Blah blah their first album in 5 years. Blah blah they did an EP with Mike Patton. Blah blah they have a new lead singer. I figured I’d skim through the crap that every lame ass reviewer writes to describe Miss Machine. If you want to read that shit, check out the new "extreme" magazine Decibel. So extreme they have a backwards "e" in their name. How thought provoking and not wrought with nu-metal clichés. Fuck that stupid magazine and fuck the person that sent it to me. I dare you to not yawn once while thumbing through that suicide is a better option than reading it cover to cover marketing ploy. They even got that tubby guy Iann Robinson to write for them and his first article was something about helping black metal. Somebody stuff a poisoned canoli in his bloated head.

This album is okay. There’s plenty of technical, crazy parts and patented Dillinger riffs to satisfy the metalcore crowd but that’s where I found this album quite boring. I liked Calculating Infinity and the "zaniness" of it which would have been hard and quite pointless in attempting to top. I really enjoy the moments when they stray into other genres and let their influences of Faith No More and Nine Inch Nails shine although they shine through to the point of sounding like a cover song. Call me gay but I love the new singer’s singing voice, probably because of the aforementioned Faith No More influence. I think they’re heading in a direction and that is good.

Whether it’s a good direction or not has yet to be seen, as what they did all those years ago did break new ground; it’s now an HIV ridden genre, if you can even call it that. Some would argue it always was but that’s not the point. Enough of this trash. You probably either loathe or love Dillinger Escape Plan and I’m not going to win over any of you stubborn losers out there so make up your own damn mind about Miss Machine and don’t buy Decibel.
