"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

[Shadow46/2]

My fav changes every couple of days. Now I'm obsessed with TSOM and think it may be the best on the album.
It wasn't even in my top 3 a few days ago. Man I can't stop bumping this thing. 😍

What the hell is going on with these preorders!? 

Has anyone actually got the cassettes or tshirts or hoodies or anything yet? Anywhere in the world? Mine have been in 'Status: Packing' limbo since Friday.

I'll be crying honey tears over the ledge at the lake until it arrives.

Received the 3 cassettes without the signed art card. There has been a delay with them.
Received gold vinyl indie from Banquet,
Also received CD from separate Deftones UK preorder.
Still waiting on everything else.

Have they said if they'll send on the signed art card later?

I still don't get this love for TSOM, I think it's one of the weakest tracks while Urantia is one of the best songs ever made by them. The chorus of TSOM is just meh, while the chorus of Urantia is really catchy and dreamy. I prefer Error and Ohms, and TLID over TSOM.

Thats strange to me bc Urantia isnt really a signature"Deftones song"imo. Sounds like Crosses. Thats interesting though.... i do like both a lot myself (Crosses feat. Steph)

Interesting info that Chino wrote and recorded completely different vocal parts for Genesis ("more meandering"), then started over and wrote what's on the record.

yes that was interesting. and that ohms was a demo steph sent chino three years ago,but it was waaaay slower. it was like plodding stoner song.

Interesting to see the poll results having the two singles as two of the least favorited tracks on the album; do y'all think Ohms and Genesis were good picks for singles despite not being your favorite tracks, or do you think there are better singles to be found on the album? Any tracks you'd like to see as a third single? Personally I think they'd be smart to pick Pompeji as their next, which is also one of the least favorited tracks on the poll, haha.

Yeah I'm a little surprised by that but then again the singles are rarely the fan favorite songs on their records. Ohms and Genesis are excellent choices as singles imo, they are both great songs but too bad they start and end the album... kinda ruins the album experience a little. I'd expect Urantia to be a third single but who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Draken]

I'd bet that if Genesis and Urantia were swapped as a single then Genesis would be everyone's favorite. That shit slaps.

[Drop-Dead]

The Spell of Mathematics simply is one of their best songs. I kinda hate to say things like that but seriously. What a composition. The 9-string rhythm is such a cool move. It's also amazing how they're able to use such heavy tools and still come up with a somewhat smooth song, in all its sonic power.

I've read a no to Urantia from you and now yes to TSOM, are we the only ones with JBL's?   

[LG95]

I did a song-by-song posting series on the DeftonesLive FB to help promote the album.

You need a job with their PR, dude.

[LG95]

Double pay for the dual role mate lol

Why? The title track became a favourite of mine after the album release.

Why what? I'm looking at the poll and the title track has 2 votes, Genesis has 5. If we had heard Genesis on release it'd easily be competing with TSOM.

Sir I agree

[only pieces remain]

Imo, Ohms is a damn good track but not a good pick for a single at all. Ruins the album experience, at least for me. Ironically, even though it's one of my least fav tracks, I think urantia would been the best choice for the first single. Heavy riff track with catchy vocal melody that isn't the closer. Genesis is fine as the second single I think.

[Drop-Dead]

Listened to the album twice, first time through a fairly solid pair of earpieces, second time through a small Anker sound system.

I don't really care to consume my music through a Bose X454546SSWREIK with jetpack propulsion-based bass booster. Okay, I sound like a dick, but better quality playing doesn't have much of an impact on my opinions I gotta say. I don't feel Urantia at all.

It was funny. never thought we would be on the same page about the new songs. Anyways I think TSOM is not a Deftones song, it's a new Deftones song. It's like TSOM is their new road to some kind of TDSOTM (The Dark Side of the Moon), how weird is that?! I think the band will take a new progressive/gaze/experientialism approach in new albums with some Urantias here and there.

[Drop-Dead]

I feel that too. And as for your Pink Floyd reference, the beginning of Headless with that "ambient" and Chino's faded shouts really reminded of some Pink Floyd.

Weird is that I don't recall them talking about PF in recent interviews. It's like an unconsciouness influence.

Chino actually mentioned Floyd in the Daniel P Carter stream someone posted a page or two ago.

That was weird. I was midthrough it and yes he comes with PF in the conversation. It was about Pompeji I think... and the seagulls/transitions. That was timing!

[Visionz]

God the second half especially of error is just heavenly. I dig it more and more every time I hear it really the whole album in that case. And then how it blends in to spell.damn that is the Deftones I love and can't wait to share with my children

"I love transitions. If you're making a record these days, everything's so single driven. If you're gonna make a record that's a piece of music—and it's not a conceptual piece of music, but the fact that every song can sort of transition to one another, when things like that happen; that takes me back to some of my favorite records of all-time, be it Pink Floyd or whatever..."  There's also mentions of "Floydian moments"
