Just picked this up and was wondering what people thought of it in comparison to earlier releases.

Personaly I think it is a good album but does not top the last release Ire Works or their crowning glory (in my eyes) Miss Machine.

Dillinger is at their best when they maange to putt he chaos together and lock in for brief periods of time and, though they do this on this album as many times as on any other, the "locked in" parts are just not as good. Also, there are no "Phone Home" or "Milk Lizard" like songs on here.

My favorite has to be Chinese Whispers and track 7 (I forget the name ATM).

Don't get me wrong, this album is really good but I don't see much in the ways of improvement... Love the vocals though!!! - Fri, 21 May 2010 4:27pm

I also really enjoy this album and I do dig the vocals as well. However, I still think the all time best Dillinger album is, "Calculating Infinity.".. this goes back to the Dimitri days.. - Tue, 1 Jun 2010 2:24pm

Upon further inspection I would also say the lyrics on this CD are inferior to past CD's :P - Tue, 1 Jun 2010 3:29pm

Have you heard of a band called, "The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza?" I have a feeling you may dig them. Cheers! - Sun, 6 Jun 2010 12:57pm Edited: Sun, 6 Jun 2010 1:03pm

I have heard of them but have not heard them. As long as they don't get too "The Devil Wears Prada" on me I might be interested. - Wed, 9 Jun 2010 11:15am

Haha! No man, they definitely have a Dillinger-esque sound to them. Some cool mathy stuff with some sick breakdowns.. lots of fun!!

Peace,
