Ocean Colour Scene Reviews
Hoping for Something Different
I bought this album after listening to Is She Coming Home and hoped there were similar tracks. There are, but it is mostly early 90's indie rock. The band has changed their sound since. A lot of the music reminded me of Echo and the Bunnymen's style. It's a good listen, just not great.
Wow, this is the first review
I'm kind of surprised no one else has reviewed this yet. I bought this CD from my local music store because they didn't have Moseley Shoals and I didn't want to walk away empty handed. You can certainly tell that it is the band's first album, as the songs are all too similar in flavor to each other. Nevertheless, it is almost as enjoyable as OCS's later music, and if you are a true fan of them, you should really have this one. For non-fans, this album is best described as a usually mellow, sometimes energized mix of the Beatles and Pink Floyd. And yet there are very few moments where their sound feels "borrowed". Ocean Colour Scene is the best rock band of this decade, and the least commercialized. So, the fact that you're reading this review is probably enough to warrant buying this CD.
Making a minor splash in the Madchester scene of the mid '90s, this album was recognized mostly for the impressively rock-steady, neo-psychedelic single "Sway." The rest of the album doesn't know if it wants to be more of a traditional rock-out or a White Album-esque Brit pop effort. Either way, the band fares much better with the follow-up album,
Moseley Shoals
, which rode the Oasis wave into the mid-'90s as Paul Weller assists in backing vocals and keyboards.
