Miss Machine is the second studio album by the American metalcore band The Dillinger Escape Plan released in July 2004 through Relapse Records. It is the first album by the band to feature vocalist Greg Puciato and bassist Liam Wilson. Miss Machine marks a change to a more experimental style by the band. The album is The Dillinger Escape Plan's first album since 1999, the gap between albums being accredited to a number of bad fortunes, and a short EP release with lead vocals being performed by Mike Patton. There were three music videos made for the album ("Panasonic Youth", "Unretrofied", and "Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants") directed by Neurosis' Josh Graham. The band decided to feature metalcore producer Steve Evetts to produce the album.

This band fucks way more than it should. Miles more my speed than the other Metalcore suggestions on here (namely Converge). Bit of NIN in here, bit of Refused. Great fun. Currently sitting at a 1/5 user score as of writing this and that's a crime. Strong 4/5 from me.
If I had to choose one Dillinger release it would most likely be ”Calculating Infinity”, but this is also a lot more digestible than that incomprehensible assault. I think this might become one of the biggest victims of the userbase-can’t-handle-heavy-music syndrome. All this being said Dillinger Escape Plan has never quite been my thing. Maybe more of a 3.5 but for me it will sit at a 3. Still higher than the average rating!
Not a style of music I like. Screamed vocals don’t do it for me.
Actually banging That album cover needs to be fixed though 4
Mathcore, metalcore, avant-garde metal, jazz metal. No me va. Un 1.
Was a little worried at first that this was just going to be NiN jr, but as it settled into the second half it turned into a weird case of aggro screamy music that's also trying to party. Not the worst of its kind
Not really my thing.
Exhausting listen, I enjoy some of DEP's more math-rock adjacent output but this industrial scream-fest just wears me down. Even when the instrumentals push the technical envelope, the overall experience is so disjointed and abstruse that it's hard to enjoy.
