Title: Favorite Song on Gore (First Reaction)
Post by: illthrowROCKS@U on Apr 03, 2016, 04:12 PM
Okay, a couple things first:

I understand that the album is completely new.  I understand we all need some time to fully digest the album before we come to our ultimate conclusions.  I understand that we've only got a weak vinyl rip to go off of for now.  Don't crucify me for asking this question "too early."  I'm only interested in finding out what people's favorite songs are on their first few listens.

I'd also like to hear people's reasoning for their choices.

You can pick two, so a favorite and one runner up.  And, if you change your mind over the next couple days, as is inevitable, you can change your choices.  But if you change your mind, please let us know what changed your mind. 

Let's have some productive conversation here too, no bashing anyone else's opinion please.

Phantom Bride is 1st followed by Hearts/Wires for me...So far only song that hasn't grabbed me is Geometric Headdress.

Rubicon and Acid Hologram.

listened to it four times, gore has always stood out


Prayers/Triangles, Geometric Headdress, Hearts/Wires, Pittura Infamante and Phantom Bride are the ones that haven't clicked yet. the latter's solo is ridiculous, ruins the rest of the song and does not belong on the album

Post by: illthrowROCKS@U on Apr 03, 2016, 04:24 PM
Right off the bat, the two that stood out the most to me were Acid Hologram and Xenon.

I love Acid Hologram, because it's just overall badass.  The whole thing is so dark.  It's like if The Smiths got together with The Smashing Pumpkins and had a baby.  It's amazing.  One of my favorite Deftones tracks in a very very long time.

Second would be Xenon.  I just love that riff, and the drum beat is.. well... it's Abe.  I love this one for almost the opposite reason that I love Acid Hologram.  While AH is dark and dreary and depressing, Xenon feels uplifting to me. 

I love them all, though.  This is everything I was hoping for from Deftones.  It blows DE and KNY completely out of the water for me.  This will end up climbing the ranks for years to come, I can feel it.  I doubt it will touch ST or WP status, but it will be up there, easily in the top 3-4.

Damn, only picked one, haha, sorry. Geometric Headdress and Phantom Bride. Or maybe Hearts/Wires. I don't know. Geometric Headdress surprised me, I wasn't expecting it. I love the lyrics, the vocals, everything. Phantom Bride is such a sad song, even the vocals sound very melancholy but ballad-y at the same time, I really love it. Hearts/Wires, well, the intro is incredible, unique, and the rest of the song lives up to it, with some amazing guitar parts, too.

Honestly though, I can only say for sure that Prayers/Triangles is my least favourite. Any of the others, well, any of them can be my favourite, to be honest. So impressed beyond words about this album.

Agree, my two favourites are White Pony and self-titled, and this will definitely be in the top three, #3 on the list at least. For me, I mean. Can't speak for anyone else.

I've only listened all the way through once but I already know Rubicon is my favorite.  A lot of the album is kind of slow and almost makes me lose interest at times.  Rubicon has a good tempo and the crunching guitars that I've always loved about Deftones.  There aren't many moments like that on this album which is fine.  It's just a different album.  I like (L)mirl a lot too.  This is an album that will have to grow on me because of the overall tempo but I do think I'll end up liking it.

Yeah a lot of it seems pretty mid-tempo, so I think the excitement might come with tone - like Phantom Bride for me is all kinds of exquisite, so maybe you'll feel different when you hear a better quality version? Get all the texture.

Yeah, once a high quality version comes out, I'll go for a ride, crank it up, and let it all soak in.  Hard for me to properly judge it until then but from the rip that's going around now, I think it will be pretty solid.

I don't think I have a favorite track yet, but a few of the chorus' really have a '90s pumpkins/shoegazy feel to them IMO, which I really dig. And the Morrissey vocal effect that Chino mentioned in an early interview is definitely there.  And no disrespect to Steph but I really like that theres not a lot of that "chugga chugga" low end stuff. I mentioned this in the Gore thread but on my first listen I kind of thought that the last three tracks could have been reordered, ending with Phantom Bride or Gore. Just my two cents...

Absolutely!  I love Rubicon, but it doesn't feel like a proper closer to me.  I would have definitely preferred Gore or Phantom Bride to be the final track on the album.  The end of those songs feel more final.  Rubicon's ending leaves much to be desired to me.  It's almost like it's RIGHT there, but doesn't quite seal the deal to me.

Then again, I felt the same about WHTY's ending, and later changed my mind.  We'll see what happens.

Like OP said chances are it will change over time, but Ive gone with Hearts/Wires and (L)mirl.
Title: Re: Favorite Song on Gore (First Reaction)
Post by: wkcwkc on Apr 03, 2016, 08:32 PM
Tough to pick one, but Acid has me hooked. 

