I'll wait for a good quality recording before I finally make my mind up but at the moment I'm not that impressed. To me it sounds sloppy, and the bridge and outro riffs are completely random. I'm pretty opened minded when it comes to Deftones. I appreciate each album for being different but this is poor song writing. It lacks construct.

yeah- I don't hate the song but I feel like the opening verse is the best part... the chorus just doesn't do it for me, sounds strained but not in a good way.

I'm sure the album will have better songs than this, I wasn't a fan of tempest either.

I dont know how I feel about this track. Its no Leathers, for sure. I still dont like the prayers/triangles repetition. Its quite obnoxious.
The moment you stop trying to compare this song to KNY and DE or any other album really, youll appreciate this song more for what it is, which is Deftones, not a follow up album, a new record.
Was it like it seemed?...

Also waiting for a proper upload from the band's management before forming a judgement.
Honestly though I can already tell that it won't be my favourite track from the album.

I am actually going to try and go old school on this one and wait for the full album to be out there before listening to anything. Just wondering about the length of the song and whether or not they fell into their old lazy trap where the bridge is just one of the main riffs repeated in slightly different way. Also, any solos?

Didnt have the impact on me of a new Deftones song like Leathers did when it dropped. Not comparing. Leathers sucker punched me when I heard it and couldnt stop.

This song mixes a lot of elements from their past records. I think its fair to say this is a follow up of past writing.

No Solos and yes riffs repeat. length is about 4 min.

Is the bridge just a repeat of a previous riff?

No, it's mid-tempo low string strumming like at the end of the second teaser with Chino screaming over it.

I quite like it as well.  Looking forward to a better quality version though.

Of course. I don't think they release singles because they think they're the best songs. I think it's about choosing a song that will appeal to the most fans. They weren't going to release their heaviest, their softest, or their most experimental song on the album, you know? There'll be lots of experimentation, darkness, (hopefully) heaviness and aggression throughout the album. This song just happens to be the most typical Deftones, heavy-and-soft song, I imagine.

If people love the track, that's awesome. But if people hate it or are disappointed, I just think it's good to remember that this song isn't supposed to be the most extreme (in any sense of the word) song. Just a single to get us excited for an album that won't sound just like this song. There's definitely going to be more than this.

I think you're right. Although I'd like a nice lyric video, but again, I think that'll be tomorrow.

Yea, I kind of don't want to listen to a shitty radio rip. I'm trying to hold out for a better version *trying*.  I hope they at least put up the official audio on youtube or something. I would think they would do that today since all the instagram pics are up. Oh well...they probably won't.

It will surely be tomorrow. deftones.com has received several changes over the week, including a Gore section on both the store and the main site (with unauthorized access so far). And Chino's interview with BBC is due Saturday. I would be surprised if it happens otherwise.


EDIT : Ok nevermind
