Deftones

[Huell]

I mean the wash of high guitar gain that makes the chords hard to distinguish. I have been checking the internet for updates on the album for the past 2 years. It will take several listens over time for me form an opinion. I had a run through the albums there and Self Titled is still showing me new details.

I have been stuck into the Machina remaster anyway. My attention is split!

Okay, don't ban this doofus.

[VinylGuy]

Yeah, im loving the energy of this one.

[Ms Harmless]

the only track I'm meh on / I can take or leave is "Metal Dreams"; the rest of the album is high tier Deftones

[Ms Harmless]

"Infinite Source" and "Milk of the Madonna" are my favourite songs

[LoathedVermin72]

Milk is by far the best. Second favorites would be Ecdysis, Cut Hands, and Metal Dream

[bart]

Yeah milk and ecdysis are my favs so far

[zeb]

Gimme more i think about you all the time, Chino my man.

[Ms Harmless]

is "Locked Club" about Chino wishing there was a Straight Pride?

[Ms Harmless]

is "Locked Club" about Chino wishing there was a Straight Pride?

in all seriousness I think it's about culty religion, "closer to God", "staring up from the water" etc

[Ms Harmless]

this album is truly the gift that keeps on giving

[Ms Harmless]

I don't understand why Self-titled is so underrated

[LoathedVermin72]

Yeah I don’t get that either, it’s just as good as their other albums from that era

[VinylGuy]

I like this new album a lot. Great energy, you can actually hear the bass !!

infinite source sounds like a mix between Deftones and Smashing Pumpkins

[LoathedVermin72]

you can actually hear the bass !!

So is Sergio Vega going to go down as Jason Newsted while Fred Sablan is Robert Trujillo?

[VinylGuy]

ha i dont know but the bass in ecdysis is tasty

[bart]

Seems like a good bass player but he was the worst fucking character in street fighter by far

[LoathedVermin72]

Trying Ohms again. Yeah, still a no from me. This is so dull and uninspired. "Error" is pretty good but that's about it for me here

I enjoy Ohms musically but it doesn't help that the first lyrics are middle-aged centrism 101: "I reject both sides of what I've been told... I've finally achieved balance!"

the record has a hard time regaining my attention after that

Agree with this, these are embarrassing lyrics, and made much more egregious by being the first words you hear

[Ello Sailor]

But Ohms is still above Gore, correct?

[LoathedVermin72]

But Ohms is still above Gore, correct?

Nah, Gore has "Prayers / Triangles" so it gets the edge
