"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

[2MoreHours]

I love the fact there is no consensus on the best song yet everyone agrees it's really good.  Cant wait to hear it!

[Gaz]

Urantia has snare hits that sound like gun shots, loving the loud big sound of the album

[helioscopios]

* The bass line and the guitar riff in ceremony are incredible !
* The way of singing of Chino in the chorus of Error remembers me Depeche Mode a bit.
* Radiant City : acidulous / stromboscopic song
* Pompeji : Hitchcockian song

[Yossarian]

By the way, this leak is definitely not quite optimal quality. Sounds good but a little sloshy on the high end. I've reserved myself to the one listen for this reason.

Facts. Official release will sound even better then

I caved.

On first listen I think Genesis might be the least good song on it. Which says something.

It's just an illusion. The whole thing in order is solid. I get what you mean though. I don;t pay any attention to the reviews....I wasn't expecting this shit though. It just so damn engaging.

True, I want to hear that low and high end less compressed. Abe goes off on some of these tracks.

He's definitely smackin' the tubs on this bad boy.

Those high hats on this 'This Link is Dead' will sound fucking awesome on the legit version. That's just one small example of what will pop way harder. I think even to the untrained ear this material has been treated well by TD. He's snuck in some raw style tonal qualities that are just...sick..

Ves fell asleep like a vampire holding his dual wielding ban hammers. He's long hauling it too. What a champion. Have to give him props for that.

What a day. My wife gave birth to our daughter and I get home to this news. :-)

Spell of Mathematics stood out on first listen.  Other than that I'll keep my initial reaction to myself. I'll need several listens to formulate my thoughts.

Can't wait for the vinyl to get here. I saw info about the deliveries being delayed in Canada, same for the states?

TSOM is never leaving my rotation, holy shit what a track! I'm in love.

My biggest disappointment with this album is Pompeji... Was not worth the hype. I adore the verses and the outro but the chorus is forgettable and the heavy parts feel forced and undercut the brilliant atmosphere the song had going.

Congrats on the baby.

Gold vinyl delayed in the UK. Had an email from Banquet.

Surprisingly the Kerrang review has the only slight piece negativity I've seen in any of the reviews (they still gave it 4/5):

With a band so universally adored as Deftones are it's almost an act of sacrilege to award their efforts with anything less than a perfect score, but while Ohms delivers on all expected fronts, it's in the unexpected where things fall just that little bit short. The unerring familiarity, the lack of surprise, and the near-flawless balance struck between all aspects of the band's appeal arguably works against it. You've seen them pull off all of these tricks before. But oh what tricks.

I must say from my only listen, I don't know how you can fail to spot new elements in this.

I had multiple out of body experiences listening to this album while my gf drove us up a mountain high af. And I'm not just talking about the mountain

By almost whole month or something ?? I just saw that one guy say it was OCT 21st or something. So no idea TBH. Might just be an isolated incident.

Trust me.... never listen to one review. Listen to your own ears + the people.
I agree with what you said though.
I've seen bands read a review of their album and not let that shit go for years   It's just one persons opinion.. yet eats at them.

It could be one out of 20 or so.  The good reviews go out the window when a bad one comes in.... even though it shouldn't matter. Yet for some reason ..... yeh...

Trust me I never pay much heed to reviews either.

Ceremony sounds like a possible single. So damn catchy

[B_S_79]

Goddamn TSOM is such a great track. The last two and a half minutes - fucking amazing.  what a groove.  This is immediately in my top ten favorite Deftones songs ever. (i don't say this lightly. i'm doing everything i can you find fault in this album lol)
