the dillinger escape plan - dissociation

the final piece in my dillinger full length puzzle has fallen into place. after i got "calculating infinity" and "miss machine", i really wanted to finish off my task and began to seriously search for a colour copy of the final dillinger escape plan record "dissociation". after scanning the internet, i stumbled upon a white version from a german seller on discogs.
it was the right price and the best compromise considering the colour-way. i actually thought that the opaque blue looked best but as an australian exclusive, there was no way to get it for an adequate price over here. white does look nice as well and therefore i am very happy with it. it was sold as the u.s. version but i was almost sure it would turn to be the european white edition. also fine by me because they are almost identical.
after the first listen i wasn't sold to one hundred percent. it felt a bit like they wanted to include too many elements to create something special. after a few more listens i realised that they did just that and i just couldn't fully comprehend. a fantastic piece of creative musicianship and a worthy swansong of this game changing band. gatefold sleeve with printed dust sleeves. don't know excactly how many have been pressed. most likely 500 copies. party smasher inc. 2016.
