It's funny, I got into DGD because my phone notifications glitched and the Google app wouldn't stop reminding Mothership ("an album you showed interest in") was recently released

 

Sometimes I wish I could say I never knew early DGD and Mothership was my introduction. Then I wouldn’t have such a nostalgic affinity for those early albums like I do.

 

Yea I get heavy nostalgia for DBM especially but then I realize I don’t care for like a third of it. I feel safe saying Mothership is the best and personal favorite already.

 

I was introduced when DBM was their only record, wasn't super into Death Star when it came out for some reason, immediately loved Happiness, went back and loved DS, loved DBM2, ambivalent on AS, hate IG, and mothership is p great but nowhere near the first 4 for me

 

Mothership is great, I love Instant Gratifcation to death, Acceptance Speech is a really fun record, DBM II is probably their most emotional yet fun album, Happiness is a solid album but only a few tracks really stick out, Self-Titled is decent, I never listened to DBM all the way through but I like a lot of it, and Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean is a really awesome underrated release.

Favorite song from each release:
Mothership: Frozen One
Instant Gratification: Awkward
Acceptance Speech: Jesus H. Macy
DBM II: Elder Goose (or Purple Reign)
Happiness: Carl Barker (or Strawberry Swisher Pt. 2)
Self-Titled: Me and Zoloft Get Along Just Fine
DBM: Strawberry Andre
WISIRO: The Robot Vs. Heroon Battle Of Vietnam

 

Frozen One is amazing, I wish other Tilian stuff was as good

 

Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire is my fav on S/T, and probably my fav overall.

 

I don’t really care for the self titled but the Hot Water on Wool two parter is so so good

 

I remember back in 07 I loved Times New Roman, but it wasn't till about a year later when I heard BDTNA pt.2 that I actually became a fan. Love love that song.

"If you're gonna wear the uniform you better sell the cookies"
One of the few times I actually understood Mess correctly.

 

Decided to throw on their whole discography. Such a consistently good band. Each release is so unique in its own and I love that.

 

I love the older stuff for being raw and out there. They took a lot of risks that paid off nicely and really pushed the scene forward. Now they feel more comfortable in their groove these past couple of records. Great material, but I'm hoping they push themselves again this record.

 

I’m gonna be controversial buuut
I would love to see DGD do away with screaming. I think it holds them back from gaining new fans and Jon can’t even keep it up long enough for a set over like 45 minutes.

 

I'm gonna be more controversial:

Bring back the cookie monster screams.

 

Nah, the singing and screaming sound better on Mothership than they ever have. Keep it up.

 

Man, can't wait for DGD LP6 to come out!

 

Mount Delicious, ur climbin’.

 

Anyone else get the MerchLimited Gold copy of Mothership?

 

I thought about it but decided against it.

 

Kurt Travis, the best Dance Gavin Dance singer, has a new band with Sergio and the ALLB drummer. Get stoked.

 

Not to be mean but...i give it six months

 

>:(

 

ok i am intrigued

 

Still waiting for that Kurt solo album to come out. But this and Pushover (I believe that was recently finished) will do too.

 

Coming up on a year overdue for that solo record. when I asked him in fall 2016 he said it was just about ready, if I remember correctly

 

Oh heck ya.
