Album Review

Workingman bands can't get nowhere in the new millennium — but that doesn't mean that they're needed any less. Ocean Colour Scene make the most of being among the last of a dying breed by ignoring their impending extinction, carrying on with the same moddish rock-n-soul that's been their trademark since abandoning swirling Madchester beats for Motown/Tamla bounce on Moseley Shoals.

There are no new wrinkles — a previously unrecorded Paul Weller song can't be called unexpected — but On the Leyline is solid and satisfying, the way a record by a working band should be.

Go to Sea- just what I need.

The Power of music nourishes our inner souls.This Rock!!! but what do I know I'm naked. Give "go to Sea" a try...

(Most of) This album is off the chain

This album is refreshingly new and has a really nice sound. The vocals are sweet and the music is great. A definite buy!

Although they had formed in the late '80s and had several hits during the height of Madchester in the early '90s, the band didn't earn a large following until 1996, when their second album, Moseley Shoals, became a multi-platinum success story in the U.K. Their ascent was greatly...
