Define Retarded?

Retarded: Goosebumps, rad guitar tone, Abe does shit I've never heard him do before. The album reminded me of White Pony a lot ;-)

[m1nusblindfoLd]

Lmao be patient for a reward after you tell us it sucks? Grreeaatt.....

Dude, I in no way said it sucked. I just didnt like a couple songs. Overall its a great album. I only heard it once man, Of course I didnt get to really soak it in.

Well I didn't know you meant retarded as in good. I thought you were saying every song you named sucked...

Define Retarded?

Retarded: Goosebumps in certain parts, rad guitar tone, overall a REEETARDED song.

Sounded like you were taking a verbal shit on half the album.

Hey dude, I'm just being honest. Some songs were stellar. Some were meh. I felt the same way about DE. For the most part it was a breathtaking album. I really can't say cuz the songs I didnt care for upon first listen may end up being my fav's. I just thought I would post how I felt INITIALLY.

[m1nusblindfoLd]

So basically he said 3 songs aren't great/suck.

Well well well, I had the privilege of hearing KNY in its entirety tonight about 3 hours ago. Being somewhat connected to a certain insider (think the band Samiam) seemed to pay off. Whether you choose to believe me or not is up to you, but ya'll can ask Cyn about my credibility. I am def no troll. KNY is most def their most unique album to date, a fair amount of segways/segues that I dug a lot. Seems like Chino stepped it up on guitar. Way up. You guys are all freaking over hearing the studio version of "Rosemary" but it doesnt sound all that diff than the live version. As far as the other songs... There were a couple I personally didnt care for ("Poltergeist", "Gauze", "Goon Squad") but "What Happened to You?" And fucking "Romantic Dreams" are retarded. Be patient fellers and fellettes, you shall be rewarded for your patience.

Describe some of these songs, that you didnt like. Are they slow? cliche? too soft?

04. Poltergeist 2/5
05. Entomb 4/5
06. Graphic Nature 3/5
07. Tempest 3/5
08. Gauze 2/5
09. Rosemary 5/5
10. Goon Squad 2/5
11. What Happened To You? (Flashback)

[one weak]

reading and comprehension seems awfully difficult for the majority of people on this board. how you can misinterpret "there were a couple of songs i personally didn't care for" to "ahhh, he said the album was shit!"is fucking beyond me. And this is directly following uplifting statements.

R-E-A-D people.

You didn't give What Happened To You? a rating! haha. Also, which are the slow ones?

[m1nusblindfoLd]

Can you give us quick descriptions of each song?

Actually I think it was just the 'retarded' statement that threw most of us off.

We already said...because we thought retarded meant bad which would mean he said half the album is bad. But he meant it in positive way.

Cliche comes to mind. I didnt like "Sextape", "Beauty School", or "Rocket Skates" off of DE. I tend to gravitate toward heavier/dynamic songs alot more than the softer/cliche songs. "Tempest" is a great example... Great song but I think it could have went in a diff direction after the interlude-ish section.

Oh thank god ill probably love it loved sextape and beauty school,rocket skates is ggod but nothing special

[geraavl08]

What!? Beauty School is the bomb!! I can see you have a different taste

[DeftonesNZ]

What!? Beauty School is the bomb!! I can see you have a different taste

Exactly that was the highlight of DE for me the majority of us will probably like those tracks had me worried there lol

[decapod]

What!? Beauty School is the bomb!! I can see you have a different taste

You're entitled to your opinion mang. That song does nothing for me. Now, "Risk", "976-Evil" and "Royal" are all amazing. KNY def has a diff feel than their previous albums. I know all their albums sound diff but it just sounds otherwordly and really experimental compared to DE. To me DE just sounds like them going thru the motions. KNY sounds like they took a much more cerebral approach. Thats the best way i can explain it.
