  • All Dillinger's stuff is amazing. This showcases Greg's awesome vocal range. Musical diversity is a great thing, especially when they can stay true to what they love, while still pleasing people.

  • This is the only song I like by Dillinger...

  • @imjustakid22 Go listen to Broadway and Emarosa then.

  • this is simply great!

  • im the type that thinks dillingers first cd is still their best, but i still love this song!

  • Dillinger videos are so fucking strange.

  • haha

    

  • Seeing them live tomorrow, will go nuts during the chorus.... Wait it's DEP I'll go nuts from the beginning of the gig right through till the end

  • this song live is heavy as fuck!! just saw it at download. Stood out like fuck for me! and im more of a fan of theyre old stuff. sold out??? go back to ur bedsit and keep working on that little novel youre writing there.

  • On top of that... how fucking retarded does someone have to be to think a band like this "sold out".... what do you think.... they have a new album come out with a drummer that can barely hack what the previous one did.... so they have to compensate... some of that ends up being less like the previous dillinger stuff... its amazing how much drums alone can change the way you hear things.... its still dillinger and its still not on the pop stations... everything is still safe....

  • What a stupid fucking comment.... "mmmm love the money" errr whatever.... they did all this stuff while still on relapse..... they were on an independent label doing stuff mostly out of their own pockets.... now they started their own label.... so its not like metallica with all the publicity that the big labels put on concerts... and besides most artists make most of their money from playing shows...

  • @Mrforevernemo

    I've been listening to dillinger since miss machine came out, and i have to disagree only because i really like ire works. Calculating infinity is still probably their best album but to be honest there is not much difference between them in quality

    imo.

    and 2/3 of ire works is definitely not popish, they still created something new and it sounds good

    Mouth of Ghosts is such an amazing song

  • DEP plays in unexpected time signatures. Therefore I guess you can say DEP plays the unexpected. Certainly nobody expected them to make a song like this. Right right?

  • of course. idk why everyone is bitching about this song.

    i mean i actually LIKE the fact that dillinger likes to explore other styles of music.

    its not like there playing somthing completly different plus there new stuff is still mathcore.

    so yes you have a point.

  • @Mrforevernemo you say Patton like it's a bad thing? Don't like his influence on DEP? Calculating was indeed a genre-defining msterpce, we agree on that. From that has sprung a band unafraid to try new things and experiment. Sure, it's not always good but you have to give them credit for having the balls to try a song like "Unretrofied" or This one. I think that as long as they continue to challenge themselves and try new things that they will continue to be great.

  • theyre definitely talented, and theyre still one of my favorite bands, but thats why this album disappointed me so much. i recognize and respect the chance they took with this album, but that doesnt mean i have to like it. But you make a good point.

  • @thapumpkineater7

    Despite their incraasing popularity I assure you that DEP is NOT making money nor are they getting "tons of luxuries". Music is not a glamourous or lucrative business, despite what hip hop would have you believe.

    Sky Minor

  • Instead theyve left us with this regurgitated demonstration of what its like to color inside the lines and do what mike patton and mommy told you. Calculating Infinity was a musical masterpiece that defined mathcore, and changed the way i thought about music. Ire works just bores me, and theres nothing i hate more than boring music. That being said, option paralysis has revived some of my lost hope. Seeing them live march 23, so excited.

  • Just look at the number twelve and btbam, both bands have several albums that stay true to the style of the band, while exploring more musically. I feel like dillinger dumbed everything down. Gone are the insane time signature changes and thrashing craziness that still somehow reminded me of jazz.

  • I sort of actually agree genericinsect1979, ive actually been saying dillinger sold out with this album since it came out. This album disappointed me so much. I know they didnt really sell out, and i wouldnt never expect a band like dillinger to produce the same album twice, but they didnt have to take the steps towards pop-ish music that they did.

  • "Selling out is changing your music so it has a more commercial appeal"

    Hmm. I don't know too many people that actually know and like DEP who are into more 'commercial music'.

    Plus, changing music? Alot of bands simply change their style of music because they wish to take a different direction, or write/play differently, not to "appeal to more commercial means", have you ever thought of that?

