2.0 poor | bobcarl2 | June 4th 18 | The same album with Tillian part 4. Not sure why I bothered listening because I can't even get down with this genre/style anymore.

4.5 superb | TheManMachine | October 12th 18 | Deep in the caverns of imagination is 2001 me patting present me on the back while a mere-two-months ago me looks on in awe and disdain. From a download to see how bad they REALLY were came a guilty pleasure turned purchased CD turned cautiously yet unquestionably gung-ho for album. A consummate contrast of appallingly appealing cleans and angsty throat shredding that's silly and seductive, dramatic and dazzling, swarming with sweeping skillz. It's hard to tell if this is frontloaded or if they're just taxing in general or both, lyrics legible or not are oft absurd to the point of asinine and/or conjure a cringe -- beautiful catharsis, not wanting to be treated like a psycho, belly-placed popcorn tellin' ya things, bright asses in battle, smoking weed out of a pussy filled with money, etc. -- but this sheen-n-severity stew consistently strikes a nerve. Many a lil memorable touch and quirk; but they're surely just a bonus to some stupidly huge hooks+harmonies that you'll unabashedly wail in your worst falsetto. Sing along, now: "Don't fight, it's too magnetic."

5.0 classic | noahconstrictor | June 20th 18 | My initial impressions were flawed. This has quickly become one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is just so well crafted and constructed, and the choruses and hooks are so catchy I find myself singing them to myself randomly.

3.5 great | ATTA | March 25th 18 | Its great to see the band stay consistent after five years. I’m waiting for that one album that blows my
mind, and
I want this one to be the one.
Update: This album kicks ArSe

3.5 great | FamousAtticus | October 26th 20 | I enjoyed. I listen to it occasionally still. Its a great record. Not perfect, slightly above good. rMy favorite tracks from the album (in no order): Son of Robot, Flash and Evaporate.

4.5 superb | gib91688 | May 24th 20 | This album, particularly the first five tracks and the closer, really grew on me. One of my go-to post hardcore albums.

3.0 good | stasar | November 9th 18 | A mixed bag of incredible and lackluster songs. Highlights: Gospel Burnout, Evaporate
Bump |
5.0 classic | JayM | September 28th 18 | I really love this album. From Son of Robot, to Count Bassy, to Evaporate, it's all gut wrenching music sung with heart.

2.5 average | ambiance762 | June 21st 18 | Pretty disappointing compared to their past few releases. There are CLEAR HIGHLIGHTS amongst the weak tracks though:rSon of RobotrMidnight CrusaderCount BassyrThe RattlerrShelf LiferEvaporater

3.3 great | Trey STAFF | June 18th 18 | Easily Dance Gavin Dance's most diverse release. I llike the blend of all their different styles and eras, it makes for an album where every song has its own identity.
Bump |
4.0 excellent | Risodo | June 11th 18 | "Artificial Selection" is just Dance Gavin Dance being themselves. All their albums sound the same, and this is sometimes bad, even though i consider their work almost perfect. In "Artificial Selection", we see a sequence of "Mothership", that is, it is the band using the same formula in different ways, to reach a new level of competence and innovation. All this process has not really been visualized here, but who knows in the future?

3.5 great | Stephen | June 10th 18 | Might change the rating, but after the first listen I dunno if I like it or not. Must listen to it some more to form my final opinion. But it is a DGD album for sure, weird lyrics and nice melodies and intrumentals.
Bump |
3.5 great | GreyShadow | June 9th 18 | who cares anymore. it's DGD. it's pretty damn great. what more is there to say. don't it feel good? you got what you paid for.
Bump |
3.5 great | BiscuitKnees | June 7th 18 | Sounds like DGD. No real surprises here, but consistent release from a solid band.
Bump |
4.5 superb | ShadowNeko | June 6th 18 | This album is nuts.rFucking loving every second.
Bump |
5.0 classic | Aenima97 | June 3rd 18 | Upped my rating to 5, due to the old track callbacks in Evaporate. HOLY SHIT.
Bump |
4.5 superb | Zachery Cotto | June 2nd 18 | That high note that Tilian hits at the end of Bloodsucker is the best thing I've heard out of him. My God.
Bump |
0.0 | stuck_in_decades | March 28th 18 | lots of fun riffs and other good parts scattered throughout, but overall it's kinda meh to me. that and tilian still doesn't and will never do it for me but i've come to terms with that i guess.
