Gore

[rainnyx4]

First three tracks are good, album falls off significantly after that. May be the album with the least memorable material.

S/T has previously been their most disappointing album to me. But it at least had Anniversary and WGTB, which are insanely memorable cuts. Gore certainly had a lot more effort put into it than S/T, but it is such an artistic misstep. No more 80s butt rock on the next album please.

8 zillion listens and still not a single filler track for me. End to end fantastic

Yup, It's one of the album that you must listen without skipping a song. The album is fucking good but hard to listen because you know you must have 40-50 minutes free.
Almost the same the feel I have for album like Mechanical Animals (Manson) and others. The songs heard with the whole thing are really good but a little bit weak if you listen to them separately.

The 80's were better, pure and simple.  I want a full 80's style album for the next one.

The mix is horrible.
If you can't tell that, I can't help you.

When I first listened through this whole album all the way through my ears were ringing and I wasn't playing it any louder than I play other music all the time. I think there might be something to that whole "this mix hurts my ears" thing.

It's a great album.

It's just brilliant isn't it? I get why there are some that can't feel it - it's a challenging record and it's definitely a different record to what they've done before. But anyone who thinks it's badly done or badly written is just plain wrong.

I just adore the fact that this band are, at this stage of their career, still writing new music that challenges a fanbase and explores new areas. You can take it for granted with Deftones because they're so consistently great but there really are so few bands that get to this point whilst still writing really good/great albums. Gore isn't up there with White Pony, Around The Fur or the S/T but it's a step up on DE and KNY and it's a great album for where they're at right now.

Of course there is something to it. It's fatiguing.....harsh. Even at lower volumes. Tinny and terrible. It pisses me off.

If you really want to get pissed: play the Gore album and then throw in Needles and Pins (amazing mix and wall of sound).

I didn't really get it until i played the first 4 albums back to back into Gore on a long drive. Now it's all I hear. The mix is just so awful. Also, the title track sounds like it was part of another album. Vocals are super low in the mix.

The mix IS bad, but Abe is a beast all over this thing. I think it's some of his best ever.

"Hey Matt, you fucked up Gore." - lol

Good lord.
The way he talks:
"I don't know everything about the details"
"I was under the impression....."
"I guess we had....."
"I think had a special mod, little channel mod, Ok. Five position thing"
"Whatever the biggest thing is.......is gonna be how big the thing is"
"I mixed the record as well. Um, I didn't start out thinking I was going to mix the record, um, I didn't start out thinking I was going to do the record"
"Regular scale guitar tuned down to god know's what"
"You listen to this record and the average listener is probably not going to know who's playing what"

I'm under the impression that he has no clue on how to record the Fractal.

And he calls Deftones, the Deftones.

Never said it wasn't . Just was saying I can still hear him do his thing and yes, he is awesome on this album.

Lol at that Matt Hyde interview. How they have not gone back Terry amazes me. Eros was the last time they worked with him right?
