The album is certainly not striking or challenging album with philosophical texts. There is no socio-critical background and none of the songs can be a real interpretation.
But whatever? There are enough bad in this world! To escape reality for a brief 3/4 hour requires an album a few nice songs with a nice background music and a not entirely unpleasant voice.
"Ocean Eyes" has it all and so it is in my eyes a zippy pop album without large weaknesses! Maybe a bit too "mainstream" but that bothers me rather less.
If you prefer to even really buys music only for "Listen" and "be-happy-about it", which is well served with the album! Eben a pleasant "sugar shock" (I thank one of my previous reviewers for this cute word that hits the nail on the head! :-))
