Gore

[kly617]

All this talk about this album being weird, experimental, unlike anything the band has ever done...would any of you safely assert that this album, years from now, will be looked back on as a blueprint for a new sound in modern-day hard rock? Kind of like the way people look at albums like SDRE's Diary, STT's Pony Express Record or MBV's Isn't Anything and say "Yep, there's definitely elements of the sound Deftones pioneered on their album Gore"

Or is it more a case of "It's a Deftones record, just a different-sounding kind of Deftones record"?

I'm thinking the latter

Well, then again, who the hell am I to say? Maybe it will influence bands in the future. I think I'm just hesitant to say it will pioneer anything because it has such a 90's alternative sound to me.

you may be surprised. alot of these kids never heard of hum, failure and even fuckin faith no more (which i still hear signs of FNM in the deftones to this very day). deftones is bringing that sound to the forefront but once again as always in their own way. i feel this album has gotten the proper hype but maybe not the best press.  i can see bitchfork giving a back handed compliment to the album because they even won't be able to deny this album called "Gore" is some powerful shit. it will turn heads

downloading these toss up links that could have been computer destroying viruses just to get a piece

i.e. pretty much every Deftones album since WP 

[NYRexall]

Maybe, but I've loved pretty much all the stuff I've heard from it (Melanie, Smile, that Youtube jam). Also, Abe, Frank and, most importantly, Chi are all on record saying there's really great material on Eros.

Chino obviously thinks its mediocre and Steph's probably like "it'd be fine of it had more heavy guitar on it..."

Geometric Headdress = Afternoon With the Axolotls on speed

I thought everyone was saying GH was a weird experimental "WTF is this" track?

So it's a sonic rager, or...?

I'd call it more of a WTF is this track lol

Geo is basically 3 songs in one. Its fast, weird, and melodic.

Good way to describe it

Hmmm

You're definitely not the first to mention Gore having a 90s alternative sound, which I'm very keen to hear

So it's basically a case of if Deftones had made a record conglomerating all their 90s alternative influences? Some are saying 80s metal, others are saying 90s alternative, but those are two very different sounds and genres..

All this pondering just = holy fuck I can't wait to hear this thing in a few days

I can't wait for you to hear it. It's fantastic.

True. And the Pitchfork review will be, err, interesting. The guy who has been giving middling reviews to Chino's side project releases is actually a big Deftones fan and seems to love KNY. I can't agree with him that KNY is better than classic Team Sleep songs performed live and Crosses, but hey, to each their own.

And in only 3.5 minutes? This is going to really be something..

The heavy parts on Geometric > The heavy parts on Gore

Geometric headdress is so fucking weird

Acid hologram, however, which really does have an Afternoon w the Axolotls sound (same chords) is just way devastating

Those 2 tracks are SICK.  So hard to say which Gore tracks are "best"

It really is! I keep bouncing around, they have their own awesome characteristics.

[NYRexall]

You can't wait? Dude, this is like sadomasochistic, reading everyone talk about this thing without yet hearing more than a few bars from that initial teaser. I'm like burning around the edges here

Just so you know, I'm seriously going to dick-punch you if I listen to this thing on Friday and it sounds nothing like Hum/STT/Cat. Wheel, etc.
