I've never been too big on them, but it is a good CD.
More of a traditional hardcore man myself, but Miss Machines pretty good, can't check myspace atm but will do later.
I'm still upset Chris Pennie left the band, and even more upset that he left for Coheed and Cambria. What a waste of talent...
As little as I listen to Dillinger Escape Plan, I still love to hear people talk about how it's "just noise" and "random notes played really fast." Like the music or not, each member of the band is insanely talented.
Edit: Okay, I listened to a little bit of "Black Bubblegum" on their Myspace, and this is definitely not the Dillinger Escape Plan I remember. I have whatever CD that "Sugar Coated Sour" is on. The reason I (occasionally) like DEP is that they're psychotically brutal. Every time I listen to the CD, I can just envision someone's face being bashed in with a lead pipe. This doesn't sound the same :\
For people who want more melody in their metal, the new Between the Buried and Me album "Colors" is a masterpiece. In fact, go buy the CD right now :)

Yeah, Colors is one of the highlights of '07 (among with Pslams Of the Moribund or whatever the new defeated sanity is called, in terms of extreme music), but Ire works, for me, definitively beat the shit out of Colors.
They are more nuanced now, perhaps, but - good god - just look at ''lurch'' and ''party smasher'' for exemple; it's technicality and insanity as it haven't been done since Calculating infinity (the masterpiece opening with ''sugar coated sour'' you where talking about). And yet, they still dare to add another layer to their music, a sense of rythm and flow that wasn't found in this kind of work before, without restraining the movement and sharpness of the music they're used to create.
The exploration of Miss Machine very well welcome to me, but it's on this cd that it really pays of, and it shows. They don't hit or miss has they used to, they only score, and they do it really hard.
their sound is so compact and streamlined, yet retaining the intensity and sense of movement it always had, but they don't sit on their asses and will - i surely do think - still enlarge their horizons for the next cd to create a sound that is even more complete.
I don't even compare it to the classic that is Calculating Infinity, because it's just not the same. ''CI'' was such a new concept, a new idea, so fresh and so different; while Ire Works seems the accomplishement of everything the band have done so far, pushing their sounds they experienced with to their relative limits (as of now) and making every point of it worthy, strong and very well plausible as stand alones.

* wut i wrote in a music forum, in continuity of the text above, in response to some who compares it to its predecessors:
Calculating was pushing to the limits a very concrete concept that is, in its essence, very abstract, and it was perfection. Now they're taking this concept that they've already masterised (hence why there's no need for a second CI, because it's a perfect piece of art in the sense that it fully expressed what it tried to demonstrate) and they're EXPENDING IT. They're EXPPPEEEENDING IT, applying it to different musical aproaches and theories, making their sound so much more complex, complete and accomplished, even making it work* with contradictory musical theories (How could this intense complexity fit in ''positive'' and less destructive song? (And it does!)), thus making this album a fucking killer that just express their starting concept (what they're known for) further, making it less gimmicky and - i even dare to say - an important historical point of musical evolution, by the fact that they prooved their concept was wide and flexible , without ''wateris-ing'' it down. It could now grow as a bigger artistic movement, that could even define music (or art) of this decade, if not more.
That, my friend, is a complete work of art we've heard. Not perfect, true, but perfection cannot be achieved when completness is, and imperfection even adds value to the subject.
They truly distinguished themselves from the lazy entertainers we knew once as ''similar'' bands offerings. They pushed art; an individual act of shaping a form, a concept that is bigger than the individual, as opposed to the collectivism and conformism of stripped-off art; that is entertainement ( DO NOT confound), wich is weaker than the positivity people have toward it. Art evolves. Wuzzies takes what worked in art and do it all over, thus de-imortalizing it down to the stage of entertainement, and The Dillinger Escape Plan isn't part of them.
And don't let anyone judge art for yourself. (got it?)
*
(you gotta just admire the difficulty they literally threw themselves at (they could have just not faced it at all, if they'd be entertaining wussies as opposed to the artistic visonnaries they really are) and admire even more how good they got it right)
