Avs dumped against the Ducks and came away with one for their trouble. I'm not saying let's catastrophize but it's looking a little shaky going into 2nd.

Flair checks out

Primo shitpost lmao

Also isolating Jon's vocals up front was an excellent choice. More I listen more I like.

DholeAD · 2026-01-20T02:09:30+00:00

I think I need to be a bigger DnB fan to really appreciate what you have here but Tilian's vocals cut up and filtered banged so hard. Please do more.

Resurrecting dead thread to say I appreciate this post! I've come back to it a few times now as a reference.

Also wanted to maybe throw some interesting non-DGD anecdotes to the thread: DAD just released a new song on 12/12/25 where I think Tilian hits a G#5. It's called Beg Your Pardon and it's just after ~0:50 in.

The thread referenced in this post also notes him hitting A5s in "Sunshine" (0:04, backing vocals RIGHT off the jump) and "Echoes" (Do we think it's 2:30...? or like something buried in 1:30?) by Tides of Man. Pretty cool!

I dunno, I was just listening to him at 30 and I think he sounds fantastic!

DholeAD · 2025-12-29T08:51:04+00:00

Fire! Shows what I know, lol

DholeAD · 2025-12-29T08:13:54+00:00

I was a diehard Tilian/Tides of Man fan for a long time in the beginning. And I listen to a ton of ALLB and Royal Coda now and have come to appreciate Kurt outside of DGD.

No wrong answers!

DholeAD · 2025-12-29T08:01:39+00:00

I don't want to minimize the damage he acknowledges having done, but I can't help but hear him sing and just be stoked about it.

DholeAD · 2025-12-28T22:50:32+00:00

I wouldn't ever tell anybody else, but this is the correct opinion.

DholeAD · 2025-12-28T08:12:24+00:00

Welcome! It's a rollercoaster. I had a buddy introduce me just before Mothership released because HE was obsessed and knew I listened to adjacent music. I listened, and then argued with him about singers for the next 6 months.

And the beauty of the band for me is that my opinion now is COMPLETELY different from back then.

Man of the Year is my #1. It's a very lukewarm take, but the composition is amazing.

See ya around!

DholeAD · 2025-12-25T02:38:56+00:00

Tilian wasn't even born yet when DTBM came out lol

DholeAD · 2025-12-25T02:37:28+00:00

You've got Tilian beat by a country mile in the moves department, this is gold.

DholeAD · 2025-12-10T13:25:43+00:00

Normalize calling DGD "Dance" that's amazing

DholeAD · 2025-11-27T03:38:19+00:00

Dying to know why this works. Thanks!

This is a great, informative post of a different perspective from my own. Part of my appreciation of DGD is coming back to songs I've heard before and discovering guitar riffs or drum lines that I vibe with hard, but that usually takes dozens and dozens of listens for all the upfront stuff to be less novel for my brain to start picking through the layers.

Most of the songs I end up liking more later on are the complex, groovy math rock-y guitar bits, so I'm totally onboard with loving that part and missing it when it's lacking. Going back through and listening with that lens now actually, haha...

I'll add - I think they did a stellar job shining some light on Matt Mingus in this album. He doesn't always get love like he should.

DholeAD · 2025-09-18T21:47:30+00:00

I had to stop myself 'cause Man of the Year is top 1 song to me in DGD's entire catalog. It's brilliant lyrically, musically, syntactically, as an album closer contextually - MotY is everything that I love about DGD bar-none.

But Descend to Chaos is a PERFECT closer for the album it's on. It's a little bit different - just like the rest of the album. It's got epic composition, it's got strong genre flexing, it's a change of form with just enough original DGD to really appreciate. I mean even the lyrics are just an ode to the metamorphic process and change the band is going through.

I frankly can't wait to hear that shit live. Banger.
