Dance Gavin Dance Band • Page 67

they are all definitely great, but for me Mothership is exceptionally solid, and quite a bit above the other two which i think are both pretty close.

Mothership > AS > IG

songs to check out:

Inspire The Liars
Something New
Turn Off the Lights. I'm Watching Back to the Future pt. II

 

you can make a pretty kick ass track list for 1 albums worth of material out of their last 3 albums. it would compete with Deathstar.

it would look something like (going in order by album):

Doom and Gloom
Strawberry Swisher 3
Honey Revenge
Turn Off the Lights 2
We Own the Night
Stroke God, Millionaire
Something New
Variation
Young Robot
Inspire the Liars
Betrayed By the Game
Petting Zoo Justice

 

I almost completely agree with this except I'd swap Petting Zoo for Man of the Year

 

If this type of music we're still big I'd see mothership as a scene classic. I think it's that good. I like IG a lot but AS is just more fun to listen to for me. Better melodies and guitar work.

 

Stroke God
Young Robot
Inspire the Liars
Shark Dad
Here Comes the Winner
Betrayed by the Game

Probably my favorites in the Tillian era

 

Forgot Chocolate Jackalope. Love Will's crooning on that one.

 

i mean, it's not ever gonna be Underoath's Define The Great Line big, but considering... i think in 10 years Mothership will definitely be seen as a scene classic. and it did hit 13 on the billboard, so it's not like it wasn't pretty successful.

 

Would you say any of their other records will be considered classic? The first 4 definitely all feel it for me tbh

 

I think it's fair to say DBM. That album even if not listened to, is well known in various music scenes and most fans of that decade of music recognize the uniqueness of it for its time.

 

I have friends that don't follow this sort of music at all that know deathstar. Gotta say that's their most recognized work and the only one that could be considered "classic"

 

I would definitely say DBM and Deathstar could both be up there. Among a lot of DGD fans I know Happiness is the "consensus favorite", but idk if it has as wide of recognition outside the fanbase as the first two.

 

Are we ever getting a 2nd Secret Band album? Someone drop some insider info here immediately.

 

Didn't Will say something about working on Secret Band stuff in the Warped interview with Chorus? I may have confused it with one of his other projects but I think he at least gave a rundown of what he was doing with each project

 

Yeah he mentioned something was in the works if I remember correctly, but he may just be fucking with everyone

 

Agree with everything you said, but I wish I'd seen it on more EOTY lists last year. Seemed pretty limited to people who were already into them around here.

 

DBm probably if I had to pick one, yeah, seems right.

Also so sorry but....C O U N T E R P A R T S

 

I want to continue to enjoy my tenure as a poster here plz.

 

Welp RIP Eternity Forevor

 

God dammit. The worst part is there probably wont be KURT GIRLS now ://///

 

That drama got wayyyyy out of hand yesterday, Jesus Christ

 

What happened? Their fb closed

 

After the band announced its hiatus, Kurt and Ben were calling each other out on Facebook over personal/professional issues they had with each other, and soon a bunch of other musicians from that scene were involved, their wives were involved, and it just became a huge mess.

 

Though both the other EF guys are in agreement Ben's been shady...

 

Dang. Well that's unfortunate

 

any screen caps? Lol
