I love how dark and malicious this sounds-like being trapped underneath a sewage grate with a stab wound in your chest left by the cannibalistic tribe that lurks beneath.

Dalek's only fault is really that they employ a one-lane technique of song-writing, or rather rely on their undeniably raw and ready delivery to carry the subpar tunework, stretched as it is so often to 6 or 7 minutes per track. They do justify those runtimes with some heavy industrial rock inspired production and gnarly, clever penmanship, yet the lack of variety in sound does make itself known after a few listens.

Density and the powers that lie within your atypical thinking men are what Absence is marked with the most. Throughout the album's 57-minute length, Newark, New Jersey-based alternative hip hop phalanx Dalek take the listener on a journey that is equal parts headlong, unwavering, and simply smart. With a production style that incorporates stylistic elements of noise, ambient, and one dose of the avant-garde, this trio's 2005 studio album can do many things right and then some. It justifies closer examination and syrupy toasts in order to soak in the material displayed on the record. Basically speaking, Absence is entertaining and simultaneously creative given the approach that Dalek took, thereby making for an ultimately captivating experience.
