Is the Teargarden stuff before Oceania any good or similar to Oceania?
I only ask because I've been curious how someone who had never heard them or isn't a big fan perceives this album... its been getting decent reviews and I'm wondering if it is coming from newer fans who don't know how good their older stuff is. While I'm happy for them... And while the album is enjoyable somewhat... It truly does not stack up to their classic material.

As for the Teargarden stuff, yeah it's similar to Oceania so you might enjoy it if you like that. I'm not really a fan of that, though.
