Should be already here by now. Im crazy to check them out.

Unless these last 4 songs really blow me away, this may go down as the biggest disappointment of 2010. I LOVE Precambrian and was expecting big things, but it's clear that when the old singer left, so did the quality of the band.

Reading a lot of negative things about this release, except from people are are actually huge fans of The Ocean and not just passerby listeners, which say it is incredibly good. I LOVE The Ocean, and my copy of Helio is coming soon, so I cant wait to judge it myself.

No listening to the stream, waiting for my hard copy

I have Fluxion and Precambrian which I think are both really good albums, and I plan on getting Aeolian soon because I like what I've heard of it. So I consider myself a fan and not just a passerby. I think if you can get used to the new vocals, you'll probably like the album. I'm just don't dig them, but maybe they'll grow on me with more listens. I'm glad the preorder comes with a shirt, cause otherwise I'd be really disappointed when my preorder arrives.

I love Fogdiver, Fluxeon, Aeolian and Precambrian...The new vocals - I don't like...

Pretty much all albums in The Oceans disco are incredibly different. So just think of this new album not as a regression in sound, but a different style. Flux is totally different then Aeolian, which is completely different from Precambrian. I excepted this to be totally different as well, so I'm excited to hear it. For the most part though, the band themselves said that Anthropocentric will be one of their heaviest albums yet. Which is very exciting to hear since Aeolian was heavy and raw as hell, so epic. Can't wait to hear new singers growls on that.

And I agree with you about the pre-order, if I do end up not liking it, least I can say 'I listened to this crappy album and all I got was this t-shirt'
