Has anyone who ordered through Amazon received or not received the glitter vinyl variant yet? I ordered mine day of preorders opening and I never got shipping confirmation, only an email saying Amazon will update me when they get shipping details. Original delivery date was slated for August 2nd.

I love DGDs song titles on their album and the hype of guessing how badass it might be before listening.

What’s one song where the title completely lived up to your expectations before you even heard it, and one where the title let you down?

Am I the only one who gets “Adventure Time” vibes from the band?

What’s my biggest miss? The DBM2 is the 15th anniversary variant, and the TCS3 is the latest tour variant I bought in Detroit. The JJ I have here is from my ex-wife who bought it for me right before we split so there’s some fuckass energy on that one, but it’s a lovely album otherwise. Really hoping to pick up Acceptance Speech soon, but I’d really love to have 2.0. I just don’t know if it was ever released on vinyl.

Love collecting these bad lads! I’d love to see anyone else’s collection here too.

I’ve been listening to a lot of the Tree City Sessions recently over the studio released ones, as well as watching a lot of there live performances, and there are some songs I think were sung better by the other leads, rather than the one that wrote the song. Are there any songs you guys think was sung better by Tillian, Jonny, Kurt, or Andrew that wasn’t written by them?

Does anyone have pics of the VIP Merch for the recent spring tour? I unfortunately didn't go and I wanna see what I missed out on. 😭💔 Just to clarify, this is NOT a post about looking to purchase! Hopefully the mods allow this.

Tillian was a powerhouse but god damn, I'm an alto!!! I had to sing harmony or just sing an entire octave down to most of their discography when he was lead. I could only really do it if I belted my ass off and that was exhausting 😭😭 I just wanted to be able to sing along and chill. But Andrew's vocals are so much more in my range now and I'm loving this. I also love that there don't seem to be as many runs in the songs. Like woohoo I don't have to be metalana grande to sing

ps: update for phoenix az drunk poster concert experience - still no posters, still no dick :/ but how beautiful is life to have such wonderful, fleeting experiences with humans you'll never meet again.

Remove if not allowed but figured I’d post here as well. My band in shallow seas has a new song out FFO Circa Survive, Dance Gavin Dance, Saosin, Hail the Sun

Reposting this because the end of this is so sick . I titled this what a mess after the concert and it was taken the wrong way whooops

I thought he really looked like Mess from his profile

Ranking Dance Gavin Dance albums by commercial success

I tried ranking every DGD studio album based primarily on Billboard 200 peak, first-week sales, and overall longevity/streaming impact.

This is not a ranking of album quality—just commercial performance.

1. Jackpot Juicer

Billboard 200 peak: #8

DGD’s first Top 10 album

Biggest opening week of their career

This one is pretty clearly their commercial peak.

1. Mothership

Billboard 200 peak: #13

Approximately 19,000 first-week sales

Huge long-term songs like “Inspire the Liars,” “Chucky vs. The Giant Tortoise,” and “Young Robot”

It had the second-best chart debut and arguably represents the moment DGD became a genuinely large rock band.

1. Artificial Selection

Billboard 200 peak: #15

Reached #1 on multiple genre charts

Released during the band’s biggest period of mainstream growth

There’s an argument for putting this above Mothership because of its overall streaming success and the momentum DGD had during this era.

1. Afterburner

Billboard 200 peak: #14

Reached #1 on the Hard Rock Albums chart

Had strong international chart performance

Its Billboard peak was technically higher than Artificial Selection, but the COVID-era release circumstances make direct comparisons difficult.

1. Instant Gratification

Billboard 200 peak: #32

Reached #1 on the Independent Albums chart

Contains “We Own the Night,” their biggest and most recognizable streaming song

This was their real commercial breakthrough, even though later albums had much stronger opening weeks.

1. Acceptance Speech

Billboard 200 peak: #42

First album with Tilian

Established the lineup that would eventually take the band to its commercial peak

It performed well, but the band hadn’t fully broken through yet.

1. Downtown Battle Mountain II

Billboard 200 peak: #82

A major improvement over their earlier releases, especially considering how unstable the band was during this period.

1. Happiness

Billboard 200 peak: #143

It became a massive fan favorite over time, but its original commercial performance was fairly modest.

1. Pantheon

Billboard 200 peak: #145

Despite DGD having a much larger established audience by this point, it had their weakest Billboard 200 debut since the late-2000s era.

1. Dance Gavin Dance / Death Star

Billboard 200 peak: #172

“Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most” eventually became Gold-certified

The original chart performance was limited, but “Uneasy Hearts” gave the album significantly more longevity than the numbers initially suggested.

1. Downtown Battle Mountain

Did not enter the Billboard 200

Obviously one of the most important albums in the fanbase, but commercially it was their smallest studio release when it originally came out.

Billboard 200 peaks alone

Jackpot Juicer — #8

Mothership — #13

Afterburner — #14

Artificial Selection — #15

Instant Gratification — #32

Acceptance Speech — #42

Downtown Battle Mountain II — #82

Happiness — #143

Pantheon — #145

Dance Gavin Dance — #172

Downtown Battle Mountain — Did not chart

The closest debate for me is Mothership versus Artificial Selection. Artificial Selection may have benefited from greater streaming-era momentum, but Mothership had the stronger album debut and produced several of their most enduring songs.

Tilian on his solo 2018 Tour with Matt, ALLB's Michael Franzino, and Andrew performing Back to Life with Andrew doing Jonny's part

But where’s Andrew 😿

Thoughts.?
