This is why they're my favorite band every new album is different than the last one. They aren't afraid to try new things. But haters are gonna hate. Tillian is killing it right now he is great with this band. Yes, Jonny was also amazing with DGD but he couldn't handle his personal problems and its really hard to tour with a drug addict.
I think this video goes deeper than many people are realizing. With the video highlighting the robots in Tilian's parts and the Animals in Mess' parts, the album art of the robots and animals fighting shows the divide between the older DGD fans and some of the new ones. Then, later, as the second half of the song rolls in, the animals and robots are highlighted over Tilian's singing, signifying this album will be an album for every type of DGD fan. Or maybe I'm over-analyzing. I do remember Feerick saying somewhere that this album will have a DBM2/Acceptance Speech vibe.
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.)
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.
Also fyi Tilians voice was produced by Kris Crummet on the Tides of Man albums and by Matt Mallpase on Acceptance Speech. On Instant Gratification they went back to Kris Crummet. Producers do make a big impact as you can hear.
completely agreed. Loved the tides of man vocals. His vocals on AS were so over produced and processed forcing me to abandon that album. This sounds much better. Still have a place in my heart for all of the Kurt Travis material.
***** Amount of time spent on an album is not an accurate representation of its quality, get that mentality out of your mind. LIJ4Productions That's a good assumption, they could also have had some of these songs in the works since they were working on AS. Albums usually end up being comprised of songs that were chosen from a huge bundle of demos. Enter Shikari's latest album had about 50 demos it was cut from, Periphery had 40 demos to choose from. DGD could have the same situation and just have finally gotten a place to use those demos on
Im so proud of Tilian! He has improved so much from the last album. It seems that he really listened to the criticisms from the last album and fixed most of them without losing his style. Even though this song isn't as innovative as their old stuff, its still fun. Excited to hear more.
Man, every album is always so different than anything they've done before, and is always orchestrated so well musically. So fresh. This is why DGD is one of my favorite bands, and I'm always looking forward to what they have up their sleeve next. So stoked for VII
Jon Mess' screams sound so raw now! He sounds so good. I always have liked tilian.. I think he's a great fit for the band. They seem so complete now since he stepped in.
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.
THIS BAND IS GOLDEN! They've never put out anything bad. It's always something different and awesome. Jon's killing it as always, and Tillian is sounding even better than last album! LET IT ROCK DGD
You have to admit though Tilians vocals have improved so much from AS. I think something may have happened to him vocally to where he can't rip them out like he used to in Tides of Man.
Cole Kenney He actually mentioned that he didn't want to use harsh vocals since the band already had a screamer and he wanted that contrast between them
Apart from the actual music, DGD has had the most success in making good/continuous style album covers. Wouldn't mind a DGD sleeve with their art work. It's just so different but always the same concept. I love it.
Dude that would be dope. I want to get a tat of them really bad but not sure what. I was thinking "open your eyes and look north" because it fits what I already have .
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.
Yeah dude I can really connect to the parts about squashing bugs. I killed a spider the other day and I felt really sad afterwards, so this song gets to me on a deep level
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!!!
Even though I like Happiness / other older albums, this is still pretty goddamn unique compared to everything else on Rise. DGD is one of those bands that if you hate one of their songs and listen to it enough you'll fall in love with it anyways
I'm looking forward to this. I love some of their songs and don't care for others. On The Run is now randomly on the top of my love list. Many other songs have already fallen off the top. Can't wait to see what other ones show up there.
Love the sound they're going for, hope there's more like it in the rest of the album. DGD never fails to add something extra to the post-hardcore genre.
I feel like those of us who are Major fans of this band just have so many emotions we don't express on the outside. And that's why this music speaks to us. If I'm wrong tell me XD
people say the lyrics are random and what not but like, Have you heard the music around now and days with the same lyrics. These guys, Every time a different but same vibe.
Kuraingu_ Ame read there new stuff. I perceive it has someone struggling with substance abuse and a pornography addiction lol. Either way, they kicked ass in philly.
