recreating would be actually doing something worthwhile instead of just shoving something in an ai upscaler and put the sharpening slider all the way to the right

Maybe not but quite possibly Chino's guitar Solo. Melanie, and trempist r instant faves. I did not expect at all to hear Mike Shinoda from LP on Destiny

I'm thinking that's Steph, similar to Briana where it's a semi-solo. Idk what to call it either.

He would later do the same type of thing on Beauty School and What Happened to You

I feel like some material on this record could have been a Team Sleep song:

Margot, Candy, and Diamond especially stand out.

It would've been interesting for Deftones to start incorporating more overt dream-pop elements.

* i meant BRIANNA* sorry for the confusion. There is an unrecognizable voice in the chorus way higher than C-Note's

Do you back read and see the defamation you're are doing to this band, let alone a dead band member.?
 LET CHI REST IN PEACE WITH EROS ON THE SHELF UNHEARD.
JUST My personal opinion. I refuse to listen without the bands actual official consent.!

That's cool, you do you. I wish it never was leaked. I am however going to hear it and listen to it and enjoy it if it's there to listen to and it is. It's weird that I just read your comment. I'm taking a walk right now in the neighborhood and was just thinking how much money went into the production of this record and all the time they spent away from family doing this and never got anything for it. So I get it. But there's no need to come on here and tell people that you will never listen to it. It's not gonna change anybody else. I do get it though. I like so many others have been waiting for this thing since the inception. And I just don't have the self-control to not listen. It's one of the biggest things I've ever had to look forward to in my life outside of life-changing things like childbirth and my wedding and all that other stuff like graduation. I guess what I really mean it is the biggest album anticipation from this band ever. Especially Long timers that went through all those dangling of the carrot days with Chino. But there's no way I couldn't. It's pretty awesome by the way.

"raping" the band? LMAOOOOOOOOOO

These are 18 year old demos that leaked. Big fucking deal. Leaks happen all the time. Any fan or band member having a hissy fit over this is just embarrassing themselves standing on their soapbox and preaching their holy moral ground. If a bunch of Smiths demos leaked, Chino would be the first one downloading them.

Chino has dangled Eros like a carrot in front of the fans for 17 years. Every interview Chino went from "it will get released one day" to "maybe we will" to "heres a song from the album to wet your appetite" then after everyone got all excited it became "nah don't think so, it is never coming out. oh well tough shit"

So it got leaked. Bands far more successful (Radiohead) have dealt with leaks and survived. The Deftones will survive. They don't need your charity or sad posts about what a violation it is. I'd say it is more disrespectful to Chi to take his final recordings and lock them in a vault then to let the world hear them

And Stef already said hes cool with the leak so theres your permission

Yo,

Ive been on here for a bit and wanted to introduce myself and thank all the OG's that have helped bless my ears. 

I have seen Deftones once at a festival in 2023 and been a fan since.

Smh

Definately NOT EROS!

Anyone have a mp3 or mp4 of "Lovers" or the like linus tapes?
