themes fit

you guys checked that this verse is present both on the opener and the closer?







You feel so disconnected, and yes, I get it

But there is just no point in further confrontation

Dysfunctional communication skills



You undermine our mutual

Resolution strategy

With your condescending patronising

Habitus of false modesty
