Koi No Yokan thread

The only time you'll know is the day they tell us they're no more. Until then, it's all good.

They are just giving space for stuff like Sergio's current run with Quicksand. Chino is probably sorting Palms stuff out as well. It's not like KNY is going to be forgotten in these last few weeks either.

.......... This album is definitely their most ambitious artistically.

Basically, STFU FGTS

have you heard white pony?

In "Rosemary," has anyone else noticed the background vocals/screaming during the "time shifting" part (e.g. 1:43, 3:44).  It almost sounds like jazz scat screaming and has some very interesting timing/syncopation going on.  After "time" it goes:

1+2+3+4+ 1+2+3+4+
             X   oX oX

The X's are louder than the o's.  The first X is "shifting,"  the rest just sounds like background screaming/vocal noise.  But the timing is blowing my mind.  Very cool stuff.

I wish I could agree but I have no idea what song you're talking about.

EDIT: just read all the lyrics and figured out you were talking about "Rosemary"... My favorite song haha so many little gems in this song for me. I love Abe's snare hit during the 2nd "stay with me" part. Chino sings "come...*snare*...sail with me"... The snare is so loud(I'm guessing both sticks hit it) and then he changes to hi-hat... And Then back to the ride cymbal. His drumming makes this part so dreamy.... So simple yet effective. Damn I love this song.

Sorry about that, and thanks for pointing that out.  Such a strong song but the intro/outro seem a bit bloated.

The days of music videos for bands like Deftones are almost over, they just don't get the tv coverage that would justify the cost of making one the best they can do is Youtube and frankly it's not worth the cost because only people looking for the video would see it and they would obviously already know about the album, It's not hipster bullshit about letting the music stand on its own, I like it how they've put the focus on the music alone too much modern music is focused on image and gimmicks aimed at people with short attention spans and the importance of stuff like good lyrics and musicianship is lost I'm sick of seeing videos that are topping the charts that have a badly produced "beat" and only 10 unique words in the whole song,this way people aren't distracted by flashy music videos and instead are able to be drawn in by the songs true merits not gimmicks.

In this day and age I am suprised they haven't come up with a fan video contest.

Yeah I've seen it done before it's a great way to cut cost and build attention around the album but with how sloppily the PR team are at the moment I don't think they could have pulled it off they still haven't announced the winner of that guitar competition

[samson simpson]

Gauze is awesome ..

Franks work is really great on this song

[Electron§]

The main problem I have with this album is that Ill be digging the verse of a song and then as soon as it goes into the chorus, I facepalm. So many good ideas, ruined by the center of the song. "Romantic Dreams", "Gauze" and "Goon Squad" all have this problem, while "Leathers" has the problem of having an intro thats better than the actual bulk of the song. The rest of the album though is pretty much throwaway songs that I just can't get into altogether, pretty much due to them not really sounding like Deftones at all. "Rosemary" is to me the masterpiece of this album. A really good song among this mostly lackluster album and even in general, but even so, sometimes I find something boring about this one as well..... Overall, this is just kind of an epic failure. Non of these songs will stay with me the way the rest of Deftones catalog (not including Diamond Eyes) has....

Hopefully on the next album, they can deliver something closer to the old Deftones style. I'm not saying I want Around The Fur part 2, I'm just saying I want something that makes sense in relation to the rest of the albums before Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan. Maybe if they'd just release Eros, I have a feeling I be a little more content, since that seems to be the last TRUE Deftones record.

Definitely one of my favorites from KNY. Chorus is epic.

Best on the album In my opinion.

[nineteen]

Gotta say, I still love this record. Keeps getting better and better.

Love Frank's stuff in the chorus of Gauze.

Imo this is top 3 deftones album.

Blows SNW and DE away. 

The band seems to have a new energy on KNY. I'm sure this is a stupid statement but I can't think of any music out there that can even compare to this.

Its like the Deftones have created their own musical category.

Yes!

It lacks on their overall "core" sound from the first 4 albums , but so have the last 2 albums they put out before KNY 
The thing is this..... KNY works out better than SNW and DE couldve ever imagined as far as them expanding and blending their old style with what they plan to do in the future.

I love this album and its my favorite since White Pony and Deftones ( by far).

[TheyCallMeP]

Honestly, KNY was in the bottom half of the 'tones discography for me when I first heard it. I've listened to it over 100 times now and can honestly say it has grown on me more than any thee of their albums. Might have cracked top three or four for me after ATF and White Pony with self titled somewhere in the mix. Just waiting for SNW to really hit me now like it has other people haha.

I think SNW should hit you hard after listening to KNY. The songs could have been vastly improved. It seems that they settled so quickly on Chino's ideas. Chino writes good songs and riffs but he really could have improved a lot more on this record.

Anyhow, I am honestly waiting for Eros and the next album. KNY is like adrenaline for me, at the bottom.

Dont worry dude, it will happen for ya

It seems too all over the place.  I do like a lot of the songs but it is by far my least favorite tones album.

[Cullision]

So what happened with the covers? They never recorded any?
