yea Spirit I was really keen for this and it fully delivered. love how Kurt mixes together bits of his delivery from ALLB, Gold Necklace and his solo stuff here, it's such a diverse performance



new Secret Band next please

His vocal acrobatics on this are for sure next level. I especially like his more funk and r&b passages, the dichotomy between those and the more post-hardcore centered moments work really well together

I definitely agree with you about Even If though. I actually think it should be the opener on here, the energy it comes on with is so infectious



they levelled up crazy this era. I really like the first two albums but Numbing Agent is probably the only song that could stack up with the shit on here

his voiced aged, happens with a lot of folk. but yeah this is a little too samey for anything higher than a 3.5. The second track is a standout but this group has always struggled for any real dynamism in their writing. good for the rest of the summer though for sure

Hmmm, yeah I can see what you mean. There’s a lot diversity WITHIN the tracks themselves, but the album as whole maintains a very consistent sound and tone throughout. I just happen to like that I guess, haha

Upon first listen, this is infinitely better than DGD. Not familiar with the previous two albums but gonna give this a spin and rate

First song in, it reminds more of A Lot Like Birds than Dance Gavin Dance and it's a fantastic thing.

Yesss A Lot Like Birds rocks.

Lavender Town by Dwellings is a really underrated swancore album if you guys haven't heard it

I only know DGD's work from Mothership and onward, so it's not fair to compare this to DGD's entire backlog. That said, this is better than their Tillian-era work, and I'm not just saying that because of the charges: this album sounds like what I'd imagine DGD sounds like if they weren't trying to be lolmeme, and I enjoy that (but also Mothership as well, when in the mood).

Saw them live last night (and DGD) and they killed it. Sergio reminds me a lot of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, what with the hair, how he moves on stage, and also the absolute guitar slaying.

This is rad. Kurt sounds great and the album has a great flow to it. This might be in my rotation for a while
