The Dismemberment Plan

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Washington, D.C.-based emo quartet the Dismemberment Plan -- frontman Travis Morrison, guitarist Jason Caddell, bassist Eric Axelson and drummer Joe Easley -- debuted in 1994 with the single "Can We Be Mature?," signing to DeSoto to release the full-length ! in the fall of 1995. The Dismemberment Plan Is Terrified followed a year and a half later, and after releasing 1998's The Ice of Boston EP on major label Interscope, the group returned to DeSoto for 1999's Emergency & I. In early 2001, the Dismemberment Plan and Juno issued the {^S...[more]

 

 

The Plan has succeeded in confounding all critics and expectations alike with this amazing piece of work. Here you will find their antic tendencies somewhat subdued, in favor of a breathtakingly sophisticated amalgam of '70s art-pop and high-theatric hard rock. In other words, this is classic Plan: just when you thought you had them figured out, they throw another delta into the formula. [ read more ]

In their swan song release, the lads from Springfield uploaded basic tracks and vocals from many of their previous releases, and encouraged any and all comers to download and remix at will. This record takes the band's favorites of these deconstructed/reconstructed songs and puts together what for many will become their favorite "Plan" record -- one on which the band turned over all the artistic keys to others. It is nothing short of amazing.

The Plan's second album finds them louder and higher-fi than ever before, with their acerbic wit honed to a keen edge. Winner!

It's one of the punchier titles around, and happily the Dismemberment Plan live up to it on their full debut album. Carrying over a new version of "Wouldn't You Like to Know" (a track from "Can We Be Mature?," their first single), the Plan -- here with original drummer Steve Cummings -- are a fairly thrash-crazed example of what the term "emo" used to mean. There aren't any apologetic weepouts, just calmer moments amidst pretty explosive performances. The group's debt to the Cure, whom they had covered on t   [ read more ]

This split EP is perhaps best suited for those already familiar with the excellent rock stylings of both Juno and the Dismemberment Plan, both bands that are difficult to categorize (that's a compliment) and aren't immediately accessible, especially on this CD. It opens with "The Dismemberment Plan Gets Rich," a bizarre and funny fantasy about the band's imagined exploits in world domination (sample lyric: "Joe got caught on board a boat with seven tons of opium in a Singapore harbor -- color us   [ read more ]

The Dismemberment Plan fires right back out of the depths with a vicious, toothy assault on the sensibilities of all that is right and good with pop music.

Most comfortable record yet from Washington, D.C.'s fabulous Dismemberment Plan. A whole bunch of styles, sounds, and goodness wrapped tight in a package of loud, lush, and beautiful. Part sophisticated synth-pop, part oddball hyperactive guitar rock, part up-tempo Motown, and all emotive and well crafted. Originally recorded for Interscope, the band and their tapes were released during the shake up. But we've got it now, and we're stoked.

It's an interesting paradox that Dismemberment Plan's final release is a remix compilation. The Plan are in a rare class of bands that connected with their audiences on such an intimate level that a participatory thank you to their fans only seems appropriate. However, when the bandmembers announced their decision to go their separate ways it was midway through recording the follow-up to Change. To many fans this felt like an anticlimactic breakup of a relationship with no definite sense of closure   [ read more ]
