You mean anyone that just doesn't like it? If I remember correctly, PistolPete wasn't that impressed was he? At least not on first impression I don't think he was.

epitome OFFLINE Die Posts: 6616	After having a while to sink in (and after I did like it on first listen) I have a few things to say about Oceania that I really wouldn't have expected to be saying before it came out. 1. I like it even more than Zeitgeist 2. It's in my top two albums for this year (so far) 3. It might be in my top 3 SP albums It just seems to get better with each listen

Well put - I'm right there with you on all of your points.

I think that is my number one still, but I haven't listened to Oceania as much yet. I entered a song from it in the music taste thing, but here's another if you want to check it out:

JonnyDaycase OFFLINE Plastic Guy Music Taste Champion Posts: 737	so ive taken a break from listening to Oceania for a while, and coming back to it after a week of listening to other stuff, im not raving about it as much as at first. think i over reacted initially. of course, its a fantastic album, but as i currently stand, i cant list in my top picks. going to listen again a few times and then maybe my opinion will once again change.

JonnyDaycase OFFLINE Plastic Guy Music Taste Champion Posts: 737	I think my favourite section of the album is The Chimera/Glissandra/Inkless. I love all of these songs!
