Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? - เพลง
This album got a better score than DAMN.
And I'm ok with that
Not Samson correct
I mean this record is absolutely incredible so it’s understandable
because its a better record.
It’s genuinely one of the best records ever crafted. Like ever.
Only hip-hop heads aren't okay with it.
Loud rock? Loud rock? You mean MATHCORE!
+Greg M Or Prog-Grind. I've seen people use that too.
Captain Fuckyou what the hell is prog grind?😂
All these blends dammit.
Greg M I think Fantano uses it as a blanket term to avoid the bullshit of genre definitions.
It's like 43% mathcore
No band would enjoy the tag 'mathcore', it suggests music created via adherence to formula. Battles have been referred to as mathcore and they fucking hate it, well that's what they told me 11 years ago anyway. Oh man, can't believe I just name-dropped and I feel dirty for doing so...
i dug it. it was the LAAAAAAST track i thought could have been more interesting.
"Prancer" and "When I Lost My Bet" is the best 1-2 punch I've heard in a very long time.
Great review man. I dig your style. Would be interested to hear your take on the new Megadeth...ha.
"WHEN I LOST MY BED"
Really, famtano?
Dude? Wheres my bed? Wheres my bed, dude?
seemed like an obvious connection to me. maybe greg and trent are workout buddies. they're both pretty buff.
Anyone else love Crossburner?
yup, they really delve into some unexplored territory on that one
Ben Wagner the pause after the intro before he starts screaming gives me chills.
This is my first DEP album, that track is my favourite on the album.
I loved this album when it came out, but stopped listening to metal for the most part around 2 years ago. When I say it felt like rediscovering this album for the first time, cross burner destroyed me
Would've been a great album closer. Just the feedback ringing and mic dropping
This album fucking kills. Right up there with Option Paralysis.
you've mentioned Mike Patton, Faith No More and Mr.Bungle multiple times... I am interested
spork
+Jason Mercieca you should be. Mike Patton is AMAZING. And so versatile there's got to be something for everyone. Including italian opera.
I know he is absolutely amazing! hahah I meant this as getting me interested into Dillinger, which I now listen to heaps aswell!
+Jason Mercieca Yeah, you should thank , I think Trey found DEP, or Patton, they hate each other, why Bungle ended,but if you' have been listening to music im' sure it's been influenced by Patton who was on Warner from '89 to '99 with Faith No More and Mr Bungle, started his label "Ipecac" with super groups, Fantomas, Tomahawk, and his pop project Peeping Tom that was in discussions with Warner but ended up on Ipecac, which along with another label released the new Faith No More - I didn't mention tons of things, go listen to Mondo Cane, Moonchild, Lovage, General Patton vs the Xecutioners, the monster voices in Will Smith 's I AM LEGEND (I know he was the actor) Patton is acting in I forget the name of the wanna be Lynch Film, he did soundtrack to The Place Beyond the Pines and Crank 2 , he does vocals for video games, ect, ect ect
+Jason Mercieca Check out their Irony is a Dead Scene EP. It's DEP with Mike Patton singing!!
He must've gotten a broken disc, the glockenspiel is definitely NOT too loud. I didn't even notice it until I saw this.
Wait is this the meme review guy...?
No, it's the best teeth in the FUCKING game.
Favorite Track: "WHEN I LOST MY BED"
Historically, I never really understood Dillinger, but this album converted me. The production is perhaps the meanest and sickest I've heard on a metal album. Only complaint is that a couple tracks are completely redundant by the end. Light 8 is a good score.
Dillinger never made sense to me until I had an experience of deep suffering and mental chaos. Yeah lol
Damn Anthony, where did this enthusiasm go? Watching this after looking at some of your newer reviews and it's such a night and day difference. Maybe you gotta take a break man, recharge the batteries a little bit.
Among Us prequel
I dunno, I would rate it like 8,5 or even 9, because it instantly became my favorite Dillinger record, it beats even Miss Machine, cause Killer's more versatile and Machine is more straightforward
One of us is sus!
One of us is the imposter
haha "when i lost my bed"
that drive like jehu album in the background made this even better
i love the way you describe the music in such detail. love the reviews man. keep it up.
Good review man. Me personally, I love this record. When i deliver pizza's around my town i blare this record in my car and zip around town with mathmatic precision! Haha, but in all utter seriousness, when i saw them live opening for Mastodon back in 2011 my jaw dropped and i couldn't stop thrashing. Blew me away how they could nail these intricate songs like they did live. legendary.
I don't even like Mastodon but I bet they'd be fucking amazing to see live.
Also DEP kick dicks all over.
awesome album 9/11
This album and Miss Machine tie for my favorites by them. They are so good!
+kai brainard but Ire Works is really really good too.
A lot of people seem to hate Ire Works... I don't understand it.
