5.0 out of 5 stars Ocean Colour Me More, July 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: North Atlantic Drift (Audio CD)

O.C.S. is one of those bands that seem to grow with each recording, often misaligned by the press, the band pulls another facet of their unique mix of 60's retro, and rock. The vocal are superb, and the music crisp with something for everyone. Even as a discovery album, this will open a few eyes and hearts to the band, yes there are a couple of tracks here that I dont like.... but on the whole the album is a well crafted one, reflecting all of the bands talents....... Shes Been Writing, The Song goes on, North Alantic Drift, Make The Deal. Stand out for me anyway. Yes its a import for the US, but worth it in my opinion $$ well spent. In the meanwhile Im off to play the other OCS albums I have, Very Very Very Loud.

I love this band, I really do. Even if this album doesn't quite touch the distinctive, moody brilliance of their masterpiece Moseley Shoals, it is still a very, very good album; lovingly crafted, with excellent vocals, catchy melodies, and solid musicianship. Besides, with four bonus tracks it is great value too. While OCS does major in very traditional rock (and why complain? they do it so well!), this album offers a lot of variety within that framework: fast and mid-tempo rockers, melancholic ballads, and my favorite, the absolutely fantastic folk-tinged "Second Hand Car". The only bad thing I can say about this album that you will be tempted to skip the good songs to get to the great ones.
