listening to a random song off each of these albums so i can pick which one to get next
the ocean - stenian
with my luck this is the best song on the album bcuz i don't remember this album being this good, though i dunno if this is up to part with pelagial
the ocean - the first commandment of the luminaries
ehh this is okay. the cleans here are nowhere near as good as pelagial. this is kind of generic more than anything but solid enough. the atmosphere feels kinda thin too. i kinda see why people are down on this album and it's not just because of the cleans. maybe this is the worst song though who knows
the ocean - the grand inquisitor ii: roots & locusts
oh man i like this pretty immediately. but i dunno if it ever goes beyond "like". it just stays at a solid 7.5/10 the whole way through i feel like. maybe if i listened to it more it'd grow on me though
tbh i'm wary about all of these because i know i'll hate the first disc of precambrian and the other two aren't generally as well-liked and are technically a double concept album i think but maybe not? anyways i might just not get something from these guys right now i have so many other bands to check out and i love pelagial but always got the impression (from experience) that they were never that good before then
