Poltergeist is....

[from_musings]

i like it too, but why not a scream only at that one suggested time, mix it up a little

[TheShade1989]

I love the song, one of my favorites frm the album, and it woulda been cool if he did scream the 'wild' parts like he did live. Most of all though, I like the tone of it, that it has this playful kinda vibe to it. It makes a change frm the overly-sad, overly-happy sounding music they've been making a lot of recently. Has a slightly older feel to it because of it (not musically, just the vibe I get frm it).

most gave a shit about the earlier bootleg performances.

i was watching y'all

i aint buying this whole "i love it now" charade.

The studio version changed my perspective completely for the song. Something about the voice effects and the music in the final version just sound great.

Totally agreed

[Slacker]

thats something hipsters would say. fuck that.

[DeftonesNZ]

I think it's reasonable for someone to not initially like the live version but then like the studio one, I doubt it can totally reverse someone's opinion like someone's not going to think it's absolute shit and then fall in love with it but I think it can elevate the song a bit with all the subtle nuisances that are drowned out live, especially with Frank who is often overwhelmed by the others live.

I love the old skool dub echo effects on Chino's vocals.

Yes this is what gets me I think. Reminds me alot of effects on his voice in older, classic Deftones songs.

[DJR]

Poltergeist is a top tune!...i still prefer Goon Squad off KNY though

[bewareofrats]

Yeah, the effects on Chino's vox are well done on this album.  Like this song, What Happened to You, Graphic Nature, etc.

thats something hipsters would say. fuck that.

I'm pretty sure it's the opposite... a "hipster" would say something more like:

"Yeah I liked it before there was a studio version."
   OR
"Nah, I don't like that song.. it's too popular."
   OR
"thats something hipsters would say. fuck that."

  Get the point?

[Slacker]

niggas please,

with deftones, shit rocks or it just does not.

if you can't really tell from the get go. whatever.

i'm not saying albums or music can't grow on you. it can, and it will.

i'm just saying you gotta know your shit, especially when it comes to deftones.

Great tune

Poltergeist is geil.