This comment is 2 years old but I came to agree with it.
@@drumsno Personally, I think that Ire Works had a ton of filler that went nowhere. It has some of my favorite DEP songs on it, but as an album, it doesn't really work.
Extra points for the Yank Crime LP in the background.
not sure yet. gonna have to give it a listen.
This album was fucking fantastic, this album solidified my love for them, 10/10 I love almost everything by them even when they had dimitri in the calculating infinity era, I first heard this band in 07 on fuel TV playing "fix your face" and I was caught up but couldn't really get around to understand mathcore at the time but ever since I bought this back when it came out I dug more into them and bought all their records, all of em are excellent records including their stuff with mike Patton on vocals that Ep is phenomenal, listen to this band if you know know what's good for you haha
my friend, you've mistaken the Dillinger Escape Plan for Protest the Hero.
I think the Glockenspiel in "Magic that I Held you Prisoner" makes that song when listening to the right mix. While listening through my speakers I agree that it is a bit loud in the mix, but through my headphones it comes out really nice, and accents the snare really well.
Dude, your review videos are so well articulated and full of awesome description especially for this album!
anamanaguchi is coming.
haha nice call with the unspoken Drive Like Jehu comparison. Haven't thought about that band in quite a while.
plotting on it.
this channel is one of the most consistently enjoyable and informative things that I keep up on, mostly because you explain all your opinions instead of just saying how things are. it's good to see someone with the vocabulary of a musician but the relatability of a fan.
separate thing: what you say at 5:18 is how I feel about a lot of Tool songs
Subscribed! Watched your review on Random Access Memories, then saw you reviewed this, and realized you have an awesome diverse taste for music, and an ability to review multiple genres. Look forward to more!
gonna do it. just haven't done it yet.
Great review Anthony! You are my fav reviewer! Very well said about the new TDEP. Keep up the good work!
***** DEP have essentially defined the genre of mathcore over the past fourteen years. I'd say they're pretty original.
how many tracks is it?
Thx for getting me into a lot of my favorite artists, these guys included.
And Envy. Can't forget Envy. Still waiting on a classic review for them.
After careful consideration and analysis, I feel like the new album deserves seventy billionty bajillion out of 10. Give or take.
Just a coincidence, when I saw them in Newport, Ben Weinman was wearing a Drive Like Jehu shirt, which is shown in the background.
Neat.
first one of your videos i've watched, nice review, i'll be watching more :)
strong light decent
Thanks for the review Anthony! Dillinger has always been one of the more interesting metal bands out there, and I am glad they came out with another awesome album. It would be awesome if you could review Defeater's new album Letters Home this summer or Letlive's new album coming out this summer as well!
Never would have picked up on the parallel to the Drive Like Jehu cover art, thanks for drawing our attention to it Anthony! Also please review Abandon by Pharmakon - it's brutal
I just realized that I listen to you almost every day on WNPR. Awesome.
Funni he mentions Patton when he collab with DEP on A ep Irony is a Dead Scene
One of there best work from both
yep.
do a review of If These Trees Could Talk - Red Forest, great instrumental album
I love when you get excited doing a review
I could swear that I have subscribed to you about 4 times over the last year. Odd. Love your reviews, and I agree with you almost 100% on this. Killer album.
Anthony, would you consider doing a "Question/Comment Thing" on lossy vs. lossless audio formats? Pros and cons, your personal preferences, etc.? I know you're more of a vinyl and hi-fi listener, but I'd still love to hear your thoughts on the topic.
Thanks for reviewing this, Anthony!!! Oustanding!! I wish you would have reviewed the last one, 'Option Paralysis'.
4:37 every godamn song DEP has made yo
it's ok.
Great review! first one I've seen of yours...subscribing. (But maybe I'm biased in that i'd like any review that speaks of Dillinger favourably?)
Sometimes I completely disagree with your reviews..... This is not one of those times. Nailed this album. I rate your review a 9/10
excellent review man, glad I suscribed
thanks, my son.
i always toss the genre in the description box. :-)
Really really glad that this got rated high by you Anthony. Fantastic review, fantastic album, fantastic band, fantastic reviewer.
Heh, Ben was wearing a Drive Like Jehu shirt when I saw them this tour.. I really enjoyed this new one even if it more of same. I've noticed that each of their albums has at least 1 or 2 tracks that evolve their sound while the rest is standard Dillinger. I'd give When I Lost My Bet that honor.
Every album from TDEP is flawless. Hands down. Thanks for this review man. Seriously one of the best bands out there.
I luv your reviews there so refreshing haha
the album is pretty kickin, especially the title track. really digging the similarities between them and "From first to last". I wonder if Anthony will ever use the drawing I did of CAL :D!!
excellent review, as usual. this record sounds like it'll be pretty awesome.