Oi sou brasileira, to escrevendo em português pq to bebada. Gostaria de dizer a vocês do DGV que eu sou apaixonada pela banda desde 2016, quando conheci o álbum Instant Gratification. E sempre ouço vocês pra estudar ou escrever trabalhos acadêmicos. Ficou mais complicado ao longo do tempo, pois quando aprendo a letra, o cerébro distrai lol
Yessir, miss this era of DGD honestly. It stands out much more than their recent stuff (that I still love) since they've "settled" on their sound ever since Mothership.
MegaAnnoying1 THANK YOU FOR THIS! I always loved their album art, but honestly never thought about who makes it. This guy is a great artist and I love his style now. Thinking about spending a bunch of money on his art lol.
I was hooking up with a girl I met online and we were getting drunk like 2nd or 3rd time we metup. since I had roommates she didn't wanna have sex without background noise so I was like put something on my laptop. She played "Instant Gratification" on RUclips.. Dude. wow. When we were all done she went to the bathroom and I started my hunt for this song lol. I kept asking her what song it was and she was like tell me a myriad and all I could remember was little cartoon dudes with spears and she was like "it's On the Run" Lov ed them ever since. me and that girl ended up falling in love and moving in together and had a cool few years. saw DGD 2 times and each was badass. I have some of the best memories in my life tied to this album sir it will always be super special to me. Thanks for reading my depression fueled rant internet stranger.
I am excited for this album. Tillian seems like the guy I'd trust buying a macbook from.
How am I just seeing this comment now that's fucking hilarious lmao
koopahermit you’d buy a MacBook??
lol im sleep
I can’t tell is this a shot at Johnny Craig or are you just genuinely complimenting Tilian? Lol
Apple sucks, MacBook sucks. Had one for a month earlier this year... Returned it asap
Everything this band puts out is a goddamn masterpiece. Once again Jon Mess with the killer lyrics, and wow! Tillian has grown on me.
...killer lyrics?
Joshua Wilson yes
Paweł Kucharzewski how so?
This is why they're my favorite band every new album is different than the last one. They aren't afraid to try new things. But haters are gonna hate. Tillian is killing it right now he is great with this band. Yes, Jonny was also amazing with DGD but he couldn't handle his personal problems and its really hard to tour with a drug addict.
Joshua Wilson becoause i said so
At least 1 rise band knows the meaning of originality
That ending with Jon Mess cracks me up.. this song makes me happy for no discernible reason other than that
Was super sick
I was hoping im not the only one who loves that screamed PARARAPAPA
Zoltán Allaga Jon in the studio must be like fuck it im gonna contribute my own vocals too
Actually, Will Swan does the backing vocals and the vocals you hear at the end.
Leah Beckie Im referring to the scream tho and it sounds like jon mess to me, don't tell me im wrong *gasp*
If there was an award for best lyricist, Jon Mess would win it every fucking time
De Morte Tape either the worst or the best, that I can't tell is the best part
I think this video goes deeper than many people are realizing. With the video highlighting the robots in Tilian's parts and the Animals in Mess' parts, the album art of the robots and animals fighting shows the divide between the older DGD fans and some of the new ones. Then, later, as the second half of the song rolls in, the animals and robots are highlighted over Tilian's singing, signifying this album will be an album for every type of DGD fan.

Are you talking about Matt Geise? Because Matt Mingus is definitely still in the band.
Jason Buckland Yeah I meant Matt Giese haha. If Matt Mingus left that'd be pretty upsetting
/thank/ you
tilian's voice is beautiful, I love him in DGD, and I love Tilian's own album.
I think they work best with tillian also. I agree with you
"Go in raw, have a baby adopt a dog," Truly words to live by.
The end makes me cry cuz it's so beautiful
I could replay that ending all day long!
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.
Also fyi Tilians voice was produced by Kris Crummet on the Tides of Man albums and by Matt Mallpase on Acceptance Speech. On Instant Gratification they went back to Kris Crummet. Producers do make a big impact as you can hear.
i 100 agree with you lol. i can't bump this with Tillian singing all high and shit. he should go back to tides of man.
