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. 

I'm actually really digging that track.. I know this is weird but hearts wires hasn't really blown me away yet. It's a great song and I'm sure it will become one of my favorites eventually. Just need to get into it a little more I guess.

I can't figure it out. I adore that track. It has an upbeat Egyptian feel and then the chorus has guitar similar to HITE but better and with a much better melody. The bridge expands on both parts of the song and sounds soaring and victorious.....like the God he is worshipping has finally engulfed his soul. One ov my personal faves.

Whoever mentioned remembering a somewhat standard 96 and 128kbps quality way back, funny I was just thinking about that. I think one of the first times I heard Deftones was a 96kbps rip of Engine #9 from some fan site or something, Napster & Kazaa and all those weren't even around yet. Then in middle school, I was that dude telling everyone "dude you got the 128kbps, that's bad quality man" or "this is a demo" and no one gave a shit lol. It was all the same to everyone else. I'm not even sure I ever remember seeing any lossless around back then, or very very rarely at least. Anyone remember the extremely shitty RealMedia files? Really tiny video stream, shit quality lol. Good times.. Cassette dubbing was fun as hell too

Remember that time Lars Ulrich tried to tell the internet that using Napster to download music was stealing, when right there in the liner notes for Garage, Inc the band is reminiscing about sitting around each other's houses growing up, drinking beer and dubbing cassette tapes of all the records they couldn't afford?

Good job, Lars

** Pittura Infamante

I kneel at the altar
Carve your name
And hail to the gods
I've climbed your trees and I peeled your fruit
When I tasted your kiss

How amazing that you were sent
Like you were molded out of thin air
And I don't want you to disappear
But I want you to carry us out here

We sail through arc light
Attach the wings
And wait for the gods
We found your grail we drank your juice
And we tasted your gift

I will wait here a thousand years
I will choose to immerse in your eyes
I've seen the truth and I know your strength
I have watched your great ascent

Now we sing
Now we sing your praises
And now we face the sky

On top of the crux
I've climbed every rung
To bathe in your sunlight

I knee at the altar
I promised you I would stay to the end
I will hold and praise and feel your truth

Now let us drink to the gods

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...

[Lurid Vega]

NYRexall I am excited for you.

Me too. You have been reading all this praise for days now so I hope it lives up to the hype for you! Are you holding out for a good rip or until Friday?

On Friday, he will smile mid Rubicon..and just be like...daamn.. and be proud. There are so many subtle details none of us without full album quality have even heard.

Nope, going the distance until Friday morning. I took the day off work and everything, lol

I'm serious though, this whole thing is fucking surreal. I feel like I'm in a small village at the base of a great mountain, and all the townsfolk are filling my head about this big epic creature that lives in a cave at the top of the mountain, who's scary and beautiful and magical and oh so different from any creature before

and Friday I get to go up and meet him for the first time

rubicon is fucking huge man, its like KNY mixed with Minerva

It was stupid move really. Napster still worked for quite a while after it got "shut down", you just needed the patch. Then Kazaa and whatever else instantly turned into the new Napster. Not to mention IRC and everything else.

awesome. this song sounds so simple but just makes you smile after that 2 min mark.

I'm actually pulling for a 320 rip to drop for you guys, not only because so many people are dying for it, but also to read everyone's thoughts when they hear this in all (most of) its true audio glory

Hey man I'm really interested in specifics of the quality of this vinyl.
I really want to listen to the thing in full tonight, because I'm traveling tomorow. Tonight was the night I thought a good quality rip would surface haha my bad.

Are there distortions? Sound clipping? Cuts of any of the songs? Is the bass completely missing in some parts?
Or is it just really compressed or something.

Thoughts?

It was bad enough for me that it bugged me out after 2 whole listens. It's incredibly annoying having it right here and restraining myself from listening to it until a proper rip comes along soon.  I suppose it depends how well you like to have good quality audio, and how good your speakers are. There's a ton missing though in the vinyl rip. The official Hearts/Wires for example sounds wayyy bigger than the rip. I assume you've heard at least P/T already? Just compare the audio on each version and see how much it'd bug you.

IIRC, Kazaa was the service I used to get the 2003 S/T leak way back in the early days of downloading. I discovered so much good shit through those services, and am proud to say I always bought everything I dug and wanted to keep. I still do that, even to this day..

It might feel a little out of place. Surrounded by decidedly dark material, it sounds much more like the sunny side of Smashing Pumpkins - "Cherub Rock," "Rocket," stuff like that. I'd also compare the general tone to "Romantic Dreams," even though I think this is a stronger and more interesting song. Definitely not bad, but so far, not a stand-out to me.

[NYRexall]

What song is the "You cannot face the crowd" lyric from?

[RaptureWS]

Talking the leak in small characters is one thing. Writing one of the most triggering lyrics of the record in huge ones is another thing worse than spoiling.

Especially that particular line.......48 hours later and I still can't get over how good that song and the album is.

[ClevelandCaliRyder]

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

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.
