Pop that, shock and awe, get that grab it, go go claws
I go broke when I assume I suck, flex my settlement, I’m selling stuff
Get that, go in raw, have a baby, adopt a dog
Well I blasted enacted and off to space, Well I practiced adapted,
and it felt great
Right now I need somebody
A little taste of honey
Legs don’t matter, they’re just softening, I’m limpin
Bugs don’t matter, no death is suffering, so squish it.
I’m giving in this time
Temptation running wild
Shutting down my mind
You got me on the run (uh oh)
You know me more than anybody (uh oh)
You caught me with the gun in my hand (uh oh)
But I don’t care bout anybody but you
I’m on a roll
I can’t contain myself
I need a taste
Don’t tell me that we’re done (uh oh)
I know you more than anybody (uh oh)
I’ll make it up to you I swear (uh oh)
Cuz I don’t care bout anybody but you
I got a feeling that you’re dropping the bomb tonight
And leaving me on my own
Took all your pictures off the wall and you were cold as ice
When we talked on the phone
If you want it come home maybe we could work it out
You know I would take it back if I could
Or we could leave it in the past and try make it out
Hit the radio and set the mood
I did you wrong now let me atone
Cuz I don’t think we’ll make it all alone
Alone
I got a feeling that we’re here to stay
Stick with me and I can take you there
I’m not about to throw it all away
Holding on to what we got, so rare
The main problem I had with Acceptance Speech was that Tilian's highs were almost unnaturally high; not necessarily bad, but a little more difficult to listen to on a regular basis than Kurt or Jonny. His change here towards his older Tides of Man-ish style is exactly what I was hoping for, and I am unnaturally excited to hear the rest of this album.
Literally masterful.
DGD has always kind of set itself apart from other screamo (Shit, if you can call them that.) due to the clearly-defined pentameter, Will Swan, the screaming that still sticks to the tune, the cleans that don't get over mixed so they don't sound jarring next to everything else, Will Swan, the way that one song can change tempo multiple times and Will Swan.
I kinda wish Rise would knock off shoving ads at the end of videos though. I came here to listen to a new release, not hear samples off of other artists, I'll click them if I want to.
I like Kurt, Tillian, and Jonny, but I feel like Tillian just works with this band better. Idk about you guys, but I get more of a sense of passion and meaning in their words a bit more with Tillian.
I'm 51yrs old and this is one of my all time favourite bands. DGD is one of the truly great bands of their generation…Fucking sooo sick, each and every one of them. Great songs and lyrics, wicked players, singers and screaming. Amazing arrangements..Just a great band no matter who was in it. Awesome!
I am so glad they went back to Kris Crummett for the production on this album. He knows them the best having done most of their albums. Cannot wait for the release of this LP!!!
I loved Tilian in Tides Of Man. I love Tilian as Tilian. I love Tilian in DGD. I love all of DGD. Johnny is never coming back, there's obviously a reason Matt is not in the band, Kurt found his home in ALLB, so now they have Tilian. (I'm butt-hurt people don't seem to like him.)
I am so thankful DGD keeps making music. It's these guys that got me into this kind of music and I'm so grateful for that. Ever since I listened to Downtown Battle Mountain 6-7 years ago, it has been my all time fav album. I've been obsessed with that album and everything else they've put out since. Listening to this now just brings me joy that DGD has never quit despite all the band member changes, and I'm especially grateful for Will Swan and Matt Mingus for staying the whole time to keep DGD, DGD. Also Jon Mess as well for staying for almost the whole time. Please continue making music for as long as you can, there's people out here who appreciate it more than you know.
