That's a nice track by motW, but I saw them live and they were not able to replicate their nuanced moments. Save for five whole minutes, it was a continuous wall of sound with terrible singing and too many hats in the ring. Sorry.

Really, that would have been over 10 years ago, nice.
 
Indeed, it was. Unfortunately, it made me think their magic didn't translate into a live setting. LYBM and Bath had gotten my hopes up a bit, too.

Not really fan of any of them, actually I haven't dug their music deep enough, so no vote this time.

I find that a bit surprising. I saw Kayo Dot a few years ago and they were amazing, nailed all aspects of the music, I know only Driver and Terran Olson were, at the time, the only two in both bands but you'd think Toby would be all over that.

Then again, the "sound engineers" at most of these small venues couldn't be more clueless if they tried.

I'm sure KD is a different animal, but the night I saw motW they had no female vocals, the bassist had an injury, and Terran was completely drowned out by Toby's and Greg's guitars. There was nothing "astral" about the "metal" I experienced that evening.

Sounds like one of those gigs where nothing goes right.

I'd like to think the battle to rid prog of metal starts with this series of polls LOL
Goooooooo Bo!

Nice little praise and commentary on the Symph album then a semi-bash with no information for Maudlin. 
Must be an amazing symph album then, to be topping a band of such a high caliber like Maudlin, right? Listen for 4 minutes and i hear annoying keyboards sounds, like always, and sounds like it could be used for an 80's video game soundtrack. 

Just funny how different people view/hear things. 

Agreed.
