    It SHOULD have been a Jesus Lizard nod.

    Yawn…..i think i got lost in all the pretentiousness of it all.

  • yzermantiis

    Do not understand why everyone hates on this band. They make some HEAVY kickass music

    • Jake

      I didn’t understand it either. then i hung out with a pestilence fan and noticed that he only drank A&W root beer and eat microwaved dinners.

      it actually explains a lot.

    • ACoffinShip

      Absolutely no fucking clue. Excellent songwriting, great pacing, and lyrics that are actually thoughtful. Also, a song about evolution that is for the most part scientifically accurate to boot! Heliocentric/Anthropocentric are my favorite albums of this year easy.

      • Strapping Young Lad

        people hate this band??!

  • Howie

    I for one feel absolutely indebted to MS for showing me this band. Between this, Horseback and Intronaut, my ever growing love of post-metal has been nurtured and cultivated wonderfully by this site.

  • Dornerd

    I think someone’s got a hard-on for The Ocean. What about the new album? Should’ve included atleast one song from it I think.

  • CrestalMyth

    “lol religion sucks so rebellious lol.” at least precambian’s good.

    • Howie

      They do a more in-depth and thought out critique than that. You make it sound like they’re a bunch of 15 year old kids going out of their way to piss off old ladies.

  • Jeremy

    Heliocentric is garbage. Why do people like this band? They are so Pretentious. Just because they based their shit on a classic book doesn’t make them smart and heliocentric was boring as shit.

    • NickB

      You know them personally and can say they’re actually pretentious, i’m sure. The word pretentious is a piss poor adjective for music anyways. You could always simply say “I don’t like it” instead of making an ass out of yourself.

      I don’t see how The Ocean are pretentious. Sure, they write songs about scientific and philosophical things, but they hardly come off as pretentious.

  • calebzia

    Pretentious???? um…actually they’re probably just smarter than you

  • skeet skeet

    from my cursory listen it didn’t sound very innovative. they are probably decent, but nothing special.

    The new word of the month is obviously “Pretentious”.
