Also, my ear is finally settling down, although no headphones/loud music for the next few days at least.

To be honest, there isn't a single prog band on earth with over 3 albums of which I like every album (from what I've heard at least).

Dream Theater, my favourite band, has FII and ToT and I dislike both.

I like what I've heard, I just don't have anything from them. Tongue

Kayo Dot/Bloody Panda Split 7": 4, but it'd be 5 if it was only Kayo Dot.

Live in Bonn, Germany, October 7 2009: 4.5, if only for the recording being a little hard to hear at times.

You're not a fanboy at all.

Not in the slightest.

Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue + Milk is where it's at.

I'd agree if I didn't dislike the former.

Don't be hatin'

DAWCT is their least perfect album, although it's still like 99.9% perfect IMO. Probably my fanboy bias, more than anything.

The first half is 3 stars imo. The second half is 5

I can definitely get why a lot of people don't like the second half, I didn't like it at all for a while. Grew on me, though.

Have you got any other Kayo Dot?

Kayo Dot is a band that has yet to grow on me. I have a feeling that in time, I will like them because Toby Driver has an oddness that intrigues me and their style is very unique and interesting. The only album I truly like so far is Choirs Of The Eye, but I'm sure if I keep giving other discs chances the band should grow on me.

It took me minimum 20 listens to begin to like Choirs. After that I got BLD, which I also loved, and then I ordered DAWCT/Coyote/Toby's solo album/Tartar Lamb all together. You can stream BLD and Coyote, as I mentioned in your thread about Kayo Dot

I think so; it's nice and avant, pretty obscure (I hadn't even heard of it until about a week ago) and quite a few of the most prolific shredders have Cat avatars.
