I cant believe i still havent found this. "Here, take this survey for a password and subscribe for 6months!"... 

Same. What doo doo.

I sort of hate all of you at this point. But that's just overwhelming jealousy talking.

 I've only listen to it once but this link is dead did absolutely nothing for me. I was actually really bummed. Kind of felt the same way with Pompeji ...  I think I just had to high of hopes for both of them.


It's a great record and I'm sure it will grow on me even more. It's definitely Stephen's record. Which I'm happy for him and I'm really glad that he got to showcase his talent because he is incredibly gifted and there's no doubt about it. For someone that is really not that experimental with the guitar he really shines on this record. His groove elements are so cool and the way he transitions it's just fantastic. But I really do miss Chino playing on top of him. In my opinion their best songs are them going back-and-forth on the guitar together like digital bath and Change ..

I love the start the the record. Ceremony and Urantia are incredible.  The second half of Error is perfect. Verses were meh..

Spell lived up to all the hype and I knew it would. Love the warm bass in that one. Sergio really shines this time around..

Radiant city and headless also sounded great. So we'll see how this record sinks in. There's too much going on for one listen to rank it or anything. All I know is that this link is that does absolutely nothing for me. I was very disappointed. I hope it grows on me.   

So glad they are back!!

The chorus on This Link Is Dead reminds me so much of one of their older 90's songs but I can't pinpoint which one.

Oh, I got it now! Coming baaaaaaackkk......arouuuuuuuuund the furr...

WGTB? I get that feeling

Don't really get a WGTB vibe from it. The "I'm filled up with true hatred" part sounds ATF-ish to me, like the Lotion chorus or the "coming back...arouuuuuund the fur" bit on the title track. It also reminds me a bit of Team Sleep's Iceache (the riffs) and Appollonia (the synth parts).

That being said, I don't think it's my favorite track. It's good but I'm digging the other songs more.

I thought exactly this, glad I wasn't the only one.

18 hours before it drops in NZ. Just wait...

Wouldn't that technically be a leak?  ... unless you live in NZ

listen to it on a nice system with subs...my dick popped out

[Far away]

Damn....NME gave it 5 stars, sure is a bold statement. I need this album now.

https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/deftones-ohms-review-2758739

Just read this and...

"This is music that would send the members of Papa Roach into an aneurysm. These are sounds that Limp Bizkit's Wes Borland – a man who has been held hostage in the aforementioned band for decades now – has been searching for all his career."

YIKES, lol...

[Far away]

I love Deftones but NME and the UK music press in general should really get off their dicks and stop bashing a genre that saved a major portion of their profession. Just my opinion.

I dont care about LB and PR, but I found that kinda harsh too.

[Draken]

Wheeey woke up in the UK to you all going crazy! I found it.... Not listened yet... SOOOOONNN.

Also, a reminder that Chino is on BBC 6 Music today at 12 noon UK time:

CHINO @chinomoreno in conversation at 12 noon on:
the new album 'Ohms'
the condition of the band in 2020
'White Pony' at 20 + the remix project 'Black Stallion'

Fucking hell, I just woke up. Anyone's got a link to that?

word, i wanna hear it too. Anyone here listened to it?

[E-Money]

Chino uses the word lake a few times on this record... interesting.. from earth to lake... 🤔

I've been getting that feeling on every song haha.

[RaptureWS]

I like it, but TLID is def one of the weakest tracks for me personally. And I adore WGTB. I don't silike TLID, but I could see it being the one track I skip if I am in a hurry to finish the album in the future.

[ghostofemilydickinson]

So I don't hate anyone anymore...


...and The Spell of Mathematics is easily already in my Deftones Top 10.

...also, Pompeji is gorgeous. As an ambient fan, that ending is chilling.

[Divided_Spirit]

Headless is so fucking dope. Prob my favorite so far. I LOVE that they took RISKS on this record.

[E-Money]

Headless was pretty sick!!!  Stoked on it for sure. Spell just slams. That song is 2020 Deftones

[Draken]

I know, wrong thread. This will ease out the patience a little bit.

aww boo, you should have held out with the rest of us!

"I'm not gonna listen to the leak, I'm holding out until the official release."

[2MoreHours]

Shout to everyone waiting patiently. You're the true champions.

I really wish I had you guys self control. But I learn long ago that I'm weak when it comes to Deftones. And No nut november.
Yeah, yeah, TMI, but hey, not like I could get any weirder.

i'm weak when it comes to them to. i don't wanna try waiting then end up dying somehow before i heard it, lol. could happen, so i listen right when i can

Lol.  Something in my head is telling me this will be the last Deftones album I ever hear but now I'm like, what if I die before it's released?  Might have to cheat.

Fuuuck this sounds too good to be true. additionally, a tsunami of praise is washing over you wherever you look,this place, other sites,and in reviews.
CRAZY hype .and on top of that - rainy4 doesn't like it, and LG95 is punching his monitor and kicking in speakers bc all the songs ain't pittura infamente,all good signs. i just know i am going to love this album.
