I thought the concept behind Pelagial was quite stronger.

I've probably spun this forty times since I got the promo. Immense replay value.

"I thought the concept behind Pelagial was quite stronger. "

Also lyrics overall were a little bit stronger on Pelagial, I'd say. However as per Precambrian, the concept behind is a little bit more 'subtle' and mixed in with mere narrative (i.e. what's going on during the era described)
I like this bit from a review the ocean were spamming as ad:
The album features a line in the closing track: "I don’t love humanity, not a bit.” This is perhaps the key line in exploring the sense of bitterness that suffuses the record; it’s less an open appeal to embracing a nihilistic outlook on looming apocalypse and more a cathartic expunging of those toxic senses of rage, powerlessness, and universalized scorn in the face of planetary trauma that we sometimes (rightly) repress. It’s a theatrical statement, but art is theater, and dramatization is useful for naming and expunging things within ourselves we sometimes turn a blind eye to, without realizing that this often merely lets them moulder in our guts. Palaeozoic is a powerful statement in the face of this trying hour for our planet, one that’s unafraid to acknowledge the vast galactic grief at the thought that maybe we won’t make it out of this one, and it’s both not really anyone’s fault, somewhat everyone’s fault, and specifically the fault of a specific few. It is this emotional sincerity which guides the performances and songs, not the conceit; The Ocean use these elements to find some tangible hook to make manifest these great terrors we feel."

no that seems unlikely
Agreed about the music, Precambrian is brutal.

It takes a special kind of band to produce album after album of high quality material, maybe these guys just aren’t quite special enough & Precam will remain their pinnacle.

And the band is one of those special bands. Quality every release.

I just don’t think there’s currently many artists like that, or at least I haven’t found them yet. I’ve discovered so many where one or two releases really click with me & the rest are ‘take it or leave it’
