Artwork and album title

The album artwork for Afterburner was illustrated by Swedish artist Mattias Adolfsson, who previously created the artwork for every Dance Gavin Dance album since the band's debut studio album, Downtown Battle Mountain (2007). The album cover depicts a robot minotaur figure, named Gavin Afterburner, [26] in the center with creatures seemingly cowering around the figure whilst the environment around them is engulfed in flames. In an interview with Rock Sound , the band expressed that they had received the artwork prior to writing sessions so they could create a more cohesive album, similar to their past two studio albums. [27] A mural of the album cover was painted by Duce One on the side of the Flame Club in Sacramento, California in February 2020. [28] On March 18, 2020, Jon Mess shared the reference painting for the album cover art. [29]

The album's title "afterburner" itself has several different meanings and ideologies. An afterburn, the psychological term, is defined as the period of time before a past event is assimilated. The band's lore within their album covers tell a universal story which continues to be portrayed on this album's cover and is considered a continuation of the album cover for Artificial Selection .

Afterburner was released to critical acclaim. Alex Sievers of Kill Your Stereo wrote that the album is "intricate, catchy, emotional and deceptively complex" while being the band's most consistent album to date. [25] "It is simultaneously the most Dance Gavin Dance record that you could expect these days, whilst containing plenty of fresh ideas and different genre influences that tastefully boost their progressive post-hardcore sound with funk, rap, Latin, and pop vibes." [25] Wall of Sound gave a positive review of the album, saying what "they’ve delivered is an innovative album that sounds like classic DGD and yet not at all". [46] Andy Katz of Scene Daddy went so far as to say that "this is the best record of Dance Gavin Dance’s career". [47]

Afterburner was not without some criticism, even within positive reviews. Connor Welsh of New Transcendence wrote "while it might not have the replay value or nostalgic appeal some of their previous records have, Afterburner sees Dance Gavin Dance working cohesively—a creative unit with all cylinders firing—and creating a strong, solid—albeit safe—contribution to their airtight discography."
