I'm not commenting on their vocal chops alone, but I think Dillinger as a whole is better than Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Faith No More... Is anyone actually disagreeing with that?

I also don't think Irony is a Dead Scene is Dillinger's best. For me that's One of Us is the Killer, followed by Ire works.

I'm fine if you want to say Mike Patton's a better vocalist on pure chops -- he is -- but Greg's made at least two albums I prefer to any Mike Patton album. Probably more.

I just found this comment funny "Dillinger is vastly better than any band Mike Patton has been in" Because Mike Patton *has* been in Dillinger, which you seem to be aware of.



For the record, I also prefer multiple Dillinger albums to any Patton albums.

I’m gonna be real, I don’t think anybody that says “Dillinger is VASTLY better than any band Mike Patton has been in” has literally just never listened to Mr. Bungle.



I mean I like Dillinger more overall too but California is such an insane record. And that’s not even getting into his FNM shit

I'll bite: I like angel dust and the first mr bungle more than the majority of dillingers albums, and i'm a huge dillinger fan. Is tdep more consistent than Mike pattons bands: sure but it's a preference of taste your comparing a band with a recognizable sound to a guy whose made a career of throwing everything at a wall.

Yeah, Mike Patton is just the kind of frontman that is “your favorite vocalist’s favorite vocalist”

“Is anyone actually disagreeing with that?”



Yes.



“I also don't think Irony is a Dead Scene is Dillinger's best. For me that's One of Us is the Killer, followed by Ire works.”



Those are their worst albums.

Common accepted opinion.



Although I personally find none of their albums to be 'bad'.

i've talked at length about ire works reception but i'll reiterate : sputnik is like the only website where it's considered their low point lol, it's a very acclaimed album. i like option much more but ire iss the blue print for everything after it. one of us is my least fav one though, it's great buuut idk
