Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Unless you're a DEP fan, you've never listened to a cd like this before. It's tough, not because of how heavy it gets, but because of how often they change style throughout the album. Speed metal, noise rock, death metal, sometimes just hard rock, electronic rock. It can be frustrating if you're not expecting it (they're called a hardcore band for a reason). But if you have the right taste for it, this is easily one of the best albums of the year. It's an intense ride where you can't skip a single song and you're left exausted by the end. It's a lot of fun, for such a dark album. May not be the best place to start if you're looking to get in to metal (that would be Mastodon), but if you're even a little in to the genre, you can't leave this out of your library.… Expand

This is easily my favorite album of 2007. It showcases TDEP's genius and range, and sets a new bar for extreme hardcore musicians.

It's just great, no one sounds that way, and it is not easy at all to make good songs with that level of math progression.

Uneven. For me, the total duration of the good songs is like 20 minutes. A long wait in between albums for such a short reward. I still consider myself a fan, and will be looking forward to there next album.

... speechless

This is the best album of 2007 with no other contender.

Great disc wish they would do all melodic vocals those are always their best.

This is a GREAT album. The best from DEP. One of the best albums to come out in 07!

Boring, uneventful, poor overall.

Fantastic new album from DEP, which manages to create their more aggressive, melodic and experimental album! You have to check it out! Don't listen to old, stubborn, closed-minded fan who despised it.

Absolutely stone-cold awesome.

Not as awesome as "the running board", but still a great album.

Album of the year.

Admittedly this is my first insight into the band, and after two tracks I was a little worried - but sometimes the toughest nuts are the tastiest, and this album was well worth the perseverance.

it sucks, weany ass drivel, where did they go wrong? head for Ion Dissonance, Braindrill, Anomalous, Origin for the real deal.

Older fans probably won't like this one so much, but you know what? They can play old DEP while we all move on, including Dillinger themselves. This is a perfect fusion of old DEP mixed with some intriguing new stabs at melody. I dig.

As brilliant as the music is, the technical craziness makes it something that is only something that can be heard, not so much felt.

A near prefect album. A definitive improvement on Miss Machine... and that's saying a lot. I think they're just the most talented guys in metal right now.

Not bad. Good metal, good math, good ambience, good fun. They seem to have regressed musically a bit, but that's all Black Bubblegum's fault. Diverse if anything, and definitely not for hoods-up, know-nothing scenster morons who don't even understand how to change time signatures.

I was excited to buy this album as the D.E.P. are such a critical darling. Damn was I dissapointed. With only three half decent songs, the album falls into a bumbling incoherent mess. Yes, it could be called "Math Metal" but there is a point where calculated sound becomes simple static noise. A sad, sad dissapointment. Stay away.

This is Dillinger's best album, in my opinion, but any way you slice it, it's a great record. There's really not a bad song on the album, and they successfully display their trademark relentless energy but deepen it with the electronic elements of the "Particle" and "Wave" tracks and soften it up with "Black Bubblegum." All things told, if you're a fan of heavy music, you need to listen to this album.… Expand