    Stupid question it's probably no. You'll be too busy looking for youtube bands to be "unique" and "cool"

  • U2 is fucking sell outs

  • I feel what you're saying, nothing wrong with a change in direction and plus - technically selling out is making money from your music... whether that be £200 for a pub gig or a £1.5 million record deal... So the overwhelming majority of artists have "sold out"... not that a great and insult when you look at it that way!

  • I personally love it when a band tries a change of direction - considering it's good obviously haha - who wants to hear the same kind of song over and over? May aswell listen to DragonForce...

    And yeah, may aswell say every single band/singer out there that has made any profit has sold out... heck, sign me up to this sell out list... I wouldn't mind a few million!

  • Mmmm think of all that money ^___^

  • Yeah, I'm sure they make so much money that they get tons of luxuries. This is not the sound you want to produce if you want money. As of now, no band sounds like this, if you can name a band that sounds like them, be my guest. Still, I could agree that Calculating Infinity is better than Ire Works and Miss Machine, even Miss Machine is better than Ire Works.

  • love this song!

  • i thought the whole idea of DEP was to play the unexpected, if your talkin bwt the vocal lines, ther jus vocal lines bro, ther not writing music for us...

  • in your mothers panties...

  • lol musicians don't sell out, but you fucking genre fans don't realise this coz you want the same thing, musicians couldn't do that, its not satisfying. grow the fuck up and get wise

  • Do you even understand the concept of selling out you retarded prick? Selling out is changing your music so it has a more commercial appeal. Compare this steaming pile of turd to the greatness of DEP's first album and you'll see that they have sold out and they should be crucified for it.

  • cors i fucking do, 'selling out' is a concept made by people like you, fuck you, are they going to make tht same album twice? are you a musician?

  • Of course they aren't going to make the same album twice you clod but they didn't have to take a step in a commercial direction. These guys are just money-grabbing fucks who don't care about their real fans by making this pop bullshit.

  • 3:49 - SWINE FLU!!!! HAHA!!

  • such a lame video for an awesome song. thought they'd be more energetic.

  • A really different sound for the band. Still excellent though.

  • fucking fudrucker!

  • mathcore<3

  • god im tired of people bashing this band. Their drummer is fucking amazing. Their guitarist is sweet. In general this band is very talented. Open you fucking mind people!!!!

  • I agree, they are an awesome band. They need to stop imitating mike patton though

  • It's not that they imitate Mike, it's just that they did a ep with him and they were influenced by his style.

    But they still have their own style , and most of their songs aren't even like this.

  • Ever heard of opinion?

  • progressive-industrial-jazzcor­e.

    :DDDDD

  • the chorus is grrrreeeeat!

  • weird that he uses single coils for this kind of music

  • maybe that are single coil humbuckers?^^

  • 2:15 they look regular to me

  • Relax, everyone, it's just a video. They don't wear suits live either. Once on stage it's humbuckers out the wazoo. Let me know if you guys need any other help with modern culture.

  • humbucker is double coil..

  • not always, can be single or even triple

  • that song is awesome

    dep are still awesome

    and ire works isnt just that jazzy style, it's like totally random and mixed

    i love it

    they're still their old mathcore style, but now with more variety

  • Seriously as a person who's played in a band that went from hardcore to very tech-math metal to a more progressive indie/math metal, some bands just are in it for the evolution. Most bands that blow up keep a formula and very rarely tap outta the box. I respect Dillinger cause they have the balls to stand up for progress, if they lose fans then whatever but I'm sure they have more now. Like 50 said "Go on switch ya style up and if they hate, let them hate, and watch the money pile up!"

  • agreed

  • I'm so glad that you can present an intellectual arguement and that you didn't resort to child-ish name calling. But I have a question for ya. What music do you like? Slipknot? Jonas brothers? Dragonforce? Wait I'm mistaken, you seem to be more a Hannah Montana fan. Sorry for the confusion.

    p.s. I'd like a reply so I can tell you off again.

  • they were never death metal. They were mathcore on Calculating Infinity and half of Miss Machine. They have progressed past that and made their music more in depth.

  • New DEP isn't as brutal as the old stuff but nonetheless they are epic. Greg is ripped like a mother and could tear steve1985's head off for saying DEP is terrible. Dimitri was a stud and always will be. Gotta love them though. They are rather influential. Grind-core is where these guys would fall if you ask me. Not all of their stuff is necessarily Grind-core but there is no other category to label them as. <3DEP

  • god new dep is terrible.

