After Miss Machine, the fans of Dillinger Escape Plan were divided. Many of the people who were devoted to the screaming mathematical metal of Calculating Infinity abandoned the band because they disapproved of the experimental musical direction and the inane demeanor of new vocalist/screamer Greg Puciato.
Open-minded listeners were thrilled with the progressive journey they were embarking on, and many critics hailed the group as true innovators of metalcore. Ire Works is in many ways just as successful as their previous album, while creatively evolving. They continue to play with technical metal, hard-hitting hardcore, jazz breaks and post-punk, but here they evolve by adding even more twists with additional electronic elements.
While the merging of too many styles in hardcore can lead to a muddled result (see Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled release), the added instruments and genre shifts enhance the result rather than acting as an adornment
