The Dillinger Escape Plan – Under The Running Board (1998)
I had this 7″ on transparent blue. No idea what I’ve done with it. Look after your stuff, kids!
Anyway, this shit fucking rules. Absolute audio carnage, but in the most distilled and controlled manner. The drumming on this thing alone boggles my mind, but the whole finished product really is something else.
The reissue comes with a bunch of live tracks that are actually not just bolt-ons to fatten the runtime – this too is well worth your time. It is incredible how tight these guys were live, especially when playing such challenging material often in such crazy and dangerous ways.
