I'm doing a full-band tab of it on TuxGuitar so maybe I can upload that! Got just the chorus down so far (except one drum fill) so a long way to go yet!
I've been an avid listener of DGD for 9 years now. They've always been a go-to for me and have always put on a fantastic show (even when Jonny was blackout in 07). But I can't help but cringe at a large majority of Tillians lyrics. The melodys are killer but jeez, Louise. That said, I'm sure mothership will slay in every other facet.
I love the new single but the whole "looking so classy feeling so fancy" bit makes me cringe. I liked his lyrics on like 50% of acceptance speech and instant gratification though
The new single is fantastic... I think this could end up being their best album with Tilian. Also the new Sianvar is one of the best albums from that post-hardcore scene in quite a while imo.
i've been listening to the sianvar a lot; i liked their EP quite a bit, and i like this album more with each listen, really impressive stuff.
It definitely deserves more attention around these parts I think. It has the potential to appeal to some people who might not be super into DGD/ALLB/Stolas/Hail The Sun imo.
Yeah Acceptance Speech is really really good. Especially those last 3 songs. I want some more of that. On the Run is also a banger.
I like that line! Probably cause it reminds me of this group of "popular girls" in my hometown that are kinda bullies/bigots but think dressing up nice & going for cocktails makes them "classy" lol. Edit: The full line is "dress-code, cocktails, looking so fancy, we feel like we're a little bit classy" which def looks lame written down
Lame lyrics have just become a part of DGD for me and I've grown to enjoy them. I try not to take it too seriously.
I really don't get the singular hate for Tilian's writing; it's better than Jonny's, Will's and Jon's at least. Kurt is the only DGD writer who ever was particularly good at it, but even then he had his fair share of "cringe" lyrics. And honestly, there is no moment more cringe in DGD's discpgraphy than this: "Loyalty Honesty Trust Respect Humility Sincerity We are all so full of fucking shit We are all so full of fucking shit"
I never batted an eye at that one. There's plenty worse to cringe at. But I think you're doing it wrong if you're taking anything from this band at face value as self aware as it all is people you know all those years ago kind of felt like it had some hip hop beef lyrics lol
You think that's the most cringeworthy lyrics? Hahah Not at all, at least in my opinion, especially on that record. YOURBITCHWASHITBYATRUCK! WHATTHEFUCK!
I believe what we see here is a difference in what makes different people cringe. I love people you know and jonny's lyricless scatting. What I don't love is a grown ass man singing "I just wanna be a kid agaaaaain" at the highest register. All subjective though.
