Koi No Yokan thread

[Electron§]

Id love to hear Terry do his thang on the tracks from SNW, DE, and KNY. The three albums which desperately needed his touch.

okay here's my review

Koi No Yokan - 8.5 out of 10

Swerve City 8/10 - great choice for an opener. would be great to experience this on a live show
Romantic Dreams 8/10 - this is a smart song i guess, chino's singing style pretty impressed me here, song structure are amazing.
Leathers 8/10 - great song to kick it, but imo chino shouldnt play guitar on this. just sayin
Poltergeist 9/10 - monster song. amazing!
Entombed 8/10 - beautiful and really emotional but not a sequel of sextape
Graphic Nature 7/10 - seems to be a grower, the chorus part is not really standout. but this is new from them, kinda have a little dark vibe on it.
Tempest 8/10 - catchy song, radio friendly, but still rocking hard like deftones always do.
Gauze 9/10 - heavy but thats not all. chino did great job too here. digging his vocal style which is very unique.
Rosemary 8/10 - Classic and dreamy tune from them. kinda fit to self titled era.
Goon Squad 8/10 - reminded me of combat, but this is better.
What Happened to You? 7/10 - crosses with a little rx queen. abe's drumming makes this song better.

this album is definitely what i expected. straight to become top 3 from their catalogue

i also think that the "best shit ever", "it's a msterpiece" posts are too soon.. let it sink in. but I was still surprised about how good it sounds at first listenings .. and that the "deftones" feeling was there more than i thought. poltergeist, graphic nature, goon squad sounds like they will be my favorites.romantic dreams sounded far better than the snippet implied, the only weak tracks would be entombed and what happened to you, rest seem pretty damn good imo.i'll tell you this much, way better than snw and d.e, but to grade the album or rank it more than that is too soon for me

"Swerve City" 2/5
"Romantic Dreams" 4.5/5
"Leathers" 2.5/5
"Poltergeist" 4.5/5
"Entombed" 1/5

"Tempest" 1/5
"Gauze" 2/5
"Rosemary" 5/5
"Good Squad" 4.5/5
"What Happened To You?" 1/5

well deftones music is better with age, if i said this album is fucking amazing, then in the future this album will be more fucking amazing

seems like there's no middle ground on entombed you either love it or hate it.

I love this album very very much <3 and not just saying cause im a deftones fan, but because they really stepped up compared to diamond eyes .. i expected a great album .
But this is more than expected .. and i love it <3 im glad its not DE 2 or ATF 2 or WP 2 .. its something new .. i love it whrn deftones experiment .. theres a few tracks that sounds really unorthodox to deftones but it still has that deftones sound to it! And im just very pleased and amazed with this amazing album .. deftones ALWAYS delivers <3

With each listen I become less impressed with the songs I already didn't like. Really "Entombed" is probably the worst Deftones song of all time. Sick title, horrible song.   

[!BloodyCape!]

So far loving the album! Kind of gives me a like Linus vibe (vocally) with
Better production and some shoegaze influences!    listening at work all day

Some of these songs sound really half ass.

i totally forgot that chino is already using his high pitch on like linus. so basically chino had no progression at all lol JK
he's better now

Wheres that one guy that said has a daughter that loves deftones and cant wait to show her the new album when she wakes up??!! I hope she enjoys the album man! And have fun listening to this amazing album with her! your doing good bro and keep up the good daddy work

Poltergeist has got me.... So heavy towards the end.

It's funny that you never truly know what to expect frm Deftones until it gets there. Even the previews, they didnt do the songs justice, and wen you listen to the whole song it has so much going on, so many different influences and directions. I dont know how anyone can not like this album, but that's what happens wen ppl have different opinions. A band that's been making music for over 20 yrs is bound to make music that some ppl dont like.

Though it seems like ppl hate Entombed and What Happened To You? the most. Presumably because they're too slow/mellow?

[ghettovaquero]

what happened to you? is my favorite

I really don't understand that, especially Entombed... I love those two.

Yeah, they are mellow but I like them.  Deftones hasn't been straight hardcore through an album since ATF.  I think Entombed is a good song for a Deftones ballad.  Take it for what it is.  Not every song is going to be crushing like Goon Squad or Poltergeist.  Anyone that's been paying attention to Deftones over the years knows there are going to be some slow ballad type songs.  This album is really a great mix of all the things that make Deftones a great band.  I do think it sounds a bit hurried at times.  Putting a little more time into it could have made it hands down their best album but that being said, it's still way up there.

Romantic Dreams and Goon Squad are my favorites.

Have deftones announced whether they're going to do another webcast like with WP & DE ?
