Best song on Ocean Machine - Biomech

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

I DEMAND more votes for Regulator!
That fucking klls live and on record.
Trust me, highlight of every devin set ive seen. Regulator.

 

[Alex78]

Regulator is too heavy. I'm more into the softer tunes of Biomech

 

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

Too heavy? How can a songe be Too heavy?! But all of biomech does rock.

 

[Alex78]

too heavy to be my favourite OM track. I love OM mainly because of the mellow songs like Funeral, Bastard, ....

 

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

Both good, but not Seventh Wave good. At least it's got more votes than "greetings"

 

[Schism]

Night and Bastard are equal, but I chose Night

But the album works best as a whole!

 

[Colonial Boy]

Funeral is epic so Im going for that. So many textures......

 

[Pork Rind Toes]

I voted for Bastard.

Hmm, maybe I shouldve gone for Seventh Wave. or Life. or Night. or Hide Nowhere. or Funeral. or Things Beyond Things. or THE DEATH OF MUSIC.

Fuck it, there is no standout song.

 

[Pieless]

It all kind of builds up to The Death of Music for me, which is an amazing climax IMO. The entire album is good, but if I listen to it in one setting, Death of Music will be the stand out track for me.

 

[Soul of Ice]

Regulator cause it is heavy and i just love how it sounds. To me it is very unique

 

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

YAY!.....(fucking char limit)

 

[The Navigator]

Death of Music for me. IMO Devin's most amazing song.

 

[sclemur]

HIDE NOWHERE!!
great vocals, crescendo, heavyness.... simply perfect.

 

[Ivanhoe]

Seventh Wave, Regulator or Funeral. But the record should be listened to as a whole, not individual songs.

IMO, it's one of those rare albums--like Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", that most all of the songs work great by thereselves, yet at the same time, it makes an amazing whole album at the same time.

I also think that the arrangement of the songs is perfect: starting with the more straightforward tracks Seventh Wave, Life, Night and Hide Nowhere, then some tracks of "silence", leading to the atmospheric beautiful Voices In The Fan and Greetings and then as a contrast the heavy riffs of Regulator. Finally the 3 big epic mega-tracks Funeral, Bastard, Death of Music....

And the closer Things Beyond Things, which finishes off the album perfectly. The only Devin album I've heard where he hasn't had a good closer is Infinity, I just don't like Unity for some reason.

 

[Chromatose]

bastard

 

[Alex78]

@ Pieless: but Noisy Pink Bubbles is a good closer, I think

@ Pieless: but Noisy Pink Bubbles is a good closer, I think

Yes, but I view Noisy Pink Bubbles as more of a bonus track then a closer. Unity ties up and ends the album, Noisy just seems to kind of be there. Fits in with the rest of the album in style, and is a good song, just seems out of place somewhat.
