It just baffles me that some people expect Deftones to put out some unbelievably heavy album or something similar to Adrenaline lol.  It's simply never going to happen.  Adrenaline is a terrible album.  I mean, I get if you got into them with that album and it holds nostalgia, but it's just not a good album by any means.  I want the band to keep progressing and it always blows my mind when I see people complaining about them not being "heavy" lol.  They're at their best when writing moody music.  Not saying the riffs can't be chunky, but it's not going to be full on aggression the entire time. 
This ...  I started with Adrenaline so it will always be my favorite due to that but evolving with the music as they do is great.

Whats up dudes? How is everyone?

It's not so much Adrenaline style heaviness I want a little more of... Just more S/T style heaviness a la WGTB, Hexagram, etc.

I mean yeah, I love WGTB, but I'd much prefer songs like Battle Axe, Deathblow, Anniversary, Minerva, etc.  I love Self Titled.  It's prob my fav album.  If I had to describe it, I'd probably call it Doomgaze.

At this point in their career, it's Acid Hologram style heaviness I want.

Yeah I'm completely fine w the direction they're going.  I've always wanted them to do a very mellow spacey album full of songs like Digital Bath, Rx Queen, Sextape, Rosemary, Hearts/Wires, etc.  Would love that.

I would love that as well. Add Cherry Waves, Xerces, Deathblow, and 967-EVIL to that and it's a sexy playlist.

Me too, but Chino can't scream like that anymore. I mean, he can in the studio and he can live at times, but not so consistently that he could do it over and over without it affecting him. Dude is working with what he's got, he's not trying to kill himself for the sake of those raw, visceral screams throughout an entire song anymore. And it's a shame because they're amazing, but it's just the reality, so it's cool.

Heaviness is good, but I like the moody, atmospheric, dark stuff, and I've definitely got more of that on Gore than the last two albums, so me personally, I'm happy as hell about that. It's not as raw as self-titled, but that's probably because the darkness, sadness, etc. isn't quite as close to them since they're all doing pretty well currently, whereas self-titled era was hard for them. This is more of a creative darkness or moodiness, so a different sound, but still welcome for me.

Would love a PM for the flac if it's not a bother.
Curious how it compares to the HQ.

So there's a FLAC file? I'd be happy with ANY decent CD rip about now. I jumped ahead about 100 pages from where I was last night, and people were throwing out email addresses. If anybody is still sending out the emails, mine is my user name here (forum name) at hotmail.com. Thanks!

So is the V0 quality version Ive been seeing everywhere a direct CD rip or what kind is it?

Been listening nonstop, while not the best its one of their best albums nd Im sure most people here will agree.

Hm. It's okay, I guess. It is a good album, it sounds and feels cohesive, has a couple of good songs and beautiful lyrics, but overall it has more filler than standout tracks. For me that is, and on the second listen. Some tracks I just don't feel like I will have the urge to listen to again, ever. Those tracks sound just bland and boring to me.
I like that they did something new, it most certainly sounds und feels fresh, but to me it's far from being a Deftones album I wished for.
White Pony and the selftitled are my untouchable classics from them, ATF and KNY not close behind, but Gore struggles to surpass DE and even SNW for me. For now of course.


I'm kind of with you at this point but it's a little early for me to form a strong opinion.  I'm really disappointed in the production of Rubicon because it's such an amazing song but just flat out sounds shitty production wise.  That's the one song I wish they would have done a KNY style production on.  There are some good songs on here but it's just missing something "heaviness" wise. 

It's not a strong opinion by any stretch, of course it'll need time to sink in. But yeah, that's what it feels like for now, and it marks the first time that I feel any kind of scepticism after an album release of them (and I listen to them since ATF btw).
I don't like Rubicon by the way, I anticipated that song so much after what you guys wrote about it, but meh.
Most of the songs I don't like because of Chino's performance sadly. Not because of his voice - he sounds much better than on KNY and DE, so much more organic and "real" - but I just don't get his melodies, so annoying! The choruses on Xenon, (L)mirl and Phantom Bride to be specific.
Oh, and did anyone else noticed the similarity of Hearts/Wires and Rattle That Lock by David Gilmour? Just in the verse, and just the rhythm, but it's there isn't it? Kinda funny, since the intro sounds so much like Pink Floyd and all. ^^

Ripped directly from CD.  A member on here (who shall remain nameless, unless they choose to throw their name out that is) was fortunate enough to get their hands on a copy.  He had a friend (also on this forum) do all the dirty work in creating the file and it was distributed from there with the help of a few other forum members.

This. The best stuff they've written since S/T has been the moody songs. Hell the only good songs off of SNW were the soft ones (Cherry Waves, Beware, Xerces). Sure they've had a few good bangers since then like Rocket Skates, Royal, or Poltergeist but they're very few and far between.

An album with the passion/atmosphere/sexiness of songs like Smile, Sextape, Rosemary, Hearts/Wires, Cherry Waves, etc would probably end up being my favorite of theirs of all time.
