no love for snw and adrenaline, he prefers the last justin bieber album.

Far away

"I remember when we started working on it, the songs were rotated again and again, and Stephen put himself in a corner, crossing his arms. I said: "Stephen, can you come play with us please?". And he remained sulking like a spoiled child, he kept: "I don't like it, I don't like it at all."

hahaha this is gold..

Metal Hammer gives Gore a 9 out of 10:



That original opening song they took off the album is called Crest. Hmmm.

Oh man what a great review. So so so pumped about this album. Still holding out on listening to Doomed User!  And i think the fact that the reviewer said that anyone expecting a track like Rocket Skates or Swerve city are in for a disappointment, just means that this album is definitely going to be a grower. I love Diamond Eyes and Koi no Yokan but they were almost instantly gratifying. The reason White Pony, Self Titled and SNW are extra special for me, is because it took days, weeks, monthsmonths to feel like I had completely unraveled the music. For me, that kind of music sticks with me a lot longer because it's such a great trip listening to their music over time and slowly understanding what the band was trying to achieve, rather than always having something that's an instant crowd pleaser. Where's the fun in that?!

Also, thanks for posting the article Inkblades. Hope they release what I read as 'Crest'. Sounds like a track that would have fit well on the Self - titled, based on the title alone. :)

Thanks for the read! Wow, dropping the first track is ballsy. I really hope that we eventually see "Crest" released on a b side and the other 4 instrumental songs make their way online.

Thanks for that, great review. I trust Stephen Hill's opinion and he's a big Deftones fan so I'm extra confident this album's going to be really good.
I could float here forever

Thanks for the read, awesome review. It does indeed sound like Gore breaks the happy-sounding direction of the last two albums, and is more diverse. I really can't wait, this is going to be awesome.

From this review, doomed user sounds the less interresting yet i love this track!!

phil for real

All the reviews have been positive so far.  Can't wait to hear this.  LEAK!

I like hearing that it is reminiscent of SNW.  That's one of my favorite albums.  Sounds like this album is unpredictable which I also really like. Lemme get that leak.

Can you please post it in better quality? For me English isn't my native language and because of it it's hard to see what written there :(

(L)MIRL is also similar to heart and wires.

Nice to see they're comparing it to SNW, perhaps because of how diverse SNW was and that each song was unique.

I hope that these high grades are high because the album is good, not because the reviewer are fanboying over the band and like to promote the new record. guys, remember when the first kny review was out and it was a 10/10? lol. it was like a medal to deftones for long and faithful service more than a review.

Not similar in sound. They're comparing the songs because they both contain elements/influences that Deftones haven't done before, so they're both very out-there and different for the band. Even so, those are great comments to make.

I don't remember the Koi No Yokan reviews, but for me the words matter more than the rating. 9/10 is awesome but is subjective. The way people describe songs is somewhat subjective, but not entirely. If a song is heavy, it's undeniably heavy, you know? If the reviewer listens to Deftones, they know whether a song sounds different and experimental from them. He says there's no Swerve City or Rocket Skates, and the descriptions sound awesome, so for me, I don't interpret it as fanboying. Well, certainly the reviewer loves the band and the album, but I don't think the review itself is blind excitement from new music.

Except that KNY pretty much was a 10/10.
