Old Composer REACTS to THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN One of Us is the Killer - Metal Reactions 

Please please please do more Dillinger!!!!!

Farewell, Mona Lisa is THE song, has just about a bit of every other Dillinger song in there! So stoked you've finally done some Dillinger

This is one of the most tame Dillinger songs. Has just little tiny hints of how crazy they are. Fun fact: Mike Patton of Mr. Bungle did an incredible EP with them.

Now that we’ve entered this realm, ya gotta do Converge

Finally! I've been waiting for you to get to Dillinger...thanks for this reaction.

43% Burnt by them is one of the craziest songs i've heard ...

"When I Lost My Bet" is a personal fave.

When this band disbanded I was gutted, brilliant band and IMO one of the most important in metal. Even the final track on there final album was absolutely perfect.

More Dillinger Escape Plan, please! "Farewell, Mona Lisa" or something from "Ire Works" album

Stoked you finally did Dillinger, but not what I would've expected for a track choice. Farewell Mona Lisa next time?

Good introduction to Dillinger I'd say, a smooth ramp up before the utterly insane tracks.

I want to get behind you reacting to “43% Burnt”. It’s glorious insanity.

I would advise widower or dead as history on their softer side Farewell Mona Lisa is a good introduction as a song for their general sound One of the greatest band ever

definitely one of their most subtle laid back songs yet its so heavy, DEP is truly chaotic please do panasonic youth!!

Your language is insanely colorful and nuanced, man. Love it!

Between the Buried and Me - Selkies: The Endless Obsession Please and thanks you.🙏🤞🦥😀

Feel better!!! You are the best channel and what you do for the kids, it’s so admirable ❤️ Thank you you Geebz

You need to hear the song Prancer or When I Lost My bet from the same album!

Wow nobody recommended their song "Setting fire to sleeping giants" That song was my first taste of mathrock and it was amazing!

"Farewell, Mona Lisa" for your 30-day anniversary playlist!

my favorite Dillinger escape plan song is: When good dogs do bad things. It's on a Dillinger EP with mike patton the guy from mr bungle on vocals. another cool dillinger song is 43% burnt. if i remember correctly 43% burnt is off of their 1st album calculating infinity which came out in 1999 and I think is highly influential for this genre of music. the band drive like jetu released an album in 1994 which influenced bands like dillinger. I think i am remembering all of this correctly lol.. another really cool band is refused. they are a swedish band who have an incredible album called "the shape of punk to come" it's this crazy hybrid punk, electro, jazz crazy album. I really like it. thanks for listing to my rant lol.

One of the greatest bands EVER!!! No one get close to their energy live, seen then 4 times and have never been anything less than mind blowing 🤯🤯🤘🏼 please please please do more DEP

“Soulfully Disfiguring” would have been a perfect album title for this band. “Shattered Predictability” could have been the opening track.

Great song/reaction!! Yes, more please!!! Black Bubblegum is great. Symptom of a Terminal Illness is one of my favorite songs of all time. I dedicated (and still do) that song to my cat, Ash, that I had to put down a few years ago. :(

this is crazy! I was just looking at TDEP reactions wishing there were more and Key of Geebz comes through!

Please next: 1. Mew - Introducing Palace Players 2. Toe - Goodbye (feat. Toki Asako)

My fav song from the band! What a track. The singer has another project called The Black Queen (synth) that's really cool too.

Wow I just subbed to you for your nine inch nails reactions and now you're covering another of my favorite bands. That sub is paying off and I hope your shoulder recovers quickly

Widower!!!!!!!!!! The piano track is soooo amazing.

Man, this is a great song! Thanks for posting this, my Spotify is getting its own playlist from this channel. Can I recommend Harakiri for the Sky - I'm all about the dusk. Really interesting metal with great engineering.

DEP really push the boundaries of composition. This is as close as traditional song stuff that you’ll get from these guys. They also did an EP with Mike Patton which is well worth a listen.

What I love about Dillinger’s approach to slower songs is that they take progressive rock conventions and place it through the lens of the hardcore band that they are. This leads to even the softest moments to have a brooding atmosphere to them that greatly compliment their otherwise chaotic metalcore style

Thanks again for doing this, Geebz 😍😍 looking so much forward to the next dillinger review! It only gets better from here

Thanks a lot for suprising me by listening to my favourite band! Some side notes on DEP: their first releases had another singer and consist of pure brutality with far fewer melody. The EP with Mike Patton was made while they were looking for a fix replacement, and it's batshit crazy in every good way! I think this collab was a major influence for the bands further evolvement as for me it feels like Patton made them open up to any musical genre that may become handy for what they wanted to do next. So after this when Greg joined the band they were ready to use Dillingers full potential and every next album just got musically richer and deeper up until the end. I was lucky to catch em live about 5 times here in germany and I'm totally fine with them quitting when they did, I don't know anything comparable to the energy they unleashed from stage. Every single gig they gave more than everything and noone can expect them to "do the dillinger show" for another 20 years. I really don't want to advertise, but just if you are interested there is some live-footage from their last tour (prancer/when i lost my bet) on my channel and I also made some multi-angle videos from their last shows in NYC where Patton did open the set with them (when good dogs do bad things) or just check "dillinger (Crazy Moments Compilation)" here on YT :) Others already commented that this is one of their tamest songs and I don't wan't to be greedy by suggesting one track per album to show their evolution, so if any it should be Farewell Mona Lisa. Thanks for what you are doing, wish you all the best!

