Quote from: RikshawHoward on Jun 23, 2026, 04:29 PMPut this on again with all the Eros commotion and man, I still love this record so much.

Same. Literally did this like a day or 2 ago. All the Eros talk revitalized PM for me. Usually after a couple months, I get out of that 'deftones coma' phase where all I can think about is their latest work.

I listened to Melanie bc we had a live version laying around for a long ass time... I remember thinking back then it was a banger. Even tho this version is unfinished... yup, still a fucking banger.

you may be interested in the leitmotif document once i finish it...i'm about to put on my focusing music and try to chip away at it a bit since i've mainly been editing down clips for my archives. i've seen someone transcribe every eros track's lyrics and a lot of stuff jumped out at me.

Quote from: DefFsho on Jun 27, 2026, 11:35 PMYeah, I dig that song that was taken out of ohms, Rain. More parts than others I really like. Upon just a couple listens it doesn't sound very cohesive to me, but like I say this shit always changes overtime imo

well now i'm a bit confused...i thought the ohms track that got leaked was named sensations? is this the same track or did a different track leak?

I believe it is the same song called sensations with rain in parentheses or vice versa. At least that's how I remember seeing it...did you like it?

i was able to find the eros files but not this one yet, so i don't know 

I am thirsty for Koi no Yokan demos and stems. It's not my favorite record by far. But when that record came out and I played it for several months on and off in 2012 and 2013, it was that record that I wondered what sounded like in demo phase. Like what they fucked around with during that time that didn't make it or turned into something. I would like to hear all demos and stems from all the records to be honest, but for some reason that one was so cinematic along with diamond eyes. I want to hear those demos. Gore is just a long demo to me when I listen to it. It's the weirdest record they ever made because of the production and mastering and mixing. Eros unfinished even sounds clearer than Gore. And I do get that they were striving for a live playing sound on that record. I remember reading that. And I do hear it, but I'm not satisfied

What a weird song diamond is. I'm talking about the beginning and pretty much the first half. It sounds so different from anything they've ever recorded, to me, even though I'm speculating this song wasn't done or official obviously. Like I said before, the second half of it is probably so far my favorite part of this unreleased famous record. But the beginning is so weird. I like to think it was just ideas. There are a few tracks that I cannot for the life of me tell what he is singing most of the time and I expected that material being unfinished.  Diamonds really went a lot further than we thought as a theme. Like a scrapped song from Ohms, Rain.... "Diamonds raining on you." 10 years prior, diamond eyes had the same line. Just the words were different. And then you have the song that I'm speaking of. Never thought of Chino as a diamond guy.🥴 "Diamonds rain across the sky".....
 Just something I recognized

Quote from: DefFsho on Jun 27, 2026, 08:53 PMChi Cheng is the perfect example of a fallen artist that i think would have wanted his fans to hear music that he made. anybody who knew what Chi was like to us in the public, you know he's the type of guy that's like "fuck it. What's the big deal? The fans want to hear it let them hear it." that's what I think Chi would want. Along with Frank, Stephen and Abe. I hope his family can benefit from this somehow in the near future.. we have EROS. ITS OVER WITH FINALLY😊🥰

it is really great to hear this stuff, and in such a far more complete form than i figured it would be in. also, i'm having a very hard time hearing any bass/Chi. i dunno if i need to play it on proper speakers, and not just a laptop. what songs is the bass most obvious?

and the ohms b-side, rain, is great too

It would be quite easy for me to do a Chi Enhanced version of Eros, in fact i'd been wanting to do it. Does it sound good to you guys?

I certainly don't have a problem with it and who cares if someone does. They don't need to listen to it.
I wouldn't mind hearing it seamlessly like I would listening to a record straight through. I first got it in MP3 form and didn't bother with any other way because I figured somebody would make something better..

Quote from: Draken on Jun 28, 2026, 06:50 PMIt sounds 100% Kurt Travis, without being a DGD fan I could tell initially there was some emo influence on that chorus.

Yeah doesn't really sound like Shaun to me
