The Ocean have been around for a while now (their first EP
Fogdiver was released in 2003), and with that time has come slow but steady musical
growth. They’ve improved over the course of each album, and their latest release Pelagial is
certainly their most accomplished record. Those who have followed them through
the career up to now are sure to enjoy what they have to offer here. That
being said, this wasn’t the easiest album for me to enjoy, and I tried REAL
hard to like this one. I swayed between hating it and loving it for a while,
and I eventually ended up feeling something in between.
