In 2020, a ton of incredible albums are celebrating their 10-year anniversary, and with that said, we’re looking back on some of the best breakdowns from 2010.

The Dillinger Escape Plan Dissociation With their 1998 EP Under The Running Board, the Dillinger Escape Plan forced metalcore to evolve overnight. The New Jersey quintet's stabbing, atonal guitar figures felt like Morse code from a war zone. Their rhythm section's asymmetric violence made even the heaviest breakdowns sound dated in comparison. And their blink-and-you'll-miss-'em […]
