Album Review: The Dillinger Escape Plan - Dissociation

StarStarStarStar

"The devastating brilliance of Dissociation makes their split not just sad; it's barely comprehensible."

More The Dillinger Escape Plan The Dillinger Escape Plan Profile

Having spent almost their entire career two steps or so ahead of the pack, the news that time has finally caught up with The Dillinger Escape Plan is not only painful, it's excruciating given how good Dissociation is.

As a culmination of every skill they've mastered, Dissociation is arguably their definitive album. From the relentless tide of self-destructive loathing that is Limerent Death, to the passive-aggressive fury of Wanting Not So Much As To, to the jazz-prog interludes of Honeysuckle, the devastating brilliance of Dissociation makes their split not just sad; it's barely comprehensible.
