pompenji. Chino basically saying if there's a Jesus/God, then he's abandoned us. like look at this mess, do something already. don't think he believes. me either, used to but gave it up 6-7 years ago. never heard him go at God like this, kinda dig it

also "this link is dead" is so cool, it sounds like WGTB's cousin or  little brother, lol. because how his vocal effects sound. the music isnt quite as heavy, but it's a banger for sure

not sure yet cause it's so new, but seems this might be the heaviest album they've made since ATF (but it's not always heavy like ATF and adrenaline. just a a bit heavier than s/t )

Heavier than S/T? In what way?

the music tends to stay more agressive, and Chino screaming on more songs, and no ballads. minerva, deathblow, lucky you, aoaue, moana, are all ballads/mellow. ohms is the most consistently heavy. but i'm not even sure on this, as i already said. it's too new to me right now

[Bergerac]

I forgot to say, the irony isn't lost on me that despite the trio writing sessions, Frank and Sergio seem to be present as fuck here.

First listen: it's beautiful and well structured, very different. Also the mixing is so good!
I clearly note an 80s vibe in frank's synths and chino's voice, in a good way this time

[Hidalgo]

i still think Ohms (Song) has the best riffs on the album. and i've made up my mind, the video is their best in my opinion (i knew first watch it was top 3 at least)

Radiant city riff probably 2nd best for me

loving the mix also, well done Terry Date. sounds really good loud (unlike Gore. i like the album, but wtf is that mix all about?)

Love ceremony. That driving riff reminds me of ATF and WP.. plus Chino is just gorgeous on it. Been stuck in my head all day. The perfect cruising song. Also love the second half of Error.  First half is meh tho...

I feel like a few songs try to be heavy when they didn't need to be. I wish Error was all the second half. No need for the abrasive guitar tones. Just make it a beautiful dreamy song. Same with Spell. I wish they were both mellow and dreamy but a whole time. But I can't complain. What a beauty of a record. Mixed so damn well. Thank you Terry.

I disagree especially on Error. I think the whole song's great. I love how bouncy the groove and the riff is, and I think the vocal melody is really cool. And it means when it switches up, the chorus and the outro parts soar even more to me.

Ceremony's chorus is so catchy

I'm slightly disappointed by the length of the record. I feel another song could have easily fit on it, especially that there is a good 2+ minutes of just synth.

I kinda feel the same.

What's so special about Pompeji ? Apart from the synths, the verse, chorus is repetitive, and vocals don't change much around.

I can say the same for TLID and Radiant City. I feel they could've have done a bit more with 'em. The repetitiveness really irks me, as if there no pay off after the build up

visual tracklist!

I really hope I grow to feel the same way. I absolutely love Steph at the end of the track. Some of the best 2 minutes of music they have ever done. Abe kills it too. Love it . Hope the beginning grows on me.

You've basically described pretty much every deftones song ever...

Or every song ever, really.

Do u hear that digital bath effect by Frank? Its used a couple times on the record i think

[buflen]

I'm going say something maybe sacrilegious, but as much as frank used to be too low in the mix, I feel he is almost too present on this album. *hides*

I do fully agree with you that the choruses and the second half of the song are the peaks. I think they'd lose the sense of release without the cool, brooding, bouncy build before.

Songs repeat sections. That's usually part of what makes them songs. I'd be more interested reading what you're not quite connecting with in those songs rather than a bland 'repetitive' criticism.
