i should hate this band.
they went from something really interesting to a Mike Patton-worshipping fellatory group with little to separate themselves from the next math rock band except a name indebted to alt rock. even worse, they finally get a new singer and he's a carbon copy of the ex-FNM frontman. what's to like about them? well, for starters, three amazing records in ten years. the chaotic nature of the material somehow works, and Ire Works may be one of my favorite records. absolutely superb band capable of crafting immense songwriting structures and juggling insane polyrhythms. they don't adhere to any specific genre and quite often work around all pre-conceived notions of what conventional songwriting should be. i should hate this band, but i can't. they're too good.

I like the new guy, too. Ire Works is ****in' phenomenal. The album they did with M.P is good, too, but MB is making me really sick of Mike Patton as well. He makes wonderful music, but I'm past the falling-for-the-frontman phase. I want collaboration, I want musicians who explore outside of their comfort zones and D.E.P does it with and without Mike.
