I ****ING LOVE THEM!! and you listed all the songs i like so yeah.
YAY!

Dillinger Escape Plan are awesome. I didn't know a band could be so insane and still so beautiful.

The Dillinger Escape Plan- Ire Works
 

Anyone like the new Dillinger album?

I've always been a fan of Dillinger and they're the best of their "mathcore" type controlled craziness genre or whatever you want to call them and there new album is very good IMO but don't you think they went to an almost ligher, poppier style.

I mean the song "Black Bubblegum"(while I still think its catchy) sounds like something that should be playing on the radio.

I really like their Plagiarism EP, but I have not heard this yet. I'll have to find.

I don't know if I like it or not. I really want to but man....it's too poppy for being the DEP i remember from calculating infinity. Usually I'm all about bands progressing in sound but mehhhh

It's intended for radio play. We got the album at our radio station 2 weeks ago with a flyer that said that Black Bubblegum is meant for CMJ Top 200. It's supposed to be ironic, hence the title. The rest of the album is awesome though.

the new album is freaking awesome.

Just posting here to say that Ire Works is an absolute masterpiece.

Agreed! But so is Infinity and Miss Machine. One of the best bands out there.

Irony Is A Dead Scene is my fav. Patton really brought a lot to the band.

I dislike new dillinger but there was about an entire year that calculating infinity dominated my life

I still have to hear Calculating Infinity. I take it it's a lot more chaotic than the new stuff.

I've never seen you this excited.

Irony is a Dead Scene is their best work. Patton brought a lot more insanity to the group.

I LOVED IRE WORKS TO DEATH!

but I can't seems to find any other albums at any bestbuy in Texas!

I want Miss Machine

Bought Ire Works when it came out.
It got really boring really fast.

Saw them live last summer it was friggin amazing.

Dont really remember anything else that i was in the front row and that some fat guy was pushing me against the safetywall. Yet, one of the greatest gigs i've been to.

i should hate this band.

they went from something really interesting to a Mike Patton-worshipping fellatory group with little to separate themselves from the next math rock band except a name indebted to alt rock. even worse, they finally get a new singer and he's a carbon copy of the ex-FNM frontman. what's to like about them?

well, for starters, three amazing records in ten years. the chaotic nature of the material somehow works, and Ire Works may be one of my favorite records. absolutely superb band capable of crafting immense songwriting structures and juggling insane polyrhythms. they don't adhere to any specific genre and quite often work around all pre-conceived notions of what conventional songwriting should be.

i should hate this band, but i can't. they're too good.

I like the new guy, too. Ire Works is ****in' phenomenal. The album they did with M.P is good, too, but MB is making me really sick of Mike Patton as well. He makes wonderful music, but I'm past the falling-for-the-frontman phase. I want collaboration, I want musicians who explore outside of their comfort zones and D.E.P does it with and without Mike.

Mike Patton is awesome in so many ways. The guy oozes creativity.


I LOVE The Dillinger Escape Plan! So many great songs to choose from, I wouldn't even know where to begin. Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants is probably my favourite song from them but so many other songs come so close.

Not to bust your balls or anything, but you say this a lot and really never elaborate quite enough for how much you're into him (judging by your avatar and username).

I don't need to elaborate. His projects speak for themselves.

I don't mean in the sense of you telling us about his music. I'm very much familiar with his work. I mean elaborating on why you think he's so awesome. Ah, you know, forget it. Who am I to ask anyone to explain themselves? Go crazy with it.

Um...my answer was why I think he's awesome.

:)

Dillinger is definitely one of my favorites.
in my professional opinion, they **** gold ;D

Heh, yeah. One of my favourites, too. Going to see them next weekend.

On the downside, I just got my Lurch/Sick on Sunday shirts in the mail. The Lurch one is the wrong size, blah.

I was expecting you guys to tear Ire Works apart. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that most of you have looked past some of the songs' more simplistic approaches, as opposed to the older Under the Running Board and Calculating Infinity techniques of ramming quadratic equations down your throat in record times: as awesome as that may be.

I thought that Ire Works demonstrated more of their personal tastes instead of perhaps pandering to fans who are still waiting for another Calculating Infinity. Not to remove any credit from their older work. Songs like "43% Burnt", "Sunshine the Werewolf", "Panasonic Youth" and "The Running Board" are untouchably heavy in their own respects.

But when I first heard the tracks "Milk Lizard" and "Mouth of Ghosts", it was the first time that I was really surprised by what they were doing. It was unexpected.

Now to address the Irony is a Dead Scene EP. I think it was just a great example of a prolific musician who had the time to do whatever he wanted in the studio with whoever wanted to do it with, finding a band that really impressed him and giving them some well-earned attention. Because not too many people knew about the DEP until that album came out. It basically took them from a band that you didn't want opening for you to a band that you would feel nervous about opening for.

That being said, Gil Sharon is a ****in' maniac. I think I actually prefer his approach to Chris Pennie's.

I still haven't listened to Calculating Infinity but I expect that it's a collection of songs that sound similar to the more chaotic songs on Ire Works and Miss Machine. And the vocals are probably weaker.

But, since I've been listening to Dillinger a lot more recently, I'll definitely look into this one.

It's a classic, dude. Check it out ASAP.

dillinger live
 

i saw them with world/inferno friendship society and made out of babies... strangest line up i've ever seen before... dep rocked it, though.

well i just got Calculating Infinity, listening to it now.




i feel uncomfortable as hell, but i like it :)

I've only heard Irony Is A Dead Scene, but I love it.

Should I look into some of their other stuff?

Yeah cuz Ire Works is a masterpiece.

I don't know why everybody seems to think that their earlier albums are more technical, the chaotic songs on Ire Works beat the hell out of their older material for me. Maybe the focus was less on being technical for the sake of being technical, but the songs felt more chaotic then ever before and the parts that were technical were some of the most insane stuff the band ever played.

I do like Gil Sharon's drumming much better though, it feels much more loose and jazzy, less controlled. But I think a good portion of this has to do with the band's shift in songwriting style. I might have to double check this, but I'm pretty sure Chris Pennie wrote the drum parts for most of the songs. I think Gil wrote Horse Hunter, Mouth of Ghosts, and Dead as History, I may be wrong though.

meh -shrug- their decent.

Miss Machine is still my favourite... but I've got high hopes for the new album.

This and Genghis Tron's new album are my most anticipated.

Anyone hear the new song?

BLABBERMOUTH.NET - THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN: New Song Premieres On SIRIUS XM Radio

Right on. Well, you probably know more about it than I do. I just listen to shit like "The Mullet Burden", "43% Burnt" and "Under the Running Board", and I don't know, maybe it's because it was back when they had more of a "hardcore" edge to their sound. Which is why so-called purists reject their newer material. You know, typical self-righteous rhetoric.

But yeah. Gil Sharon's style is definitely more jazz-influenced. I think he might have come from a jazz background, actually. I remember reading that him and his brothers were in a jazz-based band before The D.E.P. got him. Not to say that Chris Pennie wasn't awesome. He was just more rigid, in my opinion.
