There's a gulf between even At The Drive-In and how extreme Dillinger can be, but on 'One Of Us Is The Killer', they've finally written a record that bridges that gap while staying true to themselves. Absolutely essential, and maybe their best album yet.

There is no doubt that this musically brutal, however not to the degree of other albums in the genre but I think that is one of its strengths (I'll explain why later), but man I think this is one of those Mathcore albums who favors it's unusual complexity and turns it to the highest degree, it's crazy how over the ... read more
