![]() Furthermore, ‘ Honey Suckle’ provides some of the best riffs you'll find amongst these 11 tracks, but sadly, riffs aren't quite everything. THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN recently decided that the creative masterpiece and associated touring cycle for 'Dissociation', the bands sixth full-length, will be its swan song. But like being stuck with a prime minister that you didn't vote for, you learn to deal with it and move on. Disc 1 Blue / Disc 2 Gold (comes with 1 enamel pin) 500 - White Available for first 500 pre-sale orders. Alternative holiday themed screen printed cover hand-numbered. Black (comes with back patch & round patch) 100 - Holiday Edition. Then we have the very best of the worst, ‘ Honey Suckle’, which again brings in their jazz sound but it interweaves between it and their usual mathcore/hardcore sound at such a rapid pace that it's immensely jarring and also distracting. Alternative screen printed cover hand-numbered. Dissociation is a music studio album recording by THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN (Tech/Extreme Prog Metal/Progressive Rock) released in 2016 on cd, lp / vinyl and/or cassette. ![]() After a nearly 20-year run, the New Jersey group is calling quits following the conclusion of its current tour. It’s a mighty accomplishment even among one of the most forward-thinking, intense, and excellent discographies ever. Such is the case with the Dillinger Escape Plan. ![]() As someone whos never actively listened to the band. After nearly 20 years spent pushing, pulling, coaxing, battering, tweaking and otherwise forcibly evolving the forms metal can take on, the Dillinger Escape Plan appear to be calling it a day. Dissociation wasnt much different, for me. Its a hit or miss scenario for much of their discography - even their softer tracks. Their chaotic music gave them their niche and was always hard to understand. Dissociation carries the trend to the very end. There was never really a quantifiable way of describing The Dillinger Escape Plan. A conviction, and still that classic progressive mentality. Rather than become stagnant, stable, and predictable, The Dillinger Escape Plan chose to push boundaries in every way even after widespread popularity. I won't go as far as to say that Dissociation dips into self-parody, as it's clear that for all the album's possibly misguided intentions, there's still an undeniable conviction present here. ‘ Low Feels Blvd’ is one-half metal, one-half jazz and it’s the latter that really steals the show, so much so that I just wished that it was a full jazz piece instead. I'm used to jarring trips from The Dillinger Escape Plan, not slogs. The dynamic and the emotionally serene middle section of ‘ Nothing To Forget’ is just surreal but it’s a shame that the band then returns to their typical heavy sound to wrap up the track, a feeling of which I can only equate to musical blue balls. The lengthy ' Wanting Not So Much' is such a mixed bag that I forgot it in a heartbeat upon each and every listen, save for the killer drum fills halfway through. Firstly, opener ‘ Limerent Death’ is the kind of stock standard cacophony the band produces and while good, it just fails to amaze me like some of the deeper cuts here do.
