What better way of spending a long day of travelling than finally taking the time to properly listen to The Dillinger Escape Plans latest release Option Paralysis. As it turns out, there hardly is one.
Greg Puciato may claim we’re experiencing a cultural depression (Close Up # 119) but him and his band mates sure have loaded Option Paralysis with explosives ready to blow your mind out of those blues over and over again.
“Gold Teeth On A Bum”, “Widower” and “Chine Whispers” are the obvious singles, “Widower” being a jazzy fusion taking musical possibilities to outer space, but “I Wouldn’t If You Didn’t” is the one that really does it for me. Pure bliss.
If you haven’t already then go buy The Dillinger Escape Plans new album now, it is the future.
Speaking of new music, and seeing as it is our great passion here at Nordic Flames, check out The Ocean on MySpace, they have uploaded some new and very promising material. www.myspace.com/theoceancollective
Man, don’t you just love it when it comes to this time of the year and you feel like you’ve already gotten favourite releases which you are sure will make this year’s “Best Of” list? Isn’t it mind gobbling to think that there is still so much to go this year, so many more releases to come? Releases which may well and probably will top what The Dillinger Escape Plan has created, for example.
It may be pissing it down outside and the summer may feel very far away, but hey, life is good.
