Koi No Yokan thread

[P4n1cAtt4cK]

Hey guys. I signed up because I wanted to let the Deftones community know that I got the album yesterday and I have made a video for the uncasing of it for people who would be interested in seeing the booklet artwork and display of the album in general that I am uploading as I type this. I will have the link up very shortly.

It's now tuesday november 13 in Chicago the day and release of KOI NO YOKAN by DEFTONES. I have listened to

the koi no yokan album already but the Deftones since Adrenaline came out I cant really rank the albums by anger or excellence since they are

all very good and SOOTHING depending on what mood you are in.  As of right now I am finding new screams and

vocals by Chino in this album. I believe that alot of people can't hear the tones the way they want to

beacuase they didn' write the song and they don't know what the lyrics mean but I'm sure some do.  I'm liking

the song poltergeist Because chino says a lyric "try me" and like in diamond eyes when he says "fuck with me"

Seems he doesn't give a fuck anymore because  no one would fuck with him.  I love when you wait for something

and it finally arrives; like this album.... It's a good feeling.



I would rank my Deftones albums like this.... 

ADRENLINE "angry"
DEFONTES
AROUND THE FUR
SATURDAY NIGHT WRIST
DIAMOND EYES
KOI NO YOKAN
WHITE PONY



Do you guys remember the keychain that came with White Pony album release
?

[Hesperian Death-Horse!]

1.White Pony
2.Around The Fur
3.Deftones
4.Adrenaline
5.Saturday Night Wrist
6.Diamond Eyes aka Non existent album #1
7.Koi No Yokan aka Non existent album #2

Swap 2 and  3 and we have a deal

Usually I am not trying to like an album, it's either good or not. Yet, I am trying really hard to like KNY, but so far it's not clicking. I know it's a fine album overall, but it's now what I expected. What caught me off guard is that "pop" vibe it has, the cheesy choruses and the vocal effects... OMG, the vocal effects ! I realize I sound like a narrow minded Metallica fan, but fuck Nick Raskulinecz

[illthrowROCKS@U]

As far as ranking KNY tracks goes....

1- Gauze
2- Poltergeist
3- Graphic Nature
4- Goon Squad
5- Swerve City
6- What Happened to You?
7- Entombed
8- Tempest
9- Rosemary
10- Leathers
11- Romantic Dreams


Romantic Dreams could have been an amazing song, but that CHORUS!  Ugh

[Visitant]

I respect your opinion to dislike Adrenaline, but you lost me with the nu-metal by the numbers bit.  I challenge you to name 3 nu-metal bands that came out during that time that you feel deftones had a strong resemblance to.  Also, feel free to continue this in the Bullshit thread where it belongs.

Korn, Glassjaw and Orange 9mm all come readily to mind.

You can argue that Orange 9mm weren't "nu-metal", but they had a definite influence on Deftones' sound during that period.

I'm arguing that Glassjaw is or ever was nu-metal.

[Electron§]

Ive never heard of anyone categorizing Glassjaw as nu metal. They were always post hardcore and Ive even heard people saying they were basically the 2000's antithesis to that whole trend in that they're sound was distinct to that stuff.....

Glassjaw sounds like an exaggerated version of Deftones though. There a lot less subtle, but I see a strange similarity.

[N0S3BLEED976]

Man, Swerve City, what a track. I've been digging it a lot, lately.

It's not my favorite off of the album, but it's straight to the point, melodic and something you can jump up and down to.

[ShadowScars]

This may have been covered in one of the previou 535 pages, but are there still suppose to be 3 bonus tracks or was that scrapped?

Made this for today lol

[sing blue silver]

Off to the store I go to get my first copy. As is tradition, I'll smoke a joint in my car and listen to the record. Good thing I'm off work today.

according to chino, the music's recorded on 2 more tracks. chino didn't put any vocals on them though, and won't do so, so no bonus stuff it seems

what about the covers songs?

[xToxin]

1.White Pony
2.Around The Fur
3.Deftones
4.Adrenaline
5.Saturday Night Wrist
6.Diamond Eyes aka Non existent album #1
7.Koi No Yokan aka Non existent album #2

I absolutely agree with this ranking. Diamond eyes is the lesser of two evils being compared to Koi No Yokan

[poltergeist entombed]

OMG, the vocal effects ! I realize I sound like a narrow minded Metallica fan, but fuck Nick Raskulinecz

Vocal Delay (delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay delay)is one of the best things about this album. And it's not Nick's "fault" per se - Chino was experimenting with that in Team Sleep and really dug it. It's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

what about the covers songs?

yeah what happened to those.they talked about doing some early elvis and earth wind & fire. guess the whole thing just fizzled out. honestly though, that seemed just like a fun thing more than making music that really was genuinely good with a lasting value
