Gore

[B0RNtoR0CK]

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.

It really fucking does man lol

I really wish it were friday

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 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..

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

Prep yourself

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

I already know it won't, because nothing they've done has ever disappointed me (*cue Jaypeyton entrance*)

It's down to me asking myself "Just how fucking far out the top of my skull is this album going to blow my mind...?"

[illthrowROCKS@U]

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.

Well, if I am honest I'd say that I really didn't like the direction they were going. Well, comparitively to their earlier music anyway.

That all changed this week, though.

Ditto man. 100%

You were great in Miss Congeniality

Thanks, bruh

Was so sad when you died in The Hateful 8

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

Best choruses for sure:
Phantom bride
Xenon
LMIRL
P/T

Generally catchy as fuck:
Pittura infamante
Geometric headdress
Acid hologram
Rubicon
H/W

Not really catchy but pummeling intensity:
Doomed user
Gore

[NYRexall]

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.

Read that Spin interview Chino did that was posted a few days ago; he basically writes Eros off as a messy, uninspired jam session with little direction, that was still six months from completion when Chi had his accident

LOL @ KNY not expanding their sound. There were so many things that they did on that album that they had never done before.

If you don't like the album that's fine. But at least come up with something that makes sense for why you don't like it.

[NYRexall]

So I'm curious to know...

How many of you on SL are jealous of the fact that I've yet to hear any of this album, and will do so for the first time in gleaming, screaming high-quality audio?

Im not jealous. I too am yet to hear the mysterious beast that is music from our sac skater boys.

but slowly dying with anticipation. i guess i may be jealous of you're projected calmness about the situation.

You won't survive

I grew up on 10th generation and worse punk rock demos so not having a pristine copy of Gore is ok for a few days.  I had the mixdown demo of get your goat about a month before it came out and didn't care about sound quality, it was great. Not to mention zillions of live shows & sub par demos.  I'm ok with roughing it

I was until I stopped myself from listening to the shitty rip anymore, and I can hardly remember any of it. Except i've heard P/T and Doomed numerous times so I guess that's not the same. It'll still all be fresh to me though at least. You're ballsy though letting all the reviews hype it up for you so much. Hopefully you can enjoy it after all this lol

I actually went to my local JBhifi this morning. And desperately asked if Gore was available. I expressed i was very sad that every store i had been too had been sold out. I tried to trick the sales kid, by saying the friday release date is for amercia and he must have been given the wrong information.

Didn't work out as planned. So i may go back with a beanie and condoms later tonight after dark...
