I don’t have super well thought out reasons for why I’m picking these. I’ve only been able to listen through maybe five times so this is really just gut reactions. Say Hi Parallels One In A Million Nothing Shameful Prisoner

Lyrics Lie Parody Catharsis Nothing Shameful Three Wishes didn’t care much for shameful or global the first time I heard em but by like the 3rd listen they were amongst my faves. I think shameful should’ve been the closer though. Cut Say Hi and put sunset there
Say Hi One In A Million (brutal) Calentamiento Global (wow can we not) Night Sway (most underrated possibly?)

Lyrics Lie - This song is just pure DGD fun, and the dualing Jon/Tilian parts are great. Classic Jon & Tilian. Parody Catharsis - If someone asked me what DGD sounds like, I'd probably play them this song. It encapsulates so much of what I like this band. Catchy as all hell, but also technical amd weird. Nothing Shameful - As much fun as it is, Calentamiento Global is a novelty song. Nothing Shameful is just pure DGD experimentation at full blast. That bridge thing is so emotional and soaring too. Great song. Three Wishes - This should absolutely be pushed to the radio. It's just DGD's pop songwriting at it's best, and Jon's screaming is just fun and inobtrusive enough to be accessible.
