01.31.20 | I think this list might be perfect. |
GhandhiLion
01.31.20 | this is 100% your top ten kayo dot songs |
JohnnyoftheWell
01.31.20 | Given how terrible your album ranking list was, this is surprisingly solid. Props for 6 and 9! |
JohnnyoftheWell
01.31.20 | [but also please delete everything from Plastic House and replace with Rings of Earth and the Gamma Knife t/t] |
brainmelter
01.31.20 | not bad |
GhandhiLion
01.31.20 | " replace with... Gamma Knife"
Johnny is cool
*Does not mention Stained Glass
Johhny is not cool. |
JohnnyoftheWell
01.31.20 | Ssh Stained Glass and Library Loft are my two major blind spots in the Driververse |
siIverspawn
01.31.20 | Stained Glass is just a few steps below 10. Gamma Knife never really worked for me, both the album and the t/t. |
Djang0
01.31.20 | I usually don't get too bothered by lists but this one caused me to let out a long defeated sigh
At the same time though, props |
NOTINTHEFACE
01.31.20 | Johnny just throw on Eptaceros a few times and then plunge into Library Loft knowing that's the highlight. I love it though.
And yeah Stained Glass is amazing.
Another list of poor opinions by OP but at least 10 is on here even though it's 1. |

01.31.20 | Man, what is everyone’s obsession with PHOBOS all of a sudden. Also 10 is overrated. Raise 5. |
NOTINTHEFACE
01.31.20 | It's not everyone it's this one guy posting a list every day. |
siIverspawn
01.31.20 | ^4 props for what? |
siIverspawn
01.31.20 | I think I just never realized how fun it was to post lists, but it probably won't last long |
72haha72
01.31.20 | Nice list! It would be really hard for me to decide the right order, but most of these are also among my top 10 Kayo Dot songs. The Manifold Curiosity is probably my #1. |
sixdegrees
01.31.20 | make 5 lists per day no one cares anymore |
JohnnyoftheWell
01.31.20 | this is a list about late stage capitalism |
GhandhiLion
01.31.20 | wooah |
JohnnyoftheWell
01.31.20 | make a 20-11, 30-21, 40-31, 50-41 and do Kayo Dot even have have 60 songs in their discog?? list and release them all tomorrow |
GhandhiLion
01.31.20 | break the website [2] |
porcupinetheater
02.01.20 | Shafting Symmetrical Arizona is a war crime |
AnimalsAsSummit
02.01.20 | I knew PHOBOS would take time for folks. That album is the sound of our future. Great list. |
BigPleb
02.01.20 | Nothing off PHOBOS is even near their top 10 imo. |
Sinternet
02.01.20 | why are we retroactively acting as if plastic house wasn't boring as all hell |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.01.20 | A couple of songs on it were really good
for about a minute |
Djang0
02.01.20 | “props for what”
For the unique list |
AnimalsAsSummit
02.01.20 | "why are we retroactively acting as if plastic house wasn't boring as all hell"
Think its boring. Your loss. One of the greatest albums. |
Scoot
02.01.20 | imagine making a top ten kayo dot song list and not having manifold as your #1 |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.01.20 | Manifold on this list but not at 1 is one of my favourite things about it tbh |
GhandhiLion
02.01.20 | Don't be silly. It's one of their few 8.5+ songs. |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.01.20 | Yeah, no denying it's a top cut! But it's not their de facto best and probably wouldn't break my top 5 |
GhandhiLion
02.01.20 | I'm not sure what I'd say Kayo Dot's best is. Maybe Amaranth the Peddler or Marathon. |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.01.20 | Amaranth the Peddler lol what a rogue call. Gud pick though, sometimes my second fave on Dowsing. Likewise with Marathon tbh. The Antique is always tops and Symmetrical Arizona has to be somewhere in the top 5 |
GhandhiLion
02.01.20 | The Antique was always my go to pick as a favourite for the longest time. But on recent revisits.. idk. My pick would be something of those first two albums anyway.
I don't get the cult following for Blue Lambency Downward. A lot of people seem to love that here, yet critics were harsh on it when it came out.
|
JohnnyoftheWell
02.01.20 | Mmm fair enough. I don't listen to Choirs as much now, but I was starting to get worried about diminishing returns...
BLD had even more of a cult following when I got into KD around 2013/14 iirc. I think a lot of people had them in a cosy experimental post-metal pigeonhole before that album, so perhaps it came off as a pile of indulgent navel glazing jazz to them (not entirely untrue but also not the whole story). Going into that one having heard Hubardo first, it would probably make more sense |
GhandhiLion
02.01.20 | I've seen the word pretentious thrown around a lot. Is Hubardo not their most metal/basic album? It's dissimilar to BLD imo |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.01.20 | I think the two long cuts in the middle and Passing the River have a little in common with BLD structurally - but it's more likely people just missed the screams and distortion, idk |
