The Ocean Collective Ranked
one of the best prog bands around.
including EPs, no splits or demos. |
| 9 |  | The Ocean
The Grand Inquisitor
nothing particularly bad about this, but we've heard the band flesh this sound a lot out more on their full lengths. |
| 8 |  | The Ocean
Heliocentric
probably the worst vocals of any ocean record (not saying they're terrible). instrumentally, this album seemed to go in a slightly more simplistic direction, which is simply a wrong move for a band of this caliber. |
| 7 |  | The Ocean
Aeolian
nothing too special here. just more insanely complex and heavy prog-sludge. |
| 6 |  | The Ocean
Fogdiver
brilliant instrumental record that put this band on the map. With some fine turnings here and there, this band only got better after their first record. |
| 5 |  | The Ocean
Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic
one of the best metal releases of this year. nothing new for the band but it still is quite creative in composition with plenty of softer moments that actually add to the atmosphere. |
| 4 |  | The Ocean
Anthropocentric
amazing blend of their devastatingly heavy sound and orchestral side as well. |
| 3 |  | The Ocean
Fluxion
one of the heaviest and most raw prog albums ever made. |
| 2 |  | The Ocean
Pelagial
this could easily be 1. this album is pure bliss. If anything was holding the collective back before this album, whatever that was was killed off. Easily the peak of their innovation in just how inventive metal can truly be. |
| 1 |  | The Ocean
Precambrian
combines the devastatingly heavy sound of Fluxion with a more mature sense of creativity in song structure into a near flawless record. |
