Old Composer REACTS to THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN One of Us is the Killer - Metal Reactions

[@andrewsmith4198]

This is one of the most tame Dillinger songs. Has just little tiny hints of how crazy they are. Fun fact: Mike Patton of Mr. Bungle did an incredible EP with them.

[@lukecampbell801]

That's why I think they're the most truly chaotic band I've ever heard. They can knock you into next week with some insane technical song like Panasonic Youth, or they can lull you into a sense of security with something beautiful like Mouth Of Ghosts, or do something in between like this. The fact that they were able to pull off all those different types of sounds and be both truly unpredictable but also sound great is a testament to just how great Dillinger was.

[@IainK76]

Thats what i thought. Been a while since i listened to them. I once saw the singer defecate into a food container live at a festival gig lol

[@IceKoldKilla]

Yeah I was gonna say. I know close to nothing but a roommate I had would play them and show me videos. It's why I've left their music to discover later. It seems so chaotic and maybe I won't like it. I mean, who knows. I'm currently more into Tool, Meshuggah, Animals As Leaders.... I'll give their discography a listen eventually. They've been on my mind ever since. My roommate was a huge fan. His favorite band. He kept going to see them live too.

[@michaelmarhal]

my favorite Dillinger escape plan song is: When good dogs do bad things. It's on a Dillinger EP with mike patton the guy from mr bungle on vocals. another cool dillinger song is 43% burnt. if i remember correctly 43% burnt is off of their 1st album calculating infinity which came out in 1999 and I think is highly influential for this genre of music. the band drive like jetu released an album in 1994 which influenced bands like dillinger. I think i am remembering all of this correctly lol.. another really cool band is refused. they are a swedish band who have an incredible album called "the shape of punk to come" it's this crazy hybrid punk, electro, jazz crazy album. I really like it. thanks for listing to my rant lol.

[@anoptforout]

SO SICK to see the Drive Like Jehu influence mentioned here! I grew up in a band that was heavily influenced by this random vein that came out that San Diego post-hardcore sound (Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes) - early 2000s bands like Neil Perry and Joshua Fit For Battle and later on These Arms are Snakes and Hot Cross. These Arms are Snakes was definitely one of the most underrated bands of the last 20 years, IMHO. Definitely worth checking out. Also... not a lot of people realize that Hot Snakes reunited to do an album in 2018 called Jericho Sirens. Fun listen for people who remember this movement. Thanks for this comment.

[@albreezy26]

All I have to add to this is have you ever heard of this band turnstile? They remind me of refused but they have more of a New York hardcore sound (are from there) mixed with bands like Jane's addiction and other grungey alternative stuff. One of the bands moving that genre forward

[@nev3084]

[@TheMullerClan]

Thanks a lot for suprising me by listening to my favourite band! Some side notes on DEP: their first releases had another singer and consist of pure brutality with far fewer melody. The EP with Mike Patton was made while they were looking for a fix replacement, and it's batshit crazy in every good way! I think this collab was a major influence for the bands further evolvement as for me it feels like Patton made them open up to any musical genre that may become handy for what they wanted to do next. So after this when Greg joined the band they were ready to use Dillingers full potential and every next album just got musically richer and deeper up until the end. I was lucky to catch em live about 5 times here in germany and I'm totally fine with them quitting when they did, I don't know anything comparable to the energy they unleashed from stage. Every single gig they gave more than everything and noone can expect them to "do the dillinger show" for another 20 years. I really don't want to advertise, but just if you are interested there is some live-footage from their last tour (prancer/when i lost my bet) on my channel and I also made some multi-angle videos from their last shows in NYC where Patton did open the set with them (when good dogs do bad things) or just check "dillinger (Crazy Moments Compilation)" here on YT :) Others already commented that this is one of their tamest songs and I don't wan't to be greedy by suggesting one track per album to show their evolution, so if any it should be Farewell Mona Lisa. Thanks for what you are doing, wish you all the best!

[@tpags7398]

What I love about Dillinger’s approach to slower songs is that they take progressive rock conventions and place it through the lens of the hardcore band that they are. This leads to even the softest moments to have a brooding atmosphere to them that greatly compliment their otherwise chaotic metalcore style

[@Ever3lackSky]

I'm so glad you did this because I love this band, but had simply not listened to them in a long time! Now I'm diving back into their discography, and it's such a treat! They were truly one of a kind, and there has never been, and likely never will be again, a band that puts on such an absolutely INSANE live show! They would regularly be doing crazy guitar solos while crowd surfing (after diving guitar first off a stack into the crowd) and hanging upside down from the rafters screaming entire verses of songs, and that's just the tip of the iceberg! What I'd give to see them live one last time!!

[@danielbrough5796]

DEP really push the boundaries of composition. This is as close as traditional song stuff that you’ll get from these guys. They also did an EP with Mike Patton which is well worth a listen.

[@forgotn42]

Fantastic! Been hoping you'd check them out for a while now and I'm stoked you finally did. As many others have pointed out, One of Us is the Killer is their most accessible track but I think something that gets overlooked is that it's not accessible because they dumbed their sound down, but because they had fine-tuned it over the past decade. As you noted a couple times, it's a very complex song with a lot of unusual choices & transitions. That complexity and unusualness is a big part of their sound, but most of their prior discography was much more experimental in format while the album this track came from took that sound and put it into a more familiar rock/metal structure. Their earliest albums didn't even bother with the traditional verse/chorus structure on most songs. Other awesome tracks are Milk Lizard, Black Bubblegum, Baby's First Coffin, Unretrofied, and, of course, Farewell, Mona Lisa.
