I'm in the same boat. I have a cd that my buddy told me to get yet I never got around to listening to it.

Both of you need to listen to Frames NAO.

Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

It's a bit sad that not more people on this forum knows about them, hands down the best Progressive rock-band I've ever gotten the opportunity to listen to.
Frames will remain probably the nr1 album within the genre for me, it's just both timeless and perfect.  :heart

Still can't believe this, I doubt I will ever be able to listen to something by the band ever again, the emotional state it would put me in is just too painful to go through.  :sadpanda:

Both bands are supporting records, with Oceansizeís excellent guitar-wrangling debut Effloresce, in all its triple-axe glory, finally hitting shelves today, while McClusky also release a new album this very day, their fourth, the Steve Albini-produced the difference between me and you is that iím not on fire (what a great title!). The two-and-a-half week jaunt will initiate in Seattle on June 4 and will continue through until a June 22 date in the Big Apple. Get out and watch the rock!

With all due respect, that seems incredibly childish and melodramatic.

I'll most likely be fine in a while, but listening to them right now is kinda the last thing I want to do.

It's one of the first things I want to do. We should be celebrating their achievements, not wallowing in grief.

It's kinda hard for me.
Sure, all their studio-albums are fantastic, their EP's are as well, overall I doubt I'll ever find a band where there aren't any 'lowpoints', and where everything is that mindblowing.
But, I can't help but wonder what music we could have gotten in the future, instead we get 20-30 sideprojects, where I can't say I'm intrigued by a single one yet. :/
I guess Oceansize kinda brought everyones influences/ideas into one mix, maybe why they sound so unique.

I'll probably wait a few years before I listen to them again, mostly because I would think "yay for these guys throwing away something amazing", but eventually after some time has passed, I won't give a shit anymore, and then I can probably listen to it without caring. :P

A few years? 


I think you're taking this a little seriously.  I mean, every band breaks up some time, and it's not like over 10 years, 4 albums, 5 EPs, and a massive and amazing live box set is a short lifespan. 

On the contrary to you, I'm listening to Oceansize more than every now!   :metal  It was great while it lasted.

A few years isn't much.
I think I reached somewhere along 1,7k-1,8k plays with Oceansize within 4-5 months, which is a pretty high number.
Giving something a rest for a year or two isn't rare for me, I've done it with Opeth and Porcupine Tree, and I go after the philosophy that "Why only listen to stuff I already know, when there's so much more out there?", so I pretty much try to constantly explore new stuff.
Obviously I go back to stuff I love also, but I think it's necessary to let it rest for some time, because otherwise the magic will never come back, at least not if I've overplayed it.
