[@offiziellerkanalvondoggen-3116]

Theory: The clean guitar melody in the beginning of Eocene is the same as the one in the Bridge of Jurassic|Cretaceous, because it's supposed to resemble mammalian activity during the Mesozoic. The first mammals were small rodent-like animals who were nocturnal to avoid the dinosaurs, and I think the reoccurrence of that melody (which is very trippy and subtle, just like the existence of mammals during the Mesozoic) is a metaphor that mammals begin to rise and primates start to evolve. Like, this one melody made it through the chaos that was Palaeocene. It survived. The Ocean's Albums are always perfectly composed and thought-out in every detail.

[@profefelipemedina3753]

Maybe you are right, or maybe you are overthinking it. It is not the first time The Ocean uses the same phrase or melody in various songs of an album. Anyway it's an interesting point of view from you. Cheers! to the best band ever!

[@reedy_9619]

I dont know for me interpretation is just interpretation Just like we interpret nature It being wrong doesn’t make the interpretation any less beautiful. (What i dislike thought is what is done in some classes where you take poetry smash it’s skull in to death with a big ass rock skin it, cut it up put it in a bowl shuffle it and pull an explanatory text out of it. It’s fucking necromancy and make me want to bring in roadkill and use it to talk about life in nature to make a point Sorry let my frustration talk a bit too loud at the end there

[@pain0fsalvation]

@@profefelipemedina3753 Is very usual to reuse some melodies in conceptual progressive albums, nothing new here. Haken do it in every album, even using melodies of previous albums.

[@giantrobot5804]

@@reedy_9619 What makes the fascination of dissecting poetry even funnier to me is that most poets you "learn" from in class tend to have a reason, thought process or a particular topic about their work which they often openly discuss at lectures and so on. Why any form of poetry/art requires minutus detail scraping is beyond me. As you mention though, interpretation is just that and people will form their own thoughts and personal feelings behind any work of art or topic. We've all had the feeling from a piece of art; be it music, painting, poems that the art was made for you and you alone. The feeling you get when you're listening to a piece of music from a relatively unheard of artist and you get the sense you may be the only person in your entire country that is listening to it is an example. Another being a song you will listen to regularly but for some reason will never share it with anyone. That feeling of personal ownership or deep emotional connection to a work of art no matter what it is, is likely the reason behind some questionable analysis of poetry you might hear in a classroom or a lecture hall. Some interpretations are just ugly. However, OPs was not, and was rather quite beautiful.

[@chrisallum9044]

@@giantrobot5804 It's depth. Sound's like you prefer more shallow stuff. I along with others find shallow stuff less than satisfying ...most of the time. There are times it's nice to listen to shallow less dense music though for sure. Perhaps you can imagine it as an image with less depth of view allowing you only to see a few meters vs another in which you can see layer after layer all the way to the horizon and people arguing over what they see.

[@iflyhelicopters]

We all can only take so much Some more than others And our individual tolerance for stress For loneliness is so subjective But there’s no tolerance at all For hopelessness Yes you sure did your best to smile When I dragged you once more to the aisle But all the serenity Just served to augment your pain You’ve always been intrigued by death and the other side You got yourself to close To the abyss and no one of the closest ones around you Realized How your stare turned empty How the flickering Faded from your eyes And emptiness invaded Yes you sure did your best to smile When I dragged you once more to the aisle but all the serenity just served to augment your pain And no one could tell the moment When you disassembled When your restless heart froze And you sank below the ice Eyes wide open Your saviors soul is consumed by guilt Your faith in him won’t be saving you My whole life I’ve been searching Digging deep Turning over every stone Questioning everything I know Maybe there’s no fire Deep behind these mountains This light is something else We are just atoms Colliding crashing Melting merging Existing spinning Colliding burning Out…

[@nicholashatzis]

Saw them live in Oslo a few days ago. I didn't know any of their songs, but they were so awesome live that I looked them up immediately. They're talented, have a great stage presence, and their music speaks for itself. My favorite of this album is definitely Miocene/Pliocene, which was breathtaking live. Not gonna lie, I was there for Karnivool but the Ocean definitely stole the show!

[@XDariXx]

Haha, its similar for me. I wanted to go for Karnivool the year prior, sadly i red that the tour got delayed yet again. Lateron I checked out the new date, saw that they will be accompanied by The Ocean and I was hyped immidatly, since i already knew them. Srsly underrated group, they have a very unique attempt to metal. Their vocalist is a god damn machine, his screams are haunting. And i agree, Mioscene//Plioscene is an absolute beast live. The athmosphere, undescribable.

Amazing. This was my most anticipated album in a long time, and after a month of release I can safely say that this is up there as one my favourite albums of the last decade. I have been a fan of The Ocean since I saw them support Opeth with Cynic. Aeolian got me into them big time and the distance this Collective has traveled in terms of music writing and putting all they've learnt through the years together to create this masterpiece is just an amazing feeling. This albums been on repeat now almost daily since its release. Fantastic work, I cannot praise this enough. Hits all the right spots.
