you must choose the one, which you want to eliminate ;)
Hmmm... Well I guess my two least favorite tracks would probably be Gore and Rubicon. I would choose them, but I feel that doing so this early would be a little like voting for Vermin Supreme for president... it's just not going to happen. So I'll be a bit more pragmatic about the situation and choose P/T.
Omg nooo, not Pittura! Holy shizah, guys!
If you do not like Pittura you clearly haven't listened to it enough.
Is there a poll? Fuck i dont think polls are viewable and stuff on taptalk

Voted for Xenon
fuck i understadn wrong vote for pt because i didnt want to be eliminated :/
Sad thing about Prayers/Triangles is that I feel like it had the most potential.

Voted for Xenon
you villain >:( not in the first round :P
Voted P/T. I just find it the least compelling or interesting track on the album.
voted Pittura first, Xenon will be my next vote. They just don't catch my attention like the others. I'm actually starting to like P/T quite a bit, gonna be lame if that gets beat out first over Pittura or Xenon. Not saying they're bad, they just kinda bore me at the moment. Maybe they'll click later. It's no surprise to me that they were rarely mentioned in any review of Gore yet.

If P/T gets eliminated first by 1 vote, i'm blaming you man! :)
Xenon, I just can't get into it.
Why was Gore voted??? :o

It hasn't.. Voting closes: Apr 12, 2016, 11:35 PM
Funny how the songs everyone played to death are getting votes. I wonder if we hadn't heard Prayers/Triangles and Doomed User until the leak, if people would have been freaking out about how good they are instead of voting them off the island in the 1st round.
i've only heard the full album 3 or 4 times, but thus far i'd eliminate acid hologram first(but it's still a great tune). i really like prayers/triangles alot, & the video with the flamingos goes so perfect with it. i love doomed user too, also not real popular here. heavist song since rapture and rats. awesome riff. hearts/wires, geometric headdress, lmirl, pb, xenon, love it all really
it's probably tied with s/t for darkest deftones album. hard to truly rank it yet, so i'll wait on that. super happy with it though

^Exactly. The opposite is true in the case of Pittura though : I feel like people haven't listened to it nearly enough. It's the best song on the album (definitely the most unique) for sure imo, and one of their career highlights.

Next time make it so users can erase their votes if they change their mind later on please.. or if people get confused on how it works and click the wrong one.
I feel like only person that loves Pittura! PPl why you do this to me first round! ;)
I voted for Xenon. Honestly, it's the only song on the album that does nothing for me. Hopefully with time it will grown on me
I love Pittura too. Shame it's so exiled here lol. I voted Doomed User.
Don't worry, Pittura Infamante. I will scream your praises.
Voted for ácido...

I will slowly sink with this ship, proudly :)
EDIT: I can get how some people don't get with the weezer-ish intro riff, but (picture of clay davis) shieeeeet, the rest owns, imo. It's like a drunken pirate joined 'at the drive in', and chino kills on it.
So you'll have to 'carry me out of here. mfkz :'( :D
I can't believe Pittura Infamante is going to be the first to go, you guys suck, it's an awesome song with a weird opening riff!
Just voted against Pittura Infamante.

Great song. Took me some time to "get" it.
I vote Xenon.
It's a religious song, guys, you're all going to Hell, I hope you're happy!
^you are going to troll Valhalla!
I don't get it! Pittura is like the second or third best song on the album, guys! Why hast thou forsaken me?!

Gore.
I honestly can't decide anymore. All the tracks have sunk in, they each have their own little logic, and are kinda perfect in their own ways. Fuck choosing!
Cant seem to enjoy xenon. Dont hate it just doesnt flow like the rest to me...
Yeah voting Gore, doesn't do anything for me

Gore.
I don't consider Gore weak, it may not sound as pieced together as Xenon but at least it has a flow and great lyrics
Pittura and xenon are the worst 7 minutes of this album, but if I had to choose I'd say xenon is worse. I can't find anything redeeming in it at the moment. Pittura at least has a couple parts where it isn't atrocious.

I do love the lyrics! Even if the songs on Gore aren't exactly the best Deftones have to offer, I feel like I can safely say that Chino has never been more poetic in his lyrical content than he is on this album. I'm not saying his vocal melodies are the best either, I think he's done much better in the past. But s far as the lyrics themselves, top notch all the way through.

See and I really like Doomed. I feel like if it was left off and people heard it later on, they'd say this is hard! Should've been on the album!

Agree...
Might as well close this one down the people have spoken haha. Looks like Hearts/Wires will take it all.
Bye bye Xenon.

haha yeh, what's next Acid Hologram, you savages! ;)
I'm taking all the hate for Pittura very personally :p. Seriously, the song structure is very different for Deftones and that transition towards the end (around 2 :15 ish) with Stef's technical riff is just glorious. If anything, Geometric Headdress should be getting the axe for how repetitive it is.
I'd understand it if this was done on everyone's first listen but at this point there's no excuse for saying Pittura Infamante is the worst song on the album.
definitely geometric headdress, there's nothing to the song and the chorus reminds me of something on diamond eyes
After a few listens, Xenon is no longer my least favorite (2nd least). Sadly PI is. It's not bad, it's just too cheerful for my taste. Chino is happy, the instruments don't have a dreary sense or dissonance to them. I like the contrast. Not for me.
That being said, it is cool to hear Steph's guitar work on this. Very Smashing Pumpkins like to me during the section with the hammer-ons.
Quote from: laurapalmer on Apr 10, 2016, 05:29 PM
Yeah voting Gore, doesn't do anything for me
That's what I get for talking on PI and Xenon haha. Gore is a Top 4 track for me. Very curious to see what #1 will end up being.
rubicon or hearts, will prob win it seems.. I really like acid hologram
Pittura Infamante may be first out of the game, but it's nice to know that others appreciate its greatness.
Just voted for Prayers/Triangles. I'll probably have to give the album more listens before I vote in any further rounds.

that riff is fairly technical. makes me thatmuch more irritated that he'll never play the PB solo. he did one on butching the beatles CD(i feel fine), sol invicto -unidose, deftones "answers", goon squad (sorta, i dunno if it's Stef or Chino), dallas (eros song), & various youtube tinkering around solos. so he can, he just won't & it's frustrating
Pittura, Acid and Geometric seem the weakest tracks to me
Xenon gaining some ground on Pittura. No love for the first singles too.
Voted Gore, but god damn, this album is good, and hard to pick a weaker song for now !!
HMM, gotta use my votes way more strategically next time, to saves my favs! I gotta vote one vote ahead. So i should have voted for Xenon. Unfortunately PT winning any rounds doesn't seem like it would help it, but just delay the inevitable! Theres nothing i can do, i gotta go back to before 11.22.63 again.. and attempt reset this reality.
