Description

It s hard to express how much of a shock to the system the Dillinger Escape Plan s spasmodic debut LP was when it dropped onto the unsuspecting rock landscape of 1999, dominated as it was by nu-metal and pop punk. An act of frenetic mad genius, the album is a teeth-rattling thrill ride from front to back, but the sublime brutality of the main riff to 43% Burnt — arguably DEP s signature song — is basically impossible to top.
