It is a shame sometimes when a band does get overshadowed by many others in its genre. By the 2000's progressive rock had a little resurgence especially with bands like Porcupine Tree and The Mars Volta taking the lead and shining during this period but due to this Oceansize doesn't get as much as the previous 2 and well with have arguably their best and most famous release Frames.
Frames, uses many elements of Post-Rock to create an atmospheric but subtle listen but some tracks can be be a bit too long and sometimes the ideas aren't as fleshed out as they could be but it is still a great 2000's progressive release with a nice slow build up and strong pay-off to them.
