will go down as one of the best of this decade. i have such a personal attachment to this record that my heart strings are on fire just playing "Oscar Acceptance Speech" over in my head. Such brilliant pain here.

A very raw sound and a pronounced focus on brevity gives the album a distinct atmosphere/attitude that transcends the individual songs. Oceansize's best work to date.

Oceansize has perfected the art of reinventing themselves in subtle ways. Each album has it's own unique signature, and 'Self Preserved' is no exception. While it may take more than a single listen to grow on certain listeners, it certainly has at least a few tracks that are instant classics. After my third listen, I was convinced that this album is just as amazing as their previous work, if not more so

By far their weakest album imo, yet still flipping good. Rare you can say that about a band.
Favourite Track: Part Cardiac
Other Highlights: Build Us A Rocket Then, Oscar Acceptance Speech, Pine

Arguably their weakest and heaviest, but still keeping that sweet Oceansize sound. Oh boy this band slaps so hard.

One of the most creative rock albums from the 2010s that I've heard. No bells or whistles needed. You can't slap the 'post-rock' tag on this one, this time around. While they still use post-rock elements, they're putting a focus on doing their own thing and making up their own songs.

Now veterans of progressive rock, Oceansize has time and time again, delivered innovative and passionate records to the admiration of their fans. Self Preserved While the Bodies Float Up is no different in this regard; a technical and well-executed album that ranks among the year's best.

Fails to match the intensity and creativity of Frames. I think Oceansize will always be a so-close-but-not-yet-there kind of band.

This amazed me, what a really talented band. Some of the best progressive songs i've ever heard right here.

Remember all that shit that made Oceansize inaccessible? Yeah neither do I but apparently it existed. Well yeah this is basically 'size without that. Also it's heavy as fuck. And beautiful. and agh. fuck i love this band man i dont even

Shorter songs and a darker, heavier sound actually work in "Self Preserved While the Bodies Float Up"'s favor. Still has that oh-so-delicious Oceansize sound, whilst also being able to do something new.

On listen number 4 and I'm still being blown away. As it stands I'm thinking this might be better than Frames. Favourite tracks so far are Build Us a Rocket Then, Oscar Acceptance Speech (wow) and It's My Tail.
