True.
So what's your guys favorite B-side by the band?
Personally I think it's Paper Champion, though I'm amazed at how amazing the B-sides are.  :hat

3. One Out Of nONE
4. Breed Siamese
5. The Strand
Drowned in Sound

I've never heard any of those, so  ::)

We should discuss how good Only Twin is now. It's just an awesome song. Creepy, but awesome.

Only Twin is pretty awesome, strangely enough it took the longest to click for me. (on Frames that is)

Agreed.  I  :facepalm: d hard to see Only Twin at the bottom of Zantera's list. 


Anyway, It's My Tail and I'll Chase it if I want To is awesome, is it not?  I haven't ever really heard a rock song that sounds much like it at s;;.

It's My Tail and I'll Chase it if I Want To is brilliant, though well... so is everything by Oceansize.  :biggrin:
Only Twin deserves to be higher on my list, but whatever song I put last I would get upset about it.
Then it's either Unfamiliar or An Old Friend of the Christy's last, and both are amazing.  :'(

Massive Bereavement deserves some credit, I love that song.
Probably my favorite from Effloresce, because of many reasons.
1. The intro has a great groove, and a very cool build-up.
2. The "What a way to go, I'm still running for that bus that we missed years ago"-line
3. The heavy-main riff followed by the chorus
4. The outro, with that climax  :metal

Appreciate!

Bump.
Listening to some Oceansize right now, and I'm still very sad that they broke up. :(
Still, wished more people on dtf, and other places would listen to them.

Actually having a 'marathon' now during Easter, I listened to Effloresce last night, planning to listen to Everyone Into Position tonight, Frames tomorrow and Self Preserved on Saturday.  :hat

Frames is freaking great. So is Music For Nurses. That's all I have so far! Going to get Effloresce very soon :caffeine:
on par with the anguish one would have from getting unconsensually bent over and buttloved.

I have the physical copy in my bookshelf, I also have it on my computer obviously.
One of my best purchases ever, if not THE best.  :tup

That boxset is probably my most precious musical possession along with some of the signed stuff I have.
Can't believe it was that weekend or I would have been there  :sad:

I got pretty much all the standard stuff with the band, got the four studio-albums (the normal editions), Home & Minor EP and then the box-set.
Really want more rare stuff, but gotta go through the net then I guess.

some of the vinyl is pretty lovely as well, rare but lovely.

The thing about Oceansize is that I can't imagine ever not loving them to bits. I hope I always feel like that.

I'm kinda the same, and it's the reason why they are my favorite band. :P
They are one of the few bands where I can honestly say that all songs & albums are amazing, even with bands like PT there are stuff I like less then the rest.
With Oceansize it's pretty much all = godlike.

Ryan and Zantera will tell you that, but make sure you get Effloresce too. 

That one's my favorite.

Well, Frames is my personal favorite.
But Effloresce, Everyone Into Position and Self Preserved are just as mindblowing, and ranking the discography is hard, pretty much changes every day. :P

I've only head "Frames" a couple of times, but i quite like it, and it feels like it will continue to grow on me. I also heard a song of "Effloresce" which sounded really cool. This band might with time become a favorite, who knows.

Get Everyone into Position. Personally I think it's better than Effloresce; it has some mindblowing songs on it.
