Does it really stand on a par with Dark Side Of The Moon in terms of atmosphere and flow?

No. Not at all.

I honestly can't rate this album until I'm listening to it from CD. My main criticism is production quality at this point.

I hope he's not being serious. I don't think they need to do a double album anymore. They don't need to prove anything with a double plus it would take longer! I'd rather have another album in 2 years than a double album in 3 and a half.

I'd love another double (if it was good, of course). MCIS was only 2 years after SD, so let's have a double in 2014 ;)

Reading Your Guys' Reviews, I Finally Gave Into Listening To The 'Oceania' Stream :(
But I Will Reserve My Full Opinion Until I Receive My CD In The Mail And Give It A Proper And Thorough Listen That It Deserves
"A Million Miles And A Thousand Smiles Away......."
"Lovely Girl, You're The Murder In My World......."

I just found a pile of Oceania CDs in the stock of my workingplace.
The back cover is very beautiful with nothing but the vast, eternal oceans on it and the titles.
Took some photos which I will upload tonite.
Unfortunatly those jackasses won't give me a copy until monday :(

I'm telling you, Epitome, be careful what you wish for! This could be a disaster waiting to happen!

(Of course, it could be great, buuuuuut...I doubt it)
You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities...

At least it would show he's still got some of his old ambition though. I suppose the Teargarden 44 song project kind of did... but that was balls.

Aha, Don knows best! I love it!

I actually like the back cover better than the front. And I have to say, the artwork really suits the music, based on the one listen I had.

I'm having my second listen to Oceania now. I really can't get past the awful lyrics to Quasar. Really ruins a good piece of music. Probably the Pumpkins' 2nd worst lyrics after Astral Planes.
