Gore

[ANattyRat]

I've never ever once had any problems with the production on a Deftones album. Not ever. I've seen people trash the DE production to no end, the SNW production, the KNY production. Never had a problem with any of those albums sound-wise, personally.

Not to sound like an elitist prick, but I can't imagine having an entire album listening experience ruined because you're fussing over every detail. People can say I can't hear or don't know shit about mixing/mastering, but in the end I'm still listening to Deftones albums with zero problems in regards to the sound.

Me neither, but some people are really big on that stuff, and have a really good ear for it. When people talk about how certain things sound in the mix, I'm just clueless, haha. Anyway, if none of their past albums' sound has bothered you, Gore absolutely won't either.

Ignorance is bliss, I guess? That must really suck for the ones who can't enjoy these albums because they're spending their entire time getting bent over the sound: "I can't stand the way Abe's hi-hat is so low in the mix! Album is ruined!"

Gwenudo, help me. I've just seen your signature or whatever, the "Was it like you dreamed?" and I can't remember what song it's from. I can hear the line perfectly but I can't remember the song or the rest of it, all I can hear is the damn chorus to Xenon, haha.

Honestly no deftones album has ever been produced horribly for me, but i can definitely tell when a song is alot more clearer than the other, but either version gets my fix, but ill always choose the HQ if i can, but i wont go as far as to say that an album is ruined cause small details lol now if a song came out and i can only hear chino and hardly anything from anybody else, i might be mad, but never happens lol

Thanks, it was driving me crazy. When you've got new music obsessively in your head, all the other, older music gets blurred for a while, haha.

If you've never had any problems with Deftones production before then you've got nothing to worry about.

Listening to the remastered album collection on shuffle and literally as soon as I read this, Rats kicked in. Good stuff.

When it comes to SNW, I love the whole thing but Xerces just does it for me more than any other song on that record. It's like perfect Deftones space pop. Riviere is not very far behind.

another review in a belgian newspaper:



"The crotch is no longer dropping

Near the end of the nineties I walked around in baggy pants which made me trip over my own crotch. I didn't do this to accentuate - or to compensate. It was called 'fashion' back then, well, it was called like that in the circles I hung around with. Scoring women was impossible - at least not the kind you'd want to remember - but it did look great when combined with a Deftones shirt. The only remnants of that trend is embarrassment, but luckily Deftones went on to create more music.
People saying things about a band like: "I knew them before they broke through commercially", whilst waving around an obscure demo, they’re so despicable!  And yet: I’ve adored Deftones since their debut album Adrenaline (1995). Having been influenced by bands such as Faith No More and Tool, the Sacramento quintet was quickly regarded as one of the pioneers of nu metal, a label they quickly tried to shake off by opting to experiment. They never dropped the ball, although some albums – like the self-titled effort of 2003 – were not as lauded with appreciation, not only by fans but by the band, too. Perky Koi No Yokan (2012) raised the bar ruthlessly high, and Gore does not go under. Negative outings by guitarist Stephen Carpenter did not come across as perfect promo material, however. He did not want to “start working on the album”, he shared in an interview. The direction – less heavy – was not one he wanted to go in.
Less heavy is relative, by the way. Doomed User offers a thunderously bludgeoning riff, the title track explodes after a minute and a half into a musical brawl. Time and time again, the leading role is offered by front man Chino Moreno. He focuses on his clean vocals, but schizophrenically explores his range throughout the rest of the songs. He breezes, grunts, snorts. Phantom Bride is bold, a bastard child that was audibly conveyed during a drunk date with Pink Floyd. Even Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell is included on the track.
After over thirty years, Deftones create a beautiful synopsis of their own back catalogue and use this layer to further explore the limits of rock. The intense feeling of constant menace keeps together the variation on the album. Teenage aggression wrapped in maturity, the perfect soundtrack for a 31 year old wearing a Deftones shirt AND jeans. That’s what my wife thinks. The baggy pants in the dark corners of my wardrobe? She threw those away.

4 out of 5 stars"

When are you going to be listening to Gore?

In the morning when I pick up the white vinyl. Will come home and listen to it on a pair of Grados to hear all these layers and nuances you dudes have freaked out about all week, lol

The best part about all this is that I have an...idea of what I'm supposed to be looking for, based on what everyone has been talking about, but no clue what I'm in for, sound-wise.

All's I know is that Rubicon, Phantom Bride, Hearts Wires, Headdress, LMIRL and the others had better live up to the hype you fuckers have built for them

Let this day sink in and enjoy it. The 8th Deftones album is officially here. We've waited years, through the delays, snippets, arguments, leaks and hype we've finally made it.
Feels pretty damn good..

*sees 10 new pages about "a complete remastered discography with extra musical features never before heard"

*sees posts about SNW being more "dreamy"

I finally listened to the entire album for the 1st time (apart from Prayers/ Triangles). I have no idea what to make of it yet. Funnily enough my favourite songs right off the bat were Doomed User and Geometric Headdress!  It was great reading all your early reactions to the leak, because I had totally different expectations going into this album.

This reminds me of SNW in the way that I never got that album on the first few listens and then as I kept at it again and again, it slowly became one of my favourite albums. I have a feeling it's going to be the same with Gore. Diamond Eyes and KNY I actually liked a lot on the first couple of listens and they don't mean as much to me as the albums before that which all took many many listens, even though I love those 2 albums. Basically, I can't wait to unravel this album over the next few days/weeks/months!
