I have only read the lyrics to Geometric and Pittura a couple times but I wonder if they are related. The themes are strikingly similar alluding to a female that is either a God or one that is viewed as a powerful human with deity qualities. So amazing......Two of my fav tracks musically too.

I think Chino said in a interview the lyrics kind of tell a story but not really or some shit.
I think it's by far HIS best work ( as far as lyrics) .

As a manager at an NJ Target I feel like I'll have a hard time not risking my job to get at this tomorrow

I think you'll be alright

According to one fan here, Targets in NJ were already stocking the album on their store shelves this morning. Just don't expect happy people when they start trying to buy it at the register

Boy, are you going to have your work cut out for you...

Hypothetically it would be so easy to snake a copy but it's not worth the risk. If there's one thing I know about target it's that everything is on camera. And it's only 3 days.

Also, I liked PT just fine on its own but when played with the album it's almost a different and better song. I know see why it was the first single and the album opener. I do hope to hear Crest one day though.

[RaptureWS]

Just read the lyrics to Acid and I feel they could be tied to Geo and Pittura too lol. The lyrics are a bit more vague than the latter two tracks but could still fit the themes of the other two if you wanted them to.

[RoyalDeftonicBoy]

Xenon
Acid Hologram
(L)mirl
Geometric Headdress
Hearts/Wires
Rubicon

My top tracks but still listening and enjoying so much all the melody around this album.

[guizz]

So, i'm staying strong and havent listened to it yet, except for doomed user and p/t. Waiting for a top notch quality rip, nothing yet i guess? I could listen to H/W but id rather wait to see how it fits on the album. man is this week long...

[ANattyRat]

Seems like a decent amount of people have Pittura more towards the bottom in their ranking list. Why is that?? What is it about the song some of you are not feeling?  I haven't listened to the album yet so I'm just curious.

It's the most un-Deftones-like intro ever. Once the lyrics kick in, it's more of their sound, but to have that music appear out of nowhere after Hearts/Wires is just surreal. I didn't like it at first, but the more I listened, the more I loved.

So I'm curious to know...

How many of you on SL are jealous of the fact that I've yet to hear any of this album, and will do so for the first time in gleaming, screaming high-quality audio? 

Not at all. For me, bad audio quality doesn't take away from my excitement, rather better audio quality enhances it. I had crappy £1 headphones for such a long time, when I finally got good ones and listened to Deftones on them for the first time, I was blown away by how much more layers they had. I COULD ACTUALLY HEAR FRANK'S EFFECTS! It was mind-blowing. So looking forward for that again.

The lyrics to Geometric Headdress are my favourite, they're mesmerising and really beautiful, cryptic. Reading the lyrics to Pittura Infamante, they're great too, definitely similar in concept. Some really excellent lyrical work on this album.

just a thought..where the FUCK IS THE 320?!!!?!!

I know you and probably everyone else who reads this will tell me there's no comparison here, but reading this line of yours reminded me of the first time I heard KNY and that stunning guitar line in Entombed begins immediately after Chino's long "Drives me wiiiiiiiild" line in Poltergeist. It was so jarring...so unexpected...and so perfect. Entombed is still my favorite song on KNY.

Those songs back to back, its like watching a bomb detonate and then witnessing the ensuing fallout.

[rageman02uk]

Yeah nothing but love for Pittura here, while it did not stand out at first. Whole album is great imo

Don't expect too much from that intro, it's nowhere close to entombed's beauty. The song is growing on me though. The whole album is a grower I think.
PH first part of verse (screamed one) soounds a lot like can't even breathe verse ("pushing you back but still you ain't gone", especially the final screamed one).

I guess I can understand that, it just hits you out of nowhere and sounds so different from them. But don't be expecting a sound like Entombed, it's pretty fast-paced, almost like happy punk-lite, haha. But yeah, definitely an unexpected thing when the music hits.

I don't know who you are, or if you even browse this forum and I understand everyone has their opinions. But thanks. I really needed that laugh today

lololololol

Is this on that Deftones FB group where all those attention-seeking high school girls post pictures of their ugly tatted up chest pieces and shit? I go on there sometimes and scroll for 15 minutes until my face hurts from laughing so hard

No actually. I think it was from the Blabbermouth article about H/W. You know, Blabbermouth, where the comments shit on anything that's not Indi trash* or Gojira.

Kinda makes the attempted censor pointless if I just give away where its from. But fuck it 

*Indi trash as in shitty hipster bands. not actual good Independent bands

[plagasx]

Must...have...high quality rip....NOW

[ANattyRat]

You know, I really love Adrenaline, but mostly I love how raw and almost-spontaneous it sounds. It's authentic and even then you can hear that they're not just playing typical nu-metal. But it's not a masterpiece at all. They had a lot to learn, and hell, that album is the most repetitive album they've ever done. They've never sounded the same since, they've expanded and grown from that point until now. And yeah, you know, maybe some people hate Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan because they sound so polished, largely-unaggressive, so far away from their roots. But if you don't like those albums, it's just because of personal preference. Because they have undeniably improved since then. Man, to say that their first album, the one that they made when they were so young, is their best, is...not really a compliment, haha.

Before I saw that I was actually thinking about asking if there's anyone on here with the "FIRST ALBUM IS THEIR BEST. NOTHING EXISTS AFTER THAT" mentality for Deftones. haha.

I understand everyone has their own opinions. And personally, Adrenaline is the only album of theirs that almost never gets plays from me. Probably because DE was their introduction for me (I'm not a real fan, obviously...  ) But the sound doesn't interest me at all. And that's not to say I don't enjoy heavy Deftones, I love Hexagram (although whether that fits into every body's definition of "heavy" or not, who knows) Adrenaline is just too repetitive with little to no diversity for my tastes.

Bladdermouth isn't nearly as funny as it was back in the day. There's actual moderation and FB accounts for comments now. But back in the early-2000s...man, there were some lowlife individuals populating their comments section. Some of it was hilarious, some of it was mean-spirited and some of it was just downright weird. I guess that particular generation moved on at a certain point.

I'll never forget the time Richard Patrick from Filter called out the Bladdermouth comment section in 2002 for being a bunch of nobodies. About six months later, news broke that he was in rehab and those comments sections were beyond vicious to his plight. No mercy whatsoever. I guess he sort of asked for it, but it was heinous..

This is an interesting interview where Chino touches on a lot of interesting subjects. Read what he says about Adrenaline, and how he feels about it today. It sums that album up perfectly.

Man, I don't even give a shit about most the stuff they post. I just go on there and Loudwire for ANY news on Soundgarden and Alice in Chains' new records. I need them shits as bad as I need Gore.

I watched a live clip of Cornell performing an acoustic version of U2's 'One' while singing the lyrics to Metallica's 'One' the other day and it was one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a long time. A Soundgarden/Deftones tour would be an interesting trek. Would be neat to see them get Kim to play on a track on a future album, too
