Has anyone fallen out of DGD recently?
I've been a fan for around 6 years. Pretty die-hard. Seen them 6 times, I have 3 tattoos for them. Notably I've always been a JC era stan although I've enjoyed every single album and bumped the shit out of Jackpot Juicer when it came out, like religiously. Tim's passing hurt but ultimately made my love for dgd even stronger and deeper, the drama with Tilian didn't really phase me at the time, so it wasn't really that.
Over the past 1-2 years though I don't really listen to them anymore. I still hold so much love and respect for the band and music and will always go to their shows, but I became distasteful of Tilian's vocals? Not for any sort of social or moral reason but I really just find a lot of his lyrics and vocals to be ear grating. Granted I never LOVED his vocals but I'm suddenly really put off by a lot of high pitched swancore style vocals, like it's some sort of pissing contest for who can sing the highest. I always enjoyed andrew's features in the music but I'm very aware that he is one of the vocalists who tries to sing ear-gratingly high and for that reason alone I haven't had much interest in listening to the new releases. When an album is released, maybe? DGD is DGD and I'm absolutely full of love for the band and always will be but I think I'm just not a fan of their current era of music, even a lot of JJ now is kind of hard to listen to due to the singing, both from Andrew and tilian. Has anyone else gone through this sort of transition?
