This goes to show that no vocalist makes a band. Dance Gavin Dance's self titled album aka The Death Star Album is an instant classic. This album bring a new aggressive feel to the post hardcore genre. Kurt Travis the new lead singer does an amazing job with this album and Jon Mess bring a counter part of pure aggression that he always brings. Alex English is a great opener which goes straight in to Buffalo which has an amazing breakdown. The best tracks are Hot Water On Wool/reprise,Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most,Rock Solid,Caviar,Burning Down the Nicotine Amorie Pt 2, Reprogramming Mental Programing,People You Know,Buffalo! maybe its just hear the three songs they released earlier made the kinda old to my ears although they are fucking great songs.The lyrics and clean vocals are more understandable compared to those on Whatever I Say is Royal Ocean and Downtown Battle Mountain.Jon and Kurt mash very well. The guitars are fucking mind blowing!i don't think there is really a rythum part there are two lead haha. if you listen to the songs Will and Zac's part are both pretty technically and awesome. bass is amazing check out the solo on The Robot pt3. The drum are boss.as always nothing short of amazing.Oh and last but not least....Matt Geise[lower definition],Chino Moreno[deftones],Nic Newsham[Gatsby's American Dream] do an amazing job at guess vocals.The point is DGD epically out did themselves. the album is different no doubt but it is still dance gavin dance.3.0 goodEmarosa RelativityThere is no doubt on vocal presence on the Emarosa cd. Jonny Craig does a FANTASTIC job on the vocals, he kills it. but vocals are not a whole band.basically everything else is very mediocre. The sound is good.thats it.not amazing the hype behind this cd is jonny craig that is it. the best songs are the two part finales but vocally all the songs are great the instrumentation needs work although i am interested to see the next emarosa album.im hoping the go a tab bit heavier like saosin with anthony green. you have to accent you amazing lead singer with some type of screamer.maybe a guitarist or bass player can do screams or something they dont have to nessicarly be a dual vocalist but a backing screamer or something. to at least give a return to the emarosa of old.
