arguments not reviews, 2008-08-31
What!another band changing from what the fan base considers 'there' music.'there' will normally come from those who discover a band at a time before the rest of the world, the individualism of it more than anything else defining why they got into the band in the first place.so many people now describe the alienation of a band developing there sound as abandonment. for Against Me! fans (like me) this has been an argument for years and the same pathetic crap is rooting to DEP.as said earlier nobody wants to hear the same album repeted a dozen times(if so play what you love on repeat) because other band will take inspiration quickly. rather than buying the new album of a band you love fans would be better suited to finding the next new thing in the genre (how many people heard the word 'mathcore'(or whatever pidgin hole) before DEP).BUT when a band progresses beyond what they have been playing to audiences more than a hundred times a year, and do it well, then i can see no reason for criticism. and more to the point a band explaining themselves to fans seems so far beyond the point of creative music that it makes this rant seem worthwhile.
simply this is a great album.if u feel sold out then 5 minutes of last fm and you will find what your looking for again.
Fix Your Face, 2008-10-23
This Album IS amazing. Changing pace but never loosing atmosphere. Jolting through genres but never loosing integrity. It is simply blinding. Dillinger are currently the most interesting and original band around. The songs convert to the live stage even better than I could have hoped. Actually becoming alive.
As with all classic music, Ire Works will never grow old. The general public will figure it out in time.
It pisses all over Miss Machine, which was largely overated.
The machine that is DEP pull out all the stops, and then some., 2008-03-13
Any new release by noise legends The Dillinger Escape Plan is going to be hugely anticipated amongst those in the know and this one, `Ire Works', is no different. It has certainly been a long time since 2004s `Miss Machine' exploded onto our stereos. It was an album that managed, despite its savage brutality, to propel the band into a more mainstream circle, which predictably annoyed many of their hardcore following. But nit-picking scenesters aside, it was undeniably an epic journey of technical wizardry and math-like complexity that wowed almost everyone in the critical and public domain from every angle.
The first two tracks of `Ire Works' dutifully pick up where `Miss Machine' left us. The stop-start-ridiculously-off-time guitar stabs piledrive the speakers into oblivion, as do Greg Puciato's pulverizing vocals. With drummer and founding member Chris Pennie leaving the band to take up duties in prog-emo rockers Coheed Cambria, another drummer was needed to step in and do one hell of job. Gil Sharone was acquired and quite literally pummels this album to shreds whilst still keeping the DEP feel intact.
What has always made The Dillinger Escape Plan that much more interesting than the next technical noise band is their creativity and sometimes bizarre experimentation. Sounding like an angrier Mike Patton, Greg Puciato yelps, whispers, howls and yes, soulfully sings through a set of songs where intense vocals and even more intense instrumentation make for a rather unsettling listening experience. `Black Bubblegum' creeps along in a weirdly poppy manner, as does `Sick On Sunday' with its lightening fast arpeggio guitar runs peddling away in the background. There is even a distinctly Every Time I Die-esque track which seems to be an obvious single choice.
Dillinger Escape Plan have done everything that we would expect from this album and so much more. It is more technical, more melodic and more experimental than anything they have done before. They are at the forefront of exciting heavy music and this is easily one of the best releases of 2007.
Brilliant album. , 2008-06-30
I was hesitant about buying this, I'd read some things saying it was average etc. but I went out on a limb and can safely say that this is one of the most clever, artistic and ingenious albums I have heard in a long time.
The opener, Fix Your Face is such a bold opener. There's no messing around, it just goes straight into the action, I love it.
Lurch- Dischordant mayhem with fantastic lyrics.
Black Bubblegum- Sexy, sleazy, dirty culminating in an amazingly catchy outro, my personal favourite.
Sick on Sunday- Slow moving at 1st. Then frantic, it sounds like it doesn't know where to go. I sat there with my mouth open, it's so out there, almost grind in places.
When Acting As A Particle- Creepy, dark instrumental. I very much like it.
Nong Eye Gong- Hardcore, fist pumping, awesome.
When Acting As A Wave- Heavier instrumental. Very catchy.
85288- No holds barred. Dillinger in all their glory.
Milk Lizard- Extremely catchy, chromatic, even use of a samba element, everything.
Party Smasher- Heavy vocals, some shred guitars, more tonal than some of the songs, but still as heavy.
Dead As History- Slow, quiet, then erupts a little bit. Not the heaviest song by a long way, but very good.
Horse Hunter- Another one of my favourites. Guest vocals from Brent from Mastodon (if you like Mastodon- Leviathan, you'll like this album, and vice versa).
Mouth of Ghosts- Took a few listens to get into, but it's very catchy at places. Quite uneasy in itself. Very uncomfortable. I like it a lot.
For fans of: Mastodon, The Mars Volta, Every Time I Die.
I don't know your name!!!!, 2008-02-27
OK...so I was lucky to just tour the UK with these guys and I thought I would throw my opinions in for good measure...
I have never really been a big DEP fan as I found their early releases (Running Board and Calculating Infinity) way too hard to swallow and subsequently never bothered to seek any others out.
I wish I had really as Miss Machine (apparently) was a different beast altogether and contained more mainstream melodies and different influences entirely.
I love it when a band evolves and that's pretty much where we have ended up.
This album boots off with "Fix Your Face" and "Lurch" which, although are in the regular DEP sound, are short and I think this helps as they don't lose any of the punch and musical insanity that are DEP trademarks.
Then...(and the kids might not like it)...they delve into Faith No More country with "Black Bubblegum" which sounds like something from King For A Day. But...listen out for the mad piano part and the trumpets. It's still Dillinger but a weird and twisted version.
It's then that the Aphex Twin influence comes with the intro to "Sick On Sunday" and the two "When Acting..." instrumentals. "Nong Eye Gong" gets a bit lost in the middle but WORKS on the vinyl as it's the last track on Side 1.
Side 2 is a different affair entirely...but you can find out for yourselves. Go out and buy it.
It's great to hear a band evolving and not recording the same record again like sooooo many bands these days.
I thought I would hate it but it's turned into a great discovery.
