    My absolute favourite record of all time, such a shame that you're getting into them after they've broken up because the songs get a to whole new level when you're seeing them performed live. For me there won't be another band quite like Dillinger. R.I.P to the best

    FINALLY
    This is my favourite one overall and imo it's their most mature work and their best. Mouth of Ghosts is BEAUTIFUL and the short brutal tracks are just kinda perfect. Milk Lizard is a great rock song and Black Bubblegum is amazing as a pop song... Dillinger making pop music... and it WORKED.

    • @mollyesanborn
      @mollyesanborn  Рік тому +9

      Well said. Black Bubblegum surprised me too, so different for a Dillinger song! I guess I never shoulda tried to pin a specific sound to their music though, they're always changing it up. It's one of the reasons why they're such an awesome band.

      @@mollyesanborn I think they might be my overall favourite metal band from the early 2000's to the mid 2010's overall... And I think this record in particular cemented that for me for sure. Calculating Infinity is the math-metalcore classic but this album isn't just FUN but it also oozes *class*. The hilarious horn section on Milk Lizard and the utterly beautiful Mouth of Ghosts made these guys truly stand out and more than just a metal band: it just made them a great band overall.

    Im glad you have been enjoying their discography so far, if you want smth in the same vein as them just more modernised might i suggest The Callous Daoboys albums like Die On Mars & Celebrity Therapist.
    They’re a mish-mash of TDEP alongside bands like The Number Twelve Looks Like You, Every Time I Die, Daughters, Botch and such cuz hard to pinpoint their influences
    Their recent work has some very interesting influences from the likes of The Mars Volta to some art rock and such. Though my fav track is The Elephant Man In The Room which isn’t rlly much on he creativity department but enough uniqueness that makes it interesting and fun (my fav part is just the sudden chaos after a certain part)

    Time for a piping hot Dillinger hot take! Gil fit this band the best of all their drummers. Sure, Billy might have better technique, and Chris might have that ferocity, but Gil had a versatility and smoothness behind the kit that surpassed them both.
    Anyway, if you’re looking for an album similar to this one, I would suggest “Plague Soundscapes” by The Locust. They’re closer to grindcore than DEP’s math metal sound, but the instrumental arrangements on that album are astonishing.

    This album, as someone else said, was a watershed moment for them. For me though, I always will pick the next three records of theirs for that style. This one feels like a foreshadowing of the best of that jazz-electronic-metalcore fusion but I could never connect with it here cause it always felt a little too scattered to me; and not in the great manic sense you’d expect from dep, just kinda messy. There ARE absolutely dep classics here like fix your face, black bubblegum, milk lizard, and dead as history, but imo this sound thrived most once they figured out how to make everything flow into each other smooth as butter as strange as the fusions are. Loved watching your reaction still though- glad you liked it!

    Ire Works is my least favourite Dillinger Escape Plan album overall, but that's not saying much because it's still an outstanding album full of classics like Milk Lizard, Black Bubblegum, Mouth of Ghosts, Horse Hunter etc. They have never released a bad album and I'm so glad I was able to see them during their final UK tour pre-retirement in 2017. It was my 6th time seeing them live and it was emotional for me for sure.
