Dance Gavin Dance - Artificial Selection (June 8, 2018) Album • Page 61

He plays guitar, bass and keyboard on this album

 

Gotta be honest, thought a lot of it was really bad. Some ridiculously cheesy and canned instrumentals going on

 

Yeah, not a big fan. You can tell it's just Tilian sort of doing whatever, and honestly all of these songs are faux-emotional rock ballads, and don't capitalize on Tilain's earwormy songwriting skills.

The instrumentals sound like they could be royality free music used on Club Penguin in 2008. It's just lacks a certain level of polish.

 

Did anyone check out the new Hail the Sun album?

 

Aside from Hold On, that album didn’t stick at all.

 

I really don’t like the album, but I love a lot of his older stuff.

I kind of feel the same about ArSe, though. Disappointing year for me. :(

 

Can Tilian just remake the Future Friends EP? That was his peak.

 

its pretty cool, nothing special

 

Haven't gone back to this record much since release, if at all. The Tilian record is doing nothing for me. I was somewhat bored by all but 2 songs on the HTS album. And here is where I wonder out loud if I'm outgrowing this style of music lol

 

Random, but Tilian said Bloodsucker's lyrics were actually inspired by his reaction to the movie "I, Tonya" if anyone cares.

Oh god

 

Am I missing something..?

 

lol that’s you? amazing

 

what does blue swan have a shitty band now?

 

I just assumed those posts were referring to Jonny, but honestly I have no idea.

 

people in that group praise Jonny every day

 

I never even check that group any more and that’s partly why... makes sense. I just wasn’t sure if there was some new allegation that had come out against someone else tied to DGD/Swancore... glad that doesn’t seem to be the case.

 

In other news DGD debuted "Suspended In This Disaster" live at Aftershock today!

 

yeah i originally thought that facebook group was the official blu swan page orsomething glad its not

 

Sat here bored at work imagining the level of extreme quality set-list this band could make just off the past 3 albums alone:

1) Son of Robot
2) Chucky Vs Giant Tortoise
3) Stroke God
4) Philosopher King
5) Slouch
6) Midnight Crusade
7) Young Robot
8) Death of a Strawberry
9) Betrayed by the Game
10) Inspire the Liars

11) We Own The Night
12) Care

 

But that would be missing all the best tilian era songs

 

There's good songs that they rarely/never play live so just tried to list the usual suspects plus ones like Philosopher King & Slouch that would go hard as hell live. I don't particularly rate Young Robot but people go nuts for it when they play it!

 

What songs would that be?

Just curious

 

Slouch and Bloodsucker are my favorite songs off this record still.
