Dance Gavin Dance Band • Page 74

Lmao, Chocolate Jackalope is my favorite on the entire album (Well, tied with Frozen One)

Opinions are so varied and weird and beautiful, ah!

 

Haha the ending saves it for me. Trim it down to a 2:30 song and it'll be amazing.

 

Ok so I'd keep deception but man Inspire the Liars and Chuckie should have been cut. Some good ideas in Inspire, but as a whole it's pretty disappointing.

Frozen One and parts of Here Comes the Winner and the second half of Flossie Dickie show glimmers of former greatness but the rest doesn't come close.

 

The only thing that should've been cut is Exposed. Why they let Tilian indulge himself with that shit lake is beyond me.

 

Philosopher King is eh until it gets wacky around 1:30.
Here Comes the Winner is another one where it starts slow for me and meanders too much but that chorus is beautiful.
Exposed is a JAM through and through.

 

Probably DGD's best lyrics ever, and I love how the band got to experiment with different guutar/synth effects and sounds. It show's DGD can be more than just a shouting match between Jon, and XYZ Clean Singer.

(No diss to the rest of DGD's discography, I love this band through and through)

 

I love Exposed. 1 vote from me.

 

I think the fact no one can agree on what songs should be cut from Mothership means that no songs should have been cut.

 

This is roughly how the album breaks down for me, plenty of flexibility though

Frozen one
Deception
Inspire the liars
Betrayed by the game
Here comes the winner
Exposed
Chucky
Philosopher king
Young robot
Man of the year

Chocolate jackalope
Flossie
Petting zoo justice

 

It's one of the worst things lyrically I've ever heard. I'd have no issue with that song if Tilian was less terrible in it.

 

Chocolate Jackalope
Frozen One
Inspire The Liars
Betrayed By The Game
Chucky Vs The Giant Tortoise
Exposed
Philosopher King
Here Comes The Winner
Young Robot
Flossie Dickie Bounce
Deception
Man Of The Year
Petting Zoo Justice

Is about how this album shapes up for me

 

I love Flossie Dickie Bounce.

I liked Happiness a lot but man is Kurt repetitive as hell in those songs. Carl Barker always feels like it goes on a chorus too long.

 

Carl Barker is about 30 seconds too long

 

Yeah, it could definitely end with the quiet chorus instead of going full blown again.

 

I think that’s how they do it live nowadays, if I’m not mistaken that’s how it is on tree city

 

I swear I have the weirdest/most detailed dreams but in my dream last night, DGD was in the studio and Will showed us a live video showing off part of a song. It had three different vocals or what seemed to be Jonny, Kurt, and Tilian on one track. Album was rumored to be named DBM3 for whatever reason. The opening riff of the one song was really cool although I don't remember it at all.

I've never done drugs. I was sober all weekend, too.

 

I think every dgd album is perfect as is except acceptance speech (which has some of the band’s weakest songs ever; that first half...bleh) and IG which struggles here and there within certain songs. Not entire songs as a whole. Example: variation and lost could both benefit with reworking/restructuring. I eventually get bored with both tracks because of repetition and the fact they never really go anywhere besides the ending of lost which is perdy anticlimactic :(

 

First half of AS has some rad stuff, especially if Swisher counts as part of it

 

Haven't listened in a while but AS is mostly solid

 

Love AS. Only DGD albums I’m not in love with are DBM II, and WISIOB

 

Exactly the same here.

 

I share this sentiment as well.

 

AS is probably no. 3 for me. don't care for the kurt era save for a few songs.

 

Only ones I don't care for are WISIRO and I hate IG and a few other Tilian songs.

 

I can't be the only one who loves Instant Gratification am I?
