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.

liking this single but I admire fans who can tell most of their songs apart

why is everyone too cool for deftones
― sunlick databait extremer, Wednesday, 16 March 2016 20:33 (ten years ago)
I am emphatically not too cool for deftones
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 20:47 (ten years ago)

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

― uncle tenderlegdrop (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:17 (ten years ago)
jim in glasgow what if someone called you nu metal. pls think about that
― sunlick databait extremer, Thursday, 17 March 2016 18:35 (ten years ago)
the first show i went to was korn supported by helmet and limp bizkit.
i am nu-metal
― uncle tenderlegdrop (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 17 March 2016 18:37 (ten years ago)
those are some "deft tones" that these guys are playing!
― ejemplo (crüt), Friday, 25 March 2016 16:55 (ten years ago)
most deft

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

And "Phantom Bride" contains something truly shocking.

a vinyl rip is out there

if that's your kind of thing
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 3 April 2016 15:34 (ten years ago)
pretty sure if you had played me the intro to "geometric headdress" and told me it was gorguts i'd be like "hm yeah checks out"
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 3 April 2016 16:02 (ten years ago)
I would love for them to do one of those Rank Your Records columns but I worry they'd break up
In other news even in shitty-rip form this sounds really really good

I WANT MORE LEFT TURNS
― sunlick databait extremer, Sunday, 3 April 2016 17:34 (ten years ago)
idk this kinda feels like it's full of left turns. almost every track is differently surprising
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 3 April 2016 18:21 (ten years ago)
i spend most of my life listening to deftones albums tho
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 3 April 2016 18:22 (ten years ago)
only listened to it once, but structurally sounds pretty plain..verse, chorus, bridge, etc.
― sunlick databait extremer, Sunday, 3 April 2016 19:31 (ten years ago)
a lot of deftones songs obey that. but idk "xenon" is like all chorus
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 3 April 2016 19:33 (ten years ago)
god "phantom bride" is so good
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 3 April 2016 19:44 (ten years ago)
the entire closing suite of "gore"/"phantom bride"/"rubicon" rivals "passenger"/"change"/"pink maggit" imo
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 3 April 2016 19:52 (ten years ago)
yeah "Rubicon" is a great closer. Looking forward to a proper version of this.

"There's a new strange godless demon awake inside me" should be the name of the next Brand New album.

This thread is the kind of thing I love ILM for -- I remember back in their heyday secretly thinking Deftones sounded pretty tight, but was way too embarrassed to give them more of a chance, let alone admit I thought they were any good.
― human life won't become a cat (man alive), Monday, 4 April 2016 00:47 (ten years ago)
you will be a man more alive for having given The deft ones a chance
― sunlick databait extremer, Monday, 4 April 2016 00:54 (ten years ago)
Didn't realize there was anyone left still embarrassed to like them!

I was 16 at the time
I've been repping System of a Down for years and they're way more embarrassing. I've even stumped for "Down" by 311.

chino pls don't repeat lyrics. the crowd went wild 13 yrs ago ffs.
― sunlick databait extremer, Monday, 4 April 2016 02:02 (ten years ago)
lol i love that ref to "hexagram" assuming it's intentional
meanwhile this album is totally fucking amazing and somehow better than the last two imo

this thread is going to blow up tomorrow, chino. pls update the lyrics
― sunlick databait extremer, Friday, 8 April 2016 00:25 (ten years ago)
not sure if this tops KNY, tbh. love it, tho. does top DE, but that had a few moments of retread I can't forgive.
