Ohms: pre-release hype thread

[Papa Prune]

Well, as much as I like Deftones like all of you here. As much as I was disappointed by Gore (production wise). And as much as I would this new record to come out sooner than later, i just want to cheer with our 5 boys. I can be a troll on their social media accounts, but I just want to say thank you to Chino, Abe, Franck and Steph (and Sergio also but not on this one). Because I'll always remember that Chino gave us Smile for free on YouTube. I think the boys are like all of us, normal human beings with love of music. They are just tied up by their Pr bullshit/record company to greenlight the release. At this point, I hope they'll announce a surprise release, not the usual teasing, followed by a single track, then ruining the  experience for most of us. I'm fed up with this trend.

And since I'm French, you'll excuse me for my mistakes/bad English. I know our Americans fellows here who have tickets for their summer US run are still hoping. But know that their June/ July Europeantour is mainly cancelled. I Was supposed to see them at Hellfest. But it's cancelled. And Belgium and Germany shows are cancelled too. Spain and Italy are still showing, but they'll soon be cancelled. My fingers are crossedd for you Americans.

I really hope we do see Eros one day. Melanie, Smile, and what we've heard of Dallas are just too good to pass up official releases.


As for production on Gore, I actually dig it. I know that's the most common criticism, but I already listen to a lot of lo-fi alternative rock, so it doesn't really bother me. It even adds some charm to the songs for me.

I actually don't think Melanie's that good. Similar main rhythm to RatsRatsRats but the song isn't as epic, interesting or visceral.

Smile is incredible though and "Dallas" (if it is called that) sounds really cool.

Yeah Melanie is definitely inspired by Ratsx3. But I love that song and I love SNW in general, and I love when Deftones do their "beauty meets ugly" thing in such a stark way. Maybe it's a second rate Ratsx3, but it still sounds awesome to me!

And I think Smile is the best song they've put out since SNW.

From my POV, Melanie = Lotion=elite= wgtb=rats= poltergeist =doomed user.
I like this side of deftones . It's their mandatory ultra violent song. For me , lotion is a banger. Poltergeist and doomed user are good. Elite, wgtb and rats are meh. But Melanie seems really good, though it's something that you know deftones can write whenever they want.

And Smile... one of my favourite. What a song.... I do wish we could have a proper recording of it.

Melanie KNOCKS to me. I mean I can see the similarities to other songs (Rapture and Poltergeist, in particular) but that shit still goes hard.

I don't think it's safe to say next year at all. I'd say fall is a safe bet. Depending on how long Mixing takes... Mastering takes a day... then promo - release is at least 3 months

[Papa Prune]

Don't be that optimistic Vesanic. Mixing in April 2020= release in January... 2022.

Let's not forget deftones time is not the same as human time.

Two more years.

It does seem like they have been mixing for awhile, but they probably want it as close to perfect after Gore.

yea. Gore has good writing, and good songs, but bad production. doesn't sound good loud. Terry will make this album sound really good

[E-Money]

If they are mixing now it will definitely be out this year. Summer release for sure, maybe fall at the latest. Can't wait to hear what they do with terry. And hope the 9 string doesn't sound too chuggy.

I see this place received a makeover. Looks slick.

You may think you understand, but you don't. Don't get butthurt. Some may judge it as hate speech, I'm just stating the obvious. Don't take it personal.

[sharinglungs]

I think Chino's had the biggest audience yet. 4300 people watching right now.. shit..

[Itmakesyoufly]

has anyone noticed the unfinished whiteboard with 10 songs and the loteria cards as song tittles on their IG post from 4/14 ??

[Inkblades]

Yup, can't make any of it out though!

[Roidragee]
