Not listening the given songs is just a stupid fantasy.
You are just fooling yourselfs.
Because there is actually nothing more comes back to you.
When the album drops, heard it before or not, you will listen the songs you like more than the others.
So..unnecceasry fantasy

And please, for the god sake stop using ''IMO''s in every messages. Everyone knows thats your opinion and not Global Music Critics and Reviews' opinion. So...

I disagree. If I play one or two songs to shit 1 or 2 or 3 months before the album comes out, those songs will be like holes in the listening experience that feel more worn out than the rest of the tracks in the album together. I'm an album kind of person. I don't just skip around on records to the songs I prefer more. I want to be able to spin it in full each time and have it feel at least somewhat uniformly new. So holding off makes perfect sense for someone like me.

This. Completely. Kinda had this with Rocket Skates. If you play a song to death, when the album comes out that song sticks out. Feels like it doesn't fit. An album to me is a whole, not just a collection of songs I'll skip through. It takes a while for the newer tracks to get as familiar as the leaked ones and for the album to flow.

[dictatesofreason]

yeah it all takes time.

Agree. But I never care enough to not listen lol. That said, with DE I played the shit outta Rocket Skates. Listened to it 100s of times before the album came out. Poltergeist and Rosemary I've heard like 5 times, Leathers...maybe a dozen times. Tempest only a couple of times. So I should be all hyped up for the album without overplaying any songs. That said, I never listen to an album all the way through if it contains songs I've heard; I skip the songs I've heard until I've heard the rest of the album. Then I listen the whole way through until certain songs become my favorite. Then I play them repeatedly for weeks until it changes.

I remember wen the DE leak came out, it was just wen I was about to sleep. I'd already been awake more than 24 hrs, but fuck it, new Deftones, had to listen. With all the excitement of new music that sounded awesome, I was no longer tired. Listened to it for a few hrs repeatedly until I was tired enough to sleep...then couldnt sleep because my mind was playing snippets of the album constantly.

Good times, good times. I await the same for KNY.

Haha sounds about right...

"And brace for the glory, as you stare into the sky"

I love these lyrics and I haven't even listened to Tempest yet.

Glad y'all could feel me on that one.

Guys...I've never understood why you were all obsessed with sound quality (by which I mean most of the time it all sounds the same to me). I just bought new headphones today. My old ones have always been suckish, but anyways, I used my new ones just now wen I was listening to Leathers and ohmygodwhatthefuckhaveibeenmissingouton. This is amazing. Music is even more amazing than I thought it was. Oh shit. Anyways, so yeah, basically, now that the music actually sounds better, I'm even more excited for the new album. Easier to hear all the different aspects.

Edit: And Tempest. Oh dear God.

[XJohnnyX]

what kind of headphones?

[iceache]

what kind of headphones?

Anything that costs more than 20 bucks lol

[XJohnnyX]

lol i was asking which one theshade1989 , but yea anything over 20 bucks, i did pick up some 150 dollar ones for 30 :p

[XJohnnyX]

i hope the deftones.com pre order doesnt come only with a shirt, what does everyone really expect from a limited edition KNY realistically?

[Amoe38]

[shoop]

and just like that, I feel the need to get new headphones. i'm using 2 old shitty dell speakers most of the time cause a cocksucker stole my 5.1   and I haven't felt right since. lol.. I did burn Leathers & Tempest to a cd for my ride, and god DAMN do they sound great. It was like listening to them for the first time all over again.

[Change_Lestat]

If it's true (and it looks like it is), i envy you Amoe38

[shoop]

How do you guys think the ending of Rosemary will sound? That extra bit with Chino's guitar or without?

Get some noise cancellation ones or Bang and Olufsen headphones. They're expensive but I've tried them and the sound quality is awesome.

The fuck is with your Sig dude? The shit takes like 5 minutes to scroll past. Why mods here allow people to assign fucking wallpapers as their sigs is beyond me...

Very good point, forbid all that crap now! Let's vote for it....

[sing blue silver]

Havin a small recording studio in my house means lots of amazing headphones. I'm a total audiophile and quality snob. I like to experience every nuance in music.

And yes, no more gigantic sigs!! I've been guilty of it but I've see the error of my ways. Even the one I have now is a bit big and some guys here (the Eros sig an the deftones American flag sig) are fucking ridiculous. Especially when they're posting every other comment.

[rock_n_frost]

that american deftones picture is pretty cool tho
reminds me of Apollo's shorts on Rocky
