Maudlin of the Well was perhaps the most laughable band on hand. It's not that I don't respect them for certain aspects -- particularly their incorporation of female vocals, brass and other instruments into their metal sound. But the outcome was quite bad. It was as if two bands were playing on top of each other, the differing musical styles in the band never mixing. One style sunk and the other floated, never cross-pollinating. Another disappointment, and at this point I was starting to question the choices I was making as far as which acts to catch.
