Glorious

"If you're looking for glorious music, look no further. TOB is, to use one of their song titles, sublime! There isn't one boring or bad track on this album; all the tracks work together to create a whole."Sublime" was their big hit in the early 90's, and it really sold me on the band. In the days when everyone was grunged-out, screaming, and shrieking their guitars, TOB offered quite, subtle, soothing music which made me think that there was beauty in the world after all. BTRAS is one of the few CD's I own that I can listen to without skipping tracks. Other songs on it that I highly recommend (even though they're all good) are "Crash" and "Emotions Ring."Glorious!!"

This disc is so "Sublime".

"Too bad almost nobody has ever heard of these guys, but good for me. I actually like their self-titled album more, but this is nearly as great. This album has a very pleasing vibe, it's alt-pop, upbeat, mellow, and everything I like. The track "Sublime" was a minor hit, and is incredibly catchy. Other good songs are "Either Or", "Ice Skating At Night", and "Crash", even though I like them all. If you like that early 90's brit-pop sound at all, you should really like "Beneath The Rhythm & Sound". It'll give you "Peace Of Mind"."

I bitterly regret Horst Meisterfluscher

"I bitterly regret the inclusion of the unforgivably homophobic Horst Meisterfluscher's review and his apparent unnending ignorance. The Ocean Blue is a cool band. Check 'em out. This CD is good as is most of their stuff. Perfect in about any mix because nothing sounds like them, mellow and inticing. Great stuff."
