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

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

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.

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.

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

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

"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)
lol I wish I was still getting high
― get a mop and a bucket for this Well Argued Prose (Simon H.), Thursday, 24 September 2020 21:35 (five years ago)
let me tell you: it’s great
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 September 2020 21:38 (five years ago)
it's wild that this is this good but still might not even end up in my top 5 deftones albums
― get a mop and a bucket for this Well Argued Prose (Simon H.), Thursday, 24 September 2020 23:31 (five years ago)
i think it's shot up into my top three already but who can say
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 25 September 2020 00:01 (five years ago)
it's certainly the best-sounding deftones record since the s/t
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 25 September 2020 00:04 (five years ago)
Terry Date undefeated, for sure
― get a mop and a bucket for this Well Argued Prose (Simon H.), Friday, 25 September 2020 00:09 (five years ago)
Really loving this on first listen.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Friday, 25 September 2020 12:50 (five years ago)
I can't shake the feeling that someone lopped off the actual opening track, but otherwise the sequencing is great. "Ohms" is a splendid closer.
― get a mop and a bucket for this Well Argued Prose (Simon H.), Friday, 25 September 2020 13:57 (five years ago)
really enjoing it.'pompeji' is an immeditate highlight.and am I the only one who thinks of... no doubt while listening to 'headless'?
― Nourry, Friday, 25 September 2020 14:21 (five years ago)
occurred to me this is the most well-integrated the different sides of their sound have ever been. there's never a moment where the riffs clear out for something purely meditative and gorgeous like "sextape," "entombed" etc. it's just crushing and beautiful in countervailing waves, all the time. think they had a real breakthrough here
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 25 September 2020 19:47 (five years ago)
"urantia" is the best
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 25 September 2020 19:48 (five years ago)
i forget about the synth fantasia at the end of "pompeji" every time and it's always like i tripped into a black hole
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 25 September 2020 20:05 (five years ago)
“Pompeji” into “This Link is Dead” is great.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 25 September 2020 20:06 (five years ago)
This is such a great album, I've ended up listening to it all day. One thing that stands out is that a lot of the vocal melodies (e.g. 'Urantia') seem atypically bright and hooky for them.
― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 25 September 2020 21:44 (five years ago)
the core, the heart music... deftones ohms
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 September 2020 14:58 (five years ago)
This is pretty good, but I think I prefer the new Hum.

Never mind, a second spin and it's the other way around now.

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 September 2020 17:37 (five years ago)
feels weird to say it but “genesis” is their best opener
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Sunday, 27 September 2020 15:20 (five years ago)
my honeymoon period with this one is giving me the exact feeling koi no yokan did at the time: they put out another masterpiece
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 15:48 (five years ago)
today i think "headless" is the best song. so much of this record sounds like their entire discography enfolded into single songs, and this one kinda migrates from the s/t to saturday night wrist in the verse/chorus and then slips backward into an odd time signature like all of my favorite stuff on diamond eyes
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 15:57 (five years ago)
I see Chino is still croaking into every first word whenever he sings a clean part. That pained vocal fry thing is far too grating for me to deal with even if the guitar tones and the yelling sound as good as ever
