Year in Rock 2013 Nominee: The Dillinger Escape Plan
One Of Us Is The Killer
From: One Of Us Is The Killer
Released: May 14
The main criticism of Dillinger Escape Plan's fifth album is its lack of surprises; indeed, there doesn't seem to be anything happening here that they haven't attempted before. But, that's hardly reason to dismiss it; if a more finely tuned attack and improved songwriting is bad for a band, I must have missed the memo. Calm down, hardcores, there's plenty of screaming on this album. There's also the album's title track, a slithering slow jam with a chorus that stabs and tears with expert precision, proof that DEP's greatest weapon isn't their talent but what they choose to do with it.
