Back To Best 26 July 2003
Format:Audio CD
I bought this album on the spur of the moment, wasnt planned but glad I did. Ocean Colour Scene prove once again that they are one of the best creative UK bands around. Unfortunatley they have missed out on the spotlight for some reason, maybe this has lead them to produce some of the best mainstream music that is not classed as popular. They have created an album which will appeal to all age groups, mixing acoustic guitar with uk rock music with a throwback to the super successful Moseley Shoals. The Track "On My Way" is probably the best driving / sing-a-long track they have ever produced, an album that grows on you the more you listen to it. Fantatsic, Buy It, you wont be dissapointed.

By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I gave up on new pop/rock music for about ten years, not liking very much of what was played on the radio, happy to play 60's to 80's music which I knew I liked. So when I heard a song called "Make The Deal" one Saturday afternoon in the car I thought that's really good and made a mental note of the groups name, I had known vaguely of their existence, but not of what they were about. Well I bought the album, a bit of a risk not knowing much about them, but I can't stop playing it. It is easily the best album I have heard for years. It makes Travis's 12 Memories sound like insipid muzak.
There are so many excellent tracks but "She's Been Writing" is now one of my favourite songs of all time! and any of half a dozen of the songs could have made me buy this album. One track I don't like too much is, the first single, "I Just Need Myself" if this was all I had heard I would never have bought it so never judge an album by the what is deemed to be the ideal single. I have now started buying their back catalogue of albums and hope I am pleased by what I find.

OCS - Summer 2003 16 July 2003
By OCS Fan
Format:Audio CD
North Atlantic Drift kicks off with ‘I Just Need Myself’, following in the footsteps of opening tracks like ‘The Riverboat Song’ and ‘Hundred Mile High City’ – a great, upbeat beginning that sets the scene for the next 45 minutes. There is always the chance with new albums that the band may completely change the style which has brought them the fanbase, but it was a relief to hear some trademark tracks that don’t disappoint.
I bought the album not having heard any of the songs, which can be a risk, but having bought ‘Mechanical Wonder’ two summers ago and never growing tired of repeated listenings, I had faith that ‘NAD’ would be of similar class.
Title track ‘North Atlantic Drift’ is simply excellent and on first listen is firmly planted in your mind. It is rare for me to instantly click with a new album, but songs such as ‘I Just Need Myself’, ‘For Every Corner’, and of course, the aforementioned ‘NAD’, are perfect the first time round.
It’s so often the case that when a band have been around for a while their material becomes tired, but this is certainly not so with OCS. They have the talent to consistently release music that is fresh and only gets better with every listen. North Atlantic Drift is an album that should be in everyone’s collection this summer, standing up well alongside soundtracks to summer 1996 featured on Moseley Shoals.

One of their best
As a massive fan of OCS, i love this album. Definitely one of their best releases. Not a bad track on it. I Just Need Myself and On My Way are excellent. A must for any fan.

Meanwhile Rome burns....
2003 is not a year remembered for an album release by OCS. However they did indeed faithfully put another one out, so to speak. Read more

The boys are back in town
There's a good mix of upbeat songs (I Just Need Myself, Oh Collector, On My Way) and more downbeat, and in the case of She's Been Writing, depressing songs which give the album... Read more
