Album Notes & Community Reviews

Introducing Jonny Craig's soulful vocal delivery alongside Jon Mess's visceral screams, 'Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean' established the blueprint for the Sacramento group's highly technical, eccentric sound. The record's frantic riffing and shifting tempos popularized the math-infused post-hardcore style that would dominate the alternative scene.