(L)mirl seems to borrow some bass from Tool.  The chorus has some cues of Hum, which I think was a relatively overlooked band in the grunge days.  Loving it. 

Rubicon is the best album closer since Pink Maggit.

Hearts/Wires is a standout after going through a full listen just once.

This is an evil record. I love it.

Hearts/Wires is so creepy. It gives me an uneasy vibe. Its very ominous.

When listening to H/W I keep picturing an old abandoned creepy amusement park.

Only voted for one but it was Geometric Headress. Love the build up after the chorus and yes it will change but for now thats my jam...
Title: Re: Favorite Song on Gore (First Reaction)
Post by: jlaggot on Apr 03, 2016, 09:10 PM
Hearts/Wires because it's the most personal song Chino has written lyrically since Beware, the intro is one of the few spacey moments in the album that you can really chill out to, but it transforms into absolute devastation by the time the chorus finally hits almost 3 minutes in.

Rubicon because i feel like it's one of the most important songs Deftones has written in a long time. They sound like they're having a shit ton of fun like they were on some Diamond Eyes or KNY tracks (Goon Squad, Rocket Skates, etc), but it also has that edge of uplift that is so genuine. It's everyone at the top of their game: Chino's "YOU CANNOT FACE THE CROWD", Abe just destroying those crashes, hell even Frank gets some time to shine around the 3 minute mark.

"Doomed User" is garbage compared to the rest of the album. It's almost like they wanted to lower expectations before the record dropped - I can't think of any other reason for putting that out as one of the first singles. I was to the point of not being excited for this album much at all (since "P/T" is only mediocre to me, too) until I heard it yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised.

I honestly would rather "Doomed User" were left off and the album had 10 tracks. It's annoying sandwiched in between two awesome songs.

Can't pick a favorite yet. Hologram and Phantom are the early contenders, but there are 3-4 others I can't rule out.

Phantom Bride is currently blowing all other songs put of the water for me. Except Geometric Headdress. That song is amazing and such new territory for Deftones. I'm also really liking those screams at the end of Gore.
Title: Re: Favorite Song on Gore (First Reaction)
Post by: Freedomsoldier17 on Apr 04, 2016, 04:38 AM
my first reactions to the new songs as i listened

acid hologram - holy shit this riff...really heavy. spacey vocals but also pretty dark...YOU SMOTHER
ME IN SHAPES...catchy chorus. now sounding sinister, menacing...whoever made that post about smashing
pumpkins and that other band having a baby, yeah sounds like that lol. super dark bridge, makes me
think of being in a labrynith on halloween. and the vocals, they move like a snake. 4/5 stars

geometric headdress - digging the vocals, guitar back and forth, the melody, up and down, reminds
me of combat. the speaking anger part ... woah. vocal drop in chorus, very catchy and neat. abe low key tearing it up!
4/5 stars

hearts/wires - the intro...atmospheric..the guitar echo, the spaciness. bass also makes it a little
heavy. oh!! heres the instagram beginning! very unconventional vocals...mix between crosses and
palms? serg with the bassline...getting a little faster now. oh damn that chorus. man...perfect
balance between heaviness and spaciness. this song is sexy. man this chorus is wild...its makes
me think of re-entering earth's atmosphere. wow. 5/5 stars

pittura infamante - oh boy, major 90s influence here. decentish riff, vocals not particularly
catchy...kinda spacey? 1 minute...not digging. okay vocals gettin better, guitar seems somewhat
off. cool vocal effects in bridge. damn that heaviness...oh shit abe!! more vocal echoes here.

"ooo"...abe is slammin tho. that gamey ending!! 3/5 stars

xenon - that trippy ass guitar...dang. super spacey vocals...oh he's singing about chi i think.
chorus pretty meh...not catchy at all. a little more now...but i don't like this song much. it's
kinda...dry. 3/5 stars

(L)MIRL - oh this intro...shit. its like being underwater...scuba diving. these vocals...match the
song. dark and spacey. a little more raw...like doomed user, but a lot slower. oh that riff, that
bass. different song structure...but its interesting. chino's vocals...not the lyrics but their
sound...it's like he's making a painting with this song. and the anger comes...i see...chino screams!
3.5/5 stars

gore - very interesting beginning, raw ass riff! a definite left turn. woah shit!! definitely heavy!

vocals in chorus...perfect mixing, catchy. is this jerry yet? i love this song dude. makes me hope

Post by: E-Money on Apr 04, 2016, 06:22 AM
I'm in love with the last 4 tracks. It's probably my favorite stretch on any of their records. I picked rubicon for my favorite because I love how uplifting and triumphant it is! Second would be phantom bride. It's so sad but so beautiful in the same way. Almost like he's singing about himself going through a tough time or maybe a lover... Idk but I dig it. And steph and Jerry at the end just kill it ⚒🔥👌🏻💯

Also love Lmirl.. Totally new territory for them and thought geo and acid were phenomenal too. I basically like the whole record. I guess I liked doomed a little bit more when playing the whole record but still my least favorite song.. Just feels forced to me..

