Since I preordered the album way back when, will this album populate to my iTunes at midnight tonight?

Yes

The first average review of Gore that I've come across. Somehow this only makes me more excited to listen to it tomorrow!

As much as I disagree, I can see where he is coming from, especially if he really liked the more direct approach of the last 2 albums.

From the most negative review to the most positive one http://altdialogue.com/2016/04/07/album-review-gore-by-deftones/

I've listened to the album like a thousand times now (like at least 20), but I'm still incredibly hyped for tomorrow

Good to see gore is so badass... M83 leaked finally about to check it out. Two of my favorite bands... Now only if radiohead's album dropped out of nowhere tomorrow too!!

Is M83 any good?  I've only heard that song Midnight City, and it bores me to death.  Is that the kind of music they do?  Is there anything worth giving a shot that is nothing like that song?  Every time it comes on the radio I change the channel as fast as I can...

M83 are awesome but yes they do mostly heavy 80s inspired synthy music mixed with some Pink Floyd influence. Hurry up we're dreaming is a stellar record... This new one is not so great after the first spin... Check out the song we own thing sky https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ-sKXuauTY

Deftones actually used Be Wild by M83 as a concert intro once. that song is just epic imo

Grabbed a good version a few days ago and wanted hold out to listen straight through.  Finally did this morning and fuck my sweet ass its really good.  Ves mentioned a possible honeymoon period and I know what he means, had it with KNY, but digesting it more and more feels really good.  Has all the parts of tones Im looking for.  Im old as shit so I fall in the ATF WP ST and some SNW crew.   Not that I didnt like DE and KNY just feels different with this.

Ive only listented to Prayers/Triangles, decided to hold off listening to any leaks or other tracks the band added to Spotify. Got the CD and Vinyl arriving tomorrow, looking forward to hearing it!

I think Phantom Bride is my favorite song ever.

Geometric Headdress is an auditory fever dream.

Okay, here's my ultimate decision - Gore is the most solid record Deftones have ever put out.

Hear me out..

I'm not saying it's their "best," or even my "favorite," but I can't remember a Deftones album that had such good songs all the way through.

Even my favorite records have songs I don't really like at all.  Adrenaline had Bored, ATF had Mascara, WP had Teenager, ST had AOAUE, SNW has Pink Cellphone, DE had 976 and TPID, KNY had Tempest, .  All of these records are fantastic, but I just don't dig those particular songs on them.  Then there's even a few more not in the "dislike" pile, but certainly in the "meh" pile like Good Morning Beautiful, Moana, Elite, YSTB, most of DE and KNY actually.

With Gore, though, I really can't find a single song I dislike.  Not even a "meh" song.  If I had to had to had to pick the weakest track I'd say it's probably Gore, but even that still had its merits.

Now, the only caveat is that Gore doesn't seem to have THE ONE.  That ONE song that just drives me wild.  For example, while ST has some throwaways on it, songs like Hexagram and Bloody Cape are just fucking amazing.  Bloody Cape is probably my favorite song ever from any artist ever.  There's really nothing on Gore that's OMG AMAZING.  Royal is fucking amazing, Kimdracula is fucking amazing, WGTB is amazing, Knife Prty is amazing, etc etc.  Gore doesn't have that for me, yet... just sort of really really good songs that just need that last little UMPH.

If there was just that ONE song, that really threw it over the edge for me, it might be my favorite album of theirs.  But it doesn't at the moment.  Acid Hologram is close, but it doesn't quite reach that OMG AMAZING level.

Still in my top 4 though!
