Gore

[nineteen]

If anything, Gore shows you just how important Steph is to this band. He came in after the fact to do his parts and this album mostly sucks.

They need him to be a major part of the writing, or they will fail again.

They'll fail against your expectations, you mean?

"I didn't enjoy working on the album very much, it took me a long time to get used to the songs. When I first heard them I thought that the band was trying too hard. It took me a while to figure out where I was going to fit in"

Jim Martin quote in 1992 talking about Faith No More. He was gone within a year....those quotes sound familiar?

Holy shit. You're right, Steph is as good as gone. You should probably just leave the board for good. The band is now over. No reason to be here.

He was saying they were going to be done within a year of KNY releasing too. His crystal ball ain't so crystal clear.

Geometric Headdress is the Pink Cellphone of Gore. Just one weird ass song that takes really long to get into. I haven't yet.

[Dryalex12]

so for no real apprent reason. I thought what would Xenon would sound like if its chorus was swapped with Rubicon. Anyone else think it would song good?

[only pieces remain]

the above two posts make my head fucking hurt.

There is no Pink Cellphone on this album. If there were, it would be Phantom Bride (and that's reaching at straws). This album has no outlandish tracks, in my opinion. The flow is pretty good.

Stephen's real grievance was more due to the fact that we'd have these two-week writing sessions, and then we'd go away. We weren't hanging out, and that's what he was missing. He formed the band to hang out with his friends. So he was like, "We do this music and go home. Where's our friendship?" We got to talk about that later. It's all cool.

Yep sounds like he's all about the money to me

I think this was a safe choice for the 2nd single - smart move on their part : http://www.theprp.com/2016/05/27/news/deftones-choose-second-single-gore/

I feel like I can relate with Stephen on this album. There is absolutely no need for an 8 string guitar on this album. In fact, using an 8 string on this album makes it muddy and just...ugly sounding imo. G# or F just doesn't mix with the style of music on GORE imo. The production is disastrous... there are times when I feel like this is a band's first work and are having a friend record them in the garage. It doesn't even sound like a Deftones' album, lets be honest. Abe's drumming is awesome but its so poorly mixed (there are times when I can't even hear the kick drum and the overheads cymbals are so damn loud) not to mention chino's awkward use of reverb/delay on a few tracks. With that being said, there a few tracks on Gore I really like....but only a few.

Dead on.

The overheads are almost painful.

Will they release the instrumentals?

[pinata89]

I would like that

I would welcome "Crest" and outtakes from any of the post-Chi albums.

I would love to hear those tracks as well. Sometimes songs that band toss to the side are some of my favorite ones.

or maybe they suck worse

The more I listen to Gore, the more the following are becoming clear to me:

1. There are only really two songs I don't care for, PI and Phantom Bride. I love the first five songs, really everything about them, and then feel like the album hits a small speed bump. I would probably roll the dice and swap Crest (never hearing a second of it) with PI.

2. Xenon has grown on me like crazy. It's so catchy and the chorus reminds me of something, but can't place my finger on it. It's a far departure from what Deftones do in terms of atmosphere, but it's refreshing when it hits. I don't want an album styled this way, but as a one off it works for me. The drums and lyrics are tight and I hum the chorus more than I'd like to admit.

3. I think Deftones should go for vibes they have in (L)MIRL over the course of an entire album. I get that they're older and Chino won't yell/can't yell as much as he use to, but (L)MIRL gives me chills. The guitar in the beginning is one of, if not my favorite, moments on the record. Chino doesn't need to yell to be effective here.

4. Prayers/Triangles doesn't get enough credit. Oh my God, that track is a monster!

This x1000. Love that song so much, especially the first couple of minutes. Wish they'd play it live.
