Album Rating: 4.0

i saw this band in 2011 supporting btbam

these last two have been awesome too

Album Rating: 4.0

They've become a lot better than BTBAM since then as well

Album Rating: 4.5

I'm enjoying this a lot more after some relistens.

I really dig the band's use of balanced clean/harsh vocal melodies on here and pt. 1, as well as on Pelagial too (holy fuck, that album). Recently discovered Sunpocrisy's Eyegasm, Hallelujah, which I could see people digging if they have enjoyed the same in recent The Ocean work. Fucking overlooked, killer album.

Both phanerozoics are much better than pelagial but yeah

"Both phanerozoics are much better than pelagial but yeah"



agreed

similar level but pelagial has the edge for me in terms of being the first album of theirs i got into and the nostalgia that comes with it.

its already been 7 years huh, thats crazy.

During Jurassic / Cretaceous these guys are absolutely drawing parallels between dinosaurs and humans being the dominant species of their respective time periods - how both were/are completely untouchable yet ultimately (in the dinos case) deceptively fragile. How we as humans could succumb to a similar catastrophic event. A warning of sorts.

Apologies if this has been discussed before and/or is nausea inducing, absurdly obvious stuff, but there were a few jokes earlier about the lyrics being more akin to 'I'm a big dinosaur' - well that can't be the case, right?

Pelagial has the best concept behind any Ocean disc, and the artwork is probably the coolest of all the cool stuff the Ocean have done



Also best instrumental disc of the band, hands down, the atmospherics are lush.

But I can also state that Jurassic / Cretaceous is arguably the best song of their entire discography and this should probably warrant this a 4.0 based on those absolute fucking crazy 13 minutes



Is a song that keeps on giving, as the Great Dying was, but this last longer and it just keeps giving the end hioooly shit yes I'm typing this while Seidel fuxking wrecks me with those double bass patterns ok bye gotta go smoke something and play this on loop, I'll pretend is not monday

yeah demon its a very obvious metaphor. there is a big difference between humans and the dinos though.

they died because of the outside influence of a natural catastrophy aswell as being huge, specialized biological machines which could not survive after the apocalypse.

on the other hand, climate change is of human design, perhaps just a few of them are actually responsible and the rest is led to slaughter like the dinosaurs before them, but it is the fault of their species and they are still able to prevent it.



as a bird, i just feel sad for my ancestors now.

Yeah I know man, well that's where the 'warning' comes from. I didn't exactly make that clear though (admittedly). We are contributing to our own demise, it's probably just a matter of time - but we're selfish and we'll all be long gone by then anyway, so who cares about future generations or the planet when there's money to be made instead?

'But I can also state that Jurassic / Cretaceous is arguably the best song of their entire discography'

Certainly not an unreasonable take, I haven't heard a couple of their albums mind.

jurassic / cretaceous is a good track for sure but i'd never call it the best of their entire discography. its too repetitive for its lengh for that to be the case for me personally, it has like 3-5 sections which it throws at you again and again and multiple climaxes that kinda exaust themselves a little bit by repetition.

''on the other hand, climate change is of human design"

cliimate change is not in itself of human design, you can only argue that it has been exacerbated to a certain extent by humans

„to a certain extend“ yea...

I think the most important thing that this thread has gaveth us is that flug identifies as a bird and feels for its ancestors demise as depicted in P:1
