Oct 12, 2016If this truly is the end for Dillinger Escape Plan, they've ended things by throwing down the gauntlet with such force that the reverberations will be felt for generations.
-
Nov 2, 2016Dissociation is an impressive album and a perfect endpoint to a very noisy and varied body of work.
-
MagnetOct 18, 2016A fascinating, headbanging and improbably accessible listen. [No. 136, p.55]
-
Oct 14, 2016Dissociation might be the final stop on this journey, but in 10 years, it's also the first thing we'll point to when people ask why these guys are still relevant.
-
Oct 11, 2016In all its clean and high moments, in all its jagged dreams and nightmares, Dissociation is an album that will not only make music lovers think about the Dillinger Escape Plan, but will remind music lovers the gift that music is.
-
Oct 14, 2016Their final record is fittingly cyclical, beginning in the death of love and ending in death alone, full of transportive moments and beauty along the way. And though there may never be another Dillinger Escape Plan record, this one is perfectly suited and deserving of massive replays to come.
-
Oct 24, 2016Every member is in top form here. Ben Weinman has crafted an eventful aural masterpiece.
-
Q MagazineOct 19, 2016An appropriately violent swansong, then. [Dec 2016, p.106]
-
Oct 18, 2016Dissociation may not be the dream record for those who want Dillinger to return to the pure intensity of Calculating Infinity or Miss Machine, but it does make a suitably multi-faceted and powerful closing statement from one of heavy music’s most brilliantly insane bands.
-
Oct 14, 2016While Dillinger might have become more melodic over their years, they have categorically never softened. There are songs on here that will strip paint at 500 yards, curdle fresh milk and happily go toe-to-toe with the best of their back catalogue. That’s no small accolade.

Kerrang!Oct 11, 2016As Limerent Death gives you a one-two, you realise this will be the most chaotic funeral you've ever attended. [8 Oct 2016, p.51]
-
Oct 11, 2016Dillinger remain a proudly unique proposition, and Dissociation is a thrilling, and apparently final, fuck you to the status quo.
-
Oct 11, 2016This album doesn't feel so much like the work of a band trying to make a cereer-high album as much as a band using a great record to remind us why they've made so many in the first place. Most bands would love to end on a high note; DEP actually did it.
-
Nov 2, 2016Dissociation hits its stride when the band grafts new elements onto its classic sound--something that, for all their chops, hasn’t been easy to pull off in the past.
-
Nov 3, 2016With 10 feet in several camps, New Jersey's Dillinger Escape Plan whips back and forth between dissonant thrash and brooding prog rock on its allegedly final studio LP.
