Gore

[only pieces remain]

yup

[The Cyndicate]

No.

Was this for me?

I don't even know, lol.

[sooniletugo]

shit, wrong thread

[chuckles]

PB and H/W are the Gore versions of Rosemary and Tempest.

if that's true, Gore won by 2-0 in that ballad contest

"You smother me in shapes in a secret praxis", these instrumentals and vocals are straight up MBV

I definitely get that shoegaze vibe from this song as well. It's definitely both on equal parts of the instrumentals and the vocals. It has that wall of sound to the guitars that make the song feel like it's swaying back and forth (if the opening riff was Stef's doing, kudos to him). Chino also has that dreamy, low intensity vocal style on this that contributes to the overall mellowness, though it's crushing. I'd describe MBV the same way, mellow but crushing.

One thing I love about KNY (although the substance isn't always there) is that it gives me this feeling of romance like none of their albums quite do the same. Acid Hologram definitely gives me the same feeling, but with all the quality songwriting to back up that atmosphere. I've listened to Gore tons of times over, and I always gravitate to this song the most.

Acid Hologram is probably the most interesting track on the album. I don't quite know how to describe it, but I'm like you...I gravitate towards it, and I'm not sure why. It's hard to dissect, and I like that quality about it. It's not my favorite track on Gore, but it's memorable for sure.

I wish Jerry Cantrell would have played on Acid Hologram, which I think captured an AiC vibe. I'm not saying it sounds like AiC, I just think that JC's unique tone would have fitted that mood perfectly. Very Facelift (AiC's first album) kinda vibe, in my opinion.

Phantom Bride's outro is mind blowing, 100% Jerry Cantrell with beautiful contrast coming from Steph. I don't like the rest of the song though, unfortunately. It just doesn't stick out at all.

Something about the "rock n roll" quality of Phanton bride is at odds with Acid hologram and its car-crash middle noise section and the ending chorusy return, which I love.  2 totally different & new moods

The 80's butt rock stuff (like PB) on Gore sucks. There are a lot of tones and styles to take from the 80's but the butt rock stuff was terrible then and it's terrible now.

Butt rock started in the 90s. PB is 80s metal

As far as I know, this "butt rock" term is a new thing millennials seem to have come up with, or are using in a trendy way. It's as bad as the claimed "butt rock" you don't like.

It comes from a late 90s/early 2000s rock radio campaign with the tagline "Nothing But Rock." Stations would run that and start playing stuff like Nickelback, and people made a joke of it. At this point it doesn't really mean anything most of the time it's brought up.

That seems like it would be regional.

I was touring during that time and never heard the term at all.

I know this is a well established fact but man, the phantom bride outro is heavier than a neutron star

Absolutely love that track. Hope they play it eventually.

Hey guys. I see a few of us havent been prosecuted or sued so on that note..wsup! How are you all?

No way! Rosemary is a masterpiece, PB (except for the ending) and H/W are fucking uninspired dirges. H/W doesn't even have a decent melody in the verses. Chino sings "nothing to sing about" and makes me believe him. It really is the most lazy uninspired song I've heard from Deftones, apart from (L)mirl.

[Gore]

Really enjoying the rest of the album but those three bore fests as well as the crappy, grating effects on Chino's screams stop it from being something great. Acid Hologram and Rubicon are awesome.

No drones outside my window. 

Been trying to learn the bridge guitar riff to Pittura Infamante on bass

[pinata89]

Guys, I fucking love Gore, don't get me wrong.  This new album is so much more refreshing than DE or KNY, in my opinion...

...But I go back to Self-Titled, and it feels like losing my virginity again.  I attribute the majority of this feeling to the mix--- #BringBackTerryDate
