Deftones: Underrated?

the part that says take me in face the lies?

btw writhe clearly now chino's favorite word. also he like shapes.

shapes and colors are all i see

the part that says take me in face the lies?

and yes

I think "Acid Hologram" is my favorite, such a great slow churning groove

first reaction is that i badly want paramore to do a cover of "phantom bride."

yes to acid hologram. you are my deftones brother, simon. brad you are still fam, maybe a first cousin cause i'm not feeling rubicon as much as you are. you can still come over for xmas and shit, tho.

why have paramore do a cover when deftones already did it? can't get any better.

hello i like deftones a lot too

though i don't understand the hate for back to school, it's a good song

for what's basically a joke song they recorded under duress it's pretty great

also for whatever reason i couldn't get on with koi no yoken. this thread is making me wish i hadn't passed it on, feel like, you know, i might have been the problem.

you were the problem, but you can now be the solution

7.8 in pitchfork...it's happening

COACHELLA HERE WE COME

yep, took a listen to KNY again on spotify and i have officially dropped the ball.

The narrative laid out in that review is...disputable.

Also at least three major reviews have gone with the "beauty and brutality" theme. There's gotta be another way to describe what they do.

Wow, Cohen is really just a staggeringly bad writer, isn't he?

lol i just watched the "prayers/triangles" video and immediately wanted to hear "acid hologram" after it. ofc it's a very romantic association ("it's a real ALBUM man") but it's sort of nice that i can't imagine these songs isolated from each other

it took about 15 listens but "Hearts/Wires" just clicked for me

i saw pictures of deftones on pitchfork this morning and one of them looks like guy fieri

chino dyed his hair blonde

jeez what a good band

wow, no one looks good in that video

i want to remember you all as you were

i'm liking the new record a lot though

this is without a doubt one of the more confusing things i have seen today

First time hearing this band - "prayers" - thought this is some mid 90s alt rock I could get behind - then was surprised to see them classified as metal

"Prayers" reminds of hum's album downward is heavenward

Chino at least is on record citing Hum as a key influence

this is far bettr than hum to my ears. also, don't want to wait another 3 yrs for the next one.

does anyone have gore on vinyl? how is the sound quality? the digital version i have is brutally clipped and squashed. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/108870 implies that the vinyl is much better but i know there's some weirdness with measuring dynamics from a vinyl rip.

the Chelsea Wolfe+Chino side project I just learned existed has a new song and it's pretty good!

My god the dia de los deftones lineup is amazing, if they do it again next year I might have to go

well so much for that lol

anyway, big new interview in Kerrang re: the new album, fair bit of detail in there. the album is out....soon, apparently.

“We’ve always made Terry quit,” chuckles Abe. “It’s kind of our thing. We make him quit every record. First record? He quit. Second record and White Pony? He quit. Self-titled? He quit. And this one? He almost quit! He’s like a dad… And you don’t want to piss dad off. We can make his glasses fog up so quick. He bites his lip, his glasses get steamy, and we know we’re at that point! There’s always that goal of, ‘Let’s make ol’ TD quit!’ A lot of times he would just quit to get us on our toes.”

If it’s true that no producer has loyally suffered more at the hands of what Abe jokes is Deftones’ ability to “excel at lagging” than Terry Date, it’s also true that no producer has harnessed the beauty and fury of Deftones’ music like him. Their latest outing is a testament to this.

Despite Abe’s jokes, Deftones clearly put the work in: a band hyper-focused on delivering an album to fall in love with, not just one epic lead single. Recorded at LA’s Henson and Seattle’s Trainwreck Studios, it was fuelled, Abe says, with the usual stimulants of “coffee, juice, good beer, laughter, a little piss’n’vinegar, but a lot less tequila”. Together with Date – who is constantly praised by Abe and Chino throughout the conversation – they worked on 12 tracks, with 10 making the final cut.

“A lot of bands say, ‘We wrote 6,000 songs for this record and chiseled it down for you, the fan!’” jabs Abe, playfully. “You didn’t write 6,000 fucking songs, man!”

The ones they did, they paid forensic attention to. The opening track, for instance, which begins with a gorgeous synth passage from Frank, had a complete overhaul. The screamed vocals you will hear were first demoed at Chino’s house over Christmas when he decided he didn’t like his initial approach on the song as it had already been recorded. Picture this: Chino – a preternaturally gifted vocalist – demoing his new take by whispering his screams into the mic so as not to disturb the people in his home. Stunning moments mount up: one song starts with a bassline so rapid Sergio Vega’s left hand probably has no fingerprints left.

It's called Ohms and it comes out on 09/25 :)

omg

ohmgs

I know it's greedy but I would also still very much like a Saudade album

1. Genesis
2. Ceremony
3. Urantia
4. Errorr
5. The Spell of Mathematics
6. Pompeji
7. This Link Is Dead
8. Radiant City
9. Headless
10. Ohms

a clip of "Ohms" is out there. sounds big!

they always kill the song title game

honestly looks like they came from the deftones song title generator but I'm not mad about it

what's the best route from swerve city to radiant city

Xxp

I misread “Suadade” as Sade and immediately wanted that album to exist

i have no idea what saudade is but immediately assumed it was the name of the project where deftones + jonah matranga cover sade songs and now i refuse to correct myself

mentioned in the last revive, it's a chelsea wolfe + chino project

"ohms" the song out imminently

oh i would totally dig a chelsea wolfe/chino record

time to cry about my favorite band releasing a new record
