"but maudlin never made the same album twice"



True (if you count Bath/LYBM as one album), but every maudlin album sounds like a different shade of maudlin, whereas every Kayo album (apart from Choirs/Dowsing and Gamma/Hubardo) sounds like a totally different band.

"Wow a prog metal band with shit artwork, not that it's all that important."



Haha, this is one of my favorite pieces of album art ever

one of the hardest of Toby's stuff to get into yet probably the first I'd rec to a neophyte

Album Rating: 4.0

This is hardly metal tho

yup that's why, my bird is more into classical/folk/calmerweirder music so I think she could dig it as a starter

Since I learned that the chances that I get to hear Excerpt From 6,000,000,000,000 miles live at the end of August are high I'm seriously trying to get my hands on a vinyl copy of this...



...one of you guys own it on vinyl. I know it. And I'm sure for the right price you'd be willing to send it over to little old me.

Did you just quote/reply to a 6 year old quote.

yep!

don't think anyone else addressed it and i know the reviewer won't see it, but it bothered me all the same

Album Rating: 4.5

Alright, I get where you're coming from I guess. Isos are cool but yeah I agree, it's hardly a novice concept.



You seriously have to hear this. Everything about this album is just magnificent. It takes a big step away from the metal influence present on bath/lybm but it still is very distinctly maudlin. It's so damn close to a 5.0 for me but I just can't do it yet. It hasn't had that listen yet.

yeah what you were saying regarding the accessibility made me pretty stoked to check this out. i love the inclusion of metal in their sound but i probably prefer the softer, more melodic stuff

Album Rating: 4.5

only heard the first track on this but holy fuck its a hard 10/10

Album Rating: 4.7

The first track is fantastic, gets this started marvellously

Album Rating: 4.5

If you prefer the softer more melodic stuff then boy are you in for a ride.



Excerpt is a definite 6,000,000,000,000/10. Laboratories however is like a 6,000,000,000,100/10.



Also what the hell listen to this you scrub.
