Product Description
CD Description
Don t Say We Didn t Warn You , is an album that surprises and astounds at every turn; unpredictability is king, no barrier is left un-demolished. It s a spectacular rebirth, a breaking out of boxes. It is the follow up to 2008 s You Have Know Idea What You re Getting Yourself Into , an album that was too spikey-around-the-edges to fit into any genre and saw the band confounding expectations at every turn. But DIOY,Y? blew up big, making a huge impact on the gig scene with their incendiary live performances, remixing everyone from Muse to Bloc Party to The White Stripes, and damn near breaking America, going on missions of electro conversion across North America in support of The Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails and Linkin Park and their own sold-out headline tour. Their new album, Don t Say We Didn t Warn You is compiled from the million songs that DIOY,Y? self-recorded - over six months in a tiny studio in Reading towards the end of 2009 and in piecemeal bedroom n kitchen sessions throughout 2010. This is our break-out album, says Dan. It has got balls-out angry stuff and serene melancholic, quite depressing stuff as well. We d rather show all our hands like that rather than write a whole album that sounds the same. A good plan, since this is hair-raising stuff: a laser blast from the underground, future rock rebels running riot. Don t say they didn t warn you

...and the 'Loudness War' rages on.,

This review is from: Don't Say We Didn't Warn You (Audio CD)
Yeh - I know this one's abit of a way-out, mind bending, ground breaking, limit pushing maniac of a record. On those grounds, Don't Say We Didn't Warn You hits all the buttons.But one button it presses which I can not stand is the stupid amount of compression and clipping that has been poured all over the music and is the reason for 1 star. In places, there just is NO dymanic range what so ever. Constantly in the red! I know the late Martin Rushent produced this album and his son is the guitarist, who mastered (sorry masacred) the damn thing? What a shame this horribly mastered album signifies the probably epitaph of Martin Rushent's long and amazing career. James Rushent, - do your Dad proud and re-master this again, level it at around 16dB and include a decent bit of dynamic range this time...and NO CLIPPING!!! Typical modern day production. [Loudness] War is Over - if you want it.

It feels like ages that I was waiting for this album and then i got mine last week and have not stopped playing it. So what's it sound like..? Well it sounds like DIOYY? But this album sounds a bit rawer than You Have No Idea.., a bit more live. With this album though, i feel it flows more than their debut, which was a collection of amazing songs, but as an album I didn't feel had a smooth continuation from each song to the next.For newbies, I can't really pick a category of music to fit DIOYY? into which is great considering so much music now sounds like tons of other bands. If I had to compare I would say they are like Late Of The Pier in places, but with Hadouken's mad energy and a lot more going on than both bands. Highlights for me are John Hurt, Wrestler and We Are The Dead. Well worth the 3 yrs wait and along with Enter Shikari are giving British music the kick up the arse it needs to show that the UK is still producing some of the most exciting music in the world!!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic!,
This review is from: Don T Say We Didn T Warn You (Audio CD)
Firstly, I am at a loss with some of the negative comments. This album is fantastic. It is powerful, original and sounds brilliant.The album opens with We Are The Dead, which is a great track and good intro to what's in store. John Hurt follows this which is another strong track. My other favourites are Yeah, The Moneys are Coming, and Wrestler. The only let down is the last Broken Arms, which is very weak. But the quality all around it means the album merits the 5 star rating, something I rarely give out. In my opinion better than the debut and probably my album of 2011.
