Oceansize - Sleeping Dogs & Dead Lions

[psychofunksoldier02]

Great tune, great video, great band!!

[cateran0101]

their riff sounds like a rip off of the meshuggah song Autonomy Lost on catch 33. It kinda pisses me off that they would blatantly do that...

Frams - released 2007

Catch 33 - released 2005

i dont like this band any more, not to be a troll but my friends spoke highly of this band and this is just disappointing. What are some of there other good songs so I can look them up before I completely write off this band?

[SergeiMikhaus]

@cateran0101 I think it's definitely inspired by that sort of djenty sound, but I really like this song nonetheless.

I don't think you can fairly say it's a rip off without calling all the other bands who borrow meshuggah's sound rip offs too, which is not the case.

However, the other oceansize songs don't really have this sound, it's more progressive rock/post rock. I love Unfamiliar and Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs. It's just wonderful.

[RedSandStudios]

@cateran0101 Nothing else by Oceansize sounds like this, so you definitely shouldn't dismiss them just because of this one song. 

[Zen5887]

@cateran0101 What, you think there is anything original anymore? Good artists borrow.

[awalczak08]

@cateran0101 You should listen to the two more closely. Same time signature, sure. Different riff. I would be a little surprised to hear that 'Size listens to Meshuggah.

[ScrapBrainMusic]

The jump from Everyone Into Position to Frames was ridiculous. They just started working on a totally different musical level with this album, they almost sound like a different band for most of it, but in a really, really good way. This song especially is just so fucking bizarre in so many ways, but it has to be one of my favorite 'Size tracks ever.

[Drumstoo]

I first heard this in a Japanese department store.

[HalfStepTides]

This is definitely a legendary Oceansize track, but in all fairness, if you're absolutely new to 'Size, and someone else directs you to this song for a first listen, they're a fucking cuntbag.

If you see this and this is your first listen, stop this song, and go listen to Trail of Fire, No Tomorrow, Music For A Nurse, and Ornament/ The Last Wrongs.

Then listen to every release in chronological order; you'll soon realize they're the greatest band ever. True story.

[handyguy007]

5:42, i spent like an hour trying to figure out what the drummer does there!!

[lastexile1187]

@handyguy007 eh? what do you mean??

[handyguy007]

@lastexile1187 Like, what how many octaves he plays and in what time it is.

[lastexile1187]

@handyguy007 good luck figuring that out man :D i can play along to 99% of this song by just listening to it as i play :) maybe its more clear in the other live videos of this song (i mean the Feed to Feed live version) ;)

[iRoxC]

Wait I thought this was Meshuggah for a second.

[cornbettle]

THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SLIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKSSSS­SSSSSSS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD ONNNNNNNNNNNN YOUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRR FACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[webbguitar]

2 people are CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNTs

[Horomaru]

I'll never understand the lyrics but good God, this music is gold.

[Paradis80]

If only this band could drop their egos and hire a fucking vocalist... jesus. talking about a wailing jenny.

[shaftahoy]

@Paradis80 I'd put money on that not happening, seeing as they're not together anymore...

[wastagwaga]

@Paradis80 you's trawlin'.

[Paradis80]

@wastagwaga

Nah. someone pointed me towards this band. told me check it out. there's flashes of good tunes here, but they could've just gone instrumental or brought someone in who didn't sound like they swallowed a lemon.

[RedSandStudios]

@Paradis80 Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Most people who listen to this band really like Mike's voice. He is unique, which is good. There are just too many singers with derivative voices out there today.

[cornishpastie9]

@Paradis80

In fairness the vocals sound nothing like this on most of their songs. I think they were just going for a really extreme sound on this track. Listen to most of their stuff, there's no screaming at all. But, personally, I think it works here.

[Lordkaiber]

J'ai découvert ce groupe avec ce morceau, depuis, je ne peu plus m'en passer ^^

Une bombe est lachée, ce groupe fait partie de la nouvelle garde du Rock !!

Merçi Oceansize

[Snardbafulator]

Nahh, this isn't post-rock; there's nothing textural about it. Strikes me as in a Mr. Bungle bag, without the po-mo stylistic pastiche. Better'en Bungle, tho and I don't say that lightly. Their fluidity with odd meter shifts on this tune is astounding, their chords perfectly chosen. Notice they all wear earpieces; a click-track to keep them together? I hope not, but hey. Haven't liked music in this general genre so much since Blotted Science; I think I like this tune even more than they.

[theflyingmadcap]

@Snardbafulator Admitedly this track isnt that post but they do have a real post rock feel to their music

[rockdahaus]

@Snardbafulator Nahh, the earpieces are monitoring to hear each other. If you lock to every live Video of these Band or Maiden, Metallica, etc. etc. All wearing in-ear-monitoring to the others, and to hear themselves.

A cool divice

[Snardbafulator]

@rockdahaus Oh, okay -- to replace stage monitors, gotcha. I should've thought of that instantly. Much better because feedback and directionality would never be an issue. I'd guess it's all wireless ...

[rockdahaus]

@Snardbafulator Yes, indeed

[shaftahoy]

@Snardbafulator What's wrong with a click track? People who say click tracks are worthless generally just don't know how to play with a click track

[Snardbafulator]

@shaftahoy In the studio nothing I can see. Using click-tracks live means it's one less parameter that can breathe spontaneously, which is a greater or lesser issue depending on the style of music. Hey, one of my favorite bands, Cardiacs, played all their later stuff with recorded tracks live, which is the functional equivalent of using a click track.

A click track would be less well-advised depending on the degree of improvisation.

[DhieP9]

when i heard the record i thought they were using 7string guitar

[ScrapBrainMusic]

@DhieP9 They do 7 string tunings on 6 strings, it's pretty cool. Part Cardiac off the new album is in drop G...

