People need to stop trashing 'without feathers', that is one great record. Problems is these reviewers only listen to it once, not like the people who appreciate it, the fans.

Yes! The Stills are back. After a fairly disappointing change of direction for their last album - it took many spins and months for me to even like it - album #3 finds the band finally get the right footing. Combining the bestaspects of "Logic Will Break Your Heart" and "Without Feathers" into a unified sound, "Oceans Will Rise" is a solid, consistent winner. There's not a single track here I don't like. It's also nice to see Tim Fletcher back in the forefront of the band again, as I much prefer his singing to Dave Hamelin's - which was one of the other failings of the second album. I have no hesitation in proclaiming this one of the year's best!

awesome noisy songs seem to cover up the songs of lesser strength, but still good!
Jen F. gave it a10:
This is a terrific CD . Can't understand some critics trying to demolish it . Ratings by the public have certainly proved them wrong. Well done lads ! Sir Paul McCartney did well to choose you to open his concert in Quebec city on July 20th.
George L. gave it a10:
Just love the hooks...This is back to the original sound of Logic will break your heart. Kudo guys!
John gave it a9:
