'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...

 

1. We Are The Dead

2. John Hurt

3. Pull Out My Insides

4. Yeah!

5. Wrong Time Wrong Planet

6. Monkey

7. The Knife

8. Wrestler

9. Wondering

10. Broken Arms

yeah their good live, infact i'm seeing them again next month, hometown show aswell so should be fairly mental. I think 'We Are The Dead' is a great track, one of their best ever, I remember seeing them last year and playing 'The Monkeys Are Coming' and thinking it was great, but upon first proper listen I thought meh, but after 2 or 3 I'm now addicted, played it loads over the past few days. such a great band.

'The Monkeys Are Coming' is great, probably their best song that I've heard.

 

I didn't know DIOY,Y? were from Reading :o

it's hardly a secret they are from Reading. infact i still remember the early days when they used to play Fez Club (R.I.P :(). i do always love how a band from Reading went on to support NIN <3

although the singer (i forget his name, James?) asked some of my friends where he could get some illegal substances. naughty naughty.

 

 

but yeah, f***ing good live.

i didn't realise they were putting out some new stuff! need to get on it asap as i LOVED their first album. attack of the 60ft lesbian octopus is my itunes most played i believe.
It's worse than the debut :(

still good though, i stand by the opinion 'We Are The Dead' is their best track ever, their debut is hard to beat.

 

after a few listens i was really into this album actually.

My Top 2 is Epic Last Song and Dawn Of The Dead for me. Pretty hard to order it though :( We Are The Dead is a strong 3rd place <3