[Knutorius]

@ScrapBrainMusic

a little bit lower and they could hang their laundry on it to dry..

[audiogarden]

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnT

[MrSebastian1050]

I think this band describe a new age of progressive music...is challenge for me.thanks

[cornishpastie9]

@MrSebastian1050

It's called post-rock. You'll love it.

[JurricaChiannaNycole]

one of my favorite songs by them, under Savant but close.

[46lar]

Is that Al Murray the Pub Landlord on guitar?

[glassgraves]

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUNT

[46lar]

@glassgraves Indeed

[bigjobandlongman]

Is that Meshuggahs singer on drums?

[GreatPelicanMan]

@bigjobandlongman If by 'Meshuggah singer Jens Kidman' you mean 'Oceansize drummer Mark Heron' then yes =)

[nmh2112]

@bigjobandlongman i lol'd

[Vool5]

they are so excelent live.

[murrayg]

This song is frickin awesome. Give the feel of this, and the Meshuggah comments, anyone interested in either band should give Cloudkicker a spin. Its where Ocensize and the 'Shug meet and have sexy babies: cloudkicker.bandcamp.com/track­/were-goin-in-were-going-down

[misellus7]

@murrayg Thank you so much my friend :)

[coolbraz]

why don't music videos ever look this genuine?

[DavySolaris]

5:06 - 5:25 = weirdest fucking thing ever. Especially when you associate oceansize with the more lush, epic stuff, like I used to do until I heard this song. Probably my favourite off Frames, it's batshit.

[madpaintbalerx]

The guitars are soooo low. Haha

[bkchickfarmer91]

Anybody else think this is just Meshuggah?

[grapefruitboy]

@bkchickfarmer91 you might wanna read previous commentss

[PudWud1]

@bkchickfarmer91 did you even listen to the rest of the song after the opening riff?

[scottiehenry]

@bkchickfarmer91 seriously? really? I hate the fact how people even think sikth are a rip off meshuggah, let alone comparing OCEANSIIZE to them, I know what you mean though the first 15 does determin the whole song really.....ehem.

[robslater90]

@bkchickfarmer91 No, it's better though. :)

[BaTuLoG87]

Kasabian Core !

[saikatanas]

I'm starting with oceansize and please don't say they are better vthan meshuggah cause they go somewhere with their melodic chorus and stuff, Their good, i can tell that already but meshuggah are gods, even so i don't think i should compare something so diferent in terms of which is the final objective for each one of the bands. I like Amplifier better so far but a deeper look at oceansize maybe changes that, we will see... Anyway i love this song riff, and the one in the 6:00 is brilliant...

[NostalgicProcrast]

They sound so amazing live!!!

[nasnederis]

"The slime... looks so good on your face... one for charm... one for disgrace... CUNT!!! And in the back of the truck I'll find the antidote... and all the passengers know it's time to jump the boat... your children will remember... every word you say... never doubt that youre leading them astray... but you're welcome... youre welcome... but he cannot console 'cause he swallowed it whole!"

[aJazzcat]

my favorite from "Frames" by far! =D

[madeofmetal7067]

I prefer this stuff to Meshuggah much more. While Meshuggah is fun to listen to, they get boring to me after a while because they really do the same thing in each song (imo), whereas this utilizes their sound and "goes somewhere" with it, like the melodic chorus and such.

[thepatientool]

does anyone exept me hears the parallels between this and meshuggahs catch thirtythree intro?

[Spenc2010]

@thepatientool I hear it. The riff in Autonomy Lost is very similar. Granted, probably in a different key. Both octave-based. Both in an odd signature. They're playing in a dropped tuning. That's why some people are thinking "Meshuggah" right now.

[KackeEgal]

Meshuggah riffs.

[Boooby]

man this is great.

[tommyg99]

I would marry Mike Vennart, were he not left-handed.

...or a man.

[mydyingnorma]

3:24 scared the shit outta me. whats that person in the background for!?

[lastexile1187]

@mydyingnorma Its a dolls head with a light shining on it :P

[goatwithgonorrhea]

2:40 he thinks that its real, but hes got it all......WRONG!!!!

[ArtOfPhire]

Djent as fook.

[fasterbicio]

does anyone know what's the name of this DVD?? please help me guys!

[james335]

It's the DVD that came with some copies of the album I believe.

[titusbeertsen]

Haha these guys have been listening to Meshuggah too much, just listen to that first riff! :)

[Alexjbeily]

yeah totally :P

[bobdilljesus]

yeah like autonomy lost

[madpaintbalerx]

The original title of this song was Meshuggah :P

[PadenNorelle]

I love this song so so much! Amazing doesn't even describe it!

[nicholaswatmough]

3:26 What the hell is that in the background?!

[RandomVandals1]

my fav bit is the crazy synth guitar plus vocal randomness at 4:57 i mean wtf

[madpaintbalerx]

This song is insanely crazy, and yet, it works :P

[seaptown]

this song is just ridiculous...but friggin amazing. oceansize are one of the best bands around.

[MikeoWar]

This is just... Too good :D It's music on another level.

[Almazalin]

[timmotjo17]

one of the most heavy songs by oceansize. i wanna scream everytime i hear it

[Danishcore]

[DexterLaevus]

these guys are so unbelievable!!!

[Mushman34]

Understandable that the working title for this track was Meshuggah! Took them about 3 minutes to tune their guitars for this one first time I saw it live. CUUUUUUUUUUUUUU*T!

[supershiva11]

they tune their guitars so fucking low, my god

[capndarkduck]

fucking YES!

[guiguidejarrie]

Unbelievable !!

[ramajamalam]
