I don't know how to do this seeming like I'm jerking off in front of you guys... but my review of Absence covers the 8 points by Pedestrian. I wrote it more as a review for people who are new to Dalek, so if you are really familiar with the album, I doubt there is anything new for me to offer.

Feel free to read it or ignore it.

I actually have read that review, forgot to comment on it when I did. Sorry!

But yes, I agree with all your points. Specifically...

ID, you seem to enjoy fairly standard rap, and I've yet to see a post from you where you talk about how much you enjoy noise or industrial. I can see how you wouldn't really like this.

But that's the beauty of it! It's like a wonderful mashup of the two!

And interesting calling it post-metal rap... I wouldn't have labeled as post-metal personally. Can you say any similar post-metal artists? (with or without rapping)

Mind you, I'm not insulting you at all with either of my comments. Just saying how I can see how you don't like it. So please dont take it as an insult. >_>

Sneer · 08-23-2011, 05:00 PM

I wouldn't say post-metal either, there's no hint of an experimentation on the metal genre in my eyes. It sounds more Shoegaze than metal, built on a heavy industrial and noise influence. I'm being a bit of a genre nazi, but alas.

no offense taken

it just takes time to sink in

The Residents' Commercial Album took me ages to like

It's definitely fair to say I've never heard anything like this before. I'm not well-versed in hip hop, but this was very interesting to me. To start. I found the use of noise absolutely fascinating, but the album grew a bit repetitive for me as it progressed.

I never listen to lyrics the first time I listen to an album. My focus is on the music. Lyrics take a back seat. This is why I don't get on with a lot of hip hop. That said, I found there wasn't much musical variance between tracks, and that coupled with the repetitive vocal rhythms grew old a bit quick on me.

Er. Unfortunately I actually have to pause this before I'm finished with it and go do something else. So. I'll end my summary later.
