While both songs felt safe/mixed with Tilian in mind, listening to Andrew talk about the future has me hopeful we’ll get some heavy hitters with or without a new clean vocalist. Will, Jon, Matt, and Andrew are getting better and better IMO and this transition will be a healthy way forward for the band.

I like these two new songs (especially Straight From the Heart) but I hope they don't release more songs that sound like it was written when Tilian was still in the band that made Andrew emulating Tilian's range and vocal style. They need new songs that are written with Andrew's vocals in mind

@ShayneMacGregor Ай бұрын

Yeah the more I listen to these tracks back to back, it seems like on Speed Demon, Andrew is singing in a higher range similar to Tillian. Andrew mentioned taking vocal lessons to help him sing in a higher pitch, and it really shows on Speed Demon. I feel like Straight from the Heart is more in Andrews normal vocal range. Maybe they were trying something with the two songs, singing in a different pitch on each song. I personally like Straight from the Heart much more than Speed Demon.

I feel like they only had those heavier sections like the one you expected on their album Mothership, but other than that not really, at least, not as much. That's why it's still my personal favorite of theirs. Andrew is an awesome vocalist and from what he said on a podcast, there's no actual plan set in stone right now. They're trying something with those 2 singles, but there's no plan for an album with just the four of them right now. He mentioned it was like Secret band 2 + him right now. Jon will be the main focus and Andrew will assist him if you will. Maybe that's why they went for this kind of mix for Andrew' vocals. They attempted something to kind of solidify this statement. I enjoyed everything since Mothership, but I was never able to come back to their stuff as much as I used to. Hopefully they'll experiment a little more because those two songs didn't do much for me either.

@Cobalt985 2 ай бұрын

100%. I fully believe that this is because 1. the departure of Tilian, who had a more poppy voice and taste; and 2. the introduction of Sergio Medina (SUPER underrated, guy just doesn't get enough credit). Sergio in particular is just inclined towards that darker and more dissonant sound that we hear in Straight From the Heart. If you haven't listened to Stolas already you need to. I really love their last album, the self-titled.

Maybe it's because i was introduce to dgd with mothership but I'm bummed to see tilliam leave. I am so used to his highs that it sounds like a different band to me without those highs. I love Andrew and i think he is a better technical vocalist with better runs (similar to jonny) than tilian but nobody has those highs. Doesn't help that nothing shameful and inspire the liars are my favorite songs lol. They're unstoppable regardless!

I don’t know if it’s a function of the vocal mix or Andrew’s different vocals, but in these two singles there’s a lack of contrast between the cleans and unclean. And maybe that’s why these don’t hit for me. What I liked most about the Tilian era was the contrast and interplay between his vocals and Jon’s. I don’t get that in these tbh.

You missed Slaves in the Jonny Craig saga. Jonny made Slaves then they kicked him out and then they were like "Maybe Slaves isn't the best name for a band" and then they renamed themselves to Rain City Drive which has an awesome singer that was actually on The Voice but no connection to anyone in DGD (surprisingly). 6 degrees of DGD

Tilian had a catchy groove to his vocals that made their musical chaos hooky and fun/unique to listen to. These sound generic and kinda flat for me, personally. I do think they built a lot of their sound and melodies around Tilian’s vocals. And since he isn’t there anymore, they’re trying to find their musical direction again which will probably be less poppy and hooky, as the main contributor for that is gone now.

Things you forgot; - Jon Mess leaving the band and Will Swan taking over unclean vocals for a couple years, - Andrew being part of the band and doing some clean vocals while Tilian was in the band (it wasn't a direct replacement of Tilian, unlike the previous clean singer changes where one member left and was replaced by another) - Andrew covering for Tilian as the lead vocalist when Tilian left the band for a while following sexual abuse allegations.

The video and gobby's appearance make it so blatantly obvious what it's about that it would be so petty if it didn't kinda slap.
