The Ocean - Anthropocentric Ranked
My take. |
| 10 | The Ocean
For He That Waverth...
Nothing more than an introduction to Roots & Locusts. |
| 9 | The Grand Inquisitor III: A Tiny Grain of Faith
I reeeeeaaallly love this as an interlude. I wish they had extended it into a full
length track however, it would probably be one of my favorites on the album
then. But seeing as its less than 2 minutes long I can't really bring myself to
rank it any higher. |
| 8 | The Grand Inquisitor I: Karamazov Baseness
This is the least memorable song for me, and the only one where I don't
remember any particular part from. It's solid but it's just kind of, there as a
placeholder between two of the album's better tracks. |
| 7 | The Almightiness Contradiction
It's a pretty song. The denouement would have been a lot better if the lyrics
weren't so inconclusive and lazy though. |
| 6 | Sewers of the Soul
Harkens back to the intensity found on Aeolian. |
| 5 | Anthropocentric
I'm not really a big fan of the way this starts the album, but it picks up from
there and would have fit in nicely with the second disc of Precambrian. The
lyrics are admittedly lame and the clean section drags too long but overall a very
good track. |
| 4 | Wille Zum Untergang
This is the most difficult track for me to rank among the others. I feel like the
climax should have lasted longer than it does, after five minutes of buildup a
short 15-second burst of energy is a bit of a letdown. But what's there is
absolutely gorgeous. I just feel like it could have been more. |
| 3 | She Was the Universe
Really dig the down-tuned riffs on this one and the Deftones-esque chorus. This
was a breath of fresh air as the first song released from the album. |
| 2 | Heaven TV
The chorus is just. Fucking addictive. |
| 1 | The Grand Inquisitor II: Roots & Locusts
This is an excellent full-band effort. At 6:34 the song feels complete without
dragging (like the title track). |