  • these guys are heavy indie...do not ever call this metal, arse wipes

  • yo sir are a fucking idiot.

  • and you sir are a misinformed twat.

  • Doesn't matter what genre it is..IT'S BADASS!

  • fair does, but i just hate it when people call this metal and people make up bullshit genres for it like mathcore, or punk inspired math metal...im sorry but if your gonna put a genre on a band, you got to do it properly

  • That's respectable. What label do you think would do DEP justice. I think math-core is probably the best.

  • i would say heavy indie jazz

  • What would you say it is then?? I mean i don't know where to put them...

  • they used to be kinda technical indutrial grind...kinda mad...reminded me of Static-X...i dunno why....but now they are kinda softer than that....their image and some of their sound is kinda indie rock...albeit talented im sure....

  • Wow, I had always heard of this band, and I was expecting them to sound like really intense death metal. This is really good though, like it alot.

  • This is one of their lightest tracks actually ;)

  • (as most of their singles)

  • but you must admit, it is a briliant band.

    at least, that's what i think. xD

  • Yes it is :)

  • i love ire works!

  • u can definately hear faith no more's(or at least mike patton's) influence on this record. especially in this song. the chorus and the way he'ssinging even sound similiar to mike patton in some old faith songs. they are coming along quite nicely as a band. definately evolving and patton brought out the best in them with this one.

  • they are doing a good job with not sellin out because of some stock type sounds.The more they get out there the more people will realize a great band they are.you have to tone it down a little so the squares will promote this type of thrash/progerss whatever you wanna call it.I call it rock and its real

  • k, i'm seeing a a bunch of people whining about calculating infinity and how they changed they're sound. the reason people like dillinger is because they are an original band, and they do exactly the typeof music they want to do. if you like calculating infinity so much, listen to it, and if that gets boring make your own music. but stop bitching about how they changed on all the dillinger videos, because some of us like it and fon;t need to see you crying in the comments section

  • true that.

  • I think their new album is great. People cant seem to accept change in any music. How can any band be considered good if they never change their sound. I would be more dissapointed in them if they released albums that sounded just like calculating infinity.

  • Totally agree with you man, i probably like calculating infinity a little more but i stil love of their cds.

  • I like DEP's Musical progression, their sound is really diverse I dont think miss machine or Ire works were let downs at all.

  • i love DEP, ha that verse extra vocal part sounds like something Blur would do.

  • agreed, but i hope DEP plays "the mullet burden" when fag scene kids or like u said, mtv fags. hahahaha i'd pay a million dollers to see their face!

  • This is how these guys draw mtv faggots into buying their albums and going to their concerts. and then, they assault them with stuff like milk lizard or panasonic youth

  • i'd hardly call milk lizard or panasonic youth an assault. these guys really went downhill. i'm all for musical growth and all that, but seriously... they need to go back to the days of calculating infinity when it took a few listens to even understand what the fuck was going on. THAT was an assault.

  • I don't really get why you would re-post a clip that is already out there. Do you want to take credit for it or are you just lonely? Perhaps both.

  • I didn't like this the first like 5 times I watched it, but I kept trying... I do now, it's awesome

  • aww no! they lost the drummer! thats the shittest music news ive heard since S.O.A.D split! need to check if hes as good as chris! wee D

  • he's different. He's jazzy, very fluid and smooth. Where pennie was like a mathematical robot. You can really tell the difference between when watching gil cover chris's songs. They're both incredible, just different. I feel that they should have kept chris, and gil should have played for coheed, but it is what it is.

  • Song is awsome. Video.. ehh not so much.

  • i think theres a good reason y this onli has 25,000 views lol

  • I fuckin love DEP...they are so insanely versatile.

  • their old singer made them sound just like shitty ass mushroomhead so if you're really that butt hurt about greg why don't you just listen to them?

  • GREAT song

  • it's not their best song, cause i never hear him scream once ... but i love the new album anyways.

  • How can you say the singer is bad?! Hes excellent and suits the band so well.

    x

  • what in the fuck is this.... this is the same band that made the rediculously amazing calculating infinity

  • i like his voice.

  • They would be pretty good if they would get a better singer!

  • they use to have one

  • yea, this singer pretty much ruined the band.

  • this dude rules though!

  • wow, this singer has an awful voice.

  • no need to be hostile ! i'm just simply stating that mike patton had an influence in their music . i am aware of their history. i did not mean to imply that he created this band. although i personally think patton gave them a great element in their sound . sorry. what can i say ? i'm a patton fan .

  • totally agree. whoever has heard patton through the bands where he has sung inmediatly recognizes his ascendancy over dillinger whole-not only vocals-sound...that should be no complaint about them. patton's legacy is there to be profited by any band. by the way, Patton and Dillinger gave birth to one of the best twenty's songs-whatever the genre-: when good dogs do bad things.

  • I can't believe this only has 20,000 views. This is one of my favorite songs by them and it should be recognized more.

  • reminds me of primus

  • come on ! even though they have "mellowed" a little . they still have that patton influence. what else could you expect from a patton project ?

  • are they FUCK a patton project. if you knew their history you'd know they started 2 years before patton even came along. Dilliger where there best in miss machine

  • what the...?

  • Yes dillinger used to be far more consistently 'heavy' and erratic, but in my opinion the crux of what they have been about is complete freedom in music and performance. To put it simply, Dillinger can do what the fuck they want because they are Dillinger. For all its commercial appeal, The Ire Works is yet another incredible album that pushes boundries. And if anyone thinks they have 'softened' or 'sold out', go watch them live... words cant do them justice in that department :)

  • You said it, my man. That's why I love DEP, they're not your formulaic, prototype band. They're real musicians who are pleasing themselves and their real fans with good music, and not those whiny 15 year old kids who thinks Calculating Infinity is awesome because they scream a lot, and then they sell out. I've never seen a bad work from DEP, never. On the other hand, they need better video directors, I think this video sucks, or it has look better as the theme of "Dead as History" video.

  • Well, dude. That's your opinion, and I respect that. Calculating Infinity is a great album, probably their signature album? Damn right. But I think they're far away from putting a crappy song or a crappy album. In my opinion, DEP never put a letdown, even if, comparing with their whole repertoire, Miss Machine is probably the weakest link in the whole DEP journey.

  • Nonetheless, I think that, besides the fact that an insurance company should be their sponsors, the fact that they aren't being formulaic, that they aren't being classified as a (X) genre band because of what they do, that they're exploring thru a lot of sounds without losing their essence. The fact that they can surprise you everytime they do something, it's has to be appreciated.

  • Fact of the matter is, DEP are not the same band they were 10 years ago. A new sound that comes with new members. With only 1 founding member left, I think it's right to say that they had a sit down to see what direction the rest of the members wanted to take the band in.

    Calculating was great, but people have to learn to accept change. If you can't face progresion, then you aren't a fan, are you?

  • Well you can be a fan of the old stuff... I love all of it though, every album got something special to it.

  • why would DEP or Coheed ever want a consistent sound?

    that's what we LOVE about them.

    they're always evolving.

  • did you honestly just compare DEP to Coheed?!?!? no man no...

  • no, i didn't.

    read it again. i just said that both of their sounds evolve, and that's what's so good about them both.

    i definitely agree that when it comes to sheer instrument proficiency, DEP takes the gold, but that's not what it's all about, ya know?

    i mean, you gotta respect incubus too, because their sounds changes from album to album as well. it's just cool to see bands grow and change instead of releasing the same album over and over.

    i'm not really COMPARING necessarily.

  • They're both badass bands(but DEP's better).

  • Love this song. The haters need to open their mind.

  • hey didn't these guys used to play rock and roll music? yeah, i think i recall that having happened at one point...

  • Nah. Listening to this song and it's very traditionally structured. You listen to DEP to hear the unorthodox. anyways.. unretrofied was a better "experiment".

  • Wow they definitely provoke a mixed response, I'll give em that.

  • Great band, but they really need to rethink their strategy when it comes to the music videos. Unretrofied was a great video, but everything else hasn't been that good. I would have to say that while I love the song, the video for Milk Lizard just sucked like hell. This one was just there. Them playing in suits was good enough, but they had to crank up the weirdness everywhere else. Not a good video.

  • dude fuck you you dont know what ur talking about

  • i'm not hating on this band, every band should be able to expand their horizons. but this band used to rip lots of major ass and now they seem to suck major ass. DEP have fallen off in a major way. but i guess they're still good musicians or whatever the fuck that means, doesnt mean they're still a good band...they're not. fuck'em, they were cool 10yrs ago.

  • this is one of the sikest songs since nothing to lose

  • I always find it odd how I dislike majority of this bands music, yet they'll release random songs such as Unretrofied and Black Bubblegum, and I'll end up loving them.

    As I see it, if they made an album soley of songs such of the 2 aforementioned, I think I'd probably enjoy the band a lot more haha.

  • Yeah, in their new album they expanded their boundaries alot. Actually, theres a good 4 or 5 songs that aren't the technical metal that the band usually plays. Sick on Sunday, Mouth of Ghost, Dead as History, and some others have different styles of music in them.

  • yea i love Unretrofied too

    I like their softer songs a lot more tbh.

  • I dont like this song that much. And I almost hate Unretrofied. But the rest is suuuuuuper lovely!

  • so different from their other stuff love it though

  • Great song!! I like a lot

  • Damn! I had high hopes - but this video blows! Funny, though, how Liam has the Les Claypool posing down!

    See you in SF!

  • not sure if he was tryin but he most certainly does not have it down. and this video most certainly does not blow... your juts not smart.

  • ..says the guy who cannot spell "just."

  • I love Dillinger, I love this video, everything about Dillinger's songs' are just brilliant.

    And the way they're standing with the guitars in this just cracks me up everytime I think about it xD

  • I Love Dillinger Escape Plan

  • Strange band. Always nice to see a band that keeps you guessing with its material. Always been perplexed by dillinger and between the buried and me. There albums always take left turns. Nice to hear good music still exists.

  • this is the smartest thing i've seen on youtube in awhile

  • DEP writes some awesome songs, but sometimes their videos are a little strange...

    But they're still cool

  • i actually like this more than their crazier songs which i also love too...if that makes sense

  • Makes sense to me, and I actually completely agree.

  • great music, but d.e.p videos i just don't get

  • This the next level..

  • great

  • This band is Faith No More for the XXI century. Even the video looks like something FNM would have done.

    Love this album.

  • it's certainly good, its just no panasonic youth or sunshine the werewolf or fallen angel

  • it's a damn shame...

    I'm glad this was not the first Dillinger song I ever heard, otherwise I would have never cared to find out for what their other albums sounded like...

    To me this is another band...

    Seriously

    =/

    *That's what I meant to write.

  • it's a damn shame...

    I'm glad this was not the first Dillinger son I've ever heard, otherwise I would have never cared to find out for what their other albums sound like...

    to me this is another band...

    seriously.

    =/

  • Or maybe they're just the same band but decided they don't need to limit their writing to make people like you happy.

  • I think you're just trying to justify something that even the older members of Dillinger have recorgnized as something that escaped their own hands...

    I love Dillinger Escape Plan and I've listened to it before most people and have also read a whole bunch about it, and thanks to that I can say that not even they are happy with the outcome of their album, but just had to be done since they have a contract to carry out.

  • PART 2

    So it's not weird for people like you who know very little but talk a lot, to enjoy this kind of pop album.

    I'm not trying to insult your tastes in music but maybe if you read a little more and then talked, you would have a little more insight to contribute...

  • uh are these guys supposed to be heavy

    cause i just saw them on the ball

    and went wtf?

  • It's stunning. Sooo CooL! :)

  • WTFFFFF' its the four super hot aliens from Dude Wheres My Car

  • I love this song but the video is still a little weird!! ;)

  • Reminds me of Black Hole Sun's video, just with less cohesiveness. Setting Fire was so much better, and Milk Lizard, while an incredible song, just fell on its face.

    DEP doesn't seem to have a knack for making good videos. Where is this one going?

  • crappy video.

  • aaah this song always reminded me of Mike Patton!

    I'm kinda glad they made a video for it, it's a good song to chill to, but it isnt their best by all means...

    The video was trippy xD

  • i love these guys and I dig this song, but this is NOT the video this song deserved.

  • haha great vid

  • the best live band ever

  • An awesome song!

  • FENDER!
