When the first crisp roar of the Dillinger Escape Plan's 2007 album Ire Works startles you to attention like a Nazi salute, a very distinct first-impressions judgement is likely to be made. Anyone unfamiliar or simply not used to "roars" as opposed to "croons" in terms of vocal style will likely dismiss this record quickly unless they are of a particularly adventurous mindset. I was of a particularly adventurous mindset when I bought this record. It was probably that and my financial sacrifice in obtaining it that drove me to familiarise myself with the whole thing and not just the shocking Fix Your Face that opens the record.
The first respite comes at the beginning of the third track Black Bubblegum with a moment's rest from the cacophony of the first two tracks. I don't like to generalize but anyone who is - like me - completely ...
Advantages: Excellent variation, some classic tunes Disadvantages: Screamy vocals a bit ott
Ire Works, the 3rd album by matchore band Dillinger Escape Plan was released in November 2007 and soon gathered critical acclaim and hit the top end of various Best of 2007 lists. If you are into mathcore or even any other brand of extreme metal or even hardcore, it's likely this album will appeal. With it's complex rythms and quick short-lasting changes in mood.
The track 82588 is unofficially said to to be taken from the date of Metallica's 4th release, unfortunately the track is a bit of a let down though, particularly when compared to the intense track "Fix Your Face" or the enjoyable rock n roll/punk number "Milk Lizard" - my personal favourite and possibly the most approachable on the album, it's a true gem with lots of different styles of riffs (jazz, metal, rock) and vocals which change in style to match.

Advantages: Original, ground-breaking, Haven't sold out one bit Disadvantages: Some slower, more melodic songs
. A few songs on this album, most notably 'Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants' actually have sing along choruses. Although generally, from a hardcore/metal fan's point of view this may be seen as a bad thing, it certainly isn't in this case, as Dillinger have done it almost perfectly. I say almost, as I believe they have put in slightly too much melody. Unretrofied is a prime example of this, and in my opinion should have been left off the album.
Aside from this, the album is still extremely heavy, extremely unpredictable, extremely technically impressive and basically, extremely good. I would certainly recommend this album to fans of any hardcore, metal, punk, rock music. Even though it may be a little hard on the ears at first, if you stick with it you WILL realise how truly impressive the music that this band creates is.
