An Ocean Between Us might officially be the album that defined the band; or in other words, it's their best release. I believe what justified this album to become what it is was because of the production and how strong the essence in the music and the band's belief in Christianity were used. The latter may not mean anything relevant, but knowing the band also settled in a lineup that carried with them since without any more changes could mean they perfected their sound.
First, I'll start by saying the band went to work with Adam D., whom I credit as the best metalcore producer; most definitely bringing out more out of the band, as well as more life out of the music. I'm also under the impression that the music and lyrical themes are stronger than ever, still performing under thrash metal influence - which since the band's debut this might be their first mature record.
Just to showcase the tracklist, this is the first record that features entirely original tracks without any re-recordings. Still releasing a 12-track record, An Ocean Between Us has a prelude and an interlude tied with the other ten available tracks. The prelude, Separation doesn't really sound unique and features some slow guitar melodies. As for the interlude to the song Wrath Upon Ourselves, Departed features faster and catchy guitar melodies, yet isn't any more different.
Nothing Left is overall a catchy, cleaner metalcore track. The weak background melody in the chorus complements the singing very well. That's just one aspect of the song, while it's standard at best and not bad for the album... so far. The title track is mostly groovy, yet standard as well. But the addition of the clean vocals in the chorus sound great, which didn't make the song sound typical. While it's the longest track on the album, Forsaken showcased a different style of riffing and sound that comes from the guitars that stand out from most of the album's offering. The clean vocals sound fantastic, too, so are the drums. It's funny how on my Frail Worlds Collapse review I mentioned that Distance Is Darkness resembles Deftones, yet the opening of I Never Wanted sounds like Deftones's famous song, Change (In the House of Flies. Anyway, I Never Wanted's length gave the song more depth on all instrumental and vocal aspects. The clean vocals, especially, were pretty powerful during the bridge/outro.
Within Destruction I think it is the first song from the band that truly sounds like thrash metal. The problem with this song, despite the influence, is how unoriginal it sounds. Another annoyingly thrash metal song is Comfort Betrays. Hell, even its length says it all. Not any different than the aforementioned thrash metal song. Bury Us All was more like it, meaning it didn't feature that worthless thrash metal influence. However, it's just a generic, short metalcore track. The Sound of Truth sounds predictable, structure-wise. Compared to the songs in the paragraph above, this one pales in comparison. Wrath Upon Us surely sounds like an improvement in terms of the thrash metal influence, but again... nobody really asked for it. It's funny that even the clean vocals sound bad. This Is Who We Are sounds like what the title suggests which means overall, the song didn't sound as bad but not great either.
With the bad thrash metal influence and following the same direction from Shadows Are Security but ending up worse, the music hasn't changed or sounded any different, let alone improved. The so-called claim that this is their best album sounds like a slap to the face. Sure it's more melodic in one way, but I believe there was room for a wider range within the music. And no disrespect towards Adam for his production, but I wouldn't count this as a quality work to his credit. Best songs are Nothing Left, Forsaken, and I Never Wanted.
