Greg's a fucking monster, his improvement from MM is staggering. Prancer is probably his best vocal performance yet.

"so what is it you don't like about MM calc? is it gregs screams?"
I think I've explained this before but I'll do it again because I like you ;)
My main grips with MM stem from 2 things, Greg and the production. Greg is inexperienced with Dillinger and it shows massively, since he hasn't found his own sense of aggression and malice along with his own identity with the band. His dull, monotone screams and average singing hinder MM throughout with himself appearing as a Dimitri clone who can sing although without the intensity and desperation that made Dimitri work with Dillinger perfectly. If you've listened to albums after MM, it's further becomes apparent how dull Greg is on MM (in my eyes anyway). His clean vocals became far better, becoming more dynamic (e.g. in 'Milk Lizard' his personality shines) and having an awesome falsetto to boot and his growls become more forceful and aggressive. An example is in 'I Wouldn't If You Didn't' where his screams are relentless and having a sense of a massive scale while his performances in MM just sound monotone, trying to bludgeon you rather than trying to outright crush you under the sheer weight of his aggression and keep you on edge with his higher range.
As for the production, it's the exact same problem as Greg's performance, dull and monotone. Despite the energy which Dillinger show the production holds them back since the guitar sounds far more flat than it should be and the Bass has less presence than their other albums. In Option (and the other albums to a lesser extent) the guitar sound was perfect, loud and bombastic yet not too clean with the shill high notes working perfectly with the mix while MM sounds neutered of its crushing and high pitched frenzy. Add these 2 factors with in my opinion Dillinger least interesting compositions (the 'clean' songs are nowhere as daring or interesting as their later ones and the spazzy songs flow so jarringly) and you have their album which in my opinion pales compared to their other albums.

Very good justification but:
