"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

[secretbandinsider]

I would kill for a track by track review right now, it would make these last few days of waiting so much easier

[ANattyRat]

8/10 in Metal Hammer. This part is especially interesting:

"(This Link Is Dead) is probably the most out-and-out brutal Deftones have sounded since When Girls Telephone Boys on their 2003 self-titled album. It's such a delight to hear the band rage with such uncompromising intensity again, so good in fact that it's the highlight of the record."

Well if that's not an incredibly exciting description for a song, I don't know what is. Damn, I can't wait for this album. I love track reviews and descriptions, they make me so hyped. I think there was one for DE and I remember just imagining what these songs would sound like based on these vague-ish descriptions. That and tracklistings in general are the two biggest non-musical things that send my excitement into impatience levels. Especially with a band like Deftones who have unusual and intriguing titles.

What's gonna be your ritual for listening to the album, guys? Usually I go on a drive for albums I'm anticipating but this time I think I might do some forest trail wandering.

I'll just be listening in my room on my headphones. I remember when we were waiting for DE to leak, and I'd been awake for almost 24 hours, refreshing the page constantly because we KNEW it was coming any second. And I'd finally decided to give up and get some sleep, aaaand of course the leak came out. I told myself I'd listen to it once, but instead I listened to the whole album like three times, so by the time I went to bed, I fell asleep to these brand new songs playing in my head lol. It was nice but I really hope I'm not as sleep-deprived as that this time around.

Have anyone of you guys received Genesis for download (those who have pre ordered the digital album from Deftones website) ? Or will it release the whole album on 25th ?

[secretbandinsider]

Waiting for SNW was the craziest experience I ever had waiting for an album. I was refreshing hourly for days and frequenting every thread, hunting down every morsel of info. Thankfully I've calmed down a bit since then

The video is meh, maybe I've just expected more.

rule #1. never expect something out of a deftones video. ever.

Sir, you're right

Wow, that's exciting. I'll still try to keep my expectations in check a little bit because I remember a DE review acting like CMND/CTRL was the most brutal song they had ever written (fun song, but no) and SL saying the Gore title track was super brutal (noooooo, lol).

Can someone help me with this please. I've asked twice in this sub and no one has bothered.

[Inkblades]

Nope, no email for a Genesis download.

If you pre ordered the record on iTunes it should be there. Not sure about others.

There are 2 ppl who respectfully replied to my comment, and they didn't come up with a pseudo smart answer like you have. So it says more abt your attitude rather than mine.

Thank you

Safe to assume Genesis is the heaviest song? If so, for those who have heard, are there other heavy-ish songs?

[BallZDeeP]

Thank you

I had that same problem. If its not showing up in Apple Music, go into iTunes Store and find the album.  Hit the LISTEN button up top and it will switch back over to Apple Music and show you the Cloud/Download link for the song

edit: fuck I didnt see that part about you ordering it from the website.

Word from the press is that This Link Is Dead is also heavy.

[ASTRO JACK]

Anthony fantano thought Genesis was absolute dogshit.  Guy actually got salty when people voted off mariah carey 🤣🤣🤣

[LG95]

Not having a dig but it's beyond me why anyone's interested in what one guy who doesn't even like the band thinks.

[Prty]

People share press and reviews about the band here alot, he falls into that catagory, there are plenty of others here who follow him, has gotten me into a number of bands and artists. Hopefully that explains things.

Edit: I don't think he has expressed his opinion on genesis yet, that comment may have been tongue in cheek, he recently retweeted a link to genesis however which I took as approval but I could be wrong.
