Whether the good or bad place and if you continue to take the extremely strong debut "Efflorece" to scale or each album can seem new, of course individually.
The fact is that the latest album and willfully uncommercial comes along and will polarize, as no work of Englishman previously.
Who feared here would like to work as quiet on the "Home And Minor EP", however, can breathe easy, because the opener "Part Cardiac" is loud and clatter. Nevertheless engegengebrüllte Mike Vennart number rather has intro character.
Also published in advance "SuperImposer" qualified as a typical Oceansize first single, even if the vocal line is extremely gewühnungsbedürftig.
But that it also continues not remain less krachig demonstrate the fast "We Built A Rocket Then" and with Gastkeifer Simon Neil (Biffy Clyro) studded "It's My Tail And I'll Chase If I Want To", at least fans of the Scots proves that Neil has not forgotten those Shout deposits as have the last two boards try to tell.
These songs also take care of most of the confusion, but in a positive sense, because here Oceansize occur so hard on the Tube as since "Everyone in position" no longer (even if there is anything more to be found in mid-tempo).
Negative confusion then prepares the middle of the album, because "Ransom" is so not from the quark and gurgles quietly in front of him and looks almost like a bridge between "Home And Minor" and "SPWTBFU". Completely perplexity then adjusts at "A Penny's Weight" that seemingly completely rushes past with unconventional melodies and quiet instrumentation at the previous target.
On the plus side still "Oscar Acceptance Speech" and "Silent / Transparent" can be beyond. Both calm-progressive rock pieces that unfold slowly. The instrumental passages may find some boring, while others might feel positively about "frames" recalls.
Too bad that is omitted in comparison to its predecessors in epic final pieces. "Pine" would have had what it takes, but listen for nearly five minutes already and the closing "Superimposter" While grooving, but burns rather unspectacular in orbit of neo-Progger.
The Limited Edition also waits next to a 32-page booklet in hardcover digipack on with the bonus track "Cloke". A quiet track, which is not necessarily bad, but dispensable.
Somewhere under the line is "SPWTBFU" a quirky album that does not open up any handset and is likely to be classified in equal proportions as "Top" and "flop". Even this review is a variable star, which ranks after day, between two and four.
Technically the album is as usual impeccable, but each number here invites to lively discussions.
