I think Tilian is the best thing to ever happen to this band. He's easily my favorite of the three.

I used to not fuck with Tilian's vocals when Acceptance Speech first came out but I think it was just that albums production. He is really stepping it up on these new tracks. Mothership could be the best of the Tillian-era DGD

I'll never forget the 4chan screenshot of the guy saying his buddy told him to listen to Happiness because it was "metal for people who don't like metal" and OP compared it to Scooby Doo chase music.

Great track although I don't like it as much as Betrayed by the Game.

And this song is like full funk, which is different for them. Usually they just sprinkle some funk here and there.

From the previews this album sounds like a mix of happiness and something Dream Theater would put out--at least instrumentally. There's a lot of prog metal influence.

I still think this is gonna be their best album.

Little disappointed in this one, but the first two singles blew my tits off so I guess they were due. Other than that general funky feeling, the entire song feels a little held back. The band is at their best when the energy level is high.

I think it might be their most mature & consistent. Constant stream of great tracks. "Frozen One" might be my favorite song they've ever done, beating out Variation/Lost. Big Tillian fan, but he's topped himself here too. Tillian actually has a couple songs with some impressive screams.

Frozen One @1:25-1:55! Man the double bass and melodies are neat here.

My god, this is really their best album. They just do so much and it mostly all works. Totally Tilian's best performance with this band and some of these definitely have some of my favorite moments of him overall. Man of the Year, Frozen One, Inspire the Liar, and Here Comes the Winter are early favorites but all of these stand out. Hello AOTY

Nomos

Yup. So much better than I expected. It feels so much more...cohesive? to me than their previous albums. And very catchy, even instrumentally sometimes! In love with this. Most likely 5'ing.

Definitely -- first non-single I heard, and that's when I immediately knew this was a huge improvement. The "chorus" is so great. Inspire the Liar is wonderful. Philosopher King's instrumentals are brutal. Same with Petting Zoo Justice.

The whole thing is heavy, epic, emotional....while still being fundamentally silly and fun and very DGD. Just more mature somehow. Love the unpredictable song structures as per usual.

GreyShadow

I love how Petting Zoo Justice kicks in right after Exposed and Betrayed by the Game.
My initial favorites are Man of the Year, Frozen One, Here Comes the Winter and Inspire the Liar. These tracks are all so full and nothing seems to outstay its welcome or conversely die too early.

I think my only minor complaint is Tilian's entrance on Chocolate Jackalope is such a weak melody compared to everything else. Hoping it grows, but other than that I really see nothing wrong with this

Yeah the production is actually fuckin gorgeous, everyone plays a clear, discernible, and complementary role in the mix. I'm quite impressed by it. Got some definite clipping in this shite 128kbs leak though. But I'm enjoying it more than most low quality leaks.

And aww....I actually really like Tillians intro to Chocolate Jackalope. If I can say anything about that song, it's that Will once again turns a perfectly fine song into a joke with an interlude. Oh well. They shed most of that cringy stuff, so once in the whole album is a huge improvement.

GreyShadow

I'm perfectly fine with the rest of it. Will's part has a nice little groove. I seem to always give this band a pass for cringy shit. Probably because of how intentional it is and they've definitely got the music to back it up.

But like seriously, why are all of these songs so good?

Am I the only one who kinda digs Swan's part on Chocolate Jackalope, though? I always thought his rapping sections were incredibly obnoxious in the past ("Spooks" being somewhat of an exception) but here it's kind of stupid in an enjoyable way without being annoying.

All told this record completely annihilates AS and IG, both of which I enjoyed, but this feels so much more bombastic and complete.

True, and while somehow being their most cohesive and complete. Tillian sounds less like a pop singer mashed into the band and more like...I don't know....an alternate universe Stephen Christian? It's nice. Really love how he sounds here.
