2.5 average | Xenophanes EMERITUS | August 15th 19 | With each release, Kayo Dot inch away from being a great band with a few bad albums to a bad band with a few great albums.

4.5 superb | kamodoft | September 10th 19 | When spotify told me about the first release, blasphemy, I was pissed. Felt like Toby betrayed me. Then it told me about the hook one, whatever it's called. I listened to that and liked when it shifted into the weird vox/synth, and was like... if these are the best singles on the album, I'm literally breaking up with KD forever.rThen the album came out and I listened on my phone, and wrote it off. Then listened in my car. Then headphones. And now I can't stop listening to it. I would have given it a fucking 0 but now I'm up to 4.5. I feel like this is Toby applying how insanely weird he is to "singer songwriter" music. It doesn't really feel like KD anymore though. I do feel like he should have released this as a kind of dressed up solo album. rBut honestly so much of it is so haunting and weird that I've grown to love it. tbh I felt disappointed by 80% of hubardo, and confused by both phobos and coffins, but then liked both, mostly. rThis is just another weird fucking take by a weird fucking genius dude. It really shouldn't surprise us that he's just still surprising us and being weird.

2.5 average | North0House2 | September 13th 19 | To think Choirs of the Eye is one of the best albums I've ever heard. What has happened? Experimentation without purpose is a mistake.

2.5 average | ZIG | September 11th 19 | Perhaps Kayo Dot weakest and most accessible record to date, but still worth a listen.

3.0 good | Benjamin Kuettel EMERITUS | September 5th 19 | An approachable prog rock album with a lot of strengths, Blasphemy unfortunately contains too many annoying qualities to live up to their classics. Toby Driver has some of the best singing moments of his career, and the band's continued embrace of avant-garde synth rock or whatever you'd want to call it produces moments of greatness, despite not reaching the heights of Coffins on Io or Plastic House on Base of Sky.

2.5 average | JJKeys | September 5th 19 | With all Driver's experimentation, he's finally put out an album that's remarkably unmemorable
