Monks - 3
Sonics - 5

Their drummer is insanely awesome.

Howard the Duck · 08-08-2011, 02:56 AM

ok, just got both again

The Sonics

aw, you have got to be kidding me - this is just like a jumped Dave Clark 5, nothing proto-punk about this, adding fuzz to the guitars and playing at breakneck speed doesn't make you "punk"

The Monks

this is more like it - reminiscent of the Nuggets garage bands, there is some cool experimentation, and overall, the structure of the songs are much better than the above

so:-

Monks - 4
Sonics - 5

The Sonics scrape that one 5-4. Next up courtesy of Electrophonic Tonic sitting up there in the twilight zone are these two acclaimed modern day hip-hop albums. Take a few lines explaining your choice when voting.

El-P I`ll Sleep When You`re Dead 2007

Versus

Dalek Absence 2004

Nice! I need to listen to the El-P album before I vote, but I'm already an avid fan of Dalek.

Dalek hands down. El-P's solo work is great, and if Fantastic Damage had been chosen as the representative, it may have been closer. But Absence is, along with Liquid Swords, my favourite hip hop album. It just blows my mind.

El-P - 0
Dalek - 1

Dalek

the way the words come out is pretty good, but what's with the post-rock/post-metal backdrop? it obfuscates the beats, he or they should have used choppy guitars

El-P

this is more like it, mostly electronica, nice flow as well, and even the rockist songs dn't obscure the beat like Dalek

Dalek - 1
El-P - 1

Only 2 votes for these albums so far! I`m sure there must be more fans of these albums out there

Hahaha easily done

Voting for the Dalek album. I'm more associated with his work, and Absence is easily one of my favorite hip hop albums... The EL-P album was interesting, but it didn't really catch me off guard like the Dalek album did, nor was I able immerse myself into its music like I did with the other.

Dalek: 2

EL-P: 1

Not to be the village nitpicker but Dalek is actually a "them" not a "he" even though, yes, one of the members calls himself MC Dalek.
