Koi No Yokan thread

[Slacker]

Right! With every other album theres been some type of promotion street team gear and stuff. I mean ya we're still a month out but it all seems very tight lipped.

Back to topic:

I think it's about time to give us at least a few hints on what the KNY cover will look like. When has the album artwork for Diamond Eyes been revealed again? Wasn't it about two months before its release?

Be patient. I mentioned this in the old KNY thread...the times have changed from 2 years ago. Record companies don't have to do so much marketing anymore. People will get the information when it comes. Fast. Twitter, facebook, soundcloud, whatever...They don't need to build excitement for a year anymore. They're already done that without releasing so much information, makes you want more! I just recently found a sticker for the White Pony marketing. Its a big red square with a star in the corner, the word Deftones, and "SPRING 2000" on the side. I'm pretty sure I had that sticker MONTHS before..

I'll give you guys an example (like I did before but no one seemed to care)... Crystal Castles has a new album coming out. They have been recording since earlier this year and people have asking for news since January. No album title, no artwork, no music. The word is out..a new album is coming. 7 months later they finally play a track "Plague" live when they start touring again. August comes by, no news about the album. Supposedly it was coming out late September. Come this week they release album cover, new song "Wrath of God" and the finally, the video to Plague that they filmed back in August (Check it out...awesome video). The album is dropping Nov. 5th...similar time frame to Deftones.

Converge has a new album dropping October 9th. They've been playing "Aimless Arrow" live for a couple of months now. They barely released the video for it and album cover earlier this month (Awesome video as well...Deftones should do one similar where they aren't featured in it). Just yesterday they released a new song and its fucking amazing.

What did I miss?

nothing dude. pretty much 10 or so pages of bullshit and trolling.

Wow, you have fingers and a computer keyboard! Very impressive!

Edit: This was in response to a spammer.

See what I'm getting at? Just be patient..we have gotten our 3 new tracks from the album, Leathers artwork, release date...it'll all come soon.

I don't understand how this helps.  So you're saying KNY could be out in January?  Because you said Crystal Castles or whoever was supposed to release the album late September and now it's not out until November 5th?

hell yeah brother

I went to a converge show this past summer and they played quite a few of their new songs, all classic converge. Cant wait

[paulieknoxville]

So some fucking mod just threaten to ban me because they insisted that I was lying about meeting someone who claimed to have KNY. Is this REALLY what the mods around here are fucking doing with their time / internet authority? I mean come the fuck on. Even if I had been bullshitting you all, which I wasn't, what exactly was I bullshitting you all with? I came up empty handed regardless.

Ban me for getting excited? Go ahead bitches.

Ugh, this thread has suddenly killed my enthusiasm for the new album.

[bewareofrats]

Yep, it'll get ya, everytime.

[Caín]

Man, after listening to Leathers again, I'm so bummed Nick Raskulinecz doesn't know how to record drums properly. It's not as bad as Diamond Eyes (listen to CMND/CTRL for terrible, terrible, terrible drum sound) but he still is underselling Abe for what it's worth.

Also my annoyance with Nick especially on Diamond Eyes. The snare is just like a wet fart and they aren't as punchy/crisp/dynamic as their old stuff. I feel it's an improvement on Leathers however but nothing like the past.

I think I'm a product of the 90s generation where everything was recorded quite rough - Korn's first two records for example - the snare and high-hats are mega loud but I like that. Probably a bad comparison but I loved the sound of Abe's kit on all of their records ending with S/T.

All in all though, it's not enough for me to hate it, just a preference really. I really do like Leathers the more I listen to it.

[xToxin]

Leathers will probably be the catchy song they release first as a taste. If a lot of the songs are over 5 minutes then they have to at the very least have a little bit of experimentation/soundscapes.  I'm excited for that, their singles on the past few records have been my least favorite songs on those albums.

I have no idea what Tempest will sound like, but since the record company chose it, I guess it'll be something that's just a summary of the record basically.

[xToxin]

I'm also excited to hear Swerve City, since Chino seems to be excited for that song, and wanted it as the first single. He said in an interview if they get a second single, he hopes it's that one.

I wonder what it sounds like?

[therealdaebat]

So how about that band the Deftones?  They seem like cool dudes.

[xToxin]

Who's the deftones?

[guts311]

It's "deftones" not "the deftones" you fuckin idiots

[dictatesofreason]

is actually "deaftunes"

[Pndi]

It's "deftones" not "the deftones" you fuckin idiots

i'm fine with calling them the Deftones, don't see the problem

[Crazylegs]

It's "deftones" not "the deftones" you fuckin idiots

Nice piece of work you are. Focus you teenage frustrations on something else please.

[guts311]

LOL! Wow sensitive board eh? Take a fuckin joke weirdos

This board has some of the most serious, unfun, asshole people I've ever seen. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Deftones information.

You're gonna focus on me telling the correct band name, among all the other shit people type on here? Get your priorities straight "mod".

Go ahead, ban me for being honest (cause I know you will). I will just be right back in via a proxy site :p
