It’s hard to go wrong with any of them. One of the hardest rankings I’ve done by far
This kind of reminded me of doing the Reviewing EVERY Death Album video. Cause like, every album is great. Even the 'worst' or least favourite album is still great.
You should do a video of you reviewing every Entombed/Entombed AD album and invite Necrotic Nick of the Thralls of Metal onboard as a special guest.
That would be awesome 🤘🤘
TDEP was actually the first "core" band I listened. Ironically the song was One of Us Is the Killer (the most acessible one, I guess) and I remembered of loving it the first time. After that, I went more into metal music and more into their songs and yeah, awesome band with a awesome discography as you said. Great video as always dude, another "Reviewing Every Album" you could made is "Reviewing Every Converge Album", another master band of metalcore
I'd be fine with that, love Converge myself.
One obviously loves the fact that Dillinger were technical, deep, intellectual, etc. But honestly if I had to describe them in a word it would be “cool”. They were just 100% badass from start to finish of their career. Not a single cringy moment from their discography, not one failed experiment. Flawless, stylish execution at all times. But I think a big part of the coolness also comes from their super simple and nondescript aesthetic, their unpretentious modest soft-spokeness, letting their powers speak for them (except when they had psychotic breaks with reality where they literally threw shit at people). They exuded an aura of extreme discipline, drive, self-mastery, seriousness, never arrogant or rock-starish for a moment. Focus, commitment, sheer-will, like John Wick pretty much
Everyone's takes on Dillinger record rankings is always interesting to me. Dissociation is my favorite album lol Long live the greatest band of all time.
Dissociation
One of Us is the Killer
Irony is a Dead Scene
Option Paralysis
Ire Works
Miss Machine
Calc
The Dillinger Escape Plan is one of the greatest metalcore bands of all time and are pioneers of the mathcore style of metalcore. They have a very consistent discography but for the sake of a ranking here would be mine, though every album is very good:
6. One of Us Is the Killer
5. Calculating Infinity
4. Dissociation
3. Ire Works
2. Option Paralysis
1. Miss Machine
Thank you! I have not paid enough attention to Ire Works and Option Paralysis. I will remedy this mistake right away.
One of the greatest, most innovative bands in the genre.
Insanely consistent discography.
6. Calculating Infinity
5. Miss Machine
4. Dissociation
3. Option Paralysis
2. Ire Works
1. One of Us is the Killer
My favorite is absolutely Calculating Infinity. I think part of it is that I really really like Dmitri's vocals and the damn drumming. I love that psychotic, frenzied writing. My favorite track by then is either Sugar Coated Sour or Clip the Apex.
Welcome to happy pants land!
I've been waiting for this!
Hell yes! Ire Works was my favorite for a LONG time cuz it was my first… but then One Of Us Is The Killer came out and is now one of my all time favorite albums EVER
Understandable, both are incredible.
I love the fact that you really only find unique acts like DEP in metal
DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been listening to them since Option paralysis. Dang man this is one of the best bands, and one of the first bands that got me into metal to in the beginning. I'm so glad you decided to do this video ranking for them 🤘🏾
Your food analogies are always spot on 👌 ..."stranger's candy takes you where you wanna be..."
Camus (Cammoo) and Kirkegaard (keer kuh guard) for anyone interested in them existentialist philosophers. Also Nietzsche (Neechuh) and Sartre (sart with something like a trwuh at end if you're really going for it) because many had difficult names for white guys from Western Nebraska (me)
You wrote a much better song on the intro than the entirety of Mainstream Sellout by Machine Gun Kelly, Including the Deluxe Edition.
This band is basically if members of Nine Inch Nails and Dream Theater had intercourse with each other and gave birth to a baby.
Apparently I have to check these guys out, that’ll be yet another band I’ve discovered thanks to this channel, thank you good sir!
One of Us Is The Killer is for sure my favorite TDEP album, but like you said, they literally don't have a bad album at all. A strong case could definitely be made for using these guys as the go-to example of the most consistent discography you could ever hope to have as a band. Straight up legends that I will never get tired of listening to. It's wild to think how big they actually got considering the fact that like 90%-95% of their material isn't exactly accessible to the average listener.
1. Ire works
2. Miss machine
3. Option paralysis
4. One of us is the killer
5. Dissociation
6. Calculating infinity
Man i wish i could watch this now, cant wait to check it after work
My boys!! Thank you for this
And I thought I was the only one who believes Ire Works is their best album! Hell yes!
The Dillinger Escape Plan was my introduction to mathcore and will always be along with Daughters as my favorite Band.
