"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

[from_musings]

Interesting info that Chino wrote and recorded completely different vocal parts for Genesis ("more meandering"), then started over and wrote what's on the record.

yes that was interesting. and that ohms was a demo steph sent chino three years ago,but it was waaaay slower. it was like plodding stoner song.

Interesting to see the poll results having the two singles as two of the least favorited tracks on the album; do y'all think Ohms and Genesis were good picks for singles despite not being your favorite tracks, or do you think there are better singles to be found on the album? Any tracks you'd like to see as a third single? Personally I think they'd be smart to pick Pompeji as their next, which is also one of the least favorited tracks on the poll, haha.

Yeah I'm a little surprised by that but then again the singles are rarely the fan favorite songs on their records. Ohms and Genesis are excellent choices as singles imo, they are both great songs but too bad they start and end the album... kinda ruins the album experience a little. I'd expect Urantia to be a third single but who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd bet that if Genesis and Urantia were swapped as a single then Genesis would be everyone's favorite. That shit slaps.

I've read a no to Urantia from you and now yes to TSOM, are we the only ones with JBL's?

You need a job with their PR, dude.

[LG95]

Double pay for the dual role mate lol

[Draken]

...

Why what? I'm looking at the poll and the title track has 2 votes, Genesis has 5. If we had heard Genesis on release it'd easily be competing with TSOM.

...

Sir I agree

[only pieces remain]

Imo, Ohms is a damn good track but not a good pick for a single at all. Ruins the album experience, at least for me. Ironically, even though it's one of my least fav tracks, I think urantia would been the best choice for the first single. Heavy riff track with catchy vocal melody that isn't the closer. Genesis is fine as the second single I think.

[Drop-Dead]

...

It was funny. never thought we would be on the same page about the new songs. Anyways I think TSOM is not a Deftones song, it's a new Deftones song. It's like TSOM is their new road to some kind of TDSOTM (The Dark Side of the Moon), how weird is that?! I think the band will take a new progressive/gaze/experientialism approach in new albums with some Urantias here and there.

Weird is that I don't recall them talking about PF in recent interviews. It's like an unconsciouness influence.

Chino actually mentioned Floyd in the Daniel P Carter stream someone posted a page or two ago.

That was weird. I was midthrough it and yes he comes with PF in the conversation. It was about Pompeji I think... and the seagulls/transitions. That was timing!

[Visionz]

God the second half especially of error is just heavenly. I dig it more and more every time I hear it really the whole album in that case. And then how it blends in to spell.damn that is the Deftones I love and can't wait to share with my children

"I love transitions. If you're making a record these days, everything's so single driven. If you're gonna make a record that's a piece of music—and it's not a conceptual piece of music, but the fact that every song can sort of transition to one another, when things like that happen; that takes me back to some of my favorite records of all-time, be it Pink Floyd or whatever..."  There's also mentions of "Floydian moments"

Thanks! I drew the avatar myself. I did one of Chi, which I'll have to post at some point.

Yeah, luckily I didn't listen to the singles before the album dropped, so I'm not taken out of the experience when they play on the record. That being said, I did have an internal debate after the first two listens if Headless and Ohms should have been switched in the track lineup, but I think they definitely made the right call with Ohms as the closer; I'm not sure I'd feel that way if I had listened to the track a lot out of context of the album though.
