Following up to Effloresce was never going to be easy, the epic 75 minute album. Highly anticipated, and a mere 25 mins, here's how Music for Nurses shapes up:
1. One out of nONE - most advanced musically, lovely blend between the melodic side and heavy side of the band. Even warming to the shouty, screamy bits - shock horror. Fantastic song, which i imagine is bettered live.
2. Paper Champion - Intro jangly guitar is just like the one on Long Forgotten...or Teardrop by Massive Attack, nice lil bass riff and a great atmospheric song. Never really kicks off as much as i'd expect though, kinda stays understated but in a good way.
3. Drag the 'nal - Lovely little instrumental, perfect as an intro for the following track.
4. Dead Dogs an' All Sorts - My favourite track at the moment, builds just like SMBS so mellow at the start, and blended beautifully with Drag the 'nal and As the Smoke Clears. Building songs up to epic proportions is definitely Oceansize's forté.
5. As the Smoke Clears - Again, builds brilliantly with the crashing guitars, nice long'un to round off the e.p perfectly leaving you waiting for more. Quickly becoming the most innovative and greatest British bands of our time.

Oceansize are easily the best band in the UK right now. This e.p. proves it. It is original and very ambitious, not many bands could pull it off. The cd sticks with the quiet/loud structure of effloresce but this time the loud bits are even louder. There is shouting and distorted vocals. Paper champion sounds like massive attack remixing tool, the band has definatly evolved. It does take quite a few listens, i was dissapointed at first but now it is almost as good as thier debut.
...if u get the chance to see them live dont hesitate. i saw these songs played live in manchester recently. best band ive seen all year!!

A couple of years ago a nuclear explosion detonated within the British music scene as Oceansize created a crater large enough to bury the competition, with the almighty and instantly engaging Effloresce album.No surprises then that the eagerly awaited E.P. follow up Music for nurses would stutter slightly in comparison. Where theyre long player grabbed the listener immediately with its grace and power, M.F.N.is one of those C.ds ipods were made for as it takes many more listens before it reveals its not insubstantial charms. While it cannot be of question that Oceansize are a rare talent M.F.N. doesnt quite find them in genius mode, more like overachiever mode.
