Gore

[HooiserBowhunter]

I went and snagged the cd today while I was out and about even though I bought it on iTunes. I gave the cd another listen while reading the lyrics. Rubicon & Geometric Headdress has grown on me a touch after a couple more listens. I absolutely love the dark day dreamy state of (L)mirl. After reading the lyrics it confirmed my love for Doomed User, Hearts/Wires, Acid Hologram, Gore, (L)mirl, and Phantom Bride. I love the riff of Xenon, but not digging the course as much. As for Prayers/Triangles I think I have just burnt myself out on that song. Pittura Infamante has great parts, but Im still not exactly in love with it. What if Dwarf Dicks equals Crest?

Is Dick Dwarfs/crest audible ? As in there is audio for that song out there?

There is no audio for Crest as far as I know. All we know is that it was the opening track that Chino decided to drop b/c he wanted people to hear Prayers/Triangles after not hearing new material from them since Koi. I was just speculating of course.

Doomed user is one of my favs, i dont skip it at all, neither songs on the album i wanna skip, the only time ive ever skipped a track is prayers, but that was just like a couple of times out of a thousand

Maybe, I'm just being a nerd but, the font used for GORE really reminds of the font Nirvana used for it's name which is Bodoni Poster-Compressed, according to the google.

Is it the same, I'm really just wondering, if not, where can i get it?

[thetimeisdead]

Pittura and Headdress really grew on me.

[Hidalgo]

a bit of greek mythology in Gore?

"the writers of your fate" on xenon, could be "the fates"/ the sisters of fate/moirai

"hail to the Gods" pittura infamante (Zeus, Ares, Hades, Posiedon, etc)

i dig me some greek mythology, so

Pablo shouldn't you be focusing on star wars cannon?

Listened to the album 3 times so far...and it's really growing on me. But god damn Acid Hologram is just the tits. I've had it looping in my head all day - takes me back to the S/T era for some reason.

Rubicon has no precedent in Deftones' catalog. It's just super different and I think you either "get it" or you don't with that type of music. It's a funnel of noise and emotion and not very pretty, like the individual parts by themselves aren't as melodic as say Geometric headdress chorus.  It's meant to pound you over the head. But for me, when Chino opens the song and is voice cracks, you can tell the urgency and vulnerability and genuine fear right there and I'm sold. It's one of the reasons I think people (who "get it") are coming away from Rubicon thinking it could be their last song, because between that cracking voice and that chorus, it's the entire climax of Gore as an album and seems like it could be the climax of their career.

Has anyone else thought that this record is about one woman? Not like a concept album, more like a common theme.

My take:

Doomed User: I have to assume drug use
Geometric Headdress: love/hate relationship
(L)MIRL: I don't miss you/ I don't care where you are
Gore: She is the aftermath (gore) of the guy's choices. His vice
Phantom Bride: direct thoughts about the woman. She is dead to him, maybe not literally but figuratively

I was also reading someones take that Prayers/Triangles was about depression which, I don't know if I buy, would fit into this theme.

Even if I'm way off, it makes the album fun when I listen

[CarloDefDonno]

The slow chords and opening verse on guitar during (L)MIRL is slowly becoming a highpoint of the album for me. I play guitar and I wish I would have come up with something like that for myself.

Not sure how I feel about the progression afterwards but the first half of that song is beautiful.

That progression is very team sleep-ish.  They use such chords a lot in their songs. I have been jamming to them a lot

I buy this.  As I was wondering elsewhere, I want to know who it is...

Also Pittura Infamante is (sort of) about death, or the separation of the body

[neirda]

I thought at  first that there was nothing special about HW, but it has grown on me so much. Damn! The way Chino and Stephen dialogue during the chorus, It gives me shivers. I like the tension created. No explosion, it just evolves close to the edge. Favoourite track at the moment.

Now I have a pb with Xenon. It's a good song, but Chino's voice lacks of something. Rage or desperation, power...
It sounds a bit bland.

Personal ranking now

1: HW
2:prayer/Triangles, acid hologram, GH, PB, Rubicon
3:Doomed User, PI, LMIRL, Gore, xenon

Perfect description of that song.

Apparently Pittura Infamante means "a 3-minute tsunami of skullfucking psycho noise" in Latin

I think it's 90% occult themes but that's just my opinion.  Seems pretty straight forward to me but I guess we all see things a little differently.
