It's a shame that avant-garde progressive metallers maudlin of the Well broke up. Kayo Dot [their new band] just doesn't evoke as much emotion in me as motW did. I mean, it's all good, but it's not as powerful as their previous project. Although, this being said, I think a breakup or at least a drastic change of style was necessary because there was no way in hell that they could top Bath and Leaving Your Body Map. - DISREGARD THAT I SUCK [roosters]. They're going into the studio. I would've liked them to have kept touring for a few years though. Another one is shoegazers My Bloody Valentine. Although Kevin Shields has just released Loveless again and they're playing a handful of concerts here and there, they're not really an active band anymore. They probably won't release any new material because they [read] know that they won't be able to better Loveless. Again, to summarise: a necessary breakup, but I'm happy that they're playing a few gigs here and there this year.
