Too stoked for this new album, been craving it since I first discovered this band back in January. Since then they've become probably one of my top 10 favorite bands. Clean Head and birth.eater are phenomenal. I like to pretend The Tide doesn't exist.
Wow you only caught on to them in January?!?! Well, better late than never I guess haha! You caught on at a perfect time cause I feel this band is going to blow up in the indie scene very soon! Birth.Eater is in my top 5 favorite albums of all time though!

haha yeah, they had always been on my list of bands to check out and once i finally checked them out i kicked myself for waiting so long.
i listened to them when they were the tide. i only liked a couple songs. the clean head ep is one of my favorite ep's ever. so good. never could get into birtheater though :/

The Tide is hands down the best thing Oceana's released. I understand that people love this drawn out, boring new style they're going for but don't discredit their past work when they're are people who love it. It surprises me that people on this site view The Tide so badly, it's one of the most melodic and memorable metalcore CDs I've ever heard.
Yea "The Tide" era Oceana died when Keith and the drummer left! Oceana 2.0 is a lot like Thrice and As Cities Burn in the sense that they won't settle for the same! The only difference is that Since Birth.Eater they have been taking this path into super ambience. But with that said, they are doing something no other band really is doing and they are really searching the depths of their minds for what music is to them.
Gahhh, I don't mean to troll but this is fucking AWFUL. This is such a far cry from Oceana, just seems like that lame jam band garbage. Seriously, are there ANY Oceana fans on this site who don't care for this new direction (nor Clean Head ?).
EDIT: Comment is directed towards that "The Mean" acoustic video a user posted.

breakdowns can only go so far. i think it's a real mature step for the band which is a very rare thing to do in their genre. i am so glad they changed their style, and the way I see it, every fan they loose, they'll gain 2 which is a benefit to them.

I understand the allure of wanting to develop a career past aggressive music but in all honesty they should have ditched the name. The only original member is the rhythm guitarist and their new style is completely unrelated to their old.
If people who want The Tide, go listen to Decoder.. Brennan Taulbee has been in the band for almost 3 years as the singer, it's starting to get annoying after awhile that people are still crying for The Tide sound.