The Dillinger Escape Plan EP (1997) - 7.5/10
Under The Running Board EP (1998) - 7.8/10
Calculating Infinity LP (1999) - 9.8/10
Irony Is a Dead Scene EP (2002) - 7.4/10
Favorite TDEP Record: Miss Machine LP (2004) - 10/10
Ire Works LP (2007) - 9.2/10
Option Paralysis LP (2010) - 7.5/10
One of Us Is the Killer LP (2013) - 8.7/10
Dissociation LP (2016) - 8.5/10
Respect the Calculating. I think when that album hits hard, nothing beats that energy. Absolutely nothing.
Daughters is sick. I was in a grindcore / math core band in high school and it was essentially just us trying to sound like a cross between them, TDEP and The Locust. Lol
The first time I heard Daughters was when they played a show with The Black Dahlia Murder and The Bled and I was really turned off initially because Alexis kept spitting on everyone, grabbing his crotch and doing his little wiggly fingers. They ended up becoming a favorite for sure 😂
hearing that miss machine came out on the exact day of my birthday was a surprise and i will definitely be checking it out
Started listening to TDEP when Irony is a Dead Scene released. One of my All time favorite bands, and was lucky to see the band 4 times, one of those being when they opened for Deftones.
dillinger escape plan is my favorite jazz band
I still have yet to hear a TDEP record but what I have heard is really fucking impressive, the cover of Aphex Twin's Come to Daddy on that EP they did with Mike Patton especially on is one of the oddest covers and songs that I've ever heard in general
I know that it is a completely different genre but will you do a complete discography review of Revocation once the new album comes out? Love your videos, man! Keep up the good work!!
Id be down, love me some Revocatiom
Thanks for doing this. Still need to better explore this band. How’s about a Converge tier list?
Oh definitely. Not sure when exactly, but definitely.
Great video. Here is my ranking:
6. Calculating Infinity
5. Miss Machine
4. One of Us is the Killer
3. Dissociation
2. Ire Works
1. Option Paralysis
I will never understand people hating on Option Paralysis.
My DEP ranking has to be
6: Calculating Infinity (2.5/5 or 3/5)
5: Ire Works (3.5/5)
4: One of Us is the Killer (4/5)
3: Option Paralysis (4/5)
2: Dissociation (4.5/5 or 5/5)
1: Miss Machine (5/5)
Great video. Always loved TDEP. Very consistent band, hard to rank their albums. My ranking would go like this:
1: Miss Machine
2: Irony Is a Dead Scene
3: Ire Works
4: One of Us Is the Killer
5: Calculating Infinity
6: Option Paralysis
7: Dissociation
Going through a difficult breakup right now. Disassociation is really therapeutic right now.
Hang in there bud, you'll be alright.
I’ve never listened to these guys or really any Mathcore in general. I’ll definitely give them a try though!
Thanks for the great video as always 🤘🤘
Have you listened to them yet? What did you think?
@@PanasonicTooth I’ve only listened to Under the Running Boards and Calculating Infinity so far. I’ve been into extreme metal for years now but honestly these guys are probably the most intense and chaotic band I’ve ever heard. Definitely not music to listen to while you’re trying to do something, I feel like I would just start smashing stuff! I can see how it could sound like complete random noise to some people…
But as stressful as it is to listen to, I can also hear it’s meticulously crafted and it keeps my interest throughout. I already have a lot of respect for them as musicians and songwriters and definitely going to listen to the rest of their albums!
Cheers 🤘🤘
For me miss machine and option paralysis are the top followed together by killer and ire works. As you said though, none of their albums are even close to being bad.
Completely agree. Pretty much a flawless discography and probably my favorite band of the past 20 years.
1. Irony is a dead scene(10/10)
2. Ire works(10/10)
3.option paralysis(10/10)
4.Miss Machine(10/10)
5. Calculating Infinity (9.5/10)
6. One of us is the killer(9.5/10)
7.Dissociation (9/10)
Humblebrag: I have a pool... and a hot tub.
pool party when?
@@themetalmeltdownofficial Whenever I can get Motley Crue to play in my backyard. I'm trying to get them at a discount.
This and Metal trenches videos got me interested in actually listening to Dillinger. Now I've listened to them all except Dissociation (there isn't a full upload or playlist on UA-cam so I'll have to pay to listen to it) here's my list
1) Miss machine
2) One of us is the killer
3) option paralysis
4) Ire works
5) calculating infinity
All of them are really damn good
YEEEEEEEEEEE
@@themetalmeltdownofficial I don't know why I've been skipping out on them for years, their music is right up my alley. Gonna have to get some on CD.
