This is probably the best OCS album along with Mosely Shoals. The singles "Traveller's Tune" and "Hundred Mile High City" are probably the best example of OCS. I would recomend this album to be the first to get. I listen to it in the car, at home, on the bus, I play along to it on my guitar, and now my mum is listening to it! If that don't persuade ya then I give up. 10 out of 10!!!!

Not even Ocean Colour Scene, who peaked with this late 90's britpop classic. The moment Steve Cradock starts with the opening to Hundred Mile High City, to the crescendo finish of It's A Beautiful Thing, the music is ebgulfing. Not since the the late 70's era of Queen and the Sex Pistls could a frontman be so charismatic. Not since Clapton or Hendrix could guitar sound so emotive. Not since ever was a bassist so cool. Not since Keith Moon a drummer/percusionnist with as much raw talent. And it shows. 13 tunes, a range of styles; from the roar of hundred mile high city to the pure emotion of better day to the folky besides yourself on to the crashing all up. Ocean Colour Scene excelled in writing music for the time. Although Moseley Shoals may have fared better, Marchin' Already is more complete. It is, however, not above criticism. Owing much to Weller, The Jam, Queen and 60's Britpop, this was not new cutting edge material. What it is, is a britpop album filled with tunes, crowd pullers, songs you remember entire summers by. A soundtrack for those who were there. Even if you weren't, listening to Marchin' Already, you feel as though you are there. Not the greatest album of all time, but buy probably in the top 10 from the 90's. No egos, no extras, just pure brilliant music

'Get Blown Away' is my favourite song of all time. Just listen to those lyrics and you'll be blown away right enough.
But this album is full of classics!
From the riff of 'Hundred Mile High', the bass on 'All Up' and Simon's vocals on 'Foxy's Folk Faced', the word perfection springs to mind. The strength of tune from track to track, this really puts all those pretentious one-hit wonders to shame.
So under-rated were the OCS during the Brit Pop era, but looking back it's obvious that they on music terms were by far the best.

Marchin indeed
Apart from other great tunes, this album is worth buying just for traveller's tune. An immense song. Great video to the song, too!

The one after Mosely Shoals
This is the follow up to 1996's Mosely Shoals. It had a lot to live up to and I think it holds it's own. When released it knocked Oasis off the top of the album charts. Read more

Pat Arnold pops up and Brendan's at the desk....
As a follow up to 1996's leaner "Mosely Shoals", this feels like a sprawling album with a folky feel in places. Read more

Is there better? I think not...
From Hundred Mile High to It's A Beautiful Thing, every single track on this phoenominal album keeps you singing all day long. Well done OCS on the best album i have ever heard!
