- Release Info -------------------------------------------------------------- - Artist: The Dillinger Escape Plan Album: One of Us Is the Killer Label: Sumerian Records Playtime: 40:02 min Genre: Hardcore URL: Rip date: 2013-05-10 Street date: 2013-05-14 Size: 79.19 MB Type: Normal Quality: 263 kbps / 4410Hz / Joint Stereo - Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- - "Known for their incendiary live performances as much as they are their polarizing musical output, The Dillinger Escape Plan continue to tread a volatile course throughout ôOne Of Us Is The Killerô. Following a similar trajectory to that of ôOption Paralysisô, this latest affair pits melody against a whirlwind of challenging sonic shrapnel, but itÆs not entirely business as usual this time out. While ôOne Of Us Is The Killerö is certainly abrasive and hungry, itÆs not as big of a step away as ôMiss Machineö was. Sure thereÆs an abundance of self progression shown on this album, but its implementation is far more subversive. Rather than brash electronics or full blown stylistic commitments, itÆs the fleshed out part changes and indulgent æthrowawayÆ elements that truly stand out. ItÆs not just the case of a rabid dog learning some new tricks either. For the albums running order serves as much purpose as the individual songsÆ own unpredictable mood swings. Take for instance their jaunt through the repertoire of Refused on ôWhen I Lost My Betô. The trailing jazzy percussion and motormouth vocals that crop up arenÆt entirely out of the bands wheelhouse; but they are utilized to a jarring effect by following them up with the albums title trackùwhich itself is an immediate standout. Its sultry haze and subdued falsetto sound like something Sade could sing over if not for the underlying creepiness of the guitars and booming chorus. ôNothingÆs Funnyö follows soon after and chugs through menacing bass lines and high register The Mars Volta-styled weirdness; complete with syncopated keys and a flat out chorus (think ôUnretrofiedö with a more proggy slant.) The proverbial segue ôCH 375 268 277 ARSö boasts scratchy guitars and a lock-tight rhythm section; making for an unexpected instrumental breatherùthat is if one discounts the apparent cryptic backmasking buried at the end. ItÆs the smaller details like this where The Dillinger Escape Plan really sink their teeth in. The first impression may be a standardized diagnosis of their usual schizophrenia as caustic aggression and conflicted harmonies are the main ingredients. But itÆs in the impassioned nods to other genres and the nuanced overdubs and keys and the like that the bands evolution is fully displayed. ôOne Of Us Is The Killerö isnÆt just a band throwing feverish genre shifts and dissonant time signatures into a blender. ThereÆs far too much layering and sleight of hand lurking beneath the surface to relegate it as just another Dillinger album. The band still thrive on outright antagonism, but rather than flex their ego and force the listener down an enlightened path, they made it all the more appreciable by hiding it just out of view. ItÆs convincing proof that sometimes itÆs more rewarding when someone doesnÆt do all the work for you." - Track List ---------------------------------------------------------------- - 01.
