| The Ocean ranked.
brings the crushing stuff | | 9 |  | The Ocean
Collective Oblivion
not ranked: As some of you might know, i'm a huge fan of dvd box-sets and this has to be one of the greatest i've seen so far. I mean literally, it has about ten hours of video material and not the boring kind (mostly). Watched it in one sitting and really felt a connection and learned something about their lives and about touring in general. | | 8 |  | The Ocean
Islands/Tides
don't bother with this unless you're a hardcore fan of the ocean. their demo has some good moments but they are scattered far between long minutes of boringness.
Best Tracks: Probably 'Islands II' | | 7 |  | The Ocean
Heliocentric
With three pretty boring and mellow songs on it, i can understand why some people dont like this album. I however dig it as it's diverse and still brings the riffs on some songs.
Best Tracks: Firmament, Metaphysics of the Hangman, The Origin of Species | | 6 |  | The Ocean
Aeolian
Probably their most one-dimensional record. this whole record is somewhat similiar to the first half of precambrian. the city in the sea's intro makes me bang my head every time i hear it.
Best Tracks: The City in The Sea (!), One with the Ocean, Swoon | | 5 |  | The Ocean
Fogdiver
An purely instrumental album that has to be experienced. This could be considered post metal since it builds up lush landscapes only to crush them after a few minutes. Huge improvement over their initial demo.
Best Tracks: Isla de la Luna, The Long Road to Nha Trang | | 4 |  | The Ocean
Anthropocentric
another rifffest with some of their most catchiest tunes like roots & locusts or she was the universe.
Best Tracks: The t/t, She Was The Universe, Roots & Locusts, Sewers of the Soul | | 3 |  | The Ocean
Fluxion
their first full lengh also is one of their most lush and diverse records to date.
Best Tracks: The Human Stain, Fluxion, Equinox, Death on the Whole, The Greatest Bane | | 2 |  | The Ocean
Pelagial
a decent into heaviness and a stunning concept release. this was my entry point to their discography.
Best Tracks: the whole experience, Into The Uncanny, Signals of Anxiety, Let Them Believe, Cognitive Dissonance | | 1 |  | The Ocean
Precambrian
undoubtably their best effort and a pillar in modern metal. first half is crushing as the forming of the earth while the second half is beautiful progressive metal at its finest.
Best tracks: the whole double album, Mesoarchaean, The whole second half...seriously! | |
Flugmorph
05.07.15 | my favourite german/swiss band. | Relinquished
05.07.15 | yea Mesoarchean is cool, the vocalist on it was always good
aeolian > fluxion | Flugmorph
05.07.15 | aeolian is by far their most brutal/heavy. probably needs the most listens to get used to.
queen of the food-chain m/ | titanslayer
05.08.15 | Wasn't a big fan of Precambrian
| alwaysright
05.08.15 | Tool is better | chinesewhispers
05.08.15 | I'll give you a comment Fluggy ol' pal | Flugmorph
05.08.15 | awwww nice of you. My hunger is gone | Sevengill
05.08.15 | nailed it. I prefer Fluxion to Precam but the top three are all so good it's not worth squabbling over which goes where. | Flugmorph
05.08.15 | Didn't knew you dig this band seven. Gr8 to see | porcupinetheater
05.08.15 | I was going to disagree about Heliocentric at 7, I like that record more than most people seem to, but then out of 1-6, what could feasibly be ranked lower? | Flugmorph
05.08.15 | If you had read my write ups you would know that I like heliocentric | Royl123
05.08.15 | Never heard of this band. Not really into post metal like alwaysright is.... | Sevengill
05.08.15 | Collective Oblivion is just stupendous. The live cembalo is the coolest thing ever, haha. "We will only play if we can play metal on your priceless antique instruments!" | Flugmorph
05.08.15 | The concert in the instrument museum was such a brilliant thing. I know this museum pretty well so it was extra special for me to see them play some songs there | porcupinetheater
05.08.15 | Oh yeah, Dude, wasn't contesting your reasoning, just saying that was my knee jerk before I read the description | Flugmorph
11.08.18 | looks like this list is in bad need of a remake heh | MarsKid
11.08.18 | Git on it birby | Flugmorph
10.09.20 | remake 2.0 when | Pikazilla
10.09.20 | Sequel guaranteed to be worse than the original | Flugmorph
10.09.20 | expecting anything else would be groundless optimism at this point | Tundra
