Let's take a vote.

Does DEP suck balls?

Yes or No.

I say yes!

Old DEP no,
New DEP yes!

all pre-Ire Works = YES

Ire Works will be better than people expect but ultimately disappointing.

my thoughts exactly

Well, DEP does have some interesting parts to their songs, but I just can't get past the sub-par vox.

Greg is a decent vocalist but his vocals are way too apparent in the mix. Dmitri's were just another layer as opposed to him being a 'lead vocalist'.

I thought Lurch was a solid song. Pretty "standard" DEP though.

it tries way too hard, it's a pretty bland song with lots of needless guitar wank on top of it.

I thought it sounded like alot of their other stuff at a first glance, but whatever. I still liked it.

The new songs are decent. DEP is pretty much fu[size=2]cke[/size]d for the rest of their existence though, because people are always going to be comparing their new material to Calculating Infinity, which they will never achieve again.

And people won't like them as much since Chris Pennie left.

well, Chris did write a huge chunk of the material. Gil is doing find as a drummer but they clearly need Chris to write. I think Chris had a hand in at least some of the album though so we'll see.

Yeah he was still playing with them when I saw some youtube vid of them rehearsing.

This. Everything after [I]Calculating Infinity[/I] sucked.

This because it is true, unless they heard [I]Miss Machine[/I] first and never experienced [I]Calculating Infinity[/I]. Then, the listener sucks, period.

[QUOTE=Thor;15420311]And people won't like them as much since Chris Pennie left.[/QUOTE]

This because Pennie was an absolute beast of a drummer.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15417758]oh yeah. I get them mixed up, nevermind.

DEP rules, even though Ire Works will probably be disappointing.[/QUOTE]

Srsly, if you are ragging on DEP, you either

a.) Probably don't like metal
b.) Like poopty metal
or
C.) Are just really stupid

Nothing else to it. No Eleventeen, they aren't "boring drawn out "dissodant" music", considering they were one of the first bands to play their style of music.

I meant all pre-Ire Works YES as in I really liked it.

Gil is technically proficient too, about equally I'd say. Less precise more fluid.

lol

Hbp, if people don't like DEP that doesn't mean they're stupid. They're not exactly the easiest band to get into. It took me multiple listens to really get into Calculating Infinity.

yeah and lol at dissodance

no way guys they were the first boring dissonant band

remember R&M

Eh, I am not too familiar with Gil's work, and I have yet to listen to the new song that they have released, so I really could not tell you what I think of him.

Chris Pennie is just...Chris Pennie. :p

Pennie was great, though some of his solo videos are kind of obnoxious. He's really talented, but they just didn't appeal to me at all.

Yeah just listened to [I]Lurch[/I]. Nothing interesting. They need a new approach to their music.

It'd be awesome if they made more stuff like "Phone Home".

Have you guys heard Black Bubble Gum? It's pretty cool. Definitely the most straight-forward song they've ever done but the hooks are pretty solid.

Well, solo drums are not always the most entertaining solos to watch. :)

This exactly. I also think Gil is the better drummer even though Chris suits the band much better, musically.
