Gore Elimination (round 1)

[kleptoned]

Cant seem to enjoy xenon. Dont hate it just doesnt flow like the rest to me...

[laurapalmer]

Yeah voting Gore, doesn't do anything for me

[snw9]

Xenon, I just can't get into it.

Why was Gore voted???

I agree with Chino.  I think it's probably the weakest track on there

Gore or Xenon?

Gore.

I don't consider Gore weak, it may not sound as pieced together as Xenon but at least it has a flow and great lyrics

[Cullision]

Pittura and xenon are the worst 7 minutes of this album, but if I had to choose I'd say xenon is worse. I can't find anything redeeming in it at the moment. Pittura at least has a couple parts where it isn't atrocious.

I do love the lyrics!  Even if the songs on Gore aren't exactly the best Deftones have to offer, I feel like I can safely say that Chino has never been more poetic in his lyrical content than he is on this album.  I'm not saying his vocal melodies are the best either, I think he's done much better in the past.  But s far as the lyrics themselves, top notch all the way through.

I love Pittura too. Shame it's so exiled here lol. I voted Doomed User.

See and I really like Doomed. I feel like if it was left off and people heard it later on, they'd say this is hard! Should've been on the album!

Agree...

[HooiserBowhunter]

Might as well close this one down the people have spoken haha. Looks like Hearts/Wires will take it all.

[SomeOf]

Bye bye Xenon.

[lungdamage]

I don't get it!  Pittura is like the second or third best song on the album, guys!  Why hast thou forsaken me?!

haha yeh, what's next Acid Hologram, you savages!

[dopeybanana]

I'm taking all the hate for Pittura very personally :p. Seriously, the song structure is very different for Deftones and that transition towards the end (around 2 :15 ish) with Stef's technical riff is just glorious. If anything, Geometric Headdress should be getting the axe for how repetitive it is.

[LG95]

I'd understand it if this was done on everyone's first listen but at this point there's no excuse for saying Pittura Infamante is the worst song on the album.

[Penicks]

definitely geometric headdress, there's nothing to the song and the chorus reminds me of something on diamond eyes

[TheyCallMeP]

After a few listens, Xenon is no longer my least favorite (2nd least). Sadly PI is. It's not bad, it's just too cheerful for my taste. Chino is happy, the instruments don't have a dreary sense or dissonance to them. I like the contrast. Not for me.

That being said, it is cool to hear Steph's guitar work on this. Very Smashing Pumpkins like to me during the section with the hammer-ons.

[TheyCallMeP]

Yeah voting Gore, doesn't do anything for me

That's what I get for talking on PI and Xenon haha. Gore is a Top 4 track for me. Very curious to see what #1 will end up being.

[lungdamage]

rubicon or hearts, will prob win it seems.. I really like acid hologram

[sooniletugo]

Pittura Infamante may be first out of the game, but it's nice to know that others appreciate its greatness.

[deftones47]

Just voted for Prayers/Triangles. I'll probably have to give the album more listens before I vote in any further rounds.

that riff is fairly technical. makes me thatmuch more irritated that he'll never play the PB solo. he did one on butching the beatles CD(i feel fine), sol invicto -unidose, deftones "answers", goon squad (sorta, i dunno if it's Stef or Chino), dallas (eros song), & various youtube tinkering around solos. so he can, he just won't & it's frustrating

[WPHexa82]

Pittura, Acid and Geometric seem the weakest tracks to me
