Dillinger Escape Plan w/Mike Patton
Irony is a dead scene
Epitaph
Reviewed by KUUG

Before I go apeshit on this review I just wanna say I hate Epitaph records and it sucks that I had to give them my hard earned money. (Disclaimer: Once again,webzine owner is not responsible for reviewers opinion.) Ok,here we go. Anyone who is familiar DEP knows the style they play.Chaotic and Thoughtful,Incredible time changes.Well it's all here.Except departed vocalist Dmitiri.But this is the kicker...Mike Patton(Faith No More/Mr.Bungle fame)fits really well.The 4 songs on this cd are all great even the incredible cover of Aphex Twins 'Come to Daddy'.'Hollywood Squares'opens the carnage.Followed by the head smashing that is 'Pig Latin'.Then when you think it is safe'When good dogs do bad things'bludgeons you endlessly.The the capper is 'Come to daddy'.DEP blurs the lines between live and recorded on this cd.The songs are complex without losing any of the energy.This is a great record,too bad it's not a full length. Go buy this and then give Epitaph the finger.
