Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[iceache]

It becomes mess when the song is compressed into a shitty mp3. and the fact you can't hear the difference between a CD and an mp3 is a little bit silly.

Doesn't become a mess when compressed to mp3.. maybe if its 128kbit MP3. but anything @ 300kbit is pretty good. And that's not the mess of sound I was talking about.

Yes I know what you meant about the loudness war. It's nothing new. Heavy Metal acts get compressed to shit at the mastering stage. It's the norm for that type of genre. it's got to be LOUD. Just like certain dance genres. Now you wanna take that already compressed to shit song on your CD, and you want to compress it AGAIN into an MP3? I just don't get it...

[Deftones-argentina]

Anyway to apport to the discussion, I did my test and I could recognize loss up to 192 kbps comparing against wav tracks. Over there I couldn't hear anything valuable.

Not quite the same compression.

Also.. Anyone hear the voice in the Rocket Skates teaser @ 25 seconds?

i've always had a strong preference for good sound quality which is why i would take cd's over mp3's any day. most people just don't notice but i can't stand the kind of digital crashing sound that you get from anything loud. its the worst with cymbals. that's just me, i'm a big stickler for sound quality. my girlfriend calls me out on being a nerd about it all the time. i have to have top of the line sound quality and i love to hear every aspect of a song. background atmosphere is nice.

nice...

its 19..last 4 days for a new deftones song..
(actually its not a big deal, we heard it anyways..

[ToneDef]

yeah CD for sure.

Despite it being the norm, I hate the faceless and disposable crap that is MP3.

I hope the artwork/package is really cool on this.

It's discussed endlessly, but you're right. A file on a computer isn't the same as purchasing an actual product, putting the CD in and checking out the artwork in your hands as you listen for the first time. It sets the mood.

Imagine if s/t had really bright, white artwork rather than blacks, roses and skulls.. You think the album would have maybe came across as less dark? It sets the tone for me. Not that it being dark is a bad thing, personally. I love that record. I been blasting it in the car lately.

the money we pay for the records goes to the label and not to the Tones.

but I dont care I will buy it anyways just to have it.
and it's always somewhat of a way to make labels keep putting stuff out for bands and supporting them.
I just think it's a pity because we are putting our money in and labels do not promote or give support to band as they should do. the label should promote them big time!
labels nowdays are are big time bloodsuckers who just care about money!
I know what what I'm saying may sound cynical because I will end buying the record, but we are giving money just to the label and not to the Deftones.
Unless they sell a huge amount of records all the money we are giving is going to the labels.
but It's the way we have to show we care for the Deftones and besides we also got the live shows!so lets keep supporting them anyway we can!!!even if that includes giving money to the bloodsuckers!(plus I wanna have the physical release with me anyway's)

we should start some movement!!like everytime some of us fans buy a record from the tones we should write demanding the labels to give the money to the Deftones.

I'm a bit drunk...

not to nitpick, but shouldn't this be a different thread?
