Maybe Today, Maybe Tomorrow, album review

 

We are the Ocean (WATO) have had an interesting year. After Dan Brown left the band in June, the Essex four-piece have revamped their style, moving more towards the punk genre. In the midst of the release of their new album, Maybe Today, Maybe Tomorrow, they’ve been touring all over the UK with the Lost Prophets, and it looks as though they will be ending the year on a high.

Maybe Today, Maybe Tomorrow is in my opinion their best album yet. Previously my all-time favourite release was Go Now and Live, with memorable tracks such as “The Waiting Room” and “Now & Then”. But there are some superb tracks on the new album which show just how much WATO have matured with their music over the past few years. The album is more punk than rock, and shows where they’ve been heading as a band. “Bleed” and “Young Heart” are two stand out tracks from the album, and with lyrics like; “Bleed for the money that they need/it’s so full of greed/it’s so full of greed”, it’s no wonder why they’ve been such a hit with fans. It’s a brilliant album, and could well be the release that expands their fan base ten-fold. Below is the official video for “The Road”, a track from the new album.
