EFFLORESCE

This is how OCEANSIZE was born.Their unique style is less heavy here, less TOOLish and more Post-Rock/Spacy. The whole album seems to be a little bit boring and to be honest, it deserves 3 stars - but "LONG FORGOTTEN" makes it almost a Masterpiece!!! This is one of the best songs I heard in my entire life and can serve as a sampler SONG for Songy Post-Rock (like SIGUR ROS or RADIOHEAD). Others are nice too - especially "Amputee", "Catalyst", "Women...", "Saturday Morning Breakfast Show" etc. My major complaint goes to album's timing - it's a bit too long and hence unfocused.Without these instrumental meanderings like "Unravel" or "I'm the Morning" (usually built around one simple theme) it could be much better.On the other hand, it includes one of the best songs Earth ever faced - "LONG FORGOTTEN"!!! - so I'm not afraid to recommend it.