Man I love when you get grabbed by the groove…. I can tell when something really is making your gears turn. It’s so cool to have someone as yourself take these normally outer edge songs, not normally dissected, and hearing your spin on them. Keep up the great work dude. Horns up from Texas. 😎🤘

Love the reaction when chorus hits. Greg writes INFECTIOUS hooks 🔥🤌🏻

This is a great song but also one of their more accessible ones. I would recommend checking out Farewell, Mona Lisa, which I consider to be their Mona Lisa.

This might be the most tame and orderly song I've heard from these guys. When I first heard Panasonic Youth years ago, that shit was just so chaotic, not to mention seeing clips of their crazy live show energy.

Wow! Great song. Keep up the great work Geebz, your positive attitude keeps me coming back!

I got so excited when you said it's your first exposure to this band. Oh man. You're in for it, my friend!! Seriously a mind bogglingly talented band.

This was a nice ease in to the tour deforce that is TDEP, you are in for a treat, SIr Also, You should check out 'Converge' and 'Every Time I Die'.

So funny that you did this! I've been listening to this album all week.

You need to listen to Widower by Dillinger Escape Plan! Another very accessible but very powerful song.

Yes! So glad you finally found your way to Dillinger. Hope to see you continue to explore them.

Yes, please more from The Dillinger Escape Plan! One of my all time favorite artists. They are hella unique and their catalogue is rock solid front to back.

"Taking outside risks" is the understatement of the year when talking about DEP. Great review!!!

Soulfully disfiguring is perfect to describe the Dillinger Escape Plan

Always loved this song and I agree with loving raw, organic production and performance that hasn't been cleaned up post-prod

My all time favorite band and one of my favorite composer reaction channels. Awesome!!!!!!!

Your processing of this music is so relatable, i be bobbing and weeving like Im boxing mouthing what i think the lyrics are, the disjointedness sticks and really sours the attitude but when you get in it, it consumes you. Makes your heart ride a mountain with no suspension Dillenger is the best, i have subbed good sir i will watch more of your vids

Loved seeing the music cogs turning in your head as the song went further in!

This is a very pop-ish and mellow song from them! Much of it is VERY disjointed and hectic - yet also oftentimes with jazzy pieces and beautiful hooklines, or weird electronic/ambient or even classical breakdowns. Many songs have a much much harder metal side. Some songs are mostly ambient or transitional, and some songs like Widower, Horse Hunter and Endless Endings, have it all, with all kinds of odd instrumentations etc. THANK YOU for doing this! And im so glad you enjoyed it and/or found it intriguing! ❤️❤️🍀🍀

I'm so glad you did this because I love this band, but had simply not listened to them in a long time! Now I'm diving back into their discography, and it's such a treat! They were truly one of a kind, and there has never been, and likely never will be again, a band that puts on such an absolutely INSANE live show! They would regularly be doing crazy guitar solos while crowd surfing (after diving guitar first off a stack into the crowd) and hanging upside down from the rafters screaming entire verses of songs, and that's just the tip of the iceberg! What I'd give to see them live one last time!!

Fantastic! Been hoping you'd check them out for a while now and I'm stoked you finally did. As many others have pointed out, One of Us is the Killer is their most accessible track but I think something that gets overlooked is that it's not accessible because they dumbed their sound down, but because they had fine-tuned it over the past decade. As you noted a couple times, it's a very complex song with a lot of unusual choices & transitions. That complexity and unusualness is a big part of their sound, but most of their prior discography was much more experimental in format while the album this track came from took that sound and put it into a more familiar rock/metal structure. Their earliest albums didn't even bother with the traditional verse/chorus structure on most songs. Other awesome tracks are Milk Lizard, Black Bubblegum, Baby's First Coffin, Unretrofied, and, of course, Farewell, Mona Lisa.

Thanks for delving into this band. One of my favorites. Take some time and listen to their other works. This tune is one of the tame ones.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING DILLINGER!

Your reaction to this brought me soooooo much joy

Yes, exactly: "soulfully disfigured" - that's THE correct definition of at least that album, and the song in question in particular, though they also have Widower, which kinda sorta invokes VERY similar emotions and feelings

This one is a great starting point before the chaos, I love this song

Refreshing my request for Faith No More reactions. Great breakdown as always Geebz, and I hope your shoulder gets better.

