Most bands would love to end on a high note DEP actually did it. This album doesn't feel so much like the work of a band trying to make a career-high album as much as a band using a great record to remind us why they've made so many in the first place. Whether this is their best record is a matter of personal taste more than any kind of qualitative argument. If Dissociation truly is DEP's final record, they're at least going out in peak form. Perhaps, though, the clearest evidence is the most succinct: "I withdraw, you advance/ The move is complete". To wit: the album opens with Puciato snarling, "I'm amazed at how you'll reinforce your guard/ 'Cause deep inside you're still a son of a bitch", and ends with him repeatedly crooning, "Finding a way to die alone" as if it's a mantra he's using to make peace with it.Įlsewhere, numerous references to some kind of relationship ending litter the album: "Make yourself present/ Are you hiding?/ Do you feel guilt?/ 'Cause mine's dying" and "I used to be so pissed off/ Then I forgot/ Then I erased you" come to mind. Here, the vibe of the record is that of a messy break-up, which may well confirm the band's (permanent) end. Featured peformers: Greg Puciato (vocals), Benjamin Weinman (lead guitar, assistant engineer), Kevin Antreassian (guitar, additional engineer), Liam Wilson (bass), Billy Rymer (drums. Rated 40 in the best albums of 2016, and 4168 of all time album. Released 14 October 2016 on Party Smasher (catalog no. That said, this record sees DEP playing with some new ideas, too: "Nothing to Forget" features a watery arena guitar opening and a beautiful, proggy bridge, and "Apologies Not Included"'s final third is about as close as DEP have ever gotten to being funky.īut DEP wouldn't be DEP without Puciato's antagonistic lyrics. Dissociation, an Album by The Dillinger Escape Plan. In fact, you can watch in real time the band's fascinating career transformation from frantic schiczophrenia to sinister, calculating psychopathy. It's all here, complete with Greg Puciato's half-choked yelp-screech. 5.0 classic Review by Futures USER ( 11 Reviews) October 18th, 2016 787 replies Release Date: 2016 Tracklist Review Summary: One last breath. Everything they do well is featured here: mainstream rock riffing, left-field melodic breakdowns, twitchy, nervous swaying, five-minute prog freakouts, seasick lurching, and, of course, their trademark spastic morse code gymnastics. It was released on Octoby Party Smasher Inc. To that end, Dissociation acts as a sort of 'greatest hits' - or, perhaps, greatest ideas. (album) Dissociation is the sixth and final album by American metal band The Dillinger Escape Plan. The record is less a progression from One of Us is the Killer than the band further rounding off the sharp corners from earlier efforts as they have with each record since Miss Machine. The band was formed in 1997 in Morris Plains, New Jersey by guitarist Ben Weinman, bassist Adam Doll, vocalist Dimitri Minakakis, and drummer Chris Pennie. It's fitting, then, that their perfectly titled new record, Dissociation, might well be their last. The Dillinger Escape Plan was an American metalcore band.
