smailtronic Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 sounds nice but ive heard this album isnt very good. yet to listen to it for myself though. They've got a couple of the songs up on their myspace. I don't think it sounds bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
initrecords Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 i've loved everything this band has done but the drastic vocal style change on this new album is something i cannot get into at all. i am glad i bought the cd and listened to it before ordering the LP boxset thing (I almost ordered vinyl first).

monk0nuggets Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 oh shit! I didn't even realize these guys had a new record! I'll have to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 i wonder if this is another example of the art & packaging way surpassing the actual musical content. have listened to these new songs and found my mind wandering off quite a lot during their playback. finding the vocal, whatever delivery the singer is doing, to be very unremarkable. the music isn't hugely challenging either. i have the fluxion CD and whilst i am in the midst of trading it away, it is quite a decent record. the packaging however, is un-fucking-believable, as with most The Ocean releases.

monk0nuggets Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'm actually digging this. It's not all amazing, but there are a lot of sparkling moments thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Does anyone know if any US distros are getting the new record on vinyl? It's coming out next week. It looks awesome and i really dig the songs, but i can't justify spending ~$40 for one double LP this isn't out of print and i don't want the whole box set.

silentgods Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Well, looks like i just found a Christmas present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernfailure Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I just listened to Anthropocentric all the way through today... not impressed. On these two records, each has a handful of decent tracks, but the albums on a whole aren't very good. Also, seems kind of weird/lame that they're selling a box set for which you have to buy one of the albums later and put it in the box.

Echo020 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Reissues of both albums are up for pre-order. No box set this time, just individual gatefolds. There's also a t-shirt bundle, but most sizes are already sold out.
