Tillian era is disgusting wtf. first album with him was alright but after that each album has only had maybe one or two good songs each and i expect more from DGD

Album Rating: 5.0

This is definitely not their best, but (clearly) I love it.



Acceptance Speech (& now AS2) is the best of the Tilian-era, but everything up to Mothership is classic, w/Artificial Selection being great & Afterburner being... okay.

Album Rating: 5.0

think my favs with Tillian is Betrayed by the Game and Eagles vs Crows. Accaptence Speech is mostly made up by songs i like

Guitar work on this goes dummy hard

Album Rating: 5.0

definitely my favorite of theirs instrumentally

Album Rating: 3.5

the last three tracks on this are some of the most overlooked in their entire discography, ESPECIALLY Swan Soup. Drums on Purple Reign are *chefs kiss*.

^ totally correct. Kinda the Swan song of the johnny Craig era. No pun intended

Album Rating: 4.5

Elder Goose into Heat Seeking Ghost. Damn those songs are good.



This is one the most unique and eclectic post-hardcore albums ever. It’s a weird band at their weirdest and it totally worked.

Mingus goes hard on some of the tracks on here. I realize I said something similar like 8 months ago but the drums are so overlooked in DGD, despite Mingus being in the band since the start.

Album Rating: 5.0

I agree, he’s actually an insane drummer. His work is technical but not flashy so people don’t really notice how good he is.

Album Rating: 5.0

this album is mad underrated and yeh his drumming is fab
