am I actually supposed to blog about metal?

Because I'm really digging THE OCEAN right now. Specifically, the track Grand Inquisitor II, which every time I'm listening through the album, that track jumps out at me as being immediately awesome. These guys are really talented - they are basically a prog-metal band (esp. with the whole 'ocean' theme) but they feel like a post-metal band, by way of concentrating on being melodic rather than super-aggressive.
