What Im noticing is the heavier sections are REALLY heavy and the softer sections are a lot softer, I absolutely love this dynamic

[@cynaptyc]

It is certainly moving! I love how the shift the dynamics! You feel it!

[@sinuhegomes7271]

The most amazing thing with The Ocean is how they release one masterpice after another, where as soon as you hear them you know is them, yet every album is so unique.

[@tylerandrew1009]

KZbin recommended this album. Never heard of this band. 20 minutes in and I am absolutely VIBING. You've got a new fan.

[@antoineblastedblack]

Unconformities is just pure gold

[@kwnwps]

Trivia: You wont find this track in the vinyl edition. Not even the limited one. Only as an extra 10", in the holocene boxset or in the digital album.

[@denverm4x]

Very possibly The Ocean's best album to date.

I've still got Phanerozoic I just above it, but it's close.

The Ocean is a force of nature. Once you dive into its complexity, you get lost but you are never alone. Well done. This music makes me transcend.

Already AOTY, they weren't kidding when they said redefining heaviness when they said it. "Boreal" is remarkable, and "Atlantic" is a life altering track for me.

[@DennisRadaelli]

Sure Holocene is a very different record compared to the previous ones. But one thing is sure: this album will be a serious contender for AOTY. Love Peter's input on all tracks and how Robin oceanized his ideas, but one thing I absolutely love is the brass sections. Just wow.

[@randolphthesilver4245]

Thumbs-up for the brass section comment

[@mmatthews90]

I didn't see the brass coming at all, but man when they did I couldn't imagine the brass not being there. So good

This album is no doubt going to be another classic in The Ocean’s vast and diverse discography, and a perfect addition and closer to the absolute mammoth story of our Planet’s history. You guys always set the standard :)

[@Heeskane]

Admittedly I was a bit sceptic they'd be able to pull off another great album after such a streak of great releases, but looks like I had no reason to doubt! Very pleasing to hear some of the familiarity of the stuff from the earlier works, especially Precambrian and Phanerozoic II, yet there was that new electronic aspect (and female vocals) added to the soundscape, fits the theme of the modern times. A bit sad that this album marks the end of the series though, but I'm sure they'll figure out something new and exciting eventually!

[@lando4901]

what is this fucking masterpiece flying under the radar so low

[@into_the_void]

Just like a wow !

[@JUJUJUNO]

The singles made me skeptical of this album, not because it was bad or anything but because it sounded very different, so I wasn't very excited. Then I started thinking about it constantly, listening to the singles some more times. It got stuck in my head. Then I proceeded to hear all their other works in anticipation for Holocene and honestly? I was dumb. It sounds exactly like it should, it's a clear cut convergence point in their evolution of sound, it sounds completely natural. It is what it should be. And it's honestly one of my favorite albums from them, contender for the best in my opinion.

[@MirkoFustinoni]

Same here. The only "problem" for me is that I can't decide between this and the new Sleep Token album, but you know, two great records are better than one!

[@JUJUJUNO]

@@MirkoFustinoni I have to yet listen to that one but Sleep Token is always amazing so disappointing it will not be for sure! But man, what's up with this week? Lots of artists dropping insane music all around, there was new Ghost stuff, new Bent Knee, new Hail The Sun, In Mourning, Mutoid Man, and that's just the ones I know!

[@MirkoFustinoni]

@@JUJUJUNO oh, Bent Knee completely went off my radar! I'm genuinely curious to hear what they did without Ben Levin! Not really familiar with the other ones you mentioned (aside from Ghost, I have never liked that band 😅)

[@JUJUJUNO]

@@MirkoFustinoni oh I don't like Ghost that much either, it's a weird scenario where overall I don't really care but some stuff they made are undeniably stellar so I'm always on the lookout. Their new cover of Phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden for example is great!

[@emptycloud2774]

I haven't been a fan since the beginning. I discovered The Ocean Collective around the time Palegial dropped about ten years ago. Been a fan ever since, managed to see The Ocean play a prog metal gig in Melbourne, Australia a few years ago. I finished this album on Tidal about 5 hours ago. My first complete listen I couldn't help but consider how much this band continues to explore, experiment, blend and progress. I am not always ready for what they bring, which forces me to re-frame what the band is for me. It reminds me of Radiohead back in 2004, with their dramatic re-imaginings of their sound with each record. The Ocean hooked me in with their seismic prog metal epics. However, now, they are so much more and I am here for it. They are geniune artists on the front line of modern music and I am in awe of what this record offers in scope. Now, I am going to further experience this album on high rotation for awhile.

[@NikCornejo]

thats not the beginning

[@cd5642]

I also started my journey with Robin during Pelegial. I always loved his role as a composer and his ability to not only layer musicical ideas, but also the layering of multiple historic, religious, and philosophical ideas. I so agree with your Radiohead comparison. They pushed boundaries and sounded like nobody else at the time. The Ocean’s pushing these same boundaries with their continuous growth and expansion through layering of soundscapes on top of their heaviness. It will be interesting to see where their music, and popularity, goes in the future. They should be much bigger than they are. Son, you need a radical change!

[@agilitykissa]

@@NikCornejo well considering the fact that their comment literally began with "I haven't been a fan since the beginning" I struggle to see how you're adding anything to the conversation.
