Koi No Yokan thread

[iceache]

Not sure where the minority of hate is coming from. I think it's a killer, killer song and I feel so much more excited to hear the rest of the album than I did with DE when I first heard Rocket Skates.

It doesn't actually sound like a Deftones song, nothing I've heard before by them but yet it still has those distinguishable traits that we all admire so much. Atmosphere, emotion, aggression and intensity. Each member of the band brings something different to the table and you can really hear that clearly with this song. They are still having fun, they are at a point in their career where they prob don't give two shits if people like it or not. The music has always been about them more than pleasing fans anyway. It's just an added bonus that we seem to love the music they make so much.

People expecting Around the Fur/White Pony part. 2 will of course be disappointed.

I dunno, I think this track encompasses everything from WP-ST-SNW-DE all mashed into one bitchin song!

It's official

Leathers is NOW the most listened to song on the Deftones_Official soundcloud account! Way to go fellas!

[bewareofrats]

In case you got the wrong impression from me Starz, I am loving this song.  I just find the chorus more commercial than I'd like even though I still like the chorus too.

[Far away]

i wanna take that intro and make sweet sweet love to it. get it pregnant, and the grow old with it. I'm in love with it!

totally this.

[DeftonesNZ]

I love leathers its a new sound for the deftones but you can still tell its them, sick of people wanting a sequel album like self titled 2.0, fans should know by now that the deftones will always keep evolving.

[Danny Keyes]

Initial reaction: This sounds like heavy thursday

wow man i thought the exact same thing.

[bewareofrats]

Is someone going to merge the Leathers thread with this one?  It seems to make sense.

Oh Ves, never change.  Gotta love ya.

This is honestly better than ANYTHING on Diamond Eyes to me. I don't like the chorus, though.

Does that mean you overall like the song, or you dont like it but it's an improvement on DE?

The verses kill anything on Diamond Eyes. To me. I don't know about the improvement...

That's weird. You're like...one of the biggest contributors ever, but you're not a typical over-the-top fan that loves everything they create and everything about them.

Also, good news to everyone seeing them live after the album is out: new setlist don't have to be annoyed at the same songs being played as the other five times you saw them. Until the next show of course.

[RollerDerby]

Personally love the track. Chorus is a bit weak, but the verses definitely make up for it. Frank secondly shines here, and Steph... Sweet jesus. I really do hope the album properly alternates Heavy and soft. I think that was one of the major weaknesses of DE. Started of overly aggressive and then mellowed out way too much. Not saying I think DE was a weak album, so don't get it twisted you vultures.

what a load of naive bs lol

its also not "something you've never heard from them", c'mon.. its very much in line with the heavier tracks from the last few records.

though its not commercial... commercial is Change... this isnt a memorable hook (for those who dont listen to it 99 times like we do rite now)

And I'm proud of it. That's the main reason why lots of people here think I'm a dumbass or an annoying fuck.

[beaverwithfishyshoes]

its not a new direction, c'mon, thats fanboy praise.

its very much typically SNW/DE deftones. just a weak chorus, in my mind.

[DeftonesNZ]

Yea steph and chino sound sick with their guitar playing in this can't wait to upgrade to an eight string sounds fun to play. Also Abe like usual is smashing those drums he never disappoints also Sergio is really good i hear a big improvement from diamond eyes he's more separate from the guitar riffs but they merge well. Frank does an awesome job he just does his subtle little things to create the mood.

[Vesanic]

I agree with beaver, I don't think the mood is that different from a song like Diamond Eyes or CMND/CTRL, with a heavy SNW twist.

Couldn't have said it better. It still has the DE vibe, lyrically and guitar-wise. The way it is structured is very reminiscent of SNW.

[DEFinatelydeftones,fsho]

i dig!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna b a killer record. Funny, after I let it play in my Itunes I was running aroung the house putting shit away n cleaning wtvr  and Boys Republic came next and killed Leathers, ..... i WISH THAT NEVER HAPPENED! haha Still love the track but see a huge contrast between 12 yrs, very normal. We are truely blessed as DEFTONES FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never fails! Wanna add, they make me feel like a badass to think I've been a fan since day 2 and always knew theyu were special.....this longevity is reall gonna surprise me next time though if there really is one. KNY is gonna b great.....no skepticism here at all.

[bebo]

that intro got my dick hard then the rest of the song was like a giant veiny cock being shoved into my ass repeatedly then spurting boiling semen directly onto my prostate in conjunction with a blast of diarrhea