Though I completely disagree with your take on dissociation. It's fantastic. Lol... I actually thought it was a nice "back to form" for their last out... Great reviews
The Dillinger Escape Plan were incredible band, I think they are one of few true innovators in music scene. It was obnoxious, loud, aggressive and yet somehow catchy and fun to listen to, which is something that's hard to mix well.
Just thinking about it, I can't even rank their albums properly. If I were to rank them, it would be like:
6. *Calculating Infinity*
5. *Dissociation*
3. shared by both *Miss Machine* and *Option Paralysis*
1. shared again by both *Ire Works* and *One of Us Is the Killer*
Easily my favourite artist, although they might've been tied with Nine Inch Nails had Trent stopped the project after 'With Teeth'.
Dissociation was far too compressed for Dillinger's typically chaotic, snarly sound. It lacks bite. Compare the tracks with anything from Miss Machine or One Of Us....
Anyway, for what its worth;
1. One Of Us Is the Killer
2. Miss Machine
3. Ire Works
4. Dissociation
5. Option Paralysis
6. Calculating Infinity
Lol the good ol mathcore boys, 43% burnt still gets me movin
I feel bad for the dude who isnt movin' when that starts playin'.
Hahahaha yeah funny enough...i was listening all their discography ....truly the most fucking- no fucks given pushing boundaries groups ever!!!
Irony Is a Dead Scene 5/5
Unfortunately i felt the same way about "Dissociation". Still a very good album but for as groundbreaking a band as they were there just wasn't much here i hadnt heard before. If i was unfamiliar with DEP and thrn heard the album it would be fresh and awesome, but you hit the nail on yhe head with the fact by this time a formula had been established and they weren't really blowing my mind with anything new.
That and personal bias aside, DEP are by far one of the greatest bands ive ever come across.
TDEP is the Greatest Mathcore band of all time. Honestly not gonna even make a tier list for this band since everything would be B tier or above lol. So I’ll just rank em instead
7 Calculating Infinity- (Its a monumental Debut album for sure. I really like it but have never loved this album. Not the biggest fan of Dimitri’s vocals much at all. His vocals get tiring pretty fast for me. Dillinger definitely laid the Groundwork on this album but they improve upon their sound SOOO much. Very impressive album nonetheless)
6 Irony is a Dead Scene (I really think that Mike Patton really taught TDEP the importance of Experimentation, it’s a good ep)
5 One of us is the Killer (It’s Option Paralysis but for some reason I don’t quite enjoy as much. Great album though still)
4 Dissociation (This was a Great album to end their career on imo. I can understand your Critiques though)
3 Miss Machine (This is when imo The Dillinger Escape Plan truly become AMAZING, Greg Puciato was one of the best possible Vocalist choices Ben Weinman and the boys could have chosen since Patton left)
2 Option Paralysis (This is definitely imo possibly their most interesting album. I like how chaotic Greg goes on this album, Masterpiece. Was beyond hard to choose between this or Ire Works as my favorite)
1 Ire Works (Couldn’t agree with you more with this Masterpiece🐐)
this video reminds me I need to escape the United States
On Ire Works was there a Mastodon member as a guest?
maaaaybe come to think of it
@@themetalmeltdownofficial Ok thanks. I will look it up.
I don’t think they ever made a bad album
You should review every Linkin Park album
Mom can you come pick me up? There are people here who like Black Bubblegum.
Will we ever see a Strapping Young Lad discography, or even Devin's solo albums?
Mathcore to me is just like they set someone loose who has adhd on the instruments, they have riffs here and there that I like, but overall the music lacks abit of the subtlety with riff changes, which sometimes the subtle things can be the most effective, yes Mathcore bands are insanely technical and skilled at techniques but it's almost like the songwriting isn't honed in on that same level, I partly get that's what they go for, atleast it makes them sound individual, but when you go for one riff to another that is nothing alike and just completely different it kind of sounds abit forced. I actually think Greg is a great vocalist though I can appreciate what he does more in killer be killed. Having said all this though I still plan on hearing more from them and staying open minded as I do like some prog.
I mean, that's basically the point of the entire genre. Yes it sometimes might come off as pretentious or too complex just for the sake of it, but it's definitely a really interesting sound, and when it's done right, it sounds great, pretty much the same with prog
Tbh I never really could get into math core. It’s really just not my thing and I don’t like the vocals for tdep either. They are one of those popular bands I just can’t get into
The Dillinger Escape Plan is my favourite band. Honestly, I have enjoyed everything they have done. My Ranking:
6. Calculating Infinity (4/5)
5. Ire Works (4/5)
4. Miss Machine (4.5/5)
3. Disassociation (4.5/5)
2. Option Paralysis (5/5)
1. One of Us Is the Killer (5/5)
How its possible to remember dep song titles?! The songs usually sound too much the same, good band nevertheless
