Gore

[LG95]

My friend doesn't like the new album, says it's too noisy. I'm not entirely sure what he means like that, since he listens to various kinds of metal. But needless to say, I need a new friend who can enjoy Deftones as much as I do.

It's the worst thing when you have a friend who seemingly should like Deftones but doesn't. You just have to pick better friends.

Maybe is talking about the mix of the album instead of the distorsion or something. The mixing of gore is different than DE or KNY, maybe darker.

Yeah he is. Has a more raw sound that he finds grating, which I guess I can understand, since a lot of people do prefer the cleaner sound of the last two albums. Not most Deftones fans do though, since everyone here has been praying for Terry to come back, haha.

Minor spoiler alert maybe in regards to album booklet inc........








Chino thanks his manager for "believing in my vision and helping me see it through." I wonder what "vision" he means? Probably just has to do with all the different projects he is involved with but Chino talks about those projects like they just kind of found him and it happened and not like he had a "vision" to be in 4 groups.

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 sure that this may have been discussed at length throughout the last hundred or so pages, but one thing that really surprises me is the varied response to the album. Honestly, for the most part, you guys are loving this album well more than I expected. But a few friends of mine who have heard it are very split on the album. One of them absolutely adores it, while the other, a fan since the beginning that has listened to every album released with me, is calling it boring. What I'm wondering is whether or not the album is universally good because it is just good music, and it's as simple as that, or if it is the experience/emotional connection that it provides the listener? Like, is it really possible, after eight albums of material, that there could be such a rift between listeners  where something that is dull and boring to one individual is breathtaking end game-changing for another?

Just something that I noticed that surprised me. I'd like to hear your opinions, as I have yet to listen to it but, depending on the events of today, I may crack and listen.

I guess to some people the album isn't "br00tal" enough lolol.

I enjoy it so far. There are a few tracks I'm kind of meh on but honestly, over half of DT material I didn't like on first listen, it grew on me. So it may be a few days, weeks, months even.

Got to listen to the whole thing once before bed last night. I really enjoyed the real thing.. We were missing so much with the vinyl rip. Lmirl is so freaking gorgeous. What an incredible song! And Rubicon might be my favorite song they've ever written. Loving the record. They always push forward and evolve.

The album is not as immediate as KNY or Diamond Eyes were. Those albums have more "hit-sounding" songs. I don't see that in Gore, except for Phantom Bride or Doomed User.

The album didn't grab me at first listen, because I was subconsciously expecting the "hits". But after repeated listens I forgot that and welcomed darker songs like Acid Hologram, Gore or Xenon.

It's not strange that they chose Prayers and Doomed User as singles, as they are the more "friendly" songs, hooks, chorus, verses... But the beauty of the album lies on the other songs.

[thetimeisdead]

But one thing's for sure... The songs will sound fantastic when played live. Can't wait to see them again. I'm from Argentina, so I must wait...

So I'm pretty sure I'm stupid.

I got the FLAC just fine yesterday.  Didn't really know how to play it at first, but someone helped me and I ended up downloading VLC Player.  Okay, great.  I only really had time to sit and listen to Acid Hologram and it sounded fantastic, but I don't really have headphones so I was just listening through my crappy laptop speakers.  Whatever, it was still noticeably different.

I wasn't sure how to burn FLAC to a disc to listen to it in the car.  I couldn't find a way to do it within the VLC player, so I just did it through explorer.. the ol' click and drag.  Excellent, so the FLAC files moved to my CD.  I thought everything was going to be well and good, until I got in my car to go to work this morning and... nothing happened!  Just silence

So really, I've still only heard the vinyl rip at this point.  How can I get the songs to play in my car?  Not a tech guy, just a lowly CPA.

You know, to each their own but if I'm being truthful to myself, I don't see them putting out another "heavy" album. And it kind of bums me out that many of their fans refuse to see the writing that's been on the wall for years now.  Chino said it in an interview years ago...  The reason he's not writing a bunch of screaming part is because he wants to continue in the band  for years to come, not blow his voice out for the sake of making a "brutal" album

Winamp plays FLAC perfectly, and Nero burns CDs with FLAC content.

Really?  Personally, I thought the exact opposite.  DE and KNY were growers to me, very disappointing in those early days.  Still fairly disappointing, and live at the bottom of my Deftones heap.  Gore, on the other hand, has been immediate for me.

What you need to do is download a free program called Burrrn (yes 3 r's) and burn it from there, this burns flac files into audible files without loosing quality
