[Pndi]

[gwenudo]

Why hasnt my pre order shipped yet? :/ am i the only one? I better get it tuesday..

[from_musings]

Am I the only one that keeps refreshing webpages, like Facebook etc. because I've gotten so used to refreshing pages in anticipation for the leak?

I wasnt doing that for the leak, I was expecting to come online and see everything had exploded with the news of the leak (which it did). See what you all did? You've destroyed your minds haha.

do you still dream about this place at night? dreaming about reading through bullshit in the kny thread, or has it stopped

When it is converted to cd format for burning, will it make a difference if it is 128kpbs mp3 or 320?

It wasnt even bullshit, I dreamt I was reading through 50 pages of ppl tlking about their opinions of the new album (which I have been doing). It's stopped now, I think I was just getting too excited.

That, I'm not too sure about? But I think the quality the MP3 is will remain the same once converted to a cd..
Once its a low quality, you can't really make it a better quality if you know what I mean?
Kinda like if you crumple up a piece of paper, you can't make it perfect again.

[bewareofrats]

Yeah.  I found a 320 one so all's good.

Hey guys. One of my first times posting, but just wanted to throw in my two cents on my "most amazing" to "still awesome but lesser" tracks...

Top to bottom:
Goon Squad
What Happened to You
Romantic Dreams
Swerve City
Entombed
Rosemary
Tempest
Gauze
Poltergeist
Leathers
Graphic Nature

Speaking in regards to my top two, Goon Squad and What Happened to You?, I honestly believe that they have some of the most refreshing and unexplored Deftones choruses that I have ever heard. Not sure if my list was, at least partially, biased by the fact that I am a drummer and the rhythm section of the top tracks are ridiculously pretty, but I stand by the list.

Just my personal assessment.

PS - Romantic Dreams' drums are the sexiest I have heard from him in years. Not that he could do any wrong before, because Abe (to pull a quote from another place) is a national fucking treasure!

[illthrowROCKS@U]

I've been thinking that the cover kinda looks like the laser eye room from the first Resident Evil movie...  Or am I crazy?

Edit: Well not necessarily "looks like," but it just reminds me of it...

[whiskeyandwine]

yes, Koi No Yokan is a fucking masterpiece.  Deftones have written their own 'Disintegration' or 'Violator', if you know what I mean.  this is their atmospheric magnum opus.

This is precisely what I was thinking.  An entry into their catalog that is a departure from their previous efforts, yet somehow familiar; redefining the band itself and the genre.

Well to be fair, this is Deftones we're talking about here.  They reinvent themselves every album!

[Jerry_Curls]

And then there are people that complain how they don't make tracks like on ATF or S/T...

STFU! ATF was 15 years ago and S/T was a decade ago! Time for some new sounds!!!!!

Thank you! Glad someone said it. It's like the people who say those things, don't realize the reason they like Deftones to begin with is because they constantly reinvent themselves with each album and keep you guessing.

Poltergeist absolutely owns me right now! Possibly their best hard song in my opinion. Love to hear it back to back with Rocket Skates at a Concert. Imagine.

Goon Squad kicking some Major ass to. The Riff Reminds me of stone temple pilots.

Entombed scaring the living shit out of me. Drawing out so much undealt with sadness and fear/vulnerability. Song puts me to tears. Going to have to put that song on skip until i figure out what the problem is.

My current favorite albums.
ATF
KNY
S/T
DE
Adrenaline
White Pony
SNW

[ToneDef]

Still feeling my way around this beast. It's a fantastic album. Gauze is the highlight for me right now though. There are still flashes of this record that are hamburger though, but the vast majority is fucking steak.

[optemoz]

So now that KNY leaked and everyone got a taste, did the front runners that were here just for the leak disperse?

If you did, you sure as hell aren't a real deftones fan.

[Vesanic]

Poltergeist lines "I let you pretend" and "I loved you to death" sound a lot like Rocket Skates "You're red soaking wet".
