How are the vocal melodies on the album? Is it loaded to the gills with catchiness, or are the songs too weird and abstract to make them accessible on first listen?

U can hear that from the singles and songs that leaked, not catchy at all, linda weird, its nothng like Smile.

Extremely catchy vocals... Hats off to Chino, he's become a master at slipping his vocals in where they need to be and actually being an instrument... catchiest of any of the albums so far... These guys are seriously soaked in talent... I guess 20+ years in the game will do that... wow.

Woah, I think the opposite.

I am no noob. Please!

What were the demos Chuck played? Didn't hear them on Phantom Bride, or am I nuts?

Chino is working with the music, not against it and the choruses aren't soaring like they were all over KNY. It's more appropriate on this record. I also see where Steph was coming from since this is such a diverse record. But man, he's got some heavy riffs on this. Doomed User and Gore are just walls of sound brutalizing you.

As as sentiment is concerned, this feels like a darker record, just not a heavy one. It isn't a plodding record by any means. The song sequencing is great too. The album flows well.

Hearts/Wires is spectacular. Chino's vocals sounds so very vulnerable.

The hi-hat one? Where they're sitting around the soundboard? That's Hearts/Wires when the drums kick in after the grumbly intro they played in concert...

No, it's the former. This album is very straightforward. You can tell Chino had the reigns. This is a somewhat softer album with an emphasis on sung parts. It's very melodic but I wouldn't say it was very left field.

You have some slow heaviness on Acid Hologram, Doomed User we've all heard, and Gore. Some alt timing on Geometric Headdress. Hearts/Wires and (L)MIRL are the slow burner long tracks in the vein of Tempest/Rosemary. Xenon is a likely single. Rubicon is the most upbeat and uptempo closer they've ever done.

I wonder what they were. Certainly sounded like an 8 string.

I think there's nothing catchy about the vocals of the songs that leaked.  Bye guys, going to bed.

wow... at first I was thinking Hearts/Wires was going to be this slow trudge.. then it hits!

OMG guys I am so sorry to tease but Rubicon........I am literally holding back tears. What a song. What a fucking song........

Spoiler Alert!!! In Rubicon Chino sings, not screams, what definitely sounds like "And the crowd goes wild......h" in the most beautiful way, multiple times.

Final thoughts after one full listen.......PT/DU/AH are easily my three least favorite tracks. From Geometric to the very end, it's a fucking wild ride that I believe fans are gonna LOVE. Maybe I listened to them too much today, but I think Gore and Phantom are my least favorite of the last seven songs. What I am TRYING TO SAY is the six you haven't heard are six of the best Deftones I have personally ever heard. If this album is this good on first listen and people say "it's a grower" then this motherfucker is a black hole that is going to suck up the universe with it's beauty and brutality. Maybe I am overreacting, but I have not felt this way about any music since I first heard ATF when I was 14 years old.

I just got chills reading this. I'm on the verge of tears with anticipation. Could someone bless me with a PM? I'm not on this site just for this, I've been lurking on here for years i just never made an account because I'm not really a socal online person but I fucking love Deftones. They're my absolute favorite thing in the world besides my lil boy.. I'll share the love on here as well if I get the rip.  You guys are awesome though. It's so cool to see so many people from all over who feel the same way about Deftones and their music.

No, there was a heavier one, he played several clips of. Safe to say it wasn't on Gore. Maybe the song that ended up being cut.

Would really appreciate a copy, guys  raznotashow@gmail.com
