"This review is fucking obscene, I don’t think I’ve ever even read past the summary"



I have. I think it's an interesting document of how myopic many people are when faced with something a bit different, which is ironic as this band was always about being innovative and changing shit up.

First time listening all the way through. What a banger of an album, it has the poppier hits with Black Bubblegum and Milk Lizard, all of the grind stuff, and then the three longer/epic closing tracks. Why is this only a 3.7!?

I mentioned it a few pages back but I was a former hater but this has honestly aged so well and ranks with their best

no way I’m taking this over Calc or OP (aka: ‘OverPowered’) but it’s certainly competing for third place and would probably take it by a nose (from MM). This did get a bad rap for a while and it definitely wasn’t ever warranted but the tide had turned somewhat in more recent times (seemingly).

This is honestly my fourth or fifth fav Dillinger, but just goes to show how amazing this band is.

Miss Machine is my favorite but really the first 4 are the top 4 regardless of order

Dillinger and Death Grips are my hardest bands to rank, depending on my mood the order can change wildly.

Mouth of Ghosts is sooooooo good, it might even crack my top 3 here these days. Milk Lizard & Fix Your Face are 1/2. There’s competition after that, but maybe.

Bonus content: Dead As History is weird in that the vocal segments might be among the weakest on the album but I dig the instrumental break.

Whoa. I’m with you on Milk Lizard but BB would struggle to make my top idk 25 (how many songs do they have? lol)

I respect their attempt and it did serve a purpose in getting me into this album (and ‘more’ into tDEP), but it hasn’t stood the test of time as well as a lot of the material from their first 4 albums.