Godzillatrey Tarprellius lol you must have not read all of B'roken Toews comment.
it was mixed better. straight up.
completely agreed. Loved the tides of man vocals. His vocals on AS were so over produced and processed forcing me to abandon that album. This sounds much better. Still have a place in my heart for all of the Kurt Travis material.
Dance Gavin Dance never puts out a bad album, this band has given me so many memories. Love this band.
that bassline is so sick and groovy
THE BASS I LOVE YOU TIM
Dance Gavin Dance.. one of the few bands that consistently puts out good material.
I feel like Acceptance Speech was just released last month. Already a new album?! It's like Santa stopped by ny house twice in one night
Explains the quality of the albums haha
Their contract with rise was over after AS, im guessing they renewed their contract, and it explains a new album coming out fast
***** Amount of time spent on an album is not an accurate representation of its quality, get that mentality out of your mind.
LIJ4Productions That's a good assumption, they could also have had some of these songs in the works since they were working on AS. Albums usually end up being comprised of songs that were chosen from a huge bundle of demos. Enter Shikari's latest album had about 50 demos it was cut from, Periphery had 40 demos to choose from. DGD could have the same situation and just have finally gotten a place to use those demos on
Agustin Torres thats true, but will swan posted on his facebook that the contract was up with AS. So yeah, lol
LIJ4Productions Yep they resigned a new deal a few months after AS.
RIP Tim :(
Damn... I don't usually cry in songs but... Damn...that last part. Had me sobbing
Tfw when you've been in love with this chick for months and she drops the bomb she doesn't want a relationship. This song keeps me sane
Or in my case, for 6 years. All including being the one that made the bigger mistakes but changes and it was not enough nonetheless.
If Jon stops screaming so damn good I'll never listen to dgd again
Literally the only reason I still listen. Keep up the good work
I love this song. And just found out hes singing about squishing bugs! Now im sad! Dont squish bugs just for the heck of it!
Idk y but that ending made me really emotional
Tilian stepping up huge, love you guys so much. Thank you for never quitting.
Tillian's lyrics at the end are magical. They are so simple yet they flow perfectly.
Those backing vocals in the chorus are ace. Tilians parts are a bit soft but they'll grow on me. The overall sound is sweet.
Im so proud of Tilian! He has improved so much from the last album. It seems that he really listened to the criticisms from the last album and fixed most of them without losing his style. Even though this song isn't as innovative as their old stuff, its still fun. Excited to hear more.
Man, every album is always so different than anything they've done before, and is always orchestrated so well musically. So fresh. This is why DGD is one of my favorite bands, and I'm always looking forward to what they have up their sleeve next.
So stoked for VII
Been listening to DGD for 5 years now.
Kurt, Jonny, Tillian...This band is just so great.
5 years later and I still have the MacBook I bought with them
i just came to assure you that what you said wont go over everyones head, i got it, and youre hilarious lol
lmao best comment in this comment section
My favorite song of Silverstein by far
Jon Mess' screams sound so raw now! He sounds so good. I always have liked tilian.. I think he's a great fit for the band. They seem so complete now since he stepped in.
i think this band is incapable of releasing anything other than masterpieces. Jon mess is amazing and tilian has the voice of a saint
I love this! I've never heard screams used so melodically like in the ending :). I can't get enough of this band!
DGD IS AN AMAZING BAND AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE
that ending is fucking beautiful
The ending gets me every time.
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 think you forgot to mention Will Swan
THIS BAND IS GOLDEN! They've never put out anything bad. It's always something different and awesome. Jon's killing it as always, and Tillian is sounding even better than last album! LET IT ROCK DGD
this song and this album and all of their albums and all of their everything is pure art. dgd will always be my favorite band.
Anyone else disappointed? Cause you better not be. DGD never fucking disappoints
Fuck no DGD for life
I hope Tilian has more aggressive cleans on this record.
Empire Theory-era Tillian and DGD would be awesome.
You have to admit though Tilians vocals have improved so much from AS. I think something may have happened to him vocally to where he can't rip them out like he used to in Tides of Man.
Cole Kenney He smokes too much! :)
Cole Kenney He actually mentioned that he didn't want to use harsh vocals since the band already had a screamer and he wanted that contrast between them
Interesting. Miss those a little bit though.
