Wtf, it's like Rats with a different chorus....ummmm...

They just need to be sat down and strapped to chairs while the first 3 albums are blasted at them for 3 days straight so they can maybe pick up the sound they should still be trying for....oh and umm, a new singer (haha sorry Chino, you're just not the same anymore)...

Ughhh and that SCREAM he tries to do still!!! Jeez stopppp

yo,
I am disappointed by this song, it has the same style like RATS on SNW and thats boring to listen..., I was expecting totaly  an other sound, most of all I am missing is the power of chinos voice like 2003, thats sad, that was make deftones meant to me. But that was just one song, I hope the other songs are totally different.

cheers

No no no They lost it after S/T...that is one of my favorite albums, you can sit there and be all "ohhh i want White Pony part 2" i didnt say that this was the best thing ive ever heard or that they have ever done. But im just saving judgement till i hear the album version. But im prayin that they dont turn into Korn. But hey at least deftones have put out more Good albums than shitty ones well not shitty more like uninspired...its 4-1

Maybe, but any song off SNW still sucks compared to any other song on any album prior to SNW...and you fucking KNOW it...no matter what anyone says. They just lost it after WP....no room for argument. SNW just doesn't have one ounce of the soul or feeling or vibe of the first 3 albums, and you can't say anything to change that.

you do realize that's just YOUR opinion right?

i think SNW is better than s/t

Back then (before 2000), chinos screams had so much power behind them. But i dont complain. Chino blew his voice for the fans, makin sure they got a good show. and he did that for 11+ years...and he is still doing it...so his voice may not be the same, but it is by no strech of the imagination shitty

Are you serious? One listen to each can answer that: The literal sound of the guitar, the songs themselves, Chino's voice which used to be amazing and point-on and melodic, the type and way of singing, the originality and awesomeness of the lyrics, the song titles (lol), ETC...

Yes, I'm serious.  I guess you need Chino to stop singing, Stef to pick up his 6 again, and for Terry to record with equipment circa 1997.  I do wish they'd go more in the direction of the S/T album though, cause I was really disappointed with most of SNW.

Post by: Mad Maynard on Sep 20, 2008, 06:46 PM
 To say that this song is no good because "it doesn't retain the deftones sound", and then go on to praise Adrenaline, ATF, and WP, makes no sense. WP sounds very different than Adrenaline, so they didn't "retain the same sound" on that either. The Deftones "sound" is still in progress; they're still evolving and culturing their sound. Making the same album is redundant and a waste of time. At least when bands evolve you are offered more choices and styles to choose from; however, if they make the same album over and over you are left with no choice as to what you listen to. You always have the option to just go back and listen to the first three albums if you don't enjoy the new stuff.

This new recording is much better. It almost sounds like ATF in some points. Here's hoping for a really hard record, but of course with the more emotional stuff from White Pony. I'm not asking for something the same as their previous records, but it really sounds like it could also be on ATF. The energy, you know.

Kind of disappointed by the song.  The band keeps saying they're going to get more progressive but they only have glimmers of this on each successive album.  I can dig straight forward songs, but like others have said, it sounds a lot like a few of their other songs, which has also been a problem of theirs (writing songs that sound too similar).  In my opinion, the songs that this sounds like (Rapture, Rats, and to a lesser extent Teething) were a lot more progressive in their composition.  I do find the chorus to be superior to Rapture and Rats however.

I'm hoping the rest of the album sounds like they put a lot more work into it.  Otherwise, I think the short writing time will mean lackluster songs.

I don't mind at all if this sounds like Rats!, "When Girls Telephone Boys" was extremely similar to "Elite" yet WGTB is far superior and one of deftones greatest songs.
Title: Re: New song Melanie!
Post by: wither-I on Sep 22, 2008, 04:51 PM
i think the song is good. catchy and short.

i remembered when they released FM it was better live than on that disc.

hopefully chino is just the one big paradox he portrays and when he says, "this is our BEST album yet"! -(and then turns out its just iiiiiight....)

so im thinking in dispose, -chino said in that interview on the other thread, when asked the question, "do you think this will be the best deftones record yet?" , and then he replied, "i dunno... maybe..... i havent really sat back and gathered it all in full"(or whtever he said exactly), -my prediction is that the album will be the best, and since melanie isnt "that" great live, that it will be fucking awesome on the album version unlike the miscarriage of FM and it's lesser formed twin Rats...rats....rats......

so in adding this, i say the album will prob reside along white pony better than SNW when speaking of a "dynamic/diverse" and "experimental" album.

i still have faith this album will top snw and be more fluid and conceptually consistent.

Around The Fur = Adrenaline part 2 with more melodic songs
Deftones (ST) = White Pony wannabe (Experimental side of White Pony)
Eros = definitely SNW part 2 (Melanie says it all)

just to be clear, snw wasnt a very hard record. when i think of snw i think more of the shitty songs like cherry waves, mein,beware,xerces etc, soft melodic stuff written by chino. this new song isnt like most of the songs on snw just maybe 2 songs so i think its wrong to call it typical snw-stuff

CAN'T....STAND....what occurs at 00:17 and 1:08 arrrghhhhh stoppp what is that? Doing that on SNW/at every show last year was enough.

Otherwise..the song has grown on me a little since I last dissed it in this thread lol. Certainly no classic Tones material and the offbeat vocal parts of the chorus are a little ehh but I like the progressively higher and higher part after the chorus...kinda cool. Definitely does have the feel of Rats and Rapture tho which never held my interest for too long. I want to give this album a chance though before being disappointed.

All I know is sometimes I really can love some of SNW even though I overall am a little disappointed with it at times. Like for instance my head unit shuffled to Xerces on my iPod in my car just before and I turned it up (I have 2 Rockford 10"s in a ported box/Alpine HU) and not only does it sound sick as fuck but it's hard to believe that such heart-felt vocals and lyrics could come from someone like Chino...it really does affect your emotions. And the music itself in the song is so ridiculously good too, such a perfect match with the singing. I have to give it up for that song really. Sometimes I have to go back and listen to songs that I forget about to remember how well-made they really are. The song really does hit and affect me just as much as Mascara always does if not more.

beware
hite
combat
cherry
kimdracula
riviere
rats

Could anyone tell me which one of these song sucks ??
What kind of Deftones listener says that SNW or ''melanie'' sucks?...
These are all came by genius musical mind..and absolutely they are being more proffeisional on all next album.
If another SNW coming oh thank you god.
To me 'Melanie' seems better than rapture and rats. Cuz the include and the concept of rats and rapture is too separate and short. But this one is good.


My fav album is ATF cuz of metal gears with melodic chorus, voices.
On SNW;
I didnt like Xerces song cuz it is like Celine Dion thing,i think chino would do it in Team Sleep (not for bad)
I didnt like Mein, i think its too simple
I like uuudddlll ( :)) but it shouldnt be in the album
I didnt like rapture cuz it include so much simple horror sounds on chorous,it wasnt necessary, but the begining of the song is great

Eros seems like to be the best album of 2007-2008-2009..Look at the rock bands, tell me who made a great album on this year
But deftones always makes the songs will never die.

Also Chinos screams is not like old days thats what i like. I mean yeah when we were Adrenaline it was great to hear scream, but now with deftones we have more melancoli more soft soul and chino express that good (i am not saying dont scream,i mean dont wanna hear screams on 7 tracks like adrenalin or atf)

so a band cant evolve? if you listen to their albums in order, those songs (and sounds) make sense. deftones have been turning into a heavy ambient band ever since ATF imo. sure they still have rckers, but i think the next album is going to be a lot like snw in regards to ambience

Anyone saying they don't like SNW I don't agree with. Along with this new song, it sounds wicked a hell.

Just like any band, they have evolved and embraced a new sound, you've still got your raw as hell deftones with a little bit of art mixed in (sorry stupid description, but that's what I think).

Sure, I think they made mistakes with their singles (Hite was good but not single material, mein was just an average song), but regrardless a great album.

Eros is going to be great, chino is focusing on singing and lyrics this time, along with his "newish" scream, so that's gotta be good for something.

i kind of desagree, it may sound similiar cause of the guitar figures, pattern signatures and song structure, but if you try to embrace it well youll notice its uniqueness. im so obsessed with the new song, that ive been taking notice of the drumm pattern and guitar signatures and its quite freaking awesome, making this arguably the most challenging technical execution of any deftones songs to date.

and that is badass.

first time and the fifth time hearing "melanie" sounded same - rats/rapture mash up aka not so good and nothing new.

talking about snw should be happing on a proper thread, come on guys.

dont get me wrong though, i love snw but this bitch is about MELANIEEE


yeah but melanie = rats/rapture


duh :P

i kind of desagree, it may sound similiar cause of the guitar figures, pattern signatures and song structure, but if you try to embrace it well youll notice its uniqueness. im so obsessed with the new song, that ive been taking notice of the drumm pattern and guitar signatures and its quite freaking awesome, making this arguably the most challenging technical execution of any deftones songs to date.

and that is badass.


Actually, the song structure is the one thing Melanie doesn't have in common with Rats and Rapture.  Melanie is much simpler.  They really moved forward with unorthodox song structures on SNW but it appears they're going backwards if the rest of the songs are as straight forward as Melanie.

you think you are smarter than everyone

Melanie is a good song and that makes you an idiot, sorry..
Do all of you have a version that is not that distorted ass live version they played?  It's the only thing I have heard.  If you guys are really ready to sit here and try to have a conversation about the song structure and wether it is a good song or not, and if I'm and idiot for not liking it ( god you're a tool ) then you are all pretty fucked up.  There is no way you are getting all this from that distorted piece of shit.  I wan't the clean studio version, or stfu

I mean, I thought it sounded like shit on the shitty recording.  But in the back of my mind I keep telling myself that maybe it will be a good song when I hear it properly.  A lot of you seem to be convinced that this song is already the shit.

