Deftones: Underrated?

conversely, “ohms” is explicitly about climate collapse

i do not think chino is infected with brain worms, obv this post may age poorly

anti-vaxxer shit is for some reason extremely seductive, i know a few people who should know better who parrot that shit and it’s hard to peel them away from it

stef’s “i’ve never gotten sick so illness must come from the mind” line is v familiar to me too lol

i think the shinoda remix rocks btw simon, he turned it into a sayonara wild hearts song (arguably this is also what purity ring did to "knife prty")

i watched you change
into a chemtrail

genuinely awesome

I was hoping for a full on Smith vocal but this is a nice enough tweak

yeah this rules

caroline polachek and chino moreno, together at last

makes sense to me, i always imagined her vox as a reference chino in that track

lmao the blanck mass remix of "elite" is fucking perfect

lmao the squarepusher remix kinda goes!!!

i will say i found the clams casino remix underwhelming and the dj shadow mix whelming but everything else here is various kind of successful i think

clams casino worked for me as a low key intro

I know there's not a lot of competition for rock remix records but this is already one of the best a few songs in

so far the approach seems to be "keep the vibe, change the sonics"

for a couple of the acts this is close to the best thing they've ever released lol

phantogram brought their A game goddamn!

this really must have been genuinely mastered like an album and not just as a discrete set of remixes

squarepusher fucking killed it! too many cooks ass remix

I love how predictably OTT the Squarepusher remix is.

it goes so many directions then returns home, awesome

I think maybe squarepusher submitted a 7 minute remix and then they added the outro

phantogram brought their A game goddamn!

yeah this remix is so good

[24 hours pass] the phantogram remix is SO GOOD

I really love this whole thing.

I struggle to think of another rock remix album put together with this much obvious care

silent alarm remixed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiY67wIOIw0

also i love this video. i mean, the original "change" is one of my favorite music videos ever

the silent alarm one is good but not as....albumlike

the Tourist remix is so great

yes! i think i recommended black stallion to tim f mostly bc i want him to hear the tourist remix

oh my god I just noticed....... "push back the square"

lol

he really did too

squarepusher pushes the square back so hard on that remix

the Shadow one has grown on me a lot, Shinoda and Trevor Jackson are my "just OK" ones

i do not understand the trevor jackson one. love the shinoda at this point

I think for the Trevor Jackson one to make sense you need to get "member of Deftones" level blazed

i'm trying so hard

salva remix of "rx queen" is like... almost unpleasant? yet i always end up liking it

haha I got pretty stoned on my first couple listens, it really jumped out at me as being, after the intro, three three-song "suites" (active trio, chill trio, active trio) with squarepusher as the fireworks at the end

speaking of stoned I wonder if they tried calling dean blunt

just spun Ohms. Awesomeeeee

really loving Pittura Infamante atm

that's sick!

I want full boutique remix versions of all the albums now tbh

I just barely talked myself out of $20 for a two-track picture disc on RSD. How's the Arca mix on the flip side?

the visuals on the youtube made the rest of this thread trip out to my eyes briefly!

Is their current US tour w/ Gojira on or not? I've seen conflicting reports.
