OSI (Tool OR Pink Floyd Fans)

[Psilo707]

Don't remember ever posting about them but they are one of the biggest sleeper "ROCK" bands in the last decade imo.

They are obviously geared to be a year 2000+ pink floyd, and some might say "copy cats" though I dont think thats fair because they have their own sound. Its just really similar. Some of the songs are like Tool as well, (the first one I post being the most like something Maynard would create).

They have 2 albums, and Im only posting stuff from the first one because its better... even though the 2nd one is good, I think people should definitely start with their debut, which is an album you can play ALL the way through and be sucked in the whole way without it letting up. Powerful, powerful shit.


If you like the songs ill up the whole CD.

Shutdown (this is the Tool-ish one)
Helicopter
Head


If you like progressive rock, youll dig them, I guarantee it.

all i know is you put tool and pink floyd in the same sentence as this band so if they are anything but the greatest rock band of all time its going to be a huge letdown and you are going to have to adjust your comparisons accordingly

 

[Psilo707]

They are definitely not as good as either, not even close.


I just meant style wise, you can expect similar types of sound.

No such thing as a group as good as either of those two, within their respective genres

OSI is the SHIIIIT.

I liked the first album better than Free, but its still good.

If you like them, check out Porcupine Tree, thats where the drummer is from.

Yeah, mike portnoy fucking rocks! most people here will probably know him as the Dream Theatre drummer.

Cool im glad at least someone else has heard 'em/

Dream Theatre has some OK stuff, alotta people dont like them. I like Porcupine Tree alot and OSI outranks them both.
