* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: As mentioned above, ''Calculating Infinity'' can get this these days because it's been copied ''so much'' that it's difficult to appreciate these days how truly original it was when it came out.

* MagnumOpusDissonance: ''Calculating Infinity'' also fell prey to this, partly due to a combination of CriticalDissonance (it wasn't really well-received when it first came out) and SeinfeldIsUnfunny (it has been copied ''so many times'' that almost no one would notice how groundbreaking the album was).



* SerialEscalation: Their live shows. Improvisational pyrotechnics (which have resulted in band members being set alight), singer defecating onstage, thousands of dollars' worth of instruments destroyed, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-lxwlgyhhA singer running across the audience's heads]], teeth getting knocked out and feet getting broken by flying guitars, [[http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Weinman-upside-down1.jpg guitarist playing parts of a song upside-down while hanging by his legs]], [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/The_Dillinger_Escape_Plan-1.jpg/518px-The_Dillinger_Escape_Plan-1.jpg singer doing likewise]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Greg Puciato ending up having a bleeding wound]]... the list goes on. Bassist Liam Wilson once jokingly dubbed the band "The Dillinger Insurance Plan" because of all the injuries the members have sustained and the massive amounts of property damage they have caused because of this.

** With fellow Canadian mathcore band Ion Dissonance. It's all a matter of musical heaviness: ID fans say that TDEP is not heavy enough, while TDEP fans say that ID sacrifices too much musicianship to reach high levels of heaviness.

Added DiffLines:

** With Music/{{Disturbed}}. The situation initially appared to be mainly based on a misunderstanding, as someone informed Disturbed that TDEP's guitarist had been mocking them for their elaborate stage set-up, when in reality he was merely making an off-hand remark about how little they themselves bother rehearsing. As the guitarist from TDEP put it, when Disturbed use a pyro onstage, they don't get ''set on fire'' by it, as has happened at TDEP gigs. [[https://twitter.com/#!/DAVIDMDRAIMAN/status/96061280183525377 Draiman later said,]] "No beef with them. I think the press misquoted them once. We cleared it up." However, [[HereWeGoAgain not longer than a few months after]] Draiman said that on his Twitter, [[http://loudwire.com/dillinger-escape-plan-frontman-disses-disturbed/ Greg Puciato ignites it again on his]].

-->'''[[https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14201-option-paralysis/ Pitchfork review]]:''' But sudden eruptions of emotive crooning feel out of place. The icky mix of cocktail piano and emo melodrama on "Widower" is a major offender. It's not just that the inevitable math-y freakout derails the song's sense of momentum. It's also that DEP's notion of what constitutes "pop" is so damn corny. Forget Music/FaithNoMore, the most frequent point of comparison. Without Music/MikePatton's sense of the absurd to undercut the pomp, this shit sounds like Music/{{Foreigner}} with an affinity for blast beats. DEP don't need to worry about "softening up" or (gack) "selling out." They need to worry about the fact that 3/4ths of Option Paralysis is astounding and 1/4th is plain cringeworthy.
