Well there is null newborn to be offered by The Stills in their ordinal installation, but i hit to say, i rattling had a beatific instance with Oceans Will Rise, whatever sway follower would definitely fuck this album. 
The Stills’ Oceans Will Rise has a rattling beatific prototypal notion upon quantity “Don’t Talk Down”. The penalization is rattling catchy, and The Stills’ vocals on this road was astonishingly good. “Don’t don’t speech downbound to me, don’t don’t speech downbound to me, your nous is agitated lateral to side, your nous is agitated lateral to side..” Correct me if im wrong, i hit a artefact to conceive that this strain is most love-making. Perhaps fit if you’re most to do it. I rattling fuck Don’t Talk Down, the penalization is rattling bouncy.
“Snow In California” has an inaugural that rattling resembles “Heavyweight Champion Of The World” by denomination and The Makers. No kidding! But erst it began to garner up, the vocalise came in with whatever electronic elements to it which beatific dead good. Throughout this flooded song, there were whatever variety of electronic penalization to it. It’s a enthusiastic essay by The Stills to essay to add whatever varieties to their music. This is no doubt, a enthusiastic effort.
“Snakecharming The Masses” has a unearthly title. But don’t intend me wrong, unearthly doesn’t stingy bad. Non-stop activity of the vocalise crapper be heard throughout in this track, and i rattling stingy non-stop. At times, it measured same whatever mount songs. One the ordinal poetise came in, it got louder. This strain is same a test, investigating Tim’s vocal, on assorted notes and pitches, having Tim to emit and vocalization at whatever points. But Tim prefabricated it worth your while, he did vantage Snakecharming The Masses off.
“Being Here” measured same The Stills are informing a news of their own. How they got to where they are today. Lovely track. I don’t undergo how would you see when you center to this song. But i crapper see their pain, their experience and most importantly their travelling as The Stills. This strain is blasting and flooded of vocalise riff, bass, drums and keyboards. With the troupe of “Being Here…”, this strain is an anthem soured Oceans Will Rise.
On “Everything I Build”, The Stills slowed it downbound and for a moment, i crapper see as if The Stills are melodic acoustically. This strain is same a build-up for Tim to release, there was a instance where Tim yelled, “Drink a lowercase bit, that’s a lowercase bit, verify a chance, or retrograde it all, i hit no regret no regrets, when I’m ornamentation from the ordinal floor”. I crapper see his letting discover at the literal moment. At the chorus, Tim sang, “Everything I physique is breaking down…”. Despair crapper be heard in Tim’s vocalise as he sang.
“Panic” starts soured with whatever curious-creating vocalise line. To me, i conceive this strain is most existence fright whenever something goes wrong. Honestly, instead of existence panic, i rattling fuck this song. The vocalise came in at the correct instance everytime to tie the bass. Really amazing. And when Tim sang, “Panic… Panic”. It was meet so simple, but still you can’t support but to fuck this song. Enjoy panic!
“Eastern Europe” has a rattling hard and communicable offer to it. The vocalise of this strain prefabricated it impracticable not to be heard and intend noticed. And the lyrics had a rattling unfathomable message to it and i can’t verify what The Stills were disagreeable to deliver. Meaning aside, this road scored a bounteous instance in its music, the vocalise especially. 
“Hands on Fire” are an indie imbibe sway song. Very cordial to your ear. It crapper be an fast broadcasting artist and obtain lots of broadcasting airplay. At prototypal listen, the vocalise module command you, attended with the unceasing drums playing. It’s much a fit strain for the season holidays. When it comes to the chorus, Tim permit it out, “My safekeeping are on fire, my safekeeping are on fire..” It’s rattling good!
“Dinosaurs” is additional road that is flooded of blasting vocalise riff and what an indie adornment would do prizewinning if you provide them guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, auscultation and so on. In Dinosaurs, Tim herb in a draggy artefact to meet the track’s pacing and beat. It’s not a intense road though.
“I’m With You” is somewhat kindred to Hands On Fire. It’s rattling broadcasting cordial and the penalization has whatever season elements in it, making it a amend strain for season holidays. I meet fuck the part, “If you conceive in me, i’ll conceive in you, i’m with you, if you poverty me to…” The continuation of “I’m with you” is rattling good.
“Rooibos/Palm Wine Drinkard” is the daylong road on the album, spanning over 5:47 transactions long. It has digit parts, where the ordinal conception comes in at roughly 1:37 minutes. The prototypal conception of this strain is crunchy and loud. Filled with Tim’s yellings and moanings and at times, when the vocalise was at its unaccompanied point, it change same something with imp is coming. When it came to the ordinal part, it quietened down. Background penalization were filled with sounds of the beach and membranophone drums until the end. A tranquil artefact to modify the song.
“Statue of Sirens” is a enthusiastic artefact to modify the album. It’s an curative road with Tim’s showcasing his husky and unfathomable voice. You crapper center the vocalise on a unceasing activity fashion to play Tim’s vocalise throughout the flooded track. At times, the rest of The Stills module tie Tim as scenery vocals. It wouldn’t be daylong when you actualise this road closes Oceans Will Rise.
Rating: Oceans Will Rise by The Stills is not intense at all. They proven adding in whatever newborn varities to attain it sounds fresher. Honestly, i same Oceans Will Rise. If you study it with Without Feathers, definitely you’d encounter that The Stills hit condemned additional travel to a newborn approach. This instance The Stills additional whatever electronic elements to their sound, which i conceive was remarkable. They managed to prefabricated a disagreement to Oceans Will Rise. There were whatever rattling memorable tracks worth mentioning and crediting, championship up by enthusiastic penalization playing, the genuine call of The Stills. Frankly, i evaluate them 7.0 discover of 10. Cheers!
