Editing Miss Machine (section)

==Musical direction==
Until the band's 2007 release of the further groundbreaking ''[[Ire Works]]'', ''Miss Machine'' was considerably the band's most experimental release to date, as the band drew from the experience of working with [[Mike Patton]] and the [[Industrial music|industrial]] influence of bands such as [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It is also arguably their most accessible due to the band toning down the musical complexity and adding new elements like slower song tempos, singing vocals, and more straightforward song structures.

Due to Mike Patton collaborating with the band, his experimental influences began to rub off on The Dillinger Escape Plan.  In addition, [[Greg Puciato]] was involved with [[Error (band)|Error]], an industrial band, around the same time as the release of ''Miss Machine'', all of which would form their sound on ''Miss Machine''. The album turned out to be much more experimental, and include many more jazz-fusion elements and electronics. Weinman's guitars were not as prominent in the mix, and Pennie's drumming was not as demanding.

Andrew Racher of [[Brooklyn Vegan]] said calling the album mathcore was "too niche" and "undersells it." He described the album's sound as "progressive circus acid freakout avant-goth metallic rock."<ref name="Brooklyn Vegan">{{cite web|publisher=[[Brooklyn Vegan]]|last=Sacher|first=Andrew|url=https://www.brooklynvegan.com/15-seminal-albums-from-metalcores-second-wave-2000-2010/|title=15 Seminal Albums From Metalcore's Second Wave (2000-2010)|date=March 8, 2021|accessdate=April 21, 2021}}</ref>
