I Need the lyrics of H/W. Better Deftones since S/T, imo.

[mono]

Also, P/T sounded a whole lot better after hearing it in sequence with the album. Same with Doomed User. They make a bit more sense now to me.

Absolutely agree.  I started liking them much more

Same feeling with P/T, but I'm still trying to dig doomed user, for me it's the lowest song of the record (by now...)

could be, could be....gimme 1 month and I will tell this with more confidence. But for me, far better than KNY

[geraavl08]

I still don't know why Doomed user isn't liked by many, that's one of my top songs of the album

Hopefully people check their local stores again today. Like that one dude who tried getting it Saturday but was a bit too late. Can't wait..

If I have time,  I'm going today, otherwise it won't be until Wednesday. The question is whether or not I'll even care Wednesday being Id be getting the CD, Vinyl, and download in 48 hours.

Regardless, if my meeting isn't brutally long, I'll drive there today. (It is more than an hour away)

I think this order would have been cool too:

gore
prayers/triangles
doomed user
geometric headdress
acid hologram

i'd settle for this:

After listening to the vinyl rip 3 times I decided to wait for the CD rip in 320 kbps. I must say I'm loving this fucking album, I've enjoyed it more than KNY and almost as much as I did with DE (my second favorite Deftones record). I like how dark it is, it reminds of S/T in some ways. LOVE that!

My favorite songs so far: Geometric Headdress, HEARTS/WIRES, (L)MIRL, Gore, PHANTOM BRIDE and RUBICON. The last part of the album is fantastic. Rubicon is the best closing track since Pink Maggit, imo.

(L)MIRL: The intro and the first verse are very dark and sinister. Definitely agree with the review(s) that said it was like the soundtrack to a psychological thriller. Probably the most sinister-sounding they've ever been. Dark, but not in a painfully-raw, 'Deathblow' or 'Mascara' kind of way. But then the music changes and gets uplifting, happy-sounding almost, which is such a drastic switch in mood that I don't really like it.

agree. okey at the beginning, sounds like it could build up to something. but they lose me when it goes over to the uplifting joy segment.pretty dull song in its entirety to be honest.chino's screams at the end can't save it. if this is the "soundtrack to a psychological thriller" that reviewer forgot to mention that the second act of the film turns into a cheesy romantic chick flick .

convinced that pittura Infamante, xenon, (L)MIRL will become skippers for me. rest is acceptable,good and some of it great

[CarloDefDonno]

I don't understand how people consider Phantom Bride and Rubicon uplifting.

The original opening track, dropped last second.

[Kwerty]

Wow. Finally got time to listen to the album properly. LMIRL, Xenon, H/W and Gore are great but Rubicon has absolutely blown me away. Amazing album closer. The mixture or melloncollie and optimism/euphoria is giving me mad feels.

Rest of the album hasn't grabbed me yet but I reckon it's going to grow. I don't get the love for geometric headress at the moment though. Id rate it as weakest track for me.

Rip quality sucks and I can't wait to get my preorder on Friday. Don't think the quality has detracted  from the experience too much though as the strongest bits on the album for me so far is the melodies which come through the fuzzy sludge anyway.

The thing with (L)MIRL is that yes it does get uplifting .. And although it is awkward at first, if you listen to the lyrics and draw a picture in your head, its still a very psycho song.. Its a happy sound but with dark lyrics, its like putting a good ol 20's dance song in a bloody gruesome movie. Idk if i make any sense?

listening to hw in better quality was way better..didn't notice that the rhythm guitar bends half a note from time to time..like the music in 28 days later film intro ("East Hastings" Godspeed You Black Emperor) or chelsea wolfe's "simple death"...those background chords/synths do it too. it made hw more creepy and depressing. didn't catch that in the vinyl rip. love it

ok! will listen more when the cd drops. these are all first impressions.i'm careful not to overplay it

[ConcealingFate92]

Good morning guys!


Been listening Hearts/Wires on Spotify and guys, really, it's on another level!! That vinyl rip served to calm down our hunger, but we will only be fully satisfied when 8th comes.

What if Crest is worse than Pittura Infamante, huh? How could you live with yourself?!

Yeah. I wish they'd stuck with how it sounded at the beginning, before the happy sound kicks in, because that was really awesome, it had so much potential. I enjoy Pittura Infamante and Xenon, but the intro to Pittura sounds so un-Deftones-like, it's weird. As for Xenon, for me it didn't live up to the hype I put on it based on the little clip we got a while back. It's the chorus, for me, but the rest of it I like.

I don't understand how people consider Phantom Bride and Rubicon uplifting.

Phantom Bride, no idea, that's a freaking sad song. Rubicon I can see it, not just musically but lyrically, it sounds...not necessarily 'happy', but definitely uplifting, optimistic. But that's just me.

that's just me taking chances.. donnu if i trust chino's selections,i mean the song he thinks is the worst is "gore", and it's quite good,especially the verses.that and i'm pretty sure anything is better than PI. i do remember pi was alright last 10-20 sec if i remember correctly. will get into it more on friday
