This is levels above Midnight Crusade as a first single, I'm fucking loving the funky sound.

This is such a good song. Holds true to classic DGD-isms, but feels like it's progressed their sound just a bit from the formula they've been using the last couple of records.

Why is this the first time I'm hearing Tillian scream on a DGD track?? His scream has so much power, it's amazing. This song makes great use of his voice; the chorus absolutely soars.

Looking like another classic DGD 4/5 "sound hasn't evolved but still sounds great"

Yeah, his yell in Inpsire the Liars is pretty amazing. Apparently he wished fans wouldn't pick that song for the fan-selected setlist because of how vocally challenging that song is, lol.

But this is the "harshest" scream I think he's done

it's not that mind blowing... despite the "amount" of parts he's had, he's utilized much differently than he used to be. thrown out there like a featured artist in his own group to do some yelling for a verse or two and reeled back in. they've gotten a little better with it recently with some of the song structures being tailored to his strengths but it's still very noticeable

Momentai

I can think of most tracks from IG, Mothership, and Artificial where Mess doesnt feel like that. Id argue hes incorporated even better now. And certainly isnt sidelined for Tilian like I see some comments saying.

Cool detail I noticed about the album art if some of you guys didn't catch. If you place it right next to the Artificial Selection album art, on the bottom in particular, they contrast between "heaven" and "hell" and form one singular piece of art.

I love this band as much as the next guy, but I will admit they've been doing the lick-silence-lick-silence-chords-repeat formula a lot recently. Same with the chord-lick-chord-lick formula. But then again, the possibilities are endless using these methods lol

I'm all for shattering the gender norms and toxic masculinity....but christ do I hate it when we get "OOOOH-WO-OH-WO-OH" Tillian, like those 2 scum albumless singles we got last summer or whenever. Husky Tillian is definitely better. He's got a great voice but when he goes truly pop-effeminate I cringe a little. I really, really like this though. He definitely should try yelling/screaming more in their songs because he's good at it.
