Maudlin of the Well vs Kayo Dot

I honestly, can't choose. These bands are soo good, its like picking between Bass and Drums.

Kayo Dot.  Incidentally, this topic was done before.  Note: I offer only for reference purposes since old topics are locked at the board.

I posted in the 2007 topic. 

I know Maudlin of the Well better now, and more KD, and still much prefer Kayo Dot.  Still love Choirs of the Eye (my fave album in the metal categories).

That's a good way to die you know! Everyone knows bass is better!

I mainly posted that to piss you off.

But it is true.

I dunno your reason but clearly for me MotW. Kay Dot is to boring for me. It takes too much time.

Sorry...secondary language. I meant just that. Their just plain boring for my ears. Not even sure what I meant with the: "it takes too much time"   

Kayo Dot for me fore sure, although, unlike with some others, for me it is close.

Basically, their albums for me go:

Choirs
Dowsing/Bath
Blue Lambency Downward
Leaving Your Body Map
Fruit PsychoBells

There was, in fact, a short period where I liked maudlin more...but that's passed. Kayo Dot is the obvious victor in my eyes, but, like I said, not by too much.

if maudlin had one more extremely solid/album up their sleeves (which, incidentally, they might now...!), they'd maybe be the victor. for me at least.

In general, patience is rewarding. Kayo Dot are in a different league, imo. Prefer Tartar Lamb to MotW, too.

ha-ha, both previous polls were mine

motW for sure

nothing changed

KAYO DOT is richer in terms of musical conception and clever deliveries. Eve nthough some metal-oriented fans may have been somewhat disappointed at their most recent effrot, the fact is that KD has proved that they can make aggressive, weird music without necessarily getting metallish.

   Kind regards.
