Vocalist Greg Puciato has developed into quite the crooner, and even his shouting recalls Guy Picciotto more than Cookie Monster, when he's not borrowing Mike Patton's sneer. If there's one thing to complain about on Option Paralysis, it's that the album has pieces made up of cool parts, instead of songs made up of hooks.
Additional InformationOnce again, DEP are preaching (at top volume) to the converted. Which is fine, because they remain very, very good at what they do.
Reviews"OPTION PARALYSIS is about the homogenisation of society. It's about how, with so much choice open to every single one of us, it's easy to lose sight of what's important.", "'Widower' is a beautiful, early Lollapalooza-era treat, featuring Bowie's ALADDIN SANE pianist Mike Garson...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Here their combination of jazz time signatures, abrasive vocals and metal breaks amounts to a sand-blasting of the senses, an agreeable barrage...", "'Widower' is a math-metal interpretation of a jazz-lounge ballad. It is a piano-driven track that begins with soft vocals, but continues with ricocheting guitars and the band's trademarked complex time signatures."