Apart from the actual music, DGD has had the most success in making good/continuous style album covers. Wouldn't mind a DGD sleeve with their art work. It's just so different but always the same concept. I love it.
Dude that would be dope. I want to get a tat of them really bad but not sure what. I was thinking "open your eyes and look north" because it fits what I already have .
The only two bands that I've seen do that is circa survive, and DGD.
Marcus Huff Ironically enough, i'm heading back to Nashville tomorrow to finish my Circa Survive arm sleeve.
go in raw
have a baby
adopt a dog
fucking perfect.
I really hope the go go claws part in the beginning of the song was a reference to inspector gadget :) DGD is amazing... that is all
The song is great but I think the Will Swan backup vocals really take it over the top. That ending is epic.
Everything that I've seen out of dgd this far is absolutely beautiful.
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 kinda agree.. Like I feel like he gets more personal with the lyrics if that makes sense ö
Arturo Adams I really agree. It makes me feel more connected to the music.
Tillian just keeps getting better and better!
So anticipating this awesome band's albummm!
Fuck. This song is beautiful and it's perfect for what I'm going through right now. I fucking love DGD.
Yeah dude I can really connect to the parts about squashing bugs. I killed a spider the other day and I felt really sad afterwards, so this song gets to me on a deep level
Joshua Wilson i meant tilian's lyrics, not jon's.
I loved every album since Royal Ocean and I'm still here in awe over their music. Never stop changing, DGD.
This song always chokes me up damn it.
This song is just beautiful. Fell in love with it through first time I heard
Really stepped up the bass tone on this. Love that grind. The production in general is way better then Acceptance speech. Till sounds great. HYPED
PURE FREAKING GOLD! These guys are on a whole different level. Tillian has just made them better.
I literally listen to this album everyday
This album has the chance to cement this line-up...dare I say...as the best DGD line-up thus far. Tillian really fits this band. Like a glove.
BA DA DA DA DO BA DA DA DA DA DO BA DA DA DA DO BA DA DA DA DA DO!!
Dgd is love, dgd is life
YES! THEY'RE SO FUCKING BACK IN THEIR A-GAME.
Also, Kris Crummett's production SLAYS.
DGD IS SO RELIABLE FOR SUCCESS. ONE OF THE FEE BANDS WHO HAS MEVER DISAPPOINTED ME.
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!!!
This is a huge step from Acceptance Speech and I LOVED that album.
*replays until the end of time*
woow, could this be possible... this band has none flaws, everysong theyd made its perfect o.o
Tillian is awesome here, he's not super-overedited. I still really dig Acceptance Speech but he has a much more natural voice here.
all the positive comments here going six years back just make me so happy
Yep. Jon Mess is still Jon Mess. Really looking forward to the release!
I also want to adopt a dog for some reason...
I've never been a huge fan of DGD but this new stuff is really making me like it more and more. Love how well the vocals mesh.
Go in raw 👌✨
Can't get enough of it.
how lovely is this song? yeah... it's lovely!
Now this is the DGD that I know, welcome back, guys
This is amazing! I used to be a Kurt Travis fanboy, but I'm really liking Tillian's voice lately. And Tim's bass tone is heavenly. Great song guys :)
DGD's album artwork is always the best.
Even though I like Happiness / other older albums, this is still pretty goddamn unique compared to everything else on Rise. DGD is one of those bands that if you hate one of their songs and listen to it enough you'll fall in love with it anyways
I'm looking forward to this. I love some of their songs and don't care for others. On The Run is now randomly on the top of my love list. Many other songs have already fallen off the top. Can't wait to see what other ones show up there.
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard!!!
They grew up. Their newer stuff is sooo much better than their previous stuff. That's my opinion.
Lmao wtf ^
Jason LovesPWD Haha, of course. Thanks. x}
Jason LovesPWD wtf??? ^
Jason LovesPWD I don't use facebook but you could follow me on Twitter. hahah ^ Uhm it's: @ jury0fwolves.
wow
Love the sound they're going for, hope there's more like it in the rest of the album. DGD never fails to add something extra to the post-hardcore genre.
