CURSED, UNSHAVEN, AND MISBEHAVIN'

'Cursed, Unshaven, and Misbehavin' is an EP/single from The Dillinger Escape Plan comprised of four live recordings from the band's early shows, standing as one of the rare glimpses into the earliest incarnation of the American mathcore giants. Two of the songs on here come from the band's 1999 debut album 'Calculating Infinity', while the other two are from their 1998 EP 'Under the Running Board', all of which had been frequently played throughout Dillinger's early shows. This live recording does capture the violent release of energy that defines each and every performance of this band, but the quality of the recordings is really bad and when this is combined with the generally abrasive, dissonant music that is being recorded, one can really be confused by the final result, which makes it a piece of the band's early history that should be fascinating for die-hard fans but outside of the band's innermost circle of admirers there is little of interest here to the more general enjoyer of extreme music.
