Koi No Yokan thread

He's not. He's just sincere. I feel your feels, bro. WHTY? is not their best song at all. It's not even a matter of opinion. What the fuck are you on, for fuck's sake.

When every post has something negative it sure feels that way.  No one claimed is was their best song.  And yes, it is a matter of opinion.  For fuck's sake.

iceache claimed it. Their catalogue is way too vast and full of different directions you can't really say a song as simple as What Happened To You? is their best, can you? Whatever...

He should of just said it was his favourite there are lots of contenders for Deftones best song so many infact that it is too hard to pick one but even still What happened to you? wouldn't be in my list that being said i like it alot but i don't think it's a contender for best song

What Ves said. Even saying that WHTY is their best closer, as someone has, is absolutely ridiculous. I'm all for opinions, but it gets to a point where it's just plain wrong. The song is lacking in many, many aspects--the concept is nice enough, but it's unfinished. I'm waiting for it to absolutely explode towards the end, à la Pink Maggit, but it doesn't. It feels like the ending is trying to do a bit of a Rivière, but it falls so, so short. I wish I could explain that better, but fuck that, I have better things to do with my night.

Also, saying that every post here has something negative to say is pure bullshit. In fact, most posts praise the song and the rest of the album. I don't entirely agree with the praise, but I've tried to keep my mouth shut for now as I know there's always the initial excitement of "omg nu dftnz albem waow".

What's Everybody's fav. track on Koi No Yokan or at least the one that hits home with you the most and why? people that are not keen about the album, isn't there at least one track that you enjoy?

My go to track from the album is Romantic Dreams because its so different and weird. I love the time signature changes and temp changes. Chorus sounds epic and makes me feel like im being shot into space. there's a lot of dynamics in this song. Me being a drummer I enjoy Abes drumming for this track.

Poltergeist lurks around for the number 1 spot sometimes. depends on my mood or if I'm heavily medicated Lol!

They all keep alternating for me at the moment, but I think the one track that's been most consistently my favourite is Gauze. I just think it really shows their heavy/melodic dynamic to such an amazing effect. The riff is brutal but the chorus is one of their most soaring and epic ever. Also love the groove on the versus.

My favorites are Goon Squad and Poltergeist.

Also, third would be What Happened To You or Tempest.

People, people, people. They're all opinions, and what is classed as the best/worst Deftones song depends entirely on an individual's music tastes and how they interpret the song and emotion and etc. There's no way to objectively say what their best song is unless you wanna go by a poll, but since popular isnt always the best indicator of talent, I'd say even that falls short. So basically, everyone shut the fuck up telling ppl what their best song is or telling ppl that their opinion is wrong.

Well... that pretty much summed it up.

Group hug?

[Slacker]

romantic dreams was so hyped...im not saying is overrated now but...not to much talkity talk about it...

I have to admit, Graphic Nature has grown on me a lot recently. It was my least favorite, but I love Chino's vocals on that track. Reminds me of how he sang on some of the ATF stuff.

Same. Don't know where that track came from, I had it written off as the weak link at first.

Yeah, it was the only track I wasn't feelin at first, but upon further listening. It's become stuck in my head, more so than the other songs. I love the entire album though. I gave it 4/5

This album is so hard to hold down. It's so damn consistent that my favourites seem to change daily. Just going to accept it all as awesome and give up! 

But today, Graphic Nature is the one.

Also, just want to show my support for What Happened To You?. I love it. I apologise for this.

KNY is fucking amazingly beautiful, its just an amazing album. this album shouldnt be compared to other albums because kny in itself is preety unique. WHTY is probably my favorite on the album. I think it has to do with losing someone precious and dear, A star is burning out, the sky belongs to you, or maybe he means god or heaven but anyways i absolutely love every single song on the album so that means no skippers for me. Im 32 now and have been with the deftones since i was 15, hence Adrenaline which is one of my favorites, I love every one of their albums cause they all have their own special memory and feel along with them. KNY is a 5/5 and every song on this album is a 5/5 as well. I really hope deftones make 30 more albums. its so awesome they are still together. THANKYOU Deftones for touching my heart again with great music and GOD BLESS

[N0S3BLEED976]

Ok.. after listening to What happened to you and reading the lyrics... that song is the most beautiful they've ever written. Hands down. May be their best song ever.

It's a beautiful and great song. Not their best, though.

how could you not think of faith no more in a really good way?

Sergio did a great job on the album, hes alot more prominent and he kinda does his own thing on the album which is awesome. Im sure he has and is really helping the deftones with the writing process. Chino is getting alot better on the guitar as well and im sure Steff and Chino are having alot of fun
