Free Music Notes for Miss MachineFree Music Review: Don't listen to what the "true fans" tell you. Hit: 5 Stars
I just bought this cd and I absolutely love it. It happens to be my first DEP cd, i've known them for a long time but just never got around to getting any of their albums. After getting this I realize that I should have gotten calculating infinity a long time ago. Now it may be that I will like CI better, but by no means does that make this cd bad! And this is NOT a mainstream album. People who say that are elitist fans who won't like a band if they gain any popularity. They will have you believe that the only people who would give this a 5 star review are MTV watchers, don't know extreme music, think DEP is faith no more, etc. Let me set the record straight here:
1) I do NOT watch MTV, and I don't listen to mainstream music. I didn't hear this band on MTV, i heard them on relapse compilations. And those were songs from CI and UTRB.
2) I most DEFINITELY know what extreme music is and is supposed to be. I like old DEP stuff, and I am a big fan of napalm death (including acum and FETO), suffocation, nasum, brutal truth, nile, cephalic carnage, cryptopsy, etc. I love technical and extreme stuff. I am not a person who "doesn't get" technical and extreme music.
3) I have never heard faith no more. I don't know if they are good or bad, but needless to say, I don't listen to this album because it sounds like them.
Now some people may not like this, and that is perfectly fine. But please don't go around saying that anyone who loves this album is mainstream or a poser who doesn't know heavy music. That just isn't true. Unlike a lot of extreme music fans, I am actually OPEN MINDED about music. As for the album itself:
Don't be fooled- this album is not mainstream or weak. Most of the album is extremely fast and technical, with great playing from all members. Now prepare yourself: yes, there are some clean vocals on this album, and some parts where they actually let up the intensity for a short time. But there is nothing wrong with that! This is one of the most varied and interesting releases I have heard in a while. I also think "unretrofied" is a great song. Don't get me wrong, I would definitely not want to hear an album full of that. But what is wrong with ONE single song not being extreme or technical? Personally, I am impressed when I hear that an extreme band can actually write a catchy mellow song. It is a good song for what it is, but I know that change really scares the hell out of elitists.
DEP has made a progression with this album- not that it is necessarily better than previous work, but because they are evolving their sound into something new. Every metal band has this problem: they have devoted elite fans, and then the band tries to change one little part of their sound and actually be CREATIVE, and their fans label them mainstream and sellouts. Every band has these types of people, people who want every album to sound like the first one, their little scene classic. Let me tell you something: that is why so much extreme metal has lost its originality and is currently stagnating. The fans won't allow the bands to be creative. You read an interview with DEP and they talk about the current state of metal: "it's just become very stale and self-derivative or self-referential. It used to be so innovative..." If i were in this band (or any band in this situation) i would say good riddance to all of the elitist fans who think that they are somehow better than everyone else. You call yourself a "true fan"?? There is no criteria for being a "true fan" except liking the band. A true fan doesnt trash the band as soon as they do one thing that he doesnt particularly like.
All you elitists can stay stuck in the past, hating everything that is any different than your prototype metal purity. The same people who called napalm death sellouts when they released harmony corruption. Or carcass with heartwork or even necroticism. Or labelled Neurosis sellouts when they switched from simplistic hardcore to become one of the best bands in the world today. Or accuse pig destroyer of not being grind enough. the whole thing is just so rediculous. The rest of us will be listening to DEP's amazing new album.
Relapse continues to bring us the most innovative bands in extreme metal. Sorry to say this to the so called "true fans," but we all know the truth. You don't want creativity from anybody. You want music to sound the same forever.
Miss Machine Poster"The sound of the future now." - KERRANG! "Raging, intricate, screaming prog-metal" - SPIN THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN unveil Miss Machine, the much-anticipated follow up to their groundbreaking Calculating Infinity album. Merging unparalleled musical bravery, prodigious musicianship, flawless execution and an angular landscape of forward thinking ideas, DILLINGER reinvent the rock 'n roll idiom while pleasing their harshest critics: themselves. Miss Machine's modernist clang proves once and for all why the DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN is a paradigm to be followed, a yardstick by which other bands are measured. If you can suspend your musical belief, you may never return.
