I have been waiting for this new album from The Ocean Collective for so long. Now that it's been out for a few days, and I've listened to it almost non-stop since then, I can officially put my seal of approval on it. Is it better than Pelagial? Nah, not really. But it does mark a bit of a return to their earlier sound, which some people might prefer. Regardless of how you compare it to Pelagial, it's really very good. And, honestly, it's difficult to match or surpass an album as near-perfect as Pelagial is.
And the final track, Permian: The Great Dying, is a true gem. It's an amazing song and one of the best they've ever made, in my opinion. The rest of the album is good, but that song is absolutely fantastic. The album is worth a shot.
