The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis
This band is in present absolute leader is mathematic hardcore or better labeled as mathcore, and we can say that their concept is extremly influented by technical, progressive metal genre and alternative rock and metal. Young talented bands like Protest The Hero and Between the Buried and Me often take influences from the Dillinger Escape Plan. Singer Greg Puciato is still more influenced with famous singer and showman Mike Patton, known from Faith No More, Fantômas, Mr. Bungle, guest of John Zorn,etc. His vocal style is notable in Gregs voice in more tracks here. Some songs have partly lost typical chaotic extra aggresive DEP sound,but did not lose on quality. First single from "Option Paralysis" is "Farewell, Mona Lisa" where are colliding the two different poles of DEP music. "Good Neighbor" and "Endless Ending" are excellent examples disciple of chaotic-agressive pieces to previous albums. On the other way "Widower" is highly influented with jazz piano music and in vocals with already mentioned Mike Patton, the most notable before the fifth minute of song. The atmosphere of the last piece "Parasitic Twins" is reminding a lot of industrial Nine Inch Nails. Guys make in conspicuous movement in comparison with previous records. It reflects collaboration with known pianist Mike Garson. Songs are saturated with new ideas and tracks got richer arrangements, piano sounds in "Widower" and second half of "I Wouldn't If You Didn't". As a drummer I have to add opinion that on previous "Ire Works" has absented stunning drum job which this record gained back. In the end I just can declare that this ten - pieced "bunch of grapes" is very strong rival to my personally favourite record from DEP - "Miss Machine", and certainly Greg with company did not say the last word to the world of music.
very impressive music: "Widower", "Endless Ending", "Farewell, Mona Lisa"
rating is 9/10
