Powder To The People - So much riffage, and awesome performance from Kurt. Such a cool song, feels like a soundtrack to a James Bond movie, haha. Don't Tell Dave - This is just a cool little party song that just drips with personality. So much fun. Strawberry Swisher 2 - Definitely my favorite song on the album, if not my favorite by the band. It's really unique for the album, but it's very well done. The gang vocals and riffage is perfect. It's definitely the most lyrical DGD song from this era, and it's genuinely positive. A healthy, well-meaning breakup song is so rare in this era of Post-Hardcore. For a while I accidentally had this swapped with Powder To The People as the last song in my music library, and honestly, it worked so well in that capacity. Carl Barker - such a fun song. Pure riffage here, and the "I guess I still miss you" bit is so good.
Tree Village (Powder is a banger but I think TV is one of their more iconic tracks. The opening guitars get me hyped every time) SS Pt. 1 (The lyrics are super goofy but it’s got some of my favorite guitar parts. Never really cared much for Dave) NASA (Two fantastic songs, could go either way honestly) Happiness (Love the chorus, and I think it’s lyrically one of the better tracks here)
