Description
Jersey mad scientists the Dillinger Escape Plan upped the ante with 2007’s Ire Works, their third album overall and second with frontman Greg Puciato. Original vocalist Dmitri Minakaksis guests, as does Mastodon’s Brent Hinds, but the show belongs to the main players, including drummer Gil Sharon in his only record with DEP. Ire Works captures a band with incomparable range and reckless ambition, veering from ragers like “Fix Your Face” to the swaggering “Milk Lizard” to haunting piano ballad “Mouth of Ghosts.”
