Heavy metal outfit, The Dillinger Escape Plan has released their fourth studio album, Option Paralysis. The band’s sound is unmistakable, mixing elements of punk and even jazz. Option Paralysis treks into the band’s familiar territory, sticking to formulas that have worked in the past. Dillinger rarely utilizes hooks on the record, giving a greater appreciation for structure of all the songs.

Option Paralysis treks into the band’s familiar territory, sticking to formulas that have worked in the past. Dillinger rarely utilizes hooks on the record, giving a greater appreciation for structure of all the songs.

Option Paralysis is an outstanding effort that all metal fans can enjoy. – David Baker
