Dance Gavin Dance - Jackpot Juicer (July 29, 2022) Album • Page 67

Yeah, well that's a bit of a different story for sure.

 

I just wanted to comment that outside of Shelf Life and Evaporate being some all-timer DGD tracks (though I don't think it's a coincidence the first features Kurt and the second is half call-backs to the S/T), I could not name a single track on Artificial Selection

 

Son of robot, midnight crusade, care and count bassy are all great. Evaporate is the GOAT

 

Man Evaporate use to be my jam. No more

 

New songs are just huge nothing burgers: based on the melodies wouldn’t be surprised at all if they’re just recycled tracks from whatever album they were working on with Tilian, everyone’s already said it better than me but it really just feels like they’re just pumping out new music so they can continue to tour for a quick buck and listening to how stale these songs are I have a hard time believing they’re even into it anymore from a creative standpoint. Band is a joke

 

I’m pretty sure will is just a freak of nature when it comes to playing the guitar and collects thousands of riffs on his personal recording system and stitches them together into songs for whatever given project he’s writing for. That’s what I meant when I said assembly line mass produced slop

 

DBM3 would be dopeeee. It'll be interesting to see how things settle down over the next year or so.

 

this band breaking up and answering for the culture they’ve cultivated within their inner circle over the last 17 years would be way more dope

 

Idk how anybody could want to hear Jonny do anything now or even in the last however many years. Fuck that dude

 

It’s weird how a certain section of fans of this band immediately jump to Jonny. People fear change enough to give that scumbag a platform again and again.

 

Hot take but I still enjoy DBM2 but yeah, Jonny is not a good person.

 

A LOT to unpack in this interview with Andrew

 

summary? i don’t got two hours

 

Did he say that he doesn’t want fans critical of them touring with Ronnie Radke/FIR in their fanbase? Or was I shown a clip out of context?

If true and they really want to cultivate the same audience Ronnie has then it’s so over (even though it was pretty much already over)

 

There’s a snippet from it here, along with a snippet from one of Jonny Craig’s recent Instagram lives, suggesting that the band aren’t going to have a permanent clean vocalist anymore and it’s going to be a collaborative spot where Jonny, Kurt and others could fill that spot in rotation.

 

so it’s basically just secret band with a guest clean vocalist or something lol this is like the dumbest most confusing way they could possibly handle this

 

Yeah I was just thinking about people who still want to see their shows will have no idea what to expect?

 

Secret Band is sick though, they should just do that

 

What exactly is even the difference though? It’s the same dudes that have supported all this bullshit over the years and continue to do stupid shit, but just minus a clean singer. Lol

 

I don’t care one way or another tbh it’s just a confusing way forward and fascinating to watch this train wreck truck on

 

Well yeah it's not an endorsement of them as people, I just think it's a better sounding project lol

 

Watching wholesome things like this make me wish I could separate art from artist better. Good talent show.

 

I don't know how to make this sound like I'm being an asshole or a creep from digging through old posts. To preface - I knew next to nothing about this band as of like 3 days ago. Been trying to slog through this exhaustive, confusing discography. Have been copy/pasting album titles in the thread to get quick takes - and it was just funny to me of an apparent change of tune on this one from a previous post of yours that I saw. Not that there's anything wrong with that, opinions change all the time which is good.

But shit. What a horrible time to decide to try and listen to this band.

 

I used to give way too much credit to ArSe’s strong front and strong ending

 

I've gotten to the point where I skip DGD songs that pop up on shuffle after finishing whatever album... That's not to say I don't still listen to these guys from time to time, but it's a conscious decision to seek them out for a no go for me now (same with a certain other used to be well regarded band with a sex pest).


All that said, however, I do not skip Betrayed By The Game when it pops up on shuffle, that one is still a banger 10/10 for me.
