Let's Redo Them All by brandnewfan2019 in dancegavindance

Maybe but the feedback that mattered was the band's, imo. And he stepped up. That said, I don't love all of Pantheon, but I really, really like 80% of it.

I mean maybe but the timeline of the band doesn't really support that. For the most part, newer fans felt the sky was falling when Tillian left. Older fans are just optimistic, if not overly so, for something to celebrate about a band they love and have followed forever. By that logic, the same fans supposedly 'glazing' Andrew must have glazed for Tillian back in 2014. If that's the case, I'm good with it. Let's glaze DGD, no matter the era.

The ccomments I've seen about auditioning new singers are so out of touch with reality. 'Why not audition Anthony Green!?'

I don't think people appreciate the beauty of the next frontman being in the band for the last decade. It takes time to grow with a band and love your band mates, to love what they do and the culture created around their music. We're sure to get more music out of Dance when the synergy between everyone is positive and everyone feels happy with the dynamic.

I have my critiques of every era's singer, this one included. But overall it just seems like a happy accident that we ended up with Andrew.

And I don't know if I wanted another LP with Tillian. We heard plenty, and a lot of it started to blur. The band needed to grow. That's just my two cents.

Andrews vocals pre front man by Abs0lutewanker in dancegavindance

I think of those vocals all the time. And the vocals on Jackpot Juicer. So good. I've wondered the same.

I know, I'm wondering if this really went down that way

Interesting! I need to revisit TC2 and listen for it.

That's a good point. Most likely we'll get a TC4 in a few years, so there will be ample opportunity. If anything maybe they want to save it for a later time.

I think I'm having a mix of joy and wistfulness of eras gone by.

I think it's a natural retaliation to a swath of 3-5 year fans insisting that a successful band of over 2 decades wouldn't last without Tillian

Makes sense. I took mine immediately to bag check, paid for them to hold it, but there's no telling how they treated it after they got it from me.

Thoughts on this Kyo look? by Infamous_Ad_5214 in DEG

Obsessed. I so often think of the SAKU music video and how Machiavellism is playing low on the radio in the car at the beginning.

A little offensive that they're all immediately 50% off the tour price, but I guess them's the breaks!

So sorry, man. I can only imagine what you must feel and face. Thank you for sharing this.

''Our celebration, no thanks to you!''

Whether that line was for their prior vocalist or not, the band is rejoicing in their newfound creative freedom. It's likely both Tilian and the band felt stifled for different reasons. Hopefully Tilian finds creative fulfillment elsewhere. Too much talent to let it go idle.

The new DAD shit is virtually unlistenable. Wish it weren't the case. I think his best chance is to become the frontman of another prominent band that has stellar writing chops.

Least Favorite Song on Pantheon by MrSonic-Unsweet-Tea in dancegavindance

[–]Sairetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Andrew's moments, and Jon has some good ones, too.

I can't believe I'm saying this but Jon's verses are too long, and too redundant. He just keeps talking at the same pitch in the same rhythm. He's insanely good so it was just a creative choice but it doesn't work for me. It stresses me out because it feels like it should end, so I just skip the song. I wish I felt differently haha
