I really have a thing for It's My Tail and I'll Chase it if I want To, actually. I mean, I love the energy and liveliness behind it (especially since I felt that is exactly what some of the Self Preserved tracks were lacking) and the whole thing really just rocks. It's got almost a punkish vibe to it.

Zantera · « **Reply #491 on:** May 31, 2011, 07:54:16 PM »

Yeah, it's really a killer-track.
I also think it works really awesome after Silent/Transparent.

faemir · « **Reply #492 on:** June 05, 2011, 11:35:00 AM »

Self-Preserved arrived, listening to it with my new audiophile headphones for my first (Attentive) listen.

On Silent/Transparent at the moment, it's really awesome!

Zantera · « **Reply #493 on:** June 05, 2011, 11:40:36 AM »

Sounds great!

faemir · « **Reply #494 on:** June 05, 2011, 11:42:36 AM »

I want to know what the album cover is.

And the album was only signed by 3 of them

Zantera · « **Reply #495 on:** June 05, 2011, 11:47:42 AM »

I'd say it's the front of a woman or something?
At least that's the most reasonable explanation I've heard this far.

faemir · « **Reply #496 on:** June 05, 2011, 01:27:22 PM »

Finished Frames, it was pretty cool. The production was a lot more full, I preferred it, and it was a bit catchier though I think overall weaker.

Just starting Everyone into Position, it seems very catchy already, its lacking a bit dynamically though...

Zantera · « **Reply #497 on:** June 05, 2011, 02:46:46 PM »

Everything needs time.

faemir · « **Reply #498 on:** June 05, 2011, 02:57:54 PM »

half way into Effloresce, after one listen it goes:

Everyone into Position > Self Preserved > Frames.

zxlkho · « **Reply #499 on:** June 05, 2011, 02:58:47 PM »

lol

Frames

EiP
Effloesce
Self Preseved

faemir · « **Reply #500 on:** June 05, 2011, 02:59:52 PM »

Self-Preserved last? Why?

zxlkho · « **Reply #501 on:** June 05, 2011, 03:00:49 PM »

It's not that it's bad, it's just that the other 3 albums are so fucking amazing.

Zantera · « **Reply #502 on:** June 05, 2011, 03:01:18 PM »

faemir, I love you and all... but if you start doing album-rankings after one listen, especially with Frames last, I might have to stalk you in your dreams.
ITS ON.

Also, Self Preserved is fantastic, and equally as good as the rest.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #503 on:** June 05, 2011, 03:29:33 PM »

Frames
EiP
Effloresce
Self-Preserved

Still need to hear the EP's. I'll get around to it soon.

That will change soon enough.

faemir · « **Reply #506 on:** June 05, 2011, 03:45:46 PM »

Yeah, got a few EPs to put above Frames ;P

Zantera · « **Reply #507 on:** June 05, 2011, 05:06:55 PM »

Oceansize is one of those bands where the EP's are actually better then the albums, something I've never really seen somewhere else.

faemir · « **Reply #508 on:** June 05, 2011, 05:22:54 PM »

:O really? Which ones! I already have Music For Nurses.

Zantera · « **Reply #509 on:** June 05, 2011, 05:24:56 PM »

Well, Music For Nurses and Home & Minor.
There are a few others with B-sides, but those would more fit under the 'Singles'-term.

faemir · « **Reply #510 on:** June 05, 2011, 05:51:00 PM »

Second listen of Frames, yum.

I still haven't found a good non-artifacted artwork scan though, I'll need to dust off my scanner.

So Faemir, any update on your progress? :>

I'd go with the top 3 there, not got Self Preserved yet though.

faemir · « **Reply #516 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:45:23 AM »

Nah, been out all day revising (on my birthday no less...grumble)

Zantera · « **Reply #517 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:49:53 AM »

Fair enough.
Well, make sure you fall in love with this band and document the different stages of fanboyism in this thread like I did.

faemir · « **Reply #518 on:** June 06, 2011, 01:31:52 PM »

Build Us a Rocket Then... is such a great song \o/

Zantera · « **Reply #519 on:** June 06, 2011, 01:53:07 PM »

Yeah, I'd say it's really one of my favorites on the album.
Reminds me of Mastodon for some reason, but I love it how much variety is in that song, seeing how short it is.
Really a great mix of heavy and soft.

faemir · « **Reply #520 on:** June 07, 2011, 08:17:37 AM »

A good sign of a new band i like is that even though i dont know their stuff at all, and i'm not thinking every moment on this is awesome, I'm finding more and more bits that I think "hey thats cool", and i didnt get bored of 5 album listens in a row.

The last time this happened was Thrice and they are in my top 5 bands sooo

Zantera · « **Reply #521 on:** June 07, 2011, 08:35:54 AM »

I know what you mean.
Before discovering Oceansize, I used to think that PT was my favorite band, but that quickly changed.

faemir · « **Reply #522 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:17:06 AM »

I don't think that will happen to me to be honest

Dynia · « **Reply #523 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:45:45 AM »

I bought Frames some time ago. I love it.
I'm not sure if i like it more than EiP, though, but it is certainly a fantastic album.

Zantera · « **Reply #524 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:52:39 AM »

I finally found Red Rag to a Bear and Siberian Bullshit (songs from the Frames-sessions for newbies), and man.. two really fantastic songs.
I just love it how this band has B-sides just as amazing as the songs on their albums.
