Gore

[RaptureWS]

Also, has anyone Shazam'd those other two clips that were floating around with the supposed Phantom Bride solo? They were the other two clips Chuck posted while Gore was being recorded. Only way I can describe them were two big Deftones-y riffs, but different at the same time compared to most of the other work.

Nosebleed did, said shazam didn't find

[sharinglungs]

Which may mean that they were not Phantom bride.

Asking them to leak it wont help. Ofcourse theyll say no, their jobs are on the line. They will eventually leak it themselves though after they find a way to do it discretely. Give them time.

[phil for real]

How can they leak it without getting caught?

[77years]

Tell them to leave a burned CD copy in a dark parking garage in the middle of the night

[pelican fly]

Not even gonna bother to listen to that Xenon clip.
Hole in the boat will probably be this weekend. Monday the latest.

Dont know! Just know if somebody does, theyre getting fired lol i think theres a way for them to code the songs for reviewers so when theyre uploaded it has their name, so good luck to the leakers! I may be wrong about the code stuff though..

[phil for real]

How do albums even leak now? lol

Review from german site http://www.plattentests.de/rezi.php?show=13042
I copy-pasted it into google translate, so there are probably a few errors.


The law of averages

Microsoft operating systems and Deftones albums have one thing in common: Lovers and less beloved releases alternate in history from. In Redmond it makes since fated Windows 95 that every second iteration can be left out safely. And since their magnum opus "White pony" in 2000, the Californian metallers met, especially with the experimentally broad "Saturday night wrist" and the self-contained "Koi No Yokan", the largest reciprocated love. But that should not be forgotten that the valleys inbetween said comparison show significant height differences: "Deftones" and "Diamond Eyes" were anything but black sheep in their discography, but rather more conventional, song oriented albums, leaving less impression than before. If disasters such as Windows Millennium Edition or even Vista were music albums, would be the equivalent of probably something of this quality. An uneasy sign yet for "Gore", the now eighth Deftones album, but all ladders and black cats are of course ignored for purposes of impartiality.

Chino Moreno shouts again significantly more than the overall quite restrained predecessor and particularly the quartet at the beginning of the album accumulate the metallic colored sounds. The harbingers "Prayers / Triangles" and "Doomed user" let words like "solid" or "routine" come to mind. In particular the first mentioned song is a very strange choice as an opener and would have made a much better figure in the middle of the album. However, Deftones were never a band who reinvented themselves on every album. The sound was always perfected in detail, tectonic shifts instead of sound renovation was and still is the motto. But "Gore" makes it harder than any predecessor and constantly side-steps in terms of songwriting. Although the four opening songs are ultimately convincing: A catchy entry into the album is missing, offering neither an immediate sledgehammer like "Rocket Skates", nor a smooth chorus in the likes of "Tempest". Hits? None.

From "Hearts / Wires" the approach softens slightly, the band leaves more melodies to their ever-present, atmospheric side comes to the forefront, but without becoming tangible. Unusual, but very well done are the decent hard rock riffsin "Pittura infamante" - including "Uhh" - and "Ahh" -chants that are discreetly placed in the background. For even more exoticism, the guest appearance by Alice-in-Chains-mate Jerry Cantrell on the albums semifinal "phantom bride" proves that even a guitar solo can fit wonderfully into the Deftones sound. A soothing moment after the uncompromising, complex title track, that leaves you burning with Abe Cunningham's inventive drum beat and Moreno's earth-shattering roar.

It is easier with each listen to like their newest child, if you gradually unravel the tangled threads and find out that especially after the epic (L)MIRL, every following song is superb. The sound is proven, the songwriting top notch - and yet can not deny that the great enthusiasm this time fails. A damn good album it has become, only missing the last shot of genius, which accounts for their previous masterpieces. From the experiments - so it is rumored - to have taken place in the studio, few signs are prevalent on the final product. That "Gore" could be described as their weakest effort in the past 20 years only further proves their consistent high-quality output. "Gore" is therefore an update, which brings change in small ways and should completely satisfy their fanbase. It's like whining about first-world problems, though. Damn law of averages.

That translation was horrid.  No offense to you.  I mean the man said Self Titled and Diamond Eyes were the weakest Deftones albums so I can't even respect him.  Two of my top three.  Still a good review.  Nothing but good reviews so far.  Love to hear they get moodier on the second part of the album.  I need this right now!  LEAK

[m1nusblindfoLd]

So confusing. So they think it is good but their worst album so far?

the new deftones LP is very interesting - super chill vibes combined with the necessary heaviness - hard to compare it to any previous work

Drew Beringer ‏@drewberinger  4h4 hours ago
the title track will make you mosh wherever you are as well

Drew Beringer ‏@drewberinger  4h4 hours ago
fuck man the 2nd half of Gore is massive - (L)MIRL/Gore/Phantom Bride/Rubicon is one of the band's best stretches of songs ever

Drew Beringer ‏@drewberinger  4h4 hours ago
and while I really like Prayers/Triangles it's easily the "worst" song on Gore
