Koi No Yokan thread

[from_musings]

it may sound ridiculous, but frank's effects/notes in swerve city's verses just make the song beyond catchy, it's too much for me.it would've been catchy without it too, but frank's stuff is like adding syrap on cotton candy. i know those effects aren't much, but they are smudging the whole song for me, even when they're not heard. riff, bridge and the little solo are very good though. it's a good song but less cute i wish

[Flowb]

I can safely say now that I like every song on the album. Wasn't quite sure of Graphic Nature at first but it's grown on me. Still seem to be drawn to Gauze the most so far.

OMG, the vocal effects ! I realize I sound like a narrow minded Metallica fan, but fuck Nick Raskulinecz

Vocal Delay (delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay)is one of the best things about this album. And it's not Nick's "fault" per se - Chino was experimenting with that in Team Sleep and really dug it. It's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

I agree! I love the vocal effect. Plus, if you watch practically any performance of Chino from White Pony ear to now, Chino has delay on his vocals live. He's the only singer I know of that can overuse delay, but it fits his voice so perfectly and just adds to that ever present eerie vibe that Deftones put into a lot of their music.

Well guys and gals, the album has been out. The majority of us have had it for about a week now.
Seems like fuckin YESTERDAY when the leak hit.
Now that it's finally released, time has now officially gone back to flying by faster than the speed of light.
Agree? lol

It's somewhat of a comedown.... Was on cloud nine when it first leaked and it's been a week and I've listened to it too many times to count...... All I can say is it is an Awesome album.. and Long live the Deftones..

[illthrowROCKS@U]

Damone is awful? Fuck off dude, no way you're a deftones fan.

Mmkay, please tell me how your opinion is any more valid than anyone else's... ZzZzzZZzzzZZzz

[DAFTPUNK87]

Yeah same here. When I first obtained the album, it was like a high I've never felt before; or no drug could ever achieve.
I've listened to it non stop, but I've just now kinda gave it a lil break. Not that I'm tired of it, because I still listen to a few tracks here and there the last couple of days. I just felt that I didn't want to run it into the ground.

[ShadowScars]

Still haven't gotten my preorder from Deftones.com. Tried the link in their email to track the package again, now it finally works and says it won't be delivered until Friday.......................................... wtf.

I'm still pretty much on a non-stop loop =P  I don't even know how many times I've listened to it top to bottom by now... 100? 200?

Its these guys saying there hasn't been a true deftones album since self titled fuckin piss me off. Just because you don't like the songs doesn't mean it's not true deftones. Fuck you
There are loads of people who love this sound, and appreciate the fact that they are going in new directions. If you don't dig it, just say that. Don't fucking say this isn't true deftones. Because it is.

If that's their opinion and are clear on the fact it's their very own subjective opinion, then leave them alone. While I agree with you, it could be the other way around, maybe they think "Fuck Playhouse" because you're stating it's real Deftones as a fact while they totally disagree. Remain tolerant.

I agree. I guess my post was a bit hypocritical. I just get fired up when I see those comments saying new stuff isn't 'true' deftones, when I really like it and enjoy it. It makes it seem like I enjoy fake deftones or some shit. But your right I should just remain tolerant

Let them fight! Let them fight!

I disagree that there hasn't been a real Deftones album since Self Titled. How is that the case? Self Titled had a mix of heavier and softer songs. As did Saturday Night Wrist. As did Diamond Eyes. As does Koi No Yokan....sounds like those are all Deftones records to me.

[only pieces remain]

DEFTONES' seventh studio album, "Koi No Yokan", is likely to sell between 60,000 and 65,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on November 13 via Reprise.

"Koi No Yokan" follows up 2010's "Diamond Eyes", which sold 62,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 6 on The Billboard 200 chart.

DEFTONES' 2006 album, "Saturday Night Wrist", opened with 76,000 units to land at position No. 10 on The Billboard 200 chart.
