"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

No no no no no no no... I was not expecting this at all.
The hype about this track was so much that I thought I would be underwhelmed by it.
This has exceeded my expectations by far!

They are sounding fresh and full of energy.

Well it's not a peaceful song at all

I find it optimistic sounding. Terry's done a fair bit of automation on this record..

Much better first impression than Ohms. This is what the hype sounds like.

I said this on discord so sorry for the repeat. Chino is screaming again. Legit screaming. And doesn't hardly sound strained like he did on Gore. I can't do this. These boys are firing. The buzzing at the beginning is like an annoying fly. For me it symbolizes the annoying talk of the poor mix of Gore. Then the song kicks in and blasts the buzzing noise out with that incredible mix and sound. Welcome back Mr. Date

Early Deftones is definitely one of the perks of New Zealand lol. Love the song, I feel like it's what they were going for with the last couple of albums but with with more interesting variation and better production to keep everything balanced in the mix.

god dam these descriptions have me holy shit fuck excited.

You sneaky Deftones. Mislead me with Ohms first, which is really good but doesn't 100% live up to the hype for album, then hit me with this absolutely overwhelming banger of a song. Wow

Bass sounds rich in the mix

Was not expecting that. Terry's influence is already in your face with just these 2 tracks.

All you've heard is true. This song is a banger. My only critique is the vocal mix. Too many filters to help Chino's voice. But Terry's magic makes it fit the vibe of the song perfectly. Just seemed a little too much at times. Other than that, yeah....exceeded my expectations and then slapped me around with them.

Genesis genuinely shocked me. I was expecting something softer and more ethereal to drop after hearing Ohms, but this was a very welcome surprise.

That was just great, god this week is gonna be slow.

Inkblades · Sep 17, 2020, 12:31 PM

Told you guys.

GR1X7S · Sep 17, 2020, 12:32 PM

Yeah,Genesis slaps. Goddamn!

Shells · Sep 17, 2020, 12:42 PM

When it kicks in with a BOOM of noise YESSSSSSSS

Excitement x 10000000000000000000000

Not gonna listen to anymore stuff until the album leaks/drops.

Any substantive comments on the song? Unorthodox song structure, weird time signature/time changes, solos, new sounds/textures, etc.?

secretbandinsider · Sep 17, 2020, 12:47 PM

the salsa breakdown took me by surprise

Royal · Sep 17, 2020, 12:54 PM
