"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

[LG95]

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*

WASH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH OUT!

(You might be right, I haven't let this sink in enough to decide whether that might occasionally be the case here).

May have said this but damn Pompeji is a straight up Deftones banger. In my top ten today. My go to

[Inkblades]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Chino hits some pretty high notes after the first chorus that I wish he did again later in the song. So my criticism of Pompeji is it actually isn't repetitive enough.

Is it Frank or guitar on Ceremony's bridge? Can't quite tell.

Theres always those pick drags either mixed with that effect or its one or the other.... they r both "related" in my head if that makes sense. U talking abt that digital bath/white pony effect right? Same one in Pompeji?

[ToneDef]

I like it. Happy it's heavy and dark. Impossible to form an actual opinion right now so I'll leave that to form over time. The standout for me on a first listen is The Spell Of Mathematics. It does irk me that as Chino's vocal range gets worse over time, he insists on trying to be more ambitious with it. He ain't pulling half of this shit off live. But yeah, quite happy with the album on a first listen. Very happy to hear Stef getting involved.

[Visionz]

Radiant is the track thats really been a grower for me. Im digging it. The main riff ah, a little idk? Love tje chorus and especially the second half. Im getting a feeling that im enjoying the "2nd half" of a lot of these songs more than the first. Its like 15 songs in 10 with a few interludes even though i only listen to it in whole. Cant wait to have it play through with no pause in between on vynil or cassette. Especially excited to play a deftones tape! btw, havent forgotten that genesis to me is one of the best Sergio era songs thus far along w Pompeji and TSOM. Like most it

Yeah, the part where Chino sings "The world we share was never there". It does sound a little bit like the Digital Bath water drip effect, so I guess it's Frank. I was thinking it could be a guitar with a crazy effects pedal.

The Ohms video has hit 3 million views. Genesis video is about 15,000 views away from 1 million. It'll get there. They also posted something about a "visual tracklist", so I guess they are doing a similar thing to the DE/WP anniversary Youtube video visualizer thingamajigs?

Not that I'm impatient or anything. I'm thoroughly enjoying this new album, but also curious when we might hear the two other tracks they recorded for this album.

It's in 3/4. You can waltz to it.

It's gonna be released on the same day Crest will.
and by that, I mean never.

[Inkblades]

Abe is awesome on the end of Error.

They recorded/completed 10 tracks only from what ive read.... where did u get the 12 tracks recorded from? Hope i missed something

[Visionz]

So WEIRD. As im reading this... im hearing just that! Awesome

[Visionz]

I love bow Frank is just present enough on Radiant chorus to give it the perfect emotion. It "steers" the sound in the right direction.

[Visionz]

Wish i could move by a "lake" and get so inpired from it that i write a great record and all my fans are satisfied.  Jk couldnt help it.

Still getting a "late in the career/ comeback record sound" from Janes Addiction. A lot of the music. Like Ceremony for example. The beginning jamming anyways and then they transform i nto Deftones 2020. Not a rip off, just reminds me

[E-Money]

Beyond the gates outside the grid
We follow in your grace
But someday the clouds will break
And we'll all drift through


I love this part at the end of Error.. 👌

anyone wanna post the booket/pages/back of the cd, etc? or would that be considered foul play? cause i gotta wait until sept 29th for my cd(slow amazon is pathetic in this case, i pre ordered it the 4th with 2 day shipping, and they still couldn't figure it out), and i like ruining the surprise

[Slacker]
