Gore

[pinata89]

Gore, Phantom Bride and Rubicon back to back isn't even fair lol

The way people are talking, this three-song stretch is the best thing on a Deftones record since ATF's blazing mid-album run of BQ&D, Lotion and DTF

I would add (l)mirl to the front of that list

Yeah one of the best tracks they've ever written imo.  That chorus is huge and massive.  It feels so warm.  Beautiful.

I don't really understand why everyone wants Eros so much.  It's not even close to being completed.  I honestly think it'd be a little underwhelming as well.  As much as I hate what happened to Chi, I think as a band and musically it completely rejuvenated them.

I think, despite Chi's accident and resulting death being extremely tragic for the band, fans, and his family members, that it did have a rejuvinating effect on them too.  But I still want to hear Eros eventually... why wouldn't anyone want to hear it?

But lets not go down this path right now, we all seem very happy with Gore.

The last 5 tracks are really very stellar.

No doubt.

Yeah I'd personally rather have the band write entirely new albums than release Eros.  This direction they've been going since Sergio entered the picture is amazing.

Pittura Infamante should have been the lead single. Seriously.  It would have fucking trolled Deftones fans so hard. Can you imagine if that song would have come out in place of P/T. 

We would have been expecting an album of metallized Italian folk music.

lol wtf

This song has serious Smashing Pumpkins vibes.  Love it.  Been growing on me a lot.  It was initially one of my least favorites even though I enjoyed it.  Now I'm starting to love it.

I've only heard Doomed User and Prayers/Triangles and I recently listened to Acid Hologram which I now have on repeat. I really like Acid Hologram, like I really really like it. Hard to believe it gets better from there.

I love that take on it.  The entire thing is very SP- like come to think of it...

[NYRexall]

I think it will

I think so too, actually

I absolutely love KNY. I know a lot of fans don't feel the same way, but when that record came out, I remember thinking "how can they top this?"

Now I'm reading all this hype about Gore and I'm thinking the same thing, and I haven't even heard the fucking album yet!

Like I was telling ANattyRat the other day, I've been a hardcore Deftones fan since ATF, but I truly believe Gore is going to be the culmination of that fandom. The point where I was rewarded immensely for following this band and their frontman's every move..

It def is.  You can hear some definite SP influence throughout the entire album.

Hooks on Gore kill.  So much Cocteau Twins catchiness.  Kind of shit that never leaves your head.  I was cutting the grass and Xenon was bugging the shit out of me for hours. Couldn't leave me alone!

Okay hot shot...let's hear your top 11 Gore songs, based on infectious choruses/hooks

I wholeheartedly think this album will not let you down at the slightest. They really went all out with this one!

i thought maybe i was the weird one for PI being my favorite track

Not clicking on that, lol

I want as LITTLE clue as to what's coming with this album as possible. I'll PM it to myself and go back to it Saturday and see what you mean 

[venomousinsipid]

Does anyone else feel like Sergio-era Deftones has had the same trajectory as Chi-era Deftones did thus far?

Hear me out:

You could say that with Diamond Eyes the band hit the reset button.  They went back to basics, back to the simple and straight forward.

Adrenaline was this way, I feel.  Very simple minded.  Solid, heavy, but just simple.  This is how I see DE; simple and basic, but till very good in its own right.

Around the fur, much like Koi no Yokan, didn't really do much to expand their sound.  Rather than expand and change their sound, ATF and KNY saw them perfecting the sound established on their respective previous albums.  They both took that sound they had on that previous album, and molded, shaped, and refined that sound.  But all in all, no major stylistic changes were made between these two albums.

Now we come to White Pony and Gore.  Completely left-field, totally different from what they had done before.  A big big, yuuuuge change in sound and direction.  Also both very polarizing releases, with many people who do not like the new direction, but with many many more people welcoming the changes with open arms for their genius.

I wonder if the guys are aware of the striking similarities?

Nice point of view. If this is true i need to hear the new selftitled <3
