[@donnymcjonny6531]

I've been listening for over a decade now and have never heard it. These takes are so raw and unfiltered. The crackling of the mics just add to the aggressive, powerful sounds, and makes the harmonics in the first song (and the rest of Will Swan's beachy guitar) sound all-the-more soothing. Like a breath of fresh air in the middle of a turbulent stream

[@censored116]

the contrast between the distorted and clean guitars are amazing
always so sudden!

[@vipireon864]

this is incredibly incredible

[@peechup3956]

I always loved the dynamic of two vocalists going at the same time while not hogging attention. The instrumentals add on to this even more giving you plenty to keep track of and enjoy. (This demo was pretty shitty, good thing they got picked up.)

[@mlewis345]

LMFAOO I knoowwww :P

[@xXDarkxIdealsXx]

If by "shitty" you mean the really "underground" tone the album has that makes it sound almost like you're listening to a band play live at a venue in someone's basement while a tiny moshpit is wailing away, then sure. But that's a good thing in my opinion.
If I was the record label guy who first heard this demo I would IMMEDIATELY rush to sign them as they have 3 things that a mid 2000s alt/hard-core scene band would kill to have: 1) Incredibly unique guitar and vocals. Not just on a technical level either. They just OOZE style.
2) Fills a gap between more mainstream post hard-core bands marketable on hot topic t-shirts and underground hipster bands.
3) incredible gift for writing songs into stand alone experiences. Each song gives off its own vibe and they are all written in such a way that you could insert them into almost any other DGD album replacing song number 5 etc.. and it'd feel right at home.
In short what I'm saying is: their "shitty demo" feel is the thing that makes them great. Their choice to focus on incredible technical instrumentals with soaring groovy vocals alongside a basement scene atmosphere instead of creating a perfectly chopped up auto tuned radio trackset is in my humble opinion the main reason they are so beloved to this day.
