Was definitely a huge bummer listening to DBM2 for the first time. So much so, I don't know If I want to try again haha

My tastes have evolved massively since 2007 but DBM will always be one of my favorite records. Was lucky enough to get it on clear vinyl a couple years back for dirt cheap.

 

All the other members are on good form, but Jonny just makes a mockery of his outstanding performance on DBM. Can't really blame him in a sense, as he was ravaged by addiction at the time of recording DBM2, but still...

 

the songs on dbm2 are just riffs held together by scotch tape. there's a bit of that on the latest two also

 

There's like four tracks in a row that I love on DBM2 and the rest I don't feel kindly about. I think it goes Elder Goose, Blue Dream, Privilously Poncheezied and Heat Seeking Ghost of Sex. Those are the only songs I ever go back to on that album but I like them enough where I'm not dismissive of DBM2. Self titled on the other hand...

In other news they just sold out the LA show tomorrow!

 

Interesting to see how different sects of fans are totally different. On the Dance Gavin Dance subreddit, DBMII was commonly considered the best or second best album by the band.

 

Same

Also new song is good

Whatever I Say

 

I swear, there is ranking on like every page of this thread. Haha

 

I was thinking the same thing haha.

 

Would it be a DGD thread without constant ranking comments though.

 

We should rank each other's rankings next.

 

1. IG
2. AS
3. Happiness
4. Deathstar
5. DBM
6. DBM II

 

Acceptance speech definitely seeming muddy and messy next to IG, but the production on the new songs is sounding really crisp. I didn't get too into the last two with Tilian but excited for this third one.

 

Flossie Dickie Bounce live, it's so good!!!! can't wait for this album, just preordered!

 

Didn't really enjoy that song.

 

Betrayed by the Game might be the biggest DGD Earworm ever.

Can't get enough of it.

 

yeah im not sure the song sounds too discernible and it seems like its more the fault of the performance than the camera recording sound quality

 

1. Acceptance Speech
2. Deathstar
3. Happiness
4. Instant Gratification
5. DBMII
6. Downtown Battle Mountain
7. Whatever I say is Royal Ocean

I can tell people ain't going to like this list lol

 

That chorus man. Infectious af.

 

I can dig it! The Kurt albums have been my favorites for a while now, and I've gained a greater respect for Tilian after seeing him live and the amazing new songs.

 

There's not enough love for Tree City Sessions on here! Great release.

 

Holy shit that sounds good. My expectations are starting to get high on this one.

COCAAAAAIIIIINE CHRISTMAAAAASSSSSS

 

Hell yeah! I love Kurt era but this current era is the most consistent and realized IMO

 

It's great. If I were to rank it with their other albums, I'd put it at 4th (in between Deathstar at 5th and Happiness at 3rd). Such an energetic and well executed live album.

 

Tree City Sessions is great. I hope they do a second one at some point.