At first I thought the ending track (The Threat Posed By Nuclear Weapons) wasn't much of a great way to end the album, but now I bloody love it and think it's my favourite ending to an album I've ever heard. I normally prefer albums with a big finale, like Save Me on the album Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold. But the lyrics on the song are simply wonderful and you feel like the song is a flashback of the entire album. Also, review Option Paralysis by Dillinger. It's all I've been listening to this week. Aaaaaannnddd great review! Your reviews are really good and I agree with most of them.
I agree. I used to not like that song, but it has grown so much on me. I loved the beginning to it but couldn't get into the rest of it. Now I love it.
This is still one of my favorite metal records. Thank you so much melon.
I prefer option paralysis and Ire works
I prefer ecstacy@@TheCivildecay
Please revisit this album Tony. It actually has gotten better as the years have gone on
Good reviews. Cheers bro.
Solid. I hate record reviews but you didn't annoy the shit out of me. Subscribed.
Seeing these guys in august, can't wait. This album rules.
I'm assuming you'll review the new National LP? I still remember that you gave a "6" to High Violet...you made me cry.
I think Dillinger Escape Plan has done well in being consistently great. Been anticipating this for a long time. Anamanaguchi - Endless Fantasy next?
To me, this is the best Dillinger record since Miss Machine. It's SOOOOO good.
you should do a question/comment thing about the importance of technical proficiency in music for the listener. i think its interesting that lot of the most interesting and engaging music acts (for me at least) aren't always the most technically proficient, while a lot of obviously talented musicians either feels vain and flashy or just boring to me. not to say that i don't have a lot of love and respect for particular technical artists, but it doesn't always correlate to music i identify with.
You should review Worse Than Alone or MONGREL by The Number Twelve Looks Like You!!
A brilliant album by a brilliant band.
You rule, i'm glad i subscribed.
I really love the Dillinger Escape Plan's band ethics and love their work approach but I'm struggling to listen to them consistently! The music is SO tight and amazing but I find myself changing after a while. Really am trying to adjust though.
Funny that you continually bring up Mike Patton in this review. He was actually the vocalist on DEP's EP Irony is a Dead Scene. This when they still searching and before discovering Greg.
Also wanna hear that Daft Punk review.
why so?
Great review. Looking forward to giving this one a thorough listen. You should review the new The World Is A Beautiful Place... album "Whenever, If Ever". Easily an AOTY contender for me. Also, people should seriously consider preordering or purchasing a download of it cause it leaked early and Topshelf was awesome enough to make it available for streaming a month before release as a result. They deserve the support, great band.
I always appreciate an objective unbiased review of art
thx, bro.
Hej anthony!
I'd like to recommend you an album, if you haven't heard of it or heard it yet:
psyopus - odd senses
best wishes,
david.
lololol, don't know if trolling.
The first DEP record I owned was Calculating, bought it in...dunno 2001? Anyway, when Option came out to me it was sort of a sigh of relief to hear them finally just pummeling out fury again and it made me sort of realize how much I missed that. So, this album comes off as....not a let down, but it leaves me wanting more. The beginning of the record is incredible, but it loses steam about halfway through. Review new QOTSA next.
What did you think of Option Paralysis, Anthony? Nice touch on the Drive Like Jehu record in the background. :P
I know it was like 10 years ago but it seems like so many people have forgotten or just don't know about the "Irony Is A Dead Scene" EP That Dillinger did with Mike Patton before Greg P. was even in the band and it's been obvious with every release since Miss Machine that the work Patton did with Dillinger really has had a HUGE impact on the band. I only bring this up because if you are one of the people that don't know about this EP then you really need to do yourself a favor. It's phenomenal.
Great review bro, as always
thx.
not sure and not sure. never been huge on evile. they've never really sounded that different from old school metallica to me. which is cool, but doesn't get my guns blazing. the whole djent sound has never really appealed to me either, honestly. thoughts?
I definitely agree that Evile are very old-school in their approach to the genre, but honestly I just feel refreshed by that. At least they're refining their sound, they could easily just be making the same album over and over.
As for TesseracT, they've also grown a lot from where they were in the past. The previews from the new album feature a lot of jazz influences among the regular djents, and it's a very interesting mix. You could always just give them a low score if you dislike them :)
Crossburner was definitely my favorite song on the album.
You cite Mike Patton and Trent Reznor as possible influences. Well, Patton used to sing in Dillenger for a little while and Dillenger joined Nine Inch Nails on stage during their "last show" a few years ago.
I love this band so much. Can't wait to get this album.
I can't get enough of the needledrop!!!
You're good at reviewing metal without getting bogged down in subgenre talk. So many metal reviews are just biased rants about hating certain subgenres. Nicely done.
great jorb.
Loving this album so far. How about reviewing TesseracT's new album?
please review their Final album.
