I didn't really take to Saturday Night Wrist... my favourites are the first one and White Pony.

I quite like Saturday but tbh for me Deftones is one of these bands where having one of their album is enough.

nice, warner brothers, you are assholes

Shoulda been more Koi No Yokan talk in here, what a great record.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 15 April 2014 12:44 (twelve years ago)
It is great, this is a good reminder to pull it out again.
akm - what's the story with Warner Bros? I thought the band themselves decided to shelve Eros, is it being held up by the label now or something?
― djenter the dragon? (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 18:17 (twelve years ago)
in terms of its release, from what i know eros is an incomplete record that'll probably stay incomplete
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 18:19 (twelve years ago)
anyway yeah koi no yokan is probably their best album
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 18:20 (twelve years ago)
That's what I thought too Brad, wasn't sure what akm was saying.
― djenter the dragon? (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 18:21 (twelve years ago)
warner bros took down the youtube of "smile" that the band uploaded themselves for some reason, idk
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 18:23 (twelve years ago)
oh got it
― djenter the dragon? (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 18:30 (twelve years ago)
I just had a geek moment and realized that the way the special red edition of White Pony displays the track times but not the titles on the cover is a nod to the packaging of Hum's Downward Is Heavenward.
Anyway I also think the s/t record is underrated, so many jams and probably their two best guitar-free tracks.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 15 April 2014 18:45 (twelve years ago)
i still think "minerva" is their best single. an incredible summary of their aesthetic
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 18:56 (twelve years ago)
Yesss. The production on that album and that song in particular is so ludicrously expansive (expensive).
― Simon H., Tuesday, 15 April 2014 18:57 (twelve years ago)
every few months i'll put on koi no yokan and it's really one of the best records to come out in the last few years and i think i'm really almost 100 percent sure it's better than white pony

Turmoil in the band as guitarist Stephen Carpenter admits to not liking the direction new album Gore took. Good sign, I think, as he also hated White Pony. Although, I would like to eventually hear a Deftones record directed by Stephen.

can't believe divorcedalcoholicloser isn't on ilx any more
― Szechuan TV (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 21:21 (ten years ago)
i have time for this band but the idea that the honourable gentleman divorcealcoholicloser flouts in the op, which ive heard repeated often, that they are lumped into nu-metal because of "who they hung out with when they first started" is just wrong: they have rap metal songs, there are a number of sonic similarities to other bad and hated nu-metal peers in their music, espesh in the first two albums, i saw them tour with linkin park and taproot 13 years after they formed the band. just embrace the fact that you like a nu-metal band ffs.
― uncle tenderlegdrop (jim in glasgow), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 21:29 (ten years ago)
saying "they have rap metal songs" is p misleading though, they've recorded precisely zero of those in the last 15 years
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 21:45 (ten years ago)
doesn't mean it didn't happen
― uncle tenderlegdrop (jim in glasgow), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 21:47 (ten years ago)
perfectly fine with considering them the best possible nu-metal band
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 22:01 (ten years ago)
their music is still wayyy groove-oriented
is REM rap rock because they did a song with KRS One

A few more Gore songs are kicking around. This is sounding pleasantly all over the place.
