Our Take

Ah, Dance Gavin Dance, the gift that keeps on giving in the post-hardcore scene. Their latest release, "Afterburner," is a rollercoaster of sonic delights that will have you headbanging one minute and questioning your existence the next.

From the moment you press play, you're engulfed in a whirlwind of technical guitar riffs, mind-bending time signature changes, and Jon Mess's signature screams that sound like a feral cat being strangled (in the best way possible).

Lead vocalist Tilian Pearson's silky smooth voice provides the perfect contrast to Mess's raw energy, creating a dynamic that keeps you on your toes throughout the entire album. Tracks like "Prisoner" and "Strawberry's Wake" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend pop sensibilities with their trademark chaotic sound.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows in DGD land. Some tracks, like "Parody Catharsis," veer dangerously close to self-parody with their over-the-top theatrics and nonsensical lyrics. And let's be real, the album art looks like it was designed by a hyperactive 5-year-old on a sugar rush.

Overall, "Afterburner" is a solid addition to Dance Gavin Dance's discography, showcasing their ability to evolve and push boundaries in a genre that often gets stuck in a rut. So grab your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and prepare to be whisked away on a wild musical journey. Just don't forget to hold on tight - things are about to get bumpy.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the impact that Dance Gavin Dance has had on the music scene.
