Intense organized chaos in short brutal spurts. Yeah, this album is not for the faint of heart. It is pure sonic madness. This "Calculating Infinity" CD was the debut studio album by these based New Jersey Experimental Mathcore act- Dilinger Escape Plan that released under Relapse Records in 1999. It was a metal album that leans more towards hardcore and math-rock than prog: no keys here, just lots of odd-time rhythms, manic (and really impressive) instrumental work, and mostly screamed vocals. This music is not for those who take a certain pleasure in listening, but for those who seek a 'trash your apartment soundtrack' worthy of a medievil battlefront. The musical value in this album is it's complexity and the extremes it goes to to display it, manipulating every possible facet of musical talent each band member has and then some, because of the complexity of its song structures, which feature irregular time signatures and jarring changes of pace. This band's manic tunes are more like high-level trigonometry; mind-blowingly complicated, incomprehensible to most and strangely satisfying to a select studious few.
Just check this one out, and start to calculate! You won't be let down.
