BradC.nMar 23, 2010This is one of the most talented and ground breaking bands out there today. This record maintains the intensity of Calculating Infinity while still branching out in so many different directions. Such a brilliant band.

FranciscoB.Mar 24, 2010It has taken me quite some time to digest the newest offering from the mighty Dillinger Escape Plan, entitled Option Paralysis. Now, after about twenty-five concentrated listening sessions, I feel it

Oct 16, 2010Best record of the year by far. Honest, real, original, refreshing, arresting, provocative, and thought provoking. Who could ask for anything more. From the the first note to the last exhausting scream, this record takes you on a ride that most musical outfits would sell their sole to the devil to be able to create.

PatrickW.Mar 23, 2010Its pretty awesome. Think calculating infinity's intensity plus miss machines wider musical range.

KurtPMar 24, 2010This is quite a good album. In short, it's what Ire Works should have been; there are a number "catchy" songs, i say that by dillinger's standards, and some classic dillinger that we all fell is love with. Do no listen to the number from the users on here, it's not a reflection of what the fans think. For reference, I would give Ire Works a 7.

SamS.Mar 23, 2010Great theme, great imagery, and absolutely mind-blowing delivery. Dillinger proves better than ever that they can be tame as well as absolutely earthshatteringly brutal.

Aug 21, 2010Flat out amazing guitar play.
Lyrics and melody missing make you think of how much better each track could be if they slowed down just slightly. Gold Teeth Bum and Widower are prime examples that slowing it down just slightly actually adds more to the album.
Awards & Rankings

RevolverOn their fourth full-length and first on their own label, jazz-spazz-metal epileptics the Dillinger Escape Plan re-embrace the all-killer, no-filler attitude that made their earlier albums and EPs so simultaneously exhausting and exhilarating. [Mar/Apr 2010, p.88]
-
MojoThe confrontational quintet dare to seek out melody and explore a new-found subtlety on an otherwise exhaustingly visceral ride. [May 2010, p. 95]
-
Alternative PressDissonant strings, clasical piano and eerie quiet spells infuse the album with a wird, roiling darkness that gets under your skin rather than filleting your skull. The result is more dramatic than any Dillinger release this decade--and more powerful because of it. [Apr 2010, p124]
