Gore

[rainnyx4]

Album still kind of blows. Never really feel much desire to listen to it. Haven't been this disappointed with a Deftones album since S/T. Never thought they could do worse than that, but this album might be worse. S/T at least had a couple of amazing songs (WGTB and Anniversary) that really stuck with me. The closest on Gore would be Acid Hologram and even that doesn't come quite close enough.

Stockholm Syndrome with an album.
Interesting.

Nobody's being forced to listen to Gore though lol

Deftones in general took a little while to click with me, I'm not surprised when they put out stuff people aren't feeling right away.

Well yeah you are. Is there another new Deftones album?

I mean, we waited a while for this and we aren't going to listen to anything else, we love this band. So we listen and hope.

Then we start to like things.
I found myself liking LMirl , H&W and PB.

Stockholm Syndrome via album is real.

once again, how come only two songs of that album . but, yeah, I also don't have the desire to listen to it (gore) . maybe make a playlist that puts the songs in between in a way that ... idk lol someone finish the sentence

Lmirl and Rubicon are five star tracks in my humble opinion.

Chino sheds light on LMIRL:

"LMIRL – it's an acronym, 'Let's Meet In Real Life.' I'm doing research online and seeing people go on dating sites – they'll say something like, 'Hey, let's meet in real life now.'

"The song itself – the underlying theme of that song is really dark. It's lightly based around suicide. That theme was very heavy in my mind when I wrote the song.

"I correlated that term LMIRL with this existence that we have now – it's not real. So if we take ourselves out of this, that is real life. It won't always make sense to other people – enough for them to put that together."

I figured it has a suicide feel to it like the lyrics "put a gun to my head.."

So it actually was intended as a dark song. Nice, I like that. It'll always be a serial killer song to me though.

Where did he say that?

I'm not listening to this album on repeat like I did at first. In fact, other than today, I haven't listened to it in a long time. And after listening to it today I've come to the conclusion that I'm very happy about this album.

It's still not better than my top 3 (ST, SNW, WP, in that order), but I believe I would put it just below them. It ranks 4th overall for me, which is a pretty amazing feat considering how late in their career this is (and the competition, I mean come on... those albums are just fantastic). It's easily, and by FAR, better than KNY and DE.

Good job again, Deftones. You'll never be what you once were, but I'm still pretty happy with what you are now. Keep it up.

I love Hearts/Wires an insane amount.

[HooiserBowhunter]

Is it just wishful thinking or do you guys think we will ever hear Crest? The mystery behind it being the initial first track to completely dropped from the album just makes me want to hear it more.

I want to hear all the unreleased songs, but I'm 95% sure we'll never hear Crest. They just don't do that anymore.

[rainnyx4]

If the song was actually studio completed with the vocals, we'll hear it someday. If not, then probably not.

it's incredible how the promotion of every album gets worse by the passing of time, this is by far worse than kny.

What's been wrong with the promotion? It's sold really well, it's got good reviews, it's one of the only rock/metal albums to have been acknowledged by the more mainstream press.

I realized today that by taking PI and Gore off of the album and treating PB as a kind of b-side, this album almost becomes a passable listen.

I have been pretty disappointed in this album since the outset ( espeically when P/T was released) and it seems like I am not alone.

I would guess it is at least 60/40 in terms of deftones fans liking the album, probably the most divided album so far from what I can tell.

I wonder how much the members of the band are feeling this disappointment from the fan base? Or if they are insulated from it since most radio personalities that interview them pretty much gush over them the whole time.

What do you guys think?

I remember being pretty worried when the first reviews started coming out and they basically amounted to: "This band rules, but this album isn't so great, but because this band rules so much, this album should be good, so we're still going to rate it fairly highly and recommend it." It was pretty clear that the reviewers wanted to say some negative things about it, but couldn't, given how great this band has been in the past and how much favor they've gained with the critics.
