it's perfect and i have never gone tired of listening to it; i bought it without really knowing what to expect, just heard the name tossed around but not a note and fuck wasn't it amazing. "the beginning and the end" is also probably my favorite opening song of any album, just fucking amazing.

i love neurosis and all but they don't have such a perfect album as oceanic (they have extraordinairly great albums mostly); i don't really love mogwai but they haven't written a song as great as any of the ones in oceanic, same with tortoise; the closest an album i think has the same amount of genius and cohesiveness is spiderland or lifet yr skinny fists like antenna to heaven. isis should do a symphony.

and i though panopticon wasn't all that and though in the absense of truth was a return to form, yet still no oceanic.

u heard the oceanic remix album? its awesome.
