Am I the only the one who's getting a Glassjaw - Jesus Glue vibe from Gauze?

okay, so i caved in because i'm human

i like it. swerve city, romantic dreams, leathers, graphic nature are all solid tracks

winner here is goon squad. it's a song that is pure deftones. this is their sound. "BUT PENICSKE DEY DONT HAVE A SOUND!!!.". bullshit, this is deftones. if you don't like this track, you don't like this band and you can go suck a duck

rosemary, apart from that stupid ass chugga chugga near the end, is lovely.

some stinkers. entombed and what happened to you are bland and boring, too much diamond eyes influence there

the other songs might grow on me more but right now i don't really care for them

chino often doesn't sound good. tries too much. there used to be a concrete wall behind his voice, that wall is now a thin layer of paper. that's too bad because like vesanic said, diamond eyes had this as well and it's one of the reasons that i dislike that album so much. it's also the reason why i can appreciate stuff like crosses. chino's way more dynamic with his ever-changing voice there. on koi no yokan it's mostly SHOUTING SHOUTING SHOUTING which is too bad. slow down old man. be patient. seduce us with that voice. don't shout our pants off and fuck our ass.

so yeah, i'm pretty pleased with this. to me it's another proof that diamond eyes is a throwaway album. if they had released this instead of DE two years ago i would've liked it an appreciated it more.

i also can't help but wonder how this would sound if terry date had produced it.

I don't at all. Plus, Jesus Glue is about a thousand times better, in my opinion.

Now I agree with you both Electron§ and TheShade1989.

I'm just really tired to hear "wooo this is the best they ever did ! masterpieceeee !" like for DE two years ago.
That is not true. Objectively, ATF, WP and ST were their masterpieces.
I love Adrenaline.
I love SNW.
I love DE too even if it's their weakest for me.

I just don't like people screaming to masterpieces just because it's new or when they're like everything just because it's about Deftones.

It's my favorite band too but I wanna stay aware of what I like or not when a new album comes out.

Sorry for my english, trying my best.

This. All of this. Especially that.

Everyone seems to be very quick to judge this album as oh-so-perfect. Let's just see how well it fares over time.

Ladies and Gentlemen from Sacramento, California.......!!!

DEFTONES !!!!!

napa/modesto in house

Yo! Napa/Sonoma up in here!

I take back what I said about not seeing the Gauze/Jesus Glue link; I can definitely see it in the verses. Further than that, I'm not sure. Jesus Glue >>>>>>>>>>> Gauze, still.

Gauze is the best song on the album for me. I didn't like anything else at first listen.

1. Too many choruses I don't even listen to music like this.

2. Thin voice, accompanied by thick guitars and sounds =

3. His voice (again) is like higher in pitch or something.

4. It's just not for me

That being said, I won't bash others about their opinion (unlike some people here) It's just that since they have a lot of albums I prefer ones from the past.

It's bound to happen to any band with albums like Deftones have and the different sounds.

The only thing though that has been a mainstay that is gone now, is chino's vocal style the whispery almost indecipherable moaning that made Deftones for me.

That is disappointing, but the band is top notch as always.

I just think that Chino could have experimented more with different tones and pitches and such. The music changes yet Chino doesn't.

It's too formulaic for me to get into.

I'd recommend Gauze to a Deftones fan of older material.

I'd give it a 6/10

I think that "Graphic Nature" has a great Depeche Mode influence...maybe more if the distorsion of the guitar was tuned just a little bit softer...

Its crazy Stef has become the Rhythm guitarist  in Deftones

hmm... I still haven't listened to this album yet. I'm  trying to lower my expectations so I can be pleasantly surprised if anything. Can I ask you what your say, top 5 deftones tracks are xToxin ? Off any album.

Just so I can get a sense whether our tastes are compatible. Based off the tracks I have heard and DE i'd agree on the vocals though. I try not to let that affect my opinion though, and just take it as progression of the band. Did you like Rosemary ? Cos I love that track.

It'd be pointless to do that man. You will either like it or you won't, I guess. Just have to wait and see.

Officially the favorite words of Chino...

He seems to have a thing for 'taste', too.

hell no. steph shaped the song, like an outline on drawing, and chino just filling it with colors.

I think Poltergeist is becoming one of my favourite deftones songs ever. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
