It's awesome.

And, maybe i'm crazy, but the download version that NOS3BL33D posted sounds better, and cleaner...

Holy shit! I just listened to the song with the same headphones but used NOS3BL33D's version and it addresses my bitchy post from earlier! Strange...

Totally

Those vocals on the bridge... what range and contrasting the plunging riff... The architecture of this song is perfect, not a second is wasted

[worship]

Fuck it I gave in!
I hear A LOT of Bad Brains influence. I'm I the only one?

I don't know what to think, I think I'm in love with the song. Not going to listen to it again though.

I think there's some sort of placebo effect going on here. The file I posted is the exact same from the website's stream. So it should sound  just the same, haha.

I want to say its because its the source WAV file.. But not sure, does sound better though, nice find Bleed!

Well I listened to it on my phone first, then on my laptop. Does that make a difference?

Also, people seem to go apeshit on reddit hating the new track. I honestly don't get it. While I like Prayers/Triangles more I thought this one is a total crowd pleaser for those who were on the fence with DE and KNY

Probably. Maybe your sound card on your laptop has a higher quality output than your phone

[phil for real]

Yeah I like this much better than Prayers/Triangles.  This album is going to be different for sure.  You can already tell by the production.  Much different direction.  Still Deftones-y, just a different sound.

I'd think so, too, it's got pretty much everything that all the 'They're too poppy ' people should love. I do enjoy this way more than Prayers/Triangles, that song is great but it's just the usual, more or less. Nothing shocking or out-there. This, along with everything else, is basically confirming that this album will be including the few things I've been missing with Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan. So I'm happy.

Maybe the Reddit people are more fans of the last two albums?

[therealdaebat]

The mix is terrible but it makes it sound like somewhat demo like which I enjoy. At this point I'm just happy the guys are still putting out music.

Not a whole lot of chugging on this however still sounds fine. Frank's little intro was cut out?

The guitars don't sound that produced well.

As someone who knows nothing, what's the difference?

Don't think it was an intro, just some fade out they usually do live after Diamond Eyes, which was played before Doomed User

I hope that wasn't coming across as condescending, I didn't mean it that way. Check out Steely Dan post-"Royal Scam", or Boz Scaggs "Lowdown",  it's basically treatments, effects, levels, intonation of specific instruments vs. assembling of all of those specific instruments into place through mixing, can also involve channeling or realizing specific ideas into track sequencing, stuff like that. When people say they don't like the sound of a guitar, or the way it was recorded, I'm more inclined to think that's an engineering issue, just like George Martin was the producer of the Beatles who oversaw the big picture, Geoff Emerick was the engineer who miked all the instruments, got the tone the way it was supposed to be. Of course this probably means nothing to anyone but it's just my interpretation of what it means when people complain about stuff.

So for instance if the guitar sound is crappy, I would think it's an issue with the way it was miked, treated, maybe mixed (but probably not).  Personally I think Abe's drum sound on this song is really abrasive and claustrophobic kind of like the review thread was mentioning Nirvana...

[endstand]

For me, Doomed User heavy intro riff sounds very similiar to Leathers riff (00:39 - 00:46).

[el perro]

From my listen the vocals, drums and bass are inaudible. I can't even feel the kick drum. The best I can hear everything is through my crappy laptop speakers.
