The Dillinger Escape Plan - Dissociation ALBUM REVIEW 

Love these guys 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 they gave me everything I wanted, they were everything to me

It was the only 10 I gave this year. Then again the Deftones-Esque tracks and the Patton worship are definitely my camp. Same with Fugue. For a band who put out both Calculating Infinity and Ire Works this was a wonderful send off to em

No review for the new Opeth album?

I know Greg is in the group killer be killed and and Ben is in another band called giraffe tongue orchestra both I guess could be considered "super groups" both great...I'm sure this has all already been said but I didn't scroll down to read all the comments

Hellooo Have you forgot ? Korn the serenity of suffering is out

Graveyard broke up out of nowhere, it was a sad moment for me.

crystal fighters - everything is my family

This album sounds like an angry man screaming in your face as he throws his entire record collection at you.

Incredible album. 9/10 IMO

I guess you could say, Dillinger finally escaped

HEY HEY HYE HI YO WADDUP!??!? Hope everyone is doing well. Got lots of reviews coming down the pipe: Gaga, DRAM, Korn, Oberst, Wormrot, The Game. Just sit tight. ILU.

This, in my opinion, is one of the Dillinger Escape Plan's finest hours. "Dissociation" wears some influences on its sleeve, of course - I can hear Squarepusher on "Fugue", Deftones on "Symptom of Terminal Illness", Mahavishnu Orchestra's jazz fusion on "Low Feels Blvd" and Mr. Bungle on various spots throughout the album - but... it's distinctly Dillinger and it's the most bold and experimental (coherently so) they've ever been (yes, this is even bolder than Ire Works, and much more coherent in its diving into the avant-garde realm). It's consistent and it manages to balance immaculately all the elements that make TDEP such a great band: the jazziness and the heaviness, the free-flowing nature of their music and the tight-as-clinking-glass chaotic and mathematically dizzying sections of their song structures... everything on this machine feels so refined and well-oiled. Still shocked with the band's break-up but at least they left us off with a tremendous, earth-shattering bang. And seriously, that fucking final riff on Honeysuckle destroyed so many cosmic dimensions in one minute.

At least an 8. Probably a 9. Fight me.

Strong 7 almost feels more positive than a light 8 these days lol

>the internet's busiest music nerd >calls deftones >the deftones

Anthony is such a poseur, he only likes TDEP because Cal likes them.

For anyone that is disappointed about this being the last Dillinger record (and for those somehow unaware of this fact), Ben Weinmann and Greg Pusciato have their own bands with members of Mastodon (another epic technical heavy band). Ben does guitars for Giraffe Tongue Orchestra with Brent Hinds, and Greg does guitar and vocals for Killer Be Killed with Troy Sanders. To me, this record is incredible in itself simply because it fulfils Ben's dream of wanting Dillinger to 'pull a seinfeld and go out with a bang'.

The first song is a masterpiece

WE WANT MORE NEGATIVE REVIEWS

I saw the thumbnail and my first thought was "uh oh"

Your boy Zach Hill was on the last track.

Interested to hear how Fantano feels about Faith No More, and really Mike Patton in general.

Can't believe that it's almost been 5 years since this masterpiece was released.

Review the new Car Bomb, mainstream pleb

>the deftones >the

"Emo as fuck" Anthony has no idea what Emo is.

easily tdep were the greatest modern metal band of all time

You know who is touring with Dillinger Escape Plan? Bent Knee. You know which band's future releases you said you were gonna look out for and have neglected? Bent Knee.

Well Anthony, maybe they wanted to die heroes instead of living long enough to see themselves become villains?

How dare you hate fugue

How the fuck are you not gonna mention that Zach Hill is on the title track?

9.9/10 probably their best album imho, i just love it, gonna miss these guys

You may say Fugue doesnt fit in the album at all but i feel like its to set the stage for Dissociation, even though Fugue is in the middle of the album while Dissociation ends it.

This album is more of a grower than One of Us was, as One of Us is probably their most accessible album. This album experiments a lot more, it's incredibly dense, and may even seem disorienting on the first listen or two (hence the album title). The 7/10 score doesn't bother me because you didn't like the album as much as I did, but the score seems a bit arbitrary as the content of the review makes it seems higher than that. You obviously listen to a shit ton of music daily and because of that I feel like you heard this album a couple times and thought it's just Dillinger doing what they usually do and put together a somewhat lazy review.

Calculating Infinity classic review when?

Zach Hill is on that record... Just sayin

The title track almost made me cry. Long live.

This is a 10/10, not because of the music alone, but because many tracks seem to provide a mini landmark in metal history and pay tribute to the fundamental bands that shaped the genre to be what it is today. This is one of the greatest metal albums made in history.

I wanna hear you shit on Eminem's new track.

Stick to memes, Fantwan

Every Time I Die - Low Teens! Let's go!

Review The Black Queen! It has Greg in it.

I believe Dillinger mentioned the album had nothing to do with the band parting ways in an interview.

why does he sound so salty? like at the end hes describing the band's end and he sounds like he doesnt care

Solid 8, I think. And I hear NIN influences in more than one song. And I just saw them live a few days ago and still cannot believe it was in all likelihood the last time...

I give this band 5 years before they're back together

You should review their first album m8.

This is a 10

"Sudden Instrumental Shifts" Yea, that's sort of what DEP is known for. I could have told you that about this album without even listening to it.