Dance gavin dance will never disappoint
Knock on wood don't jinx us
Everything this band puts out is a goddamn masterpiece. Once again Jon Mess with the killer lyrics, and wow! Tillian is amazing 💙 ❤️ 💙 ❤️
i agree
I feel like those of us who are Major fans of this band just have so many emotions we don't express on the outside. And that's why this music speaks to us. If I'm wrong tell me XD
So true!
Man I can't get enough of this band. My eyes lit up like Christmas tree lights when I saw this album up for preorder on iTunes.
I see that Jon Mess is back to his usual lyrical nonsense. He got a little less insane on acceptance speech but it seems that he's back to normal now
ikr its great! I got a lot of secret band vibes from his lyrics now...
lozz3rs Trueee.
haha, have you seen his lyrics on the Secret Band debut album?
I think it's just lyrically dense, I don't think its nonsense. It's abstract, impressionist, post-modern type of writing. That's just me tho.
Curtis Wright
No, that's just the acid.
I love them for who they were and who they've become... I love it and cant wait!
people say the lyrics are random and what not but like, Have you heard the music around now and days with the same lyrics. These guys, Every time a different but same vibe.
When the lyrics can be perceived and interpreted in different ways, then they're a lot more like art.
Kuraingu_ Ame read there new stuff. I perceive it has someone struggling with substance abuse and a pornography addiction lol. Either way, they kicked ass in philly.
These two new singles are so bad ass! Some of my favorite music already.
Oi sou brasileira, to escrevendo em português pq to bebada. Gostaria de dizer a vocês do DGV que eu sou apaixonada pela banda desde 2016, quando conheci o álbum Instant Gratification. E sempre ouço vocês pra estudar ou escrever trabalhos acadêmicos. Ficou mais complicado ao longo do tempo, pois quando aprendo a letra, o cerébro distrai lol
Hahaha que massa. Sou apaixonado pela banda tbm desde que descobri esse álbum sem querer logo que lançou.
That clean vocals...
Just awesome
2024 anyone?
Yessir, miss this era of DGD honestly. It stands out much more than their recent stuff (that I still love) since they've "settled" on their sound ever since Mothership.
All day
Yes I'am
You know it.
this song deserves more love
This is absolutely perfect
The lyrics are pretty random but their sound is amazing! I love there cover art as well, I wonder who does it?
Emi Harrington Mattias Adolfsson :)
MegaAnnoying1 THANK YOU FOR THIS! I always loved their album art, but honestly never thought about who makes it. This guy is a great artist and I love his style now. Thinking about spending a bunch of money on his art lol.
Love how u can here the bass more clearer
I was hooking up with a girl I met online and we were getting drunk like 2nd or 3rd time we metup. since I had roommates she didn't wanna have sex without background noise so I was like put something on my laptop. She played "Instant Gratification" on RUclips.. Dude. wow. When we were all done she went to the bathroom and I started my hunt for this song lol. I kept asking her what song it was and she was like tell me a myriad and all I could remember was little cartoon dudes with spears and she was like "it's On the Run" Lov ed them ever since. me and that girl ended up falling in love and moving in together and had a cool few years. saw DGD 2 times and each was badass. I have some of the best memories in my life tied to this album sir it will always be super special to me. Thanks for reading my depression fueled rant internet stranger.
Lovely
Acceptance Speech was amazing. I have a feeling that this will be even better!
everytime I hear Dance Gavin Dance I picture a baby robot pig dancing in the middle of the street, Dance Gavin DAAAANNCCCEE!! beautiful!!!
It's kind of weird that that actually sums up how I feel when listening to DGD.
Lol
Gavin was a turtle I think so Instead of a pig, I'd think of a baby robot turtle dancing
Best band on Rise and it's not even close.
Beginning of this track sounding like the middle of a DBZ battle
DGD stays killing it
Anyone got referred from Jarrod Alonge's recent "Misheard Lyrics" video?
yep
i cant unhear it even when i read the lyrics in the video
Simon Tonekham Yup. I still misheard the lyrics even though they're on display 😂
That beginning kicks so hard it makes me frown. Well done DGD.
