Gore

[Mr Blonde]

Personally I'm kinda split between Around the fur and Koi No Yokan lol but I seem to be one of the few here that adored KNY.

Count me in, too. ATF and KNY are my two faves of theirs. Really hopeful that Gore will overtake KNY though, based on what people here are saying about it..

You were great in Miss Congeniality

Does anyone else feel like Sergio-era Deftones has had the same trajectory as Chi-era Deftones did thus far?

Hear me out:

You could say that with Diamond Eyes the band hit the reset button.  They went back to basics, back to the simple and straight forward.

Adrenaline was this way, I feel.  Very simple minded.  Solid, heavy, but just simple.  This is how I see DE; simple and basic, but till very good in its own right.

Around the fur, much like Koi no Yokan, didn't really do much to expand their sound.  Rather than expand and change their sound, ATF and KNY saw them perfecting the sound established on their respective previous albums.  They both took that sound they had on that previous album, and molded, shaped, and refined that sound.  But all in all, no major stylistic changes were made between these two albums.

Now we come to White Pony and Gore.  Completely left-field, totally different from what they had done before.  A big big, yuuuuge change in sound and direction.  Also both very polarizing releases, with many people who do not like the new direction, but with many many more people welcoming the changes with open arms for their genius.

I wonder if the guys are aware of the striking similarities?

Hearts/Wires sounds like Palms ft. Stephen Carpenter.

Yeah, it sounds amazing to the human ear. Anything else?

Please god. I need that 320 rip. I can't take not listening to it anymore.

I don't want to ruin it with the fucking shit quality. :/ :/

Someone must have this shit.

Chill out, dude

You live in Australia. It's Friday over there like a fucking whole day before it is in the U.S.

You waited this long...why ruin it on some shitty 320 rip when you can have the vinyl or FLAC in just a couple more days, ffs

Good point! Just fookin excited bra. Haha

So when it's Friday over there but still Thursday here, you're going to log right in and upload that 320 rip for everyone, I'm guessing?

If this is the WP of this era, i will die happy hearing the S/T😛

Does anybody else think (L)mirl is about Chi?

I thought so too

Or a breakup song

I agree going back and forth with it.

for sure is not about chi, is a very pesimistic and hatred song, and cant believe how look a like to the pod of hum it is.

Oh wow..

[phil for real]

Pitturas opening riff is so Smashing Pumpkins.  Really enjoy this track.

[NYRexall]

Rubicon extended a few minutes by a jam on that last bit would be a sick encore

lol remember when that fake tracklist time was floating around last month and Rubicon was like 8 minutes long and LMIRL was less than 2

I was thinking the same thing.

I was actually hoping for one more album, representing the S/T of the Sergio era, and then Eros to become the second SNW.  From what we've heard of that album, it does sound a lot like SNW.

[NYRexall]

I would love to hear What happened to you.. Live!!

lol yup

[phil for real]

I don't really understand why everyone wants Eros so much.  It's not even close to being completed.  I honestly think it'd be a little underwhelming as well.  As much as I hate what happened to Chi, I think as a band and musically it completely rejuvenated them.

[NYRexall]

Gore, Phantom Bride and Rubicon back to back isn't even fair lol

The way people are talking, this three-song stretch is the best thing on a Deftones record since ATF's blazing mid-album run of BQ&D, Lotion and DTF

I would add (l)mirl to the front of that list

Yeah one of the best tracks they've ever written imo.  That chorus is huge and massive.  It feels so warm.  Beautiful.

I think, despite Chi's accident and resulting death being extremely tragic for the band, fans, and his family members, that it did have a rejuvinating effect on them too.  But I still want to hear Eros eventually... why wouldn't anyone want to hear it?

But lets not go down this path right now, we all seem very happy with Gore.

The last 5 tracks are really very stellar.

No doubt. 

[phil for real]

Yeah I'd personally rather have the band write entirely new albums than release Eros.  This direction they've been going since Sergio entered the picture is amazing.

[NYRexall]

Pittura Infamante should have been the lead single. Seriously.  It would have fucking trolled Deftones fans so hard. Can you imagine if that song would have come out in place of P/T. 

We would have been expecting an album of metallized Italian folk music.

lol wtf
