Koi No Yokan thread

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.   

jajaja i was thinking Entombed going to be a metal song too lol but i love this song

[pony_01]

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

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 ?

[from_musings]

personally,i don't hate entombed. i like soft music - but it's just kinda dull. like it aims for being a strong song but fails to deliver (imho). more like nice background music. maybe it's a grower. what happened to you is a weak closer, not like a finished song, more like an eighties jam or something.don't hate it, just boring. maybe it's a grower.

but i don't hate any koi no yokan songs this far - this is gonna be a good record in the long run (i hope)
god how i love the echoing on chino's voclas in poltergeist.. who's idea was that? i'd like to high five that guy. and the ending is mental

Nope. I doubt it though.

[Sett]

They published the whole album for free listening. The link is in their FB page. Nice reaction from WB. I guess few people will search for the leak like that.

[invalidses]

FLAC is up. mmmmmm lossless.

[sing blue silver]

KNY is streaming on Rolling Stone.

[xToxin]

Yeah well no one upload any songs from the album on youtube. It gets blocked immediately (which happened before now also) but now it's like straight away bam blocked.  Can't upload anything that has to do with the album. I'm surprised that sampler wasn't taken down.

Fuck you for wanting to share music right.

[Jville808]

I'm a little disappointed in the album to be honest. Hopefully it will grow on me. I haven't had a chance to soak it all in in one listen yet, but I wouldn't say it's better than DE just yet. Don't get me wrong though, the good songs on KNY are REALLY good, but a couple tracks so far are kind of blah, like filler material.

That's pretty kwl that you enjoy the album, it's quite rare that you say something that isnt negative haha. I think Deftones should be very proud of themselves

Also good that they're streaming the album or whatever. I guess now that it's leaked and it's so close to the release date, they dont mind ppl listening but are making sure it's coming frm them too.

[Mustang]

pfft, Entombed is excellent, y'all. smh

[sing blue silver]

Listening to the stream on Rolling Stone. I'll share my thoughts later.