Oh, and rock n frost.  Go back through this thread from page 1.  I'm pretty sure you are in the minority for liking this song.

I really like it.   Even tho I've not heard studio quality yet...   I have it on my IPod and I love walkin to this song.    Makes me very excited to hear the album in it's entirety.

You don't need a good version of a song to figure out its structure.  Melanie has a very typical structure (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus).  Whereas Rats and Rapture are all over the place.  Unorthodox song structures are a signature of "progressive" music.  The Deftones have been claiming for years that they were going to get more complex.  On SNW they made their biggest leap in technical song writing.  But, if all of the songs on Eros are as simple as Melanie, then they've taken a step back.

we could clear that up right now, i agree with the song structure argument, but this song, as for instrumental technical execution (as for the drumms and guitar departments acounts) steps up big time. that shit steph is doing, flirts with polyrithmic figures.

The Deftones have shown that they're more than capable of writing complex songs.  And, they keep saying they're going to get more complex with their craft.  SNW had glimpses of that, but if all of the songs are as simple as Melanie then they will be moving backwards.

I have nothing against simple songs, I think the Deftones are great at what they do, I would just like to see more out of them.  Really, I'm just hoping they don't get as lazy with this record as they did with S/T.

You are talking about ''melanie is not a good song'' but hell yeah you only heard it on live. So why cant i think ''its a good song''

No.  That is just an expression.  Saying something is key is like saying it is exactly what is needed.  So sometimes simplicity is perfect.

Maybe, but any song off SNW still sucks compared to any other song on any album prior to SNW...and you fucking KNOW it...no matter what anyone says. They just lost it after WP....no room for argument. SNW just doesn't have one ounce of the soul or feeling or vibe of the first 3 albums (also S/T for the most part), and you can't say anything to

Wow this guy's a dick. I like SNW more than WP, in fact I'd put WP second to LAST of all their albums (just barely beating out DE).  more than Adrenaline, and some days more than ATF. Don't be a fucking asshole and act like your opinion is any more valid than anyone else. S/T was classic too, some of their best stuff on there and SNW.

I know this was said like 3 years ago but I couldn't help but call this guy out on his douchbaggery..

And to add to your post:
SNW is wayy better than Selftitled. Let's face it Stephen is a good writer but without chino's input, the songs dont sound complete, dont have many melodies. In terms of technical writing and song structures SNW is one of their best. For your info, WP is when Chino started taking more control of the writing process which is basically a repeat on SNW.
In reference of soul and feelings, haha what can I say, the lyrics don't need interpretation, the songs themselves are screaming emotions. Please go back and listen to the record again.

Naw don't get me wrong bro, I love WP and The Boys Republic is quite possibly one of their best songs ever. I just like the other albums better :P My least favorite Deftones album is still better than 80% of all the other shit out there. Part of it is because it's the one everyone knows too, I can be a little contrarian at times.

ATF is really the album on which Deftones matured, honed, developed and perfected their sound.
On Adrenaline it sounds like they will still very much discovering themselves - it doesn't sound like a fully developed album (don't get me wrong, it's still brilliant as every Deftones album thus far has been)

I can't go back to adrenaline, after feeling the difference in production.
I think it should be remastered

I do agree with the drop in complexity of riffs (see: Minus blindfold, Root, Birthmark vs the fairly straightforwardness of MOS, BQAD, Title track). But lyrically and vocally I think they made a giant step forward. Also, of course the production value was much greater in ATF.

The rawness and aggression are great but the vocals, I can't listen to them anymore after hearing ATF, WP and SNW. Indeed Chino was young but Terry Date compressed his vocals and its just not that enjoyable anymore.

Absolutely, it all boils down to which is more important to you.. Lyrics and vocals, or riffs.

And if you're a drumbeat kinda guy, they're all gold. Let's be honest, Abe is clearly the best "musician" of them all. I mean I would take the simplicity of Steph's riffs over some complex Metallica shit any day but.. Damn Abe is just fucking fantastic, everything else is pretty easy to replicate.

Abe can be way better, I expect more from him Infact, I expect more from Steph because I love listening to riffs in general but I think he's getting a little too comfortable in his "laziness" zone. Some songs are great but they're not like the earlier albums where you'll hear different melodies and riffs. He does change but very little now.
Apparently Steph said he wants to take it to the next level but Abe isn't ready? I think deftones should really "crack the whip" on this new album. They can still go old school and throw their new school elements in. Maybe they cracked it on Eros but let's see
