Gore Elimination (round 7)

[from_musings]

i meant that was a typical Vesanique answer, and that's why we love him

[LG95]

Hahaha musings you're one mystery, mate.


I'll give you atrocious was harsh and subjective. But that hook was so promising dude, I felt betrayed, ya hear? 

Yeah, I get why you don't like it. It develops in quite a weird way, that song; like it promises one tone/idea, then shifts along and does the same with the next part. I personally really like it but, like most of the album, it almost feels like there's a concerted effort to avoid any kind of immediate atmospheric/emotional peak.

(L)MIRL really has my favourite chorus and is my fav song on the album. Can't help it. Doesn't sound happy or lighthearted to me, either. Has a longing feel to it that makes it pretty beautiful to me.

That's pretty much why the whole album works for me. You have to really soak in it but to me it feels like there's a lot of unstated depth and there's something about that that makes it a great record.

LMIRL's chorus is fantastic. That being said, I have just voted to eliminate it, regrettably.

[Hidalgo]

the chorus to lmirl possibly talking about sailing out & blowin your brains out off the side of the boat falling in the water? (so i put this gun to my head) first sailing, then slipping into the waves, then deep into the waves

fits most of the dark themes on the album. that's my take on it anyway

[Hidalgo]

when are you doing your review ves?

[Hidalgo]

nah, i confused this topic with the one i talked about doomed user in. derrrrr

[The Cyndicate]

If you want (L)MIRL to live, you had better vote for Acid, they are 4 votes away and MIRL is about to lose.

If that happens, that's disheartening.

[Braincleaner]

Acid Hologram is too good to go!

[LG95]

That's why I think this is taken out of proportion. You're pretty much recognizing it because it's not immediate and there's no real peak. You enjoy the "subtlety" in it. I get it. And probably, you think I don't like it because it doesn't stack a shit ton of layers with Chino screaming his head off. Which is a mistake, should you know.

I certainly wasn't thinking that the reason you dislike it is because "it doesn't stack a shit ton of layers with Chino screaming his head off". I totally understood why you dislike it, which is precisely why I referred to the way it starts with one idea and then shifts onto the next before doing the same thing with that. In other words, I was well aware that the reason you're not keen on that song was because you don't like the multiple left turns. I never made any direct criticism on that point. The only thing I criticised was your description of the chorus as 'atrocious', which you then admitted was over the top. I haven't tried to argue that you should like it.

[LG95]

All this discussion about (L)MIRL; I've had that chorus swirling around my head all evening!

5. Phantom Bride
4. Acid Hologram
3. LMIRL
2. H/W
1. Rubicon

[only pieces remain]

Phantom Bride was one of my favorites when gore first leaked. now its one of my least favorite. i dont like chino's vocals, too poppy and the end riff and solo are uninspired 

[E-Money]

I love Phantom Bride and I love LMIRL. To me deftones are totally changing it up on these tracks and that's what I wanted from this record. Something new. Really hope they play Lmirl live.

[ANattyRat]

Yeah, (L)MIRL. This chorus is atrocious.

I don't like the chorus, but the rest of the song more than makes up for it. The chorus sounds too happy. I used to think all of it except the beginning sounded happy, but it doesn't. It does sound very dark and hopeless, but the damn chorus keeps coming in and interrupting that mood throughout the rest of the song.

[sooniletugo]

Haha, the chorus makes the song. It sounds happy, but it's dark shit mayne. He's finding peace in suicide.

[from_musings]

lol@lmirl

stick a fork in it, this turkey is coocked!

[wkcwkc]

I'm voting Hearts/Wires guys...

Go ahead, I put the flame suit on.  I love the intro, but I think the rest of the song is just so-so.  It's not bad, but tt's the only song on the album that I album that I am just not really getting into. 

Acid is one of the best, if not the best, song on the record.

[IN WAVES]

Acid Hologram must be the consensus best song on the album, from what's left!

I stand corrected. lol  It's near the top though.
