The Ocean have been busy this year. They've released two full length albums and toured all summer. That's not something that happens very often. The truly amazing park is they've released two great records back to back. That never happens.
"Anthropocentric" was suppose to be the bands return to a straight forward progressive format. For the most part it is, but when the two albums were pitched originally the first album Heliocentric was suppose to be this big. larger than life sound that would over shadow the second record when played at the same time. I can't say they did that but that's not bad at all. The longs are long, change as frequently as is to be expected by progressive bands. The title track of the album is over nine minutes alone and the album has ten tracks total. If your a fan of metal or hard rock and are interested in something that you can just sit and appreciate you couldn't do much better than "Anthropocentric".
Thank god for 2010 man. Last year was one of the worst years in metal and thanks to these guys this year continues to excel in bringing us some albums that are sure to be classics one day.
