Gore

[77years]

The faint intro (and esp the instrumental clip we heard last week), I immediately thought of the arpeggiated/delayed riff from the outro of Tears for Fears "Mothers Talk" for some reason... totally an 80s vibe... definitely plays into Chino's supposed love for ear-candy 80s pop stuff... the exploding wall of sound is fairly novel to me, not sure what may have inspired it but it's unusual and doesn't remind me of anything they've done which is good...

I absolutely LOVE the chorus and especially the repeating layered vocals... this is a technique to drive home the abstract lyric... I dig it... listening on headphones it is almost too much to take... just a melodic wash thrillcore insaneness... and it's catchy as supreme fuck

The moment of the bridge at the very end right before it transitions back into the chorus (roughly 2:15 to roughly 2:25) is like the moment the roller coaster reaches the top and you have to brace your ass... it's already my favorite moment of the song... listened to with extreme volume it's reallllly heavy...

I'm saddened to hear some neg reviews/reactions but I really dig the song and am very excited about Gore... give this track a few live incarnations and it will TAKE OFF... I'm already imagining how insane it's gonna be when Abe starts that beat live... where he alternates toms just before the chorus immenses upon you, it's gonna be SICK

I wonder if peoples' distaste for the chorus is somehow connected to the title of the song, if the friggin thing was called "Moron Dachsund Bell-Pepper Orchestra" or something I doubt people would be as unimpressed... maybe the title was some sort of compromise

Been lurking since DE and been a fan since early... yeah

One thing that surprises me is that the name of the song is Prayers/Triangles. The names of Deftones songs are very rarely a lyric too.

Bored
Around The Fur
Headup
Change
Passenger
Entombed
Lucky You
Hexagram
Beware
Hole In The Earth
Needles and Pins
Rapture
This Place Is Death

Oh yea man, very rarely

EDIT-Hexagram isn't in the lyrics. So, 15% of songs.

I guess there are a few more than I realized.  "Rarely" was a bad choice of words. Still only at 16% of album songs though

Isn't 'hexagram' printed in the lyric booklet though? I thought it was just something Chino screamed at the end of the song with everything else he was screaming, lol

But yea, fair enough. I was just having some fun with you 

[77years]

Some of Pale Saints "In Ribbons" and Catherine Wheel "Chrome" (like the heavy bridge of Broken Head) are obvious & welcome comparisons for me... love those two albums... immense, fast, overwhelming, with complex drumming

I gotcha I wonder if Hearts/Wires will be similar. I also wonder if Xenon will be an epic, sprawling track like Xerces (similar name and also track 7). Ugh I can't wait!

I wonder if Doomed User will be building on that Team Sleep demo or if it will just be something new entirely. And if Gore is over an hour. That means we're in for some longer songs than usual.

[RoyalDeftonicBoy]

Pre ordered and I met Stephen today!

What a nice day

[Jesus2Chino]

Spotify says the album is 1 hour, 3 mins and 38 secs.

Is this new info? If so Gore will be quite a bit longer than all the rest of the albums.

I think you've mixed up 'hour' with 'song' - if you go on P/T, it says '1 song, 3 mins and 38 secs'.

Have we discounted what this person suggested for any reason?? Is it stated anywhere that the album will actually be over an hour long?? I'd absolutely love it to be, but won't get my hopes up until I see it somewhere, haha.

Does anyone realize deftones uploaded the song prayers/triangles on their YouTube a bit ago?

[NYRexall]

I pre-ordered the 180gr "internet exclusive" vinyl album, like a sucker. I know a year from now, that shit will be available in mass quantities everywhere from American Eagle to Barnes & Noble

The hour-plus album length could be for a hidden track on the CD. Look at what they did with ATF and Damone

There's a guy in my BJJ class who looks just like Stephen, but with shoulder length hair

I'm not a fan at all of Deftones shirts that just have a big block of the album cover slapped on the front. If they'd have made a shirt with that sunrise over the ocean and the new band logo like on their splash page, I'd have bought two.

[NYRexall]

Also, that ocean sunrise band logo is officially the start of Deftones winding down to a mellower middle age. Kind of like Incubus did with Morning View back when they were still kids..

[plagasx]

I really hope the album has a deluxe edition with bonus tracks this time around. The covers for SNW and DE were fantastic.

[NYRexall]

So there's five extra Gore tracks still out there, plus the half-album of Eros stuff?

Just release everything as 'Sore' and be done with it..

[Capt Snow]

Lol I mixed that 1 hour thing up. Spotify actually said "1 song, 3 mins, 38 secs"

Sorry guys.

[kitesvera]

yeah no track lengths or album length in iTunes either. its all hidden, cuz its a secret
