Now we only have to wait 10 million years for the next album

Another drop from The Ocean to quench our thirst, yet the salt leaves us all thirsty for more.

What Im noticing is the heavier sections are REALLY heavy and the softer sections are a lot softer, I absolutely love this dynamic

The most amazing thing with The Ocean is how they release one masterpice after another, where as soon as you hear them you know is them, yet every album is so unique.

Already AOTY, they weren't kidding when they said redefining heaviness when they said it. "Boreal" is remarkable, and "Atlantic" is a life altering track for me.

Unconformities is just pure gold

The Ocean is a force of nature. Once you dive into its complexity, you get lost but you are never alone. Well done. This music makes me transcend.

KZfaq recommended this album. Never heard of this band. 20 minutes in and I am absolutely VIBING. You've got a new fan.

I can't believe I didn't discover this band earlier. This is phenomenal.

What a beautifull cold and sunny morning here in Quebec, (Canada) with the sounds of OCEAN coming across the Atlantic! Thanks for this new wave guys!!!!

Very possibly The Ocean's best album to date.

Sure Holocene is a very different record compared to the previous ones. But one thing is sure: this album will be a serious contender for AOTY. Love Peter's input on all tracks and how Robin oceanized his ideas, but one thing I absolutely love is the brass sections. Just wow.

Every album of The Ocean is a conceptual masterpiece...

0:00 Preboreal 5:04 Boreal 8:45 Sea of Reeds 14:34 Atlantic 23:23 Subboreal 28:10 Unconformities 37:19 Parabiosis 45:32 Subatlantic

Damn, Karin Park fits extra well in her respective track, really enjoyed this album, thanks everyone!

This album is no doubt going to be another classic in The Ocean’s vast and diverse discography, and a perfect addition and closer to the absolute mammoth story of our Planet’s history. You guys always set the standard :)

I still can't believe how Atlantic is so freaking good!! I feel like it should last longer

I feel like I'm getting away with something by hearing this the afternoon before release day. Thanks for doing this, guys...

Love this album. I listened to it on repeat for several hours today and am completely hooked on it now. Love this band so much.

This is fantastic. Never heard of the band before and came across this randomly. Its definitely better to listen to the album as a whole which i love.

Every time this album opens....with this insanely awesome synth.......it's like so organically perfect ❤❤

Another amazing ride, dudes... Completely blown away! Playing Atlantic on repeat especially. I love how you keep progressing and never release an album that sounds like the last one(s). The vocal melodies are ridiculously good and the flow all throughout the album is impeccable. Can't wait to hear this live!

CAN'T FUCKING WAIT. MY BODY IS READY

I’m really enjoying this one…they’re trying new things, and I think it’s awesome how the album progresses from subdued and melodic to fierce and powerful

Meu dia melhorou 200% com esse lançamento

'Atlantic' is incredible

Already preordered from Pelagic ❤ You guys never make a mistake

Goodness, this album has it all. The perfect chill out with a cold one moments, the bang your head moments, and the "how did they do that?" moments. Awesome effort!!!!

Paul going BEAST mode! Whole band sounds so damn good. 🔥

How is that I haven't heard this band before!! Its just great!!!

The synths just add a whole new dimension and scope to the album. My favorite album of yours so far.

This is a gorgeous and breathtaking album. I can listen to these beautiful songs all day!! I want more!!! 🖤😻🖤🎶🖤

Atlantic and Subboreal🤘

The instrumental version of this album is going to be incredible to listen to.

This album is something special. Also, I think this is my favorite album mix of yours to date.

Another banger of an album. These dudes are in their prime

The evolution of this band is so incredible. Long love The Ocean. Excellent album \m/

Thank you for another incredible album!

Admittedly I was a bit sceptic they'd be able to pull off another great album after such a streak of great releases, but looks like I had no reason to doubt! Very pleasing to hear some of the familiarity of the stuff from the earlier works, especially Precambrian and Phanerozoic II, yet there was that new electronic aspect (and female vocals) added to the soundscape, fits the theme of the modern times. A bit sad that this album marks the end of the series though, but I'm sure they'll figure out something new and exciting eventually!

well, all of their albums are just so ... eccentric and breathtaking.. thank you guys and keep on doing this amazing work. you are loved

No words can be expressed for this masterpiece, only feelings! ❤❤❤

This is absolutely beautiful and has completely surpassed my expectations after all this time waiting! I've already lost count of how many times I've listened to it since the stream!

