"The whole ambient atmosphere given off by the instrumental side and then Kieth's and James' vocals makes this album almost surreal.

The Tide and Mindless: Mindless are my two favorite songs of all time (:"

I think this is a pretty crappy album, I mean, I never really took the time to listen to it, but from what I heard it just sounds like a generic release. Birth Eater is fucking amazing, and the new direction they took with Clean Head is awesome too. I just really can't dig this album though

Does no one miss the instrumentals at all? They alone on this album were good enough to make it a 3.5

at least. Reach for the Sky is freakin amazing. I love that ending. Birth Eater isn't bad, but just

put all the songs in a bag, shake em up, draw one out, and you have no idea which song is it because

they all sound the same.

THE TIDE HAS COME TO TAKE US ALL!



Listening to "The Tide" this morning

Album Rating: 2.0

i'd like this better if the production wasn't as bad

Album Rating: 4.5

I've been listening to Oceana ever since I discovered them in 2010. The first song I heard by them was Hello Astronaut, and I got instantly hooked. I do enjoy Keith's vocals on this album even though at some parts they can be a little bit too rough. I'm not a big fan of clean vocals in post hardcore, but I can handle some parts of clean vocals on this album. The guitar work on this album to me is pretty good. I learned how to play the songs by ear. I love the effects they use, it adds a very atmospheric, spacey, yet dark feel to it. The guitar tone is rad as fuck. I do feel like the bass is a small part of the album. But when it has its parts, It stands out. It's pretty cool. The drums on this album are fucking amazing. Coming from a drummer, I enjoy the drum parts very much. They have a very solid vibe, and I like that. My favorites off the album are The Accountable, The Portrait, The Tide, Hello Astronaut, and We Are The Messengers.

I didn't like Birth.Eater though. -_-. Only interesting songs from that album were "The Family Disease" and "In Birth", IMO. The

instrumentals were sucky in comparison to this. I gave Birth.Eater a 2, and I felt that was being generous just because I like

Oceana and I tried my hardest to like Birth.Eater. I really did



As for this new direction they're moving, I just don't know how to feel. It's very different. I liked it on the little Clean Head - EP.

But One Big Particular Loop is weird.

I got back on a kick of this album and damn. It's amazing. Bumping to a 4.5. I know I'll be ridiculed but this album is the shit. Hate it all you want but those instrumentals are just glorious.

Album Rating: 2.5

Birth Eater is a tad overrated

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Just a tad? It's EXTREMELY overrated. This is best Oceana will and ever do since they moved to Polyenso and created boring indie shit that's been done a trillion times before.

Album Rating: 2.5

Been done a million times before? Sure. Boring indie shit? Hell no

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

One Big Particular Loop isn't "bad" but its not the oceana that I know and love that created this album.

Album Rating: 1.5

I went into this with high hopes but it was kinda boring.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Still very underrated. 5 worthy? Maybe not. But lots of memories associated with this album. However many albums in this

genre with a similar sound seem to be praised but this one is left in the dirt. Kinda sad :/



Still 4.2-4.3 from my views.



Album is every bit as intriguing as As If Everything Was Held in Place by Of Machines (which is praised on here)

Album Rating: 5.0

"And I'll do what i can, to be the man you hoped that I would be"





This is, without a doubt, a classic record when it comes to Post-Hardcore.

Intro to Hello Astronaut will randomly pop into my head from time to time and I love it lol.

Album Rating: 3.5

fuck yeah saw these dudes live forever ago in a tiny warehouse in GA and that song went especially hard live

Album Rating: 4.0

Hell yeah dude. I wish this lineup stuck together for more than one album. Keith always had that rawness to his vocals that I liked a lot.

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah when i saw em Brennan was the vocalist but I thought he was a nice replacement
