Biggest thing I've done is put Briana between Dallas and Margot (inspired by the Caliban mix sent earlier). I feel like everything flows great, even before doing that; but Diamond is the optimal closing track.
Imagining it like a vinyl record, Briana would close the a-side, with Margot beginning the b-side.
I'm glad that little adjustment to the sequencing worked for you. I've played around with "Electra" in different spots, as well, but I just keep coming back to the original tracklist that leaked, only with "Brianna" between "Dallas" and "Margot."
NOTE: If I already sent you my remix/master, revisit and redownload the link you were initially sent by me. I updated the .zip to a v2 designation.
In v2, I made a few changes to restore some dynamics to Chino's vocals across a few tracks, as well as a few other small mixing adjustments (Frank and Abe in "Candy", for example). But the big change was in the mastering. My original remix was mastered to approx. -12 LUFS, which is roughly where the original demos were sitting. That created a fairly dynamic listening experience, because loudness wasn't the goal. But I heard back from a few of you that you thought the listening experience was too quiet on my mix, so I mastered v2 to approx. -9 LUFS, which is somewhere around what you'd experience from 'Saturday Night Wrist' or 'Diamond Eyes'. It squashes some of the dynamism of the original mastering job, but it definitely is a better, more consistent listen next to other Deftones albums. I also updated the album art, inspired by the "Ohms" music video.
