Gore

[LG95]

It's way more than 60/40 in favour. I think quite a few of you are missing just how well received Gore has been by and large - press (even mainstream), hardcore fans, casual fans, even people who have only recently discovered Deftones (of which I'm aware of a few). There are a few more dissenters this time, and probably stronger dissenters because Gore is a hard album to get into in some ways; the individual songs are less explosive, it's an album that unravels gradually and it's also a comparatively soft Deftones record. It's only natural that there are stronger voices against it than there were for the albums before it.

However, to say it's 60/40... I mean that's a massive misunderstanding of how large fan bases tend to react to a band's music. You'll generally find when a band releases a new album, a substantial proportion of fans will like it regardless. I mean look at the likes/dislikes on Youtube for Prayers/Triangles - there were people saying when the song came out that it had quite a few more dislikes than would be usual for a new Deftones track and indeed I think there were a few more voices expressing their dislike or indifference to P/T. Yet despite that, there's still 30 times more likes than dislikes on that video.

Of course I'm not drawing my entire conclusion from the likes on a Youtube video but if you think it's 60/40 then you're not understanding how these things work. Unfortunately, the internet does that thing where it makes a whisper sound like a roar and so if you see four people on a reddit thread saying they dislike Gore then it can seem like the opinion is massively split when in reality it isn't.

Yeah look anywhere other than this board or reddit and you've pretty much got universal acclaim. I've read maybe one single negative review among dozens of positive.

I still listen to the original Gore teaser every now and then. Even today it still gives me chills

A few months since Gore's release and I still dig the hell out of this album. I love Prayers/Triangles, Acid Hologram, Geometric Headdress, Hearts/Wires, Pittura (a grower, not a shower), Xenon, (L)MIRL and Rubicon. Play them all the time. I still have some qualms with Doomed User, Gore and PB, but I can look past their issues and enjoy those too.

[LG95]

Yeah I still love it too. I think they really got a lot out of it by recording everything in order - you can tell by the way it flows that they thought through the track order early on and some of the transitions going from one song to another are mightily good. It all just works so well as one listen.

Yeah, still loving the album. It's got a great flow to it. I usually have my music on shuffle, and whenever a song from Gore comes up, I have the urge to play the song that comes after it because it just flows from song to song so easily.

I want Crest.

Well, maybe that guy that provided us with the instrumentals last time can help out. I'm about to post a much better quality instrumental of Cherry Waves + the multitrack stems.

I think Spotify might genuinely be using the vinyl leak of Acid Hologram. Night and day the difference between the Spotify version and the CD one.

Just throw Crest on a quick cd with the finished tracks from Eros. Also maybe throw Lovers, and a few other B sides from other albums so  we can make a party out of it. We will call it B-Sides & Rarities Vol. 2 hahaha.

Oh my god. Don't tease us.

[Knucklestones]

I have a feeling Crest is what we heard in the snippets from the merch store back in 2014-15.

According to their Instagram post they have something special planned for the July 31st show

[LG95]

Wonder what that could be?
