  1. Gonna play this a number of times more, but it's about what I expected so far - some good to really good tracks, but a solid handful of ones that don't interest me. I think the 15 track length contributes to that. Definitely a fun listen though with at least a track or two for everyone! Early favorite that I hadn't listened to before is Dead Horse.

    Comparing Counterparts fans with DGD fans now are we? Oh boy. Love this site lol.

    no no, I'm comparing the lack of changing their sound between albums like both dgd and cp too. I thought that was more than obvious in my initial post.

    Cons:

     

    - Into the Sunset is one of their weakest closers IMO.  It's an okay song, but it's not even remotely as grand as Evaporate, Man of the Year, Turn off the Lights pt. 2, and so on.  Bilmuri's part also feels very forced, like it's cut to really abruptly and just sounds like an excerpt from a Bilmuri song, and then the song goes back to DGD.

     

    I agree with this but I love parts of it still, especially Swan's verse

  4. Alright finished one listen. 

     

    Another great release for DGD as many of us expected. I'll need many more listens to really unveil everything I like and dislike, but initial reactions are as follows. Parallels ending might be my favorite moment on the record and I don't see many people mentioning it; it got the biggest physical reaction out of me at least. Other initial favorites were Prisoner of course, Parody, Born to Fail, Say Hi, Nothing Shameful. The second half came out stronger than the first it seems. Couple other things, I wish Jon played a biiit more of a role in the album overall but at least Secret Band LP2 still sounds as fresh as ever, and I think the lyrical content is just ever so slightly under par. Mothership is still the goat but we all expected that.
