The Black Queen - Fever Daydream

When trying to judge what Dillinger Escape Plan frontman Greg Puciato is capable of, it's always a good idea to remember that he once defecated into a cup in public and proceeded to throw that into an audience. Though this fact may not initially seem relevant, it is worth reminding those that met this electronic album's announcement with skepticism that if Greg can do that on stage, he can probably handle making some retro synth-pop. We've even had a primer for this, as the Mike Patton-esque vocals on lead single 'Maybe We Should', for instance hark back to Dillinger tracks like 'Gold Teeth On A Bum'; though Greg's usually not known for his clean singing, his voice is powerful and melodic when he's not tearing it to shreds.
