But the new cd is just too great not to do another. Check the whole album on their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/dillingerescapeplan Fucking cd of the year.
More of a traditional hardcore man myself, but Miss Machines pretty good, can't check myspace atm but will do later.
I'm still upset Chris Pennie left the band, and even more upset that he left for Coheed and Cambria. What a waste of talent... As little as I listen to Dillinger Escape Plan, I still love to hear people talk about how it's "just noise" and "random notes played really fast." Like the music or not, each member of the band is insanely talented. Edit: Okay, I listened to a little bit of "Black Bubblegum" on their Myspace, and this is definitely not the Dillinger Escape Plan I remember. I have whatever CD that "Sugar Coated Sour" is on. The reason I (occasionally) like DEP is that they're psychotically brutal. Every time I listen to the CD, I can just envision someone's face being bashed in with a lead pipe. This doesn't sound the same :\ For people who want more melody in their metal, the new Between the Buried and Me album "Colors" is a masterpiece. In fact, go buy the CD right now
Yeah, Colors is one of the highlights of '07 (among with Pslams Of the Moribund or whatever the new defeated sanity is called, in terms of extreme music), but Ire works, for me, definitively beat the shit out of Colors. They are more nuanced now, perhaps, but - good god - just look at ''lurch'' and ''party smasher'' for exemple; it's technicality and insanity as it haven't been done since Calculating infinity (the masterpiece opening with ''sugar coated sour'' you where talking about). And yet, they still dare to add another layer to their music, a sense of rythm and flow that wasn't found in this kind of work before, without restraining the movement and sharpness of the music they're used to create. The exploration of Miss Machine very well welcome to me, but it's on this cd that it really pays of, and it shows. They don't hit or miss has they used to, they only score, and they do it really hard. their sound is so compact and streamlined, yet retaining the intensity and sense of movement it always had, but they don't sit on their asses and will - i surely do think - still enlarge their horizons for the next cd to create a sound that is even more complete. I don't even compare it to the classic that is Calculating Infinity, because it's just not the same. ''CI'' was such a new concept, a new idea, so fresh and so different; while Ire Works seems the accomplishement of everything the band have done so far, pushing their sounds they experienced with to their relative limits (as of now) and making every point of it worthy, strong and very well plausible as stand alones.