The music.. the riffs.. great vocals.. and oh god this atmosphere

Glad to be here on time :-)

Very nice, fresh and new sounds !!

Top quality, love the atmosphere shifts as the album develops!

I’ve been waiting for this for so, so long.

I knew that a day one preorder was a good idea. Phenomenal record.

Amazing ride!! Thanks the Ocean!!

Love this. Great job guys

Amazing! Now to get my Boreal vinyl boxset delivered!! :D

Thanks youtube recommendations. This is extremely good.

This album is AWESOME.

Great album, great songs, great atmosphere ✨

Beautiful masterpiece 🎯

The way the outro melody of unconformities flows and seamlessly blends into parabiosis is utterly stunning!!

- when a band called sound pleasantly and uncanny like What a Sound, The Ocean!! You're a Fine Wine of a band, gentlemens !!

Would take a full colab album with Karin Park. Uncomformities is fucking spectacular.

Brilliant!!

Masterpiece

in my opiniun, i liked their anthropocentric and aeolian times, i rly rlly like their heavy stuff, im not a sucker for repeating songs, its not bad tho, i respect their expremental charakter. also one of my favorites is their album "pelagial", just adding it in here:)

So damn hyped

Just perfect and totaly amazing

Another amazing album. 😍

Wonderful 🤘

Absolute Masters.

re-playable as fu**. awesome work guys, as always! \m/

Astonishing, remarkable, brilliant; this album is beautiful and outstanding and all fans will understand how incredible this record is. 💙

Fantastique nouvel album ! Bravo !

Yes!!!

Its my first time listening this... What a good band. Greetings from Sudamerica.

Can't wait until my vinyl box set gets here!!!

What a masterpiece.

2023: The year when Enslaved, Katatonia, Haken, and The Ocean confabulate to release masterpiece records.

welcome to New Zealand guys!

just another amazing record ..best track of the album for me was definitely Parabiosis

Just like a wow !

Soon in South Africa. Stoked.

Brilliant 🤯

BANGER

very nice.

The singles made me skeptical of this album, not because it was bad or anything but because it sounded very different, so I wasn't very excited. Then I started thinking about it constantly, listening to the singles some more times. It got stuck in my head. Then I proceeded to hear all their other works in anticipation for Holocene and honestly? I was dumb. It sounds exactly like it should, it's a clear cut convergence point in their evolution of sound, it sounds completely natural. It is what it should be. And it's honestly one of my favorite albums from them, contender for the best in my opinion.

Yes

14:34 is both a cry and an indictment... it cuts me to the quick! The darkness closes in with it's pacifying familiarity.

I haven't been a fan since the beginning. I discovered The Ocean Collective around the time Palegial dropped about ten years ago. Been a fan ever since, managed to see The Ocean play a prog metal gig in Melbourne, Australia a few years ago. I finished this album on Tidal about 5 hours ago. My first complete listen I couldn't help but consider how much this band continues to explore, experiment, blend and progress. I am not always ready for what they bring, which forces me to re-frame what the band is for me. It reminds me of Radiohead back in 2004, with their dramatic re-imaginings of their sound with each record. The Ocean hooked me in with their seismic prog metal epics. However, now, they are so much more and I am here for it. They are geniune artists on the front line of modern music and I am in awe of what this record offers in scope. Now, I am going to further experience this album on high rotation for awhile.

Seeehr nett! Habe euch im Junkyard gesehen... Lohnt sich! :-)

Let's see which one is faster, yputube or DHL. I am waiting for my boxset 🔥🔥

que Rechimba esta Banda de >Progresive Rock-AuntMetal

26:05 .... SO HIP! And what follows... geez, ultimate satisfaction. This album is even more in my tastes that the Phanerozic combo. WOW.