I'm really curious to hear the real thing. I feel like we'll be discovering new sounds and feelings for months. This album is so layered and frank really shines on most of the tracks.

But most of all I want to hear what tracks Terry touched. That's driving me nuts. I have to know. But what a day! This band will always be my first true love in music. They always push the boundaries and deliver something ahead of their time. Thrilled to see everyone enjoying it :)

This is a hard call. I only had the chance to hear the album a couple of times but for now Top 3 would be Hearts/Wires, (L)MIRL and Geometric Headdress. We all should be proud of these guys, they will never stop to surprise us.

"Gore" reminds me of 2003  8) and that end breakdown on "Phantom Bride". I think "Rubicon" is my favorite, that chorus hits me like I'm hearing White Pony again for the first time. 
Title: Re: Favorite Song on Gore (First Reaction)
Post by: Jorge on Apr 06, 2016, 08:27 AM
I'm digging Gore now. This track is absolutely schizophrenic, the last part for me sounds like drone/doom metal.

Post by: Moz on Apr 06, 2016, 08:32 AM
It used to be Gore, the Rubicon, and its Hearts/Wires now.

Thats what a good album does. It keeps changing the best track in your head.

Post by: neirda on Apr 06, 2016, 11:39 AM
Really hard to tell this early in the digestion process.

Phantom bride is maybe one of the most beautiful song on this album
GH just drives me crazy when the chorus kicks in.
HW has this spacey 90's feeling in the intro, makes me so nostalgic
Gore destroys just everything
AH is gloomy dark yet beautiful
Rubicon is just perfect as a closer
maybe PI and Xenon are not at the same level
Doomed User is the one I'll skip I think

It's hard, but the sadness of Phantom Bride draws me in. My #1. I had it on repeat on my way to work today and lyrics made me think of people I know that are in that situation. And it was really moving.

And #2, Hearts / Wires. Love the lyrics, the atmosphere...

After about a dozen listens of the higher quality leak:
1: (L)Mirl
2: Rubicon
3: Gore
4: Geometric Headdress
5: Phantom Bride
6: Pittura Infamante
7: Xenon
8: Acid Hologram
9: Hearts/Wires
10: Doomed User
11: Prayers/Triangles

I think #1 sticks.  Tracks 2-9 are almost interchangeable, because the entire album is very consistent in terms of quality.  P/T is the only track I don't love, and it's still an above average song by any band's standards.

I listened to the album once for the first time yesterday on spotify, and several times earlier today on CD. My view on Gore is subject to change (a lot), but right now I would probably pick Acid Hologram when asked which once is my favorite.

Yup. Lmirl is right there as well. So is Phantom for me. Love the second half of the record. Some of the best music they have ever made. Like the first half too but not like the second half. Hope this record is huge for them. All hail Deftones !

And the final Chino's moan with the Stephen's 8 strings.
Almost like the end of Root.

Not sure if my fav...but, the first time you listen to hearts/wires it´s wonderful.
Title: Re: Favorite Song on Gore (First Reaction)
Post by: DeftonesNZ on Apr 09, 2016, 12:02 AM
Hearts/wires wish it was longer so the different elements where expanded more but it embodies the dynamics I love from Deftones, has really pretty spacious moments and then heavy and intense moments and shift between them easily. (L)MIRL is my second favorite creepy sounding intro goes that turns into a more positive sounding chorus but the quirky guitar that comes in gives it an unsettling vibe, Chino sounds like he's mentally unstable and becoming more deranged as the song progresses. Kind of reminds me of "Brain Damage" by Pink Floyd

Mine has changed a few times but now it's Xenon.  I really like Frank's part in that one and Chino's vocals.

I must say, I've got really fond of Pittura Infamante.
Title: Re: Favorite Song on Gore (First Reaction)
Post by: dopeybanana on Apr 09, 2016, 08:46 PM
'Pittura Infamante' is the crowning achievement of the new album for me. It has an uptempo, energetic feel to it that is reminiscent of 'Hole in the Earth', but better. I really want to like 'Geometric Headdress' as well, because it seems to have a similar vibe in terms of it's pace; but despite the vocals having some interesting placement ideas, their execution is actually not that good tbh : Chino sounds like he's straining too hard during the heavier sections, and it's very off-putting (even by Deftones standards :P).

Acid Hologram was one that stuck with me as soon as I heard the new material (not the singles released), but then I got to GORE. That song is f*cking amazing to me. That's my favorite on this album.
