Heard they have a new album in the works...got me worked up about them. Which album do you like better?
This is a no-brainer for me. 'Choirs of the Eye' by a mile. |

The debut; very good album.

I don't understand why you continuously post stuff like this in threads where you'd obviously be unable to contribute useful discussion...? |

Pick em' up...they should be appealing. |

Oh I see now...maybe you should try Choirs. |

I have only recently dabbled into these type bands and honestly they haven't appealed to me. For Kayo Dot, I have listened to Dowsing and found it to be just OK. Interesting that the first few posts are stating that Choirs of the Eyes is a better album. I will need to track down and see if this is better. Or I should take my 10 favorite CDs and run to the desert island and save my money. -------------

You shouldn't be upset with it...it's quite the masterpiece. |

| Choirs Of The Eye is a good album (3 stars). I really couldn't understand DAWCT, i found a couple of interesting moments but that´s it. So i vote CoTE. |

Both are fantastic but I feel a small tinge of a formulaic approach in Choirs. I'll take DAwCT

I'll try the new one on '08... All in the interest of fairness and giving the Dot a second try... -------------

Choires of the Eye, a masterpiece if ever there was one.

| Choirs of the Eye for me too. Both albums are good, but Choirs of the Eye is much better than Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue. |

choirs of the eye, bar none.
although dowsing... is pretty good as well, choirs is just...better, all around to me. i think dowsing seemed like more of a developmental album with some good moments. hoping their third elaborates on the best of both with plenty of new ideas as well! ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

| Although I love Maudlin of the Well, I still can't get into Kayo Dot. To me, the child-like magic that infused Maudlin's music has gone and a kind of self-conscious need to be artistic and avant-garde has taken its place. It just leaves me cold. |

I just got Choirs of the eye, hard listening, but sounds promising, a couple more runs through, and I bet I'll love it!
Havent heard the second album though. -------------

The second is quite a bit more difficult, I'd say, so good luck! haha

Second album is sufficient if you like the first one...just not as good. Let me know what you think about Choirs!

I haven't heard Choirs of the Eye, but Dowsing is really good. Maudlin of the Well pwns all, though.
