Gore

[Seven]

Rubicon , that's whack!

[stephtones]

the more lyrics we rehash, the crowd goes wild....
goes wildd........

[The Prodigy]

It's the same old song!

[boogabear123]

Lol, Chino has been rehashing lyrics ever since Like Linus. It's nothing new. So with that being said, I really liked Gore.

[The Prodigy]

For me, Gore marks a low point in the Deftones career, and I'm not sure if they'll ever bounce back from it.  It sounds like a band trying to do their best Deftones impression between the music and lyrics.  Some songs like Gore and Doomed User are heavy for the sake of being heavy, but in the end not very compelling between bland riffs, strained vocals, and uninspired lyrics.  The whole album in fact is filled with pedestrian lyrics that ultimately say nothing and come off either forced or insipid.  Chino's faltering voice does nothing to push their immediacy either.  It appears the sedentary, unencumbered life, while making for a happier existence for the band, also makes for a boring performance that serves as merely the fulfillment of a servant obligation enabling the band to tour, get some press, and sell some outrageously-priced yet also uninspired merchandise.  It's a sad state of affairs, but after almost 30 years it's also not that much of a shocker.

You wanna know what it's like?! Then, watch this!
You wanted this. Welcome to my world!

I am happy with all their lyrical choices.  From Like Linus to Gore.

Diamond Eyes, Koi no Yokan and Gore = medíocre!

Nearly a year out, Gore is still probably their worst in my opinion (though S/T is also pretty bad and I can't decide which one is worse overall). After how great KNY was, this was incredibly disappointing.

[nicklav]

S/T mediocre... Bite your tongue!

[Seven]

S/T = mediocre, for sure!

[rainnyx4]

I've said it a million times, S/T has a couple of their best songs (Anniversary and WGTB) but overall it's an incredibly lazy and uninspired album. Didn't help that it came out after their best work.

[stephtones]

I like some tracks off S/T better than the entirety of Gore. Generally people who didn't like S/T wanted another White Pony album and those who didn't like SNW wanted more of the same. I have to agree with the person before who mentioned Gore was the first time "It sounds like a band trying to do their best Deftones impression between the music and lyrics."

I also enjoyed DE and KNY, even if not as much as when Chi was writing with the band, as I felt he added way more to their sound. Sergio seems like a nice guy but Quicksand was always forgettable to me.

S/T is their third best album after WP and ATF. Gore is in SNW territory, meaning that it has some excellent songwriting but production problems (but it's also a more cohesive album than SNW). Koi is their worst album. It's overly-produced style with minimal substance. But being that it's a Deftones album, it's still pretty good. None of this is opinion. This is all 100% Deftones fact.

S/T is unquestionably my favorite Deftones album. It's not even a close contest.

Consider the source...Band members ? Fans? S/T = lame

Gore is best tones

100% !!!

Listened to Gore today. I still love the song writing and there's some killer stuff on it but honestly... if ever an album needed to be remixed and remastered and then re-released, it's this (well, apart from The Blackest Beautiful). I can't listen to it on anything other than the CD.

Gore is a solid mindfuck and I'm glad people bitch about it because it's funny to read, and people bitching about it is better than them kicking their dog.