This track is always so crafty, hard to believe this passed as a single, showing how music and labels use to take chances with some bands

Lovely, i asked for some TDEP like 2 weeks ago and now theres already a video on it, lucky me :)

Awesome that you’ve got to Dillinger! The opener to this album is a tune called “Prancer” and it sets such a chaotic tone for the rest of the album. Would love to see you review that! Keep up the awesome work 🤟🏻

Please react to 'Mouth of Ghosts' by these guys, it's jazzy, it's light and a total antithesis to the shotgun going off in your face that is their normal output.

This group is a group that takes time to understand and appreciate!

that song was so good live! oh i can remember the feels from the crowd and all singing along. Give it time... reunion tour!!!

Welcome to one of the greatest bands. They’ll constantly change perspective and it’s beautiful. One of my favorite bands of all time.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Farewell, Mona Lisa AWWRIGHTTT! Congrats on a year doin this fun shit, glad to have found ya :)

Whoever requested this....THANK YOU! Absolutely stunning song!

I love the way you analyze music.

So stoked to see you do this band. They were on of my favorite live bands. Please... please do converge, I think you'd be really impressed with thier later catalouge

HEYYY MY GUY! So happy you got to it and enjoyed it :) AWWWWRIGHT! 🤙 PS. Farewell, Mona Lisa is an absolute banger and showcases their range pretty well. Milk Lizard, Unretrofied, and Black Bubblegum are the more traditional type songs(?) Some of the heavy weird chaotic shit they get into is Panasonic Youth, 43% burnt, Paranoia Sheilds, Honeysuckle

I was not expecting to see a Dillinger song here. Give Prancer by them a swing also!

Easiest DEP jam ever, but dude, I think "Soulfully Disfiguring" is the greatest and most accurate description of DEP ever. Well done.

This is the first time I’ve heard this song. Always was aware of Dillinger but have never gave them the time. I should start now.

Yesssss ssiiiirrr 😍😍😍😍😍 sooo stoked! Finally!!

Love love LOVE this band. Please react to more from them.

Love your vibes bro!

I need more Dillinger in my life. The first two tracks from Miss Machine are among my favorites (Panasonic Youth and Sunshine the Werewolf)

Love The DEP! Glad you finally got around to these guys. Would like to see you someday do a video on their song "When I Lost My Bet".

That opening was disjointed. Welcome to TDEP, prepare to have every joint dislocated

Awesome you did a Dillinger track!! Also great you started off with One of Us is the Killer, you are about to step into a whole 'nother realm with this band! Still hoping for a suprise album by these guys..🙏🏻 (they broke up suddenly, so they could be back equally suddenly 😁)

The lyrics in this are amazing. What a write!!! DAMN.

Loved this one! Please do some Aphex Twin. You'll find him very interesting! "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" is al oldie but goldie!

holey smokes, a new video with "Dillinger Escape Plan" in the title in my notifications forced me to drop what i was doing and watch!!! i haven't heard that band in a long time. this was cool

Would love to hear more of Dillinger reviews from you - Farewell Mona Lisa or Limerent Death if you are interested in how they are layering multiple jazzy and metal moods in one song; Happiness is a Smile for a great example of modern metal production that is not just djenty chuggs, Mouth of Ghosts for even more elaborate but still mellow soundscapes. Or - Prancer, just to see how they sound when they are going full aggro.

I’d recommend limerent death, farewell Mona Lisa, pranced and sunshine the werewolf, maybe milk lizard and 43% burnt too. Those are pretty much their most famous songs (apart from sunshine maybe, not sure about that one) and they showcase pretty much everything Dillinger does best. 43% burnt does have a different vocalist though. Love the vids, keep up the great work!

"soulfully disfiguring" is basically "The Dillinger Escape Plan in two words"

God I can't wait for more of these

You should definitely do some more Dillinger. They are quite varied across their discography (a shame they've split up now). I'd recommend: - 43% Burnt - When Good Dogs Do Bad Things (maybe my favourite) - Farewell, Mona Lisa (the song that got me into them) - The Widower

So glad you finally got around to listening to some Dillinger. I really hope you get to listen to more of them. (personal suggestion is "Understanding Decay" from the album One of Us is the Killer, but many other commenters have left you many good suggestions) PS: They had three different singers through their tenure, so buckle up for a wild ride. Keep up the great work!

Its crazy to think how long ago it was their first ep dropped... I am old.

Great introduction to Dillinger! Hope you explore more from them because you only just scratched the surface of their music lol

Widower and Mouth of Ghosts are my favorites from them, so good. props for reviewing them!

Hey Geebz, cool to see you do some Dillinger. They're one of my favourite bands of all time, would be great to see you do some more. Sunshine the Werewolf is one of my favourite songs ;) Aloha

I personally really love "Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants". I can highly recommend looking into that one

Hope your arm feels better soon Geebz!

wow! so rad that you're diving into Dillinger. This song is one of their more melodic songs, typically the have more of a disjointed chaotic sound contrasted with melodic parts. Their very first album is very hardcore technical chaos but they get more melodic with each album.

These are the masters of chord changes

Hey great stuff. I’d love to see you react to some Manchester Orchestra!
