The Dillinger Escape Plan – one of us is the killer
Two standouts for me….
1. The Drones : I See Seaweed : Totally mesmerising and devastatingly brutal. One of THE great Australian albums by a band that has few live peers.
2. Queens of the Stone Age : …Like Clockwork : Mr Homme has clearly decided to shake things up with his band – another great justification of the album format.