Favorite DEP albums: 1. Miss Machine 2. Ire Works 3. One of Us is the Killer 4. Calculating Infinity 5. Option Paralysis Favorite songs (reverse order): 8. Milk Lizard (memetards will say this is too "soft" for them and then go on to praise "One of Us is the Killer") 7. Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants (same as above) 6. 43% Burnt 5. Prancer 4. Lurch 3. Fix Your Face 2. Calculating Infinity 1. The Perfect Design

I believe they have stated that the lyrics and the title weren't about the breakup of the band. The artwork, however, seems fairly obviously to refer to that of their first LP Calculating Infinity, being as it depicts shattered vacuum tubes. Also having just started to get into this one, I think I have noticed a few musical nods to earlier albums, so I wonder if there are various little subtle references and easter eggs hidden throughout.

Fav track: "Honeyuckle" HONEYUCKLE? Put some effort into these videos smh.

The track Honeysuckle SLAPS

On a recent listen, I felt that, although it's a good album, it's far too compressed. I far prefer the wider and more abrasive sounds of One of Us is the Killer, and Miss Machine, two of my all-time favourite albums.

Hey Anthony, one of my favorite albums of all time is Brand New's The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. I've always wondered your thoughts on the album. The tenth anniversary of its release is coming up on November 20th, you should consider doing a review. Thanks senpai Fantany.

So far this album has blown me away. The energy it captures is pure insanity. This album and their last 2 are all tied for first in my book

'The Deftones'

Mouth of Ghosts is a masterpiece.

Surprised there was no mention of Zach Hill's drumming on the last song....

Love me some maymays

you should check out the black queen. Greg is singing on that and there's some guy that was in Nine Inch Nails I'm not a hundred percent sure but it's really really cool stuff

do calculating infinity!!!!!

This is a strong 8/10 for me, and I think it's in their top 2 albums (nearly as good as Ire Works).

Please do kings of Leon. WALLS.

I thinks its cause of the well running drying thing you said and the possibility of them dying if they keep doing live shows. Went to the one they had on the 19th of october and fuckin yeesh it was intense.

Actually, he touches on it in this video without actually saying it, but the song structure in this album was amazing. The unexpected bridges to random jazz riffs, etc. I am one of the biggest Dillinger fans around, but my one criticism with Dillinger over the years was that almost every single song used a similar song structure. Crazy intense to start off a song, then break down into something softer and more melodic, then end with crazyness. This album finally gets that last part of "math" that i think was always missing from Dillinger's "math-core". The song structures weren't all the same thing and really made you wondering what was coming next in the song.

The more I come back to this album the more I feel that it’s a 10 across the board. This may be my favorite album of all time, it means so much to me.

*R I P* I'd probably give it a solid 8, or at LEAST a strong 7. I want to see some more mind-numbing metal on your channel, and it's less to do with the fact that you don't do it often, but because I tend to find that you don't like it as much as other genres that you've reviewed (i.e. your reviews for Meshuggah and Fallujah have often been leaving much to be desired). Does it have to be a new album? I've got 5 for you. 1.) Dance Gavin Dance- Mothership 2.) Ihsahn- Arktis. 3.) Obscura- Akroasis 4.) Intronaut- The Direction of Last Things 5.) anything by Between The Buried And Me and seriously, let's get a legitimate review of Monoliths and Dimensions by Sunn 0))). Please?

I'd probably give it a 9. Definitely one of my favorite albums this year which saying a lot because this was an amazing year for music

I hope more people will voice this, but I really wish you would spend attention to their Option Paralysis. Though it lacks some air to breathe in between I personally do feel it the most. Thanks for this and supreme meme reviews.

WHAT?!?!? This was their last album!?!?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOO!

if this album is an 8 one of us is the killer is a 10

im waitingggg for your reviews on gaga album

Should've given them a 43%.

Anthony the type of guy to give a classic album a 6 if it wasn't known as a classic lmao

Please review Joanne album!

I dig it! I'm gonna buy it. Might not be quite as good as one of us is the killer though.

there will never be another act as consistently vicious as dillinger escape plan.

I have a request... review D.R.A.M "big baby"

Why wear glasses if you're always looking over them?

I think it deserved a slightly higher rating than you gave it, by the way you were speaking. But, in my opinion, I think this was their best record yet, much better than their last and a perfect swan song to end their career.

If it's a metalcore album than you can pretty much guarantee Tony will give it at the very least a strong 6

I envy your job, i am certain

Holy shit, Fantano likes a metal album that isn't Ghost or hipster black metal

From that expression, I expected a five. Personally, this is my first dillinger escape plan album, and I was blown away.

Review The Deaner Album by Dean Ween Group

Please review Dangers - The Bend in the Break. Just dropped like a week ago. To my knowledge you've never reviewed a Dangers album

I honestly broke down in tears when I heard they were splitting up, so damn upsetting.

Hey man, you should check out the new Leonard Cohen album. It's probably his last and it's worth a listen

shrug. I can almost see points where this album drops a little to get that 10 down to a 9, maybe 8.5. But to 7? Wrong un

Such a great review! My only gripe is with your characterization of "Fugue." Theyve been doing weird electronic shit for years.

Do a review of Lance Skiiiwalkers LP

Hey, I know it's late, but I was just wondering what you thought of the Relient K record released in the summer entitled Air For Free

Make a review about a album people have heard of

Some of the lyrics I took as a response to Greg's relationship with Jenna Haze.

Harvey Fierstein told me those guys ruled. John Zorn called to tell me they’re great.

it's the exact same review as the one you made for "one of us is the killer"

Listen to: MACABRE OMEN: Gods Of War - At War --- TOOL on BlackMetal! ...ja...not really...but...so...that good...fogg...

Review The letter O by Dame Dolla aka Damian Lillard
