Commemorative is my least fave....but The Charm Offensive rules face. Also, I do ADORE Catalyst, One Day..., You Wish and Massive Bereavement, so we're not entirely at odds. What do you like best from Self-Preserved?

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah from what I gather their drummer Mark had a recurring issue with drugs or alcohol. Apparently Gambler got sick of it and quit the band following that concert in Warsaw.

Album Rating: 3.5

I completely forgot about Self Preserved. I've never really listened to it, because I thought it would be all like the Oceansize I wasn't a massive fan of. The whole of Music For Nurses is pretty solid though

That's a pity; a nasty way to end

I'd give it a go; it's very different to the others and you might enjoy it. I've never listened to Music For Nurses, but mean to soon

i always have hopes bands that break up will get back together... i just feel like if you made this awesome music why not revisit it one day and maybe play some shows like the old days?

As a drummer, there is a lot more to drumming than technical ability. Mark not only has a very unique voice on drums, but he contributed a lot to the writing.

Album Rating: 3.5

he sung too? :D

Album Rating: 5.0

Haha no but he came up with a lot of Oceansize's off-kilter beats and time changes.

...without which Oceansize wouldn't be Oceansize
There is a bar halfway through Unfamiliar that completely evades my attempts to count
