i get that but around the fur still really brings it for me

I like/don't love these guys but I look forward to their new album.

terry date should get his own poll one day

unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Thursday, 20 August 2020 15:15 (five years ago)

got impatient and searched out the new song and holy shit

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 August 2020 15:24 (five years ago)

someone compared it to devin townsend and yeah the riff is very ocean machine

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 August 2020 15:30 (five years ago)

feeling blessed to get something like this and the new hum record in one otherwise terrible year

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 August 2020 15:31 (five years ago)

oh lol I forgot you can get around region blocking

yeah this sounds really different, melodically speaking. this was the "comically big" riff discussed in the Kerrang piece I guess? it fits.

Been listening to Gore for the last hour and the guitar solo on "Phantom Bride" is one of the cheesiest things I've ever heard not coming from an Italian symphonic prog band or an '80s AOR power ballad. I literally gasped.

but also fuck you (unperson), Thursday, 20 August 2020 16:05 (five years ago)

I think I gasped the first time I heard it as well. pretty wild that it's the only guitar solo in...their entire discography?

unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Thursday, 20 August 2020 16:08 (five years ago)

that solo rules, thank u jerry cantrell

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 August 2020 16:13 (five years ago)

relistening to KNY as it's the only one I have on vinyl; it sounds pretty good considering they crammed 51 minutes into a single LP!

count me in

Spottie, Thursday, 20 August 2020 17:06 (five years ago)

also... saturday night wrist is their best album

Spottie, Thursday, 20 August 2020 17:07 (five years ago)

I generally like them well enough but have trouble telling their records apart (even their songs tbh). Maybe a tad good monolithic and compressed for me.

oh whoops not premiering until midnight lol

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 21 August 2020 02:01 (five years ago)

xxp the “pink cellphone” outro is so damning to that album.

Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 21 August 2020 05:33 (five years ago)

great song.
also, 'koi no yokan' is their best album, imo

Nourry, Friday, 21 August 2020 10:24 (five years ago)

I have no be honest, not a fan of the new album cover. reminds me of mudvayne

unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Friday, 21 August 2020 11:20 (five years ago)

That is a Big-Ass Rock Song. Almost reminds me of Antenna-era Cave In.

but also fuck you (unperson), Friday, 21 August 2020 12:17 (five years ago)

yeah I can hear that. the major keyness is unusual for them.

unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Friday, 21 August 2020 12:28 (five years ago)

relistening to saturday night wrist the other day made me realize it's their first album that really reaches the level of space rock

could def hear an argument for it being their best; i thought it was their best when it came out, but then of course they released diamond eyes and koi no yokan both of which i like more

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 22 August 2020 13:40 (five years ago)

but like nothing on previous deftones records sounded like "beware" or "xerces"

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 22 August 2020 13:43 (five years ago)

they always sound like them but I do like ezrin's angle

unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Saturday, 22 August 2020 14:14 (five years ago)

it is sort of amazing how uniform deftones records are (10 to 12 songs, 46-52 minutes, many w the same producer) and yet no album is particularly similar to any specific other

unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Saturday, 22 August 2020 14:26 (five years ago)

always different and the same

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 22 August 2020 14:28 (five years ago)

the perfect band

i can't wait

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 18 September 2020 01:43 (five years ago)

the teaser promised at the very least a kind of dreamy intro to this

aaaah this record's gonna be so good

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 18 September 2020 01:43 (five years ago)

gonna hold out for the album, it's so close!

Simon H., Friday, 18 September 2020 02:03 (five years ago)

song is fucking incredible especially once that bridge/outro section starts

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 18 September 2020 16:37 (five years ago)

Long Stereogum review of the new album by Luke O'Neil, whose Welcome To Hell World emails I skim until I can't stand it anymore (usually 3-5 paragraphs in). Looking forward to hearing the whole album.

but also fuck you (unperson), Monday, 21 September 2020 14:13 (five years ago)

Stereogum is great for its headlines, but read any of their write-ups at your own risk; some of them are so unbelievably cringey they actually feature phrases like “this music RULES”

beamish13, Monday, 21 September 2020 14:15 (five years ago)

Stereogum is great for its headlines

strongly disagree

billstevejim, Monday, 21 September 2020 18:44 (five years ago)

stereogum is good for the genuinely admirable breadth of what it covers, mostly not for the writing

anyway, I'm stoked for this. a "very good Deftones album" would be more than good enough.

Simon H., Tuesday, 22 September 2020 01:44 (five years ago)

luke o neil is good at twitter but his writing is absolutely terrible

global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 02:54 (five years ago)

chino mentioned in the vulture interview that clams casino is one of the black stallion remixers, pretty rad

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 22 September 2020 14:26 (five years ago)

yeah, fingers crossed that quality control is exerted and it ends up as one of the 5 good remix albums

Simon H., Tuesday, 22 September 2020 14:33 (five years ago)

holy shit this album

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 September 2020 19:09 (five years ago)

it's in my hot digital hands and I will be listening 3-5x while on this evening's delivery. extremely stoked

get a mop and a bucket for this Well Argued Prose (Simon H.), Thursday, 24 September 2020 19:13 (five years ago)

"error"... that's the hit

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 September 2020 19:21 (five years ago)

so far (up to "Pompeij") this sounds like a less obviously hooky KNY. tons of weird chord progressions.

get a mop and a bucket for this Well Argued Prose (Simon H.), Thursday, 24 September 2020 21:15 (five years ago)

no idea how Chino can still shriek like that

get a mop and a bucket for this Well Argued Prose (Simon H.), Thursday, 24 September 2020 21:22 (five years ago)

yeah it’s sorta like kny cross-pollinated with the s/t. i am so about it

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 September 2020 21:25 (five years ago)

I feel like there's more double/triple tracked Chino and I support that

get a mop and a bucket for this Well Argued Prose (Simon H.), Thursday, 24 September 2020 21:26 (five years ago)

the riff that opens “urantia” is so gnarly, and then the song immediately goes dreamy. really amazing twists in these songs

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 September 2020 21:28 (five years ago)

it’s nigh-pumpkins-y????

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 September 2020 21:29 (five years ago)

“error,” again, the best song ever made

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 September 2020 21:32 (five years ago)
