It's going to be their best album yet. At least from the Sergio era. I'm pretty confident

Agreed, from the Sergio era. Based on my own personal musical preferences, of course. Sounds like it ticks all the boxes in my book.

You make a lot of great points, especially about how when they make heavy music now, it's mostly for fun and to add another layer into it. They're in a better place now, and I think making Diamond Eyes probably helped. They could've used the emotions they were going through to dwell on the sadness and worry, and end up making another self-titled album. But at what cost to their own mental health and happiness? Probably a big one. So they chose to put the 'dark, experimental' album they'd been working on on hold, and make something that was uplifting and therapeutic for them. Regardless of any of our opinions of that album, it was obviously good for them. So now they're in a better place, that darkness doesn't punch you in the core like it used to, because it's more artistic than raw expression. But that's cool, because they're great musicians, and they can capture those feelings awesomely

As hard as it is for them to revisit the past, though, they do that with any song, so I think they should at least try. Like you said, the authenticity will never be there like it was back then, but how incredible was it when they played Riviere??? You were there when they played Combat, right? Even if they made some mistakes or it wasn't perfect, they did that, and everyone at that show got to witness that song being played. That's an amazing memory. So, authentic darkness or not, it's a treat when they decide to give it a go.

I'm confident that Gore will be their best album for me personally, at least for the Sergio era.

To say it will be the best album out of all 8, and to say it will be the best one out of 3 is a hell of a difference. a big jump there.
you can say "smile is the best deftones song to me, at least top 3"
you don't say "smile is the best deftones song to me, at least top 50"

[illthrowROCKS@U]

I'm with them.  I have this sneaking suspicion that Gore will be my favorite Deftones album since S/T.

[pelican fly]

Yup. I think the new record will be a breath of fresh air from what they have been doing the last 2 albums.

Well, you called me out on my bullshit. But if I said it was going to be their best album, period, (which I actually think it's going to be), there would habe been a hell of a shitstorm, so I played it safe by saying "Sergio Era"

[from_musings]

Yes but playing it safe in a strange way. basically what you're saying is "gore will be the best shit they ever released in their entire career. or at least it will be better than the last two albums" it's such a weird disclaimer to throw in at the last second.

it's like saying "guys tonight i will fuck one girl at the preparty, one in the club's toilet, and then fuck one in the cab home before i pass out.just watch me. That, or at least i will get a girl's telephone number."    ??

i'm a bit afraid ppl are getting their hopes up too much, i saw a lot of people talking about how kny would be "the best shit ever" but i never saw those ppl after the release around here with the "i told you so" . hype is a motherfucker

Well, I can't speak for any of those other people, but personally I never had this much of an expectation for either KNY or DE.

The difference is that what everyone is saying about the album doesn't sound like what was said about the last two.

[from_musings]

that's  true. i remain cautiously optimistic

Excellent post, pretty much totally agree.

there is no such thing as the sergio era

[from_musings]

"there is no such thing as direction in music"
"pink cellphone isn't a song"
"there is no such thing as the sergio era"

I'm a bit curious of your next "there is no such thing as"-post, i'll admit
