They recorded 16 songs? I wouldn't mind them to actually put them all on the record, if you ask me

[Crazylegs]

For the sake of the album, they better not.

[Inkblades]

Yeah, 16 might be too much for a tracklisting, but I'll happily take some bonus tracks. And maybe, hopefully, we will hear new TS before new DT.

[Jesus2Chino]

Sounds promising to me! It at least means they were focusing on what a lot of us considered to be one of their weaker points these past couple of albums: overly predictable songwriting. Honestly I wouldn't at all mind a 16 track album (however it's structured doesn't much matter to me--with bonus tracks or whatever would be fine). After my first listens to KNY and DE I remember that distinct feeling of wishing there was a bit more album. With their average song length, 16 songs would only take a 45 minute album to an hour and 10 minute album, which sounds great to me, haha. Anywho, if they're planning on beginning mixing and mastering in March/April, I'm staying silently hopeful over a fall release *knock on wood*. Weee, love the tortuous months preceding a new album cycle!

Much respect,

True. But hopefully it's not just 11 tracks again, with the five others falling into oblivion. That would be a waste of creativity.

[N0S3BLEED976]

I'm curious how their approach to write less straightforward songs pans out. Hopefully it doesn't mean more Romantic Dreams and less Poltergeists. Probably does, though... :/

What I HOPE it means is that they try to some strange sound and less conversional song structure.

Yes, like White Pony. Just take the first song on the record, Feiticeira. It doesn't have a normal structure (couplet / refrain / couplet / refrain), it uses strange sounds. Almost all songs on White Pony are like that.

Since ST, I feel like they use more 'normal' structures. I'd like some more leftfield approaches. I'm not slamming the entire discography since ST, I love that album and Diamond Eyes and KNY as well (and I like Saturday Night Wrist), but some more 'out there' music would be great.

Anything around an hour would be great.  It can't be too long for me.  2 more hours.

I would agree about Feit - one of the more out-there strong structure, for sure.  It doesn't even have a discernible chorus.  I thought Diamond Eyes had some weird structures too - like Royal and Cmd Ctrl - it was hard to tell what's the verse vs what's the chorus.  Anyways I don't really care of they use weird song structures or not as long as the music is solid, catchy, and well-written.  Just because something is unusual does not make it magically better.  The underlying song needs to be strong.

The guy that posted that video on instagram is posting pics from in the studio almost on the daily. Any idea who this guy is?

[pony_01]

Deftones new PR maybe? hahah

[people are people]

I don't really care anymore what their new album sounds like but I hope they stop with the lazy song writing that's plagued their last few records. There's a few exceptions but mostly the songs have weak dynamics and settle for simple structures.   

Dumbest thing I've heard in a while. 

Don't beat the donkey inkblades though...

[Inkblades]

Huh?
