"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

[Drop-Dead]

The Spell of Mathematics simply is one of their best songs. I kinda hate to say things like that but seriously. What a composition. The 9-string rhythm is such a cool move. It's also amazing how they're able to use such heavy tools and still come up with a somewhat smooth song, in all its sonic power.

I've read a no to Urantia from you and now yes to TSOM, are we the only ones with JBL's?

Listened to the album twice, first time through a fairly solid pair of earpieces, second time through a small Anker sound system.

I don't really care to consume my music through a Bose X454546SSWREIK with jetpack propulsion-based bass booster. Okay, I sound like a dick, but better quality playing doesn't have much of an impact on my opinions I gotta say. I don't feel Urantia at all.

I did a song-by-song posting series on the DeftonesLive FB to help promote the album.

For what it's worth, the songs that won the like battle (by a landslide) were "Ceremony", "The Spell of Mathematics" and "This Link is Dead", with 2k+ each. Only "Error" contended a bit, with over 1k+. "The Spell of Mathematics" has got the most likes out of them all.

I'm not counting the likes that "Genesis" and "Ohms" got through the many posts I made of those before that series.

You need a job with their PR, dude.

The Deftones job I'd like is footage archivist, but hey that'd be cool.

Double pay for the dual role mate lol

Why? The title track became a favourite of mine after the album release.

Why what? I'm looking at the poll and the title track has 2 votes, Genesis has 5. If we had heard Genesis on release it'd easily be competing with TSOM.

Sir I agree

[only pieces remain]

Imo, Ohms is a damn good track but not a good pick for a single at all. Ruins the album experience, at least for me. Ironically, even though it's one of my least fav tracks, I think urantia would been the best choice for the first single. Heavy riff track with catchy vocal melody that isn't the closer. Genesis is fine as the second single I think.

It was funny. never thought we would be on the same page about the new songs. Anyways I think TSOM is not a Deftones song, it's a new Deftones song. It's like TSOM is their new road to some kind of TDSOTM (The Dark Side of the Moon), how weird is that?! I think the band will take a new progressive/gaze/experientialism approach in new albums with some Urantias here and there.

I feel that too. And as for your Pink Floyd reference, the beginning of Headless with that "ambient" and Chino's faded shouts really reminded of some Pink Floyd.

Weird is that I don't recall them talking about PF in recent interviews. It's like an unconsciouness influence.

Chino actually mentioned Floyd in the Daniel P Carter stream someone posted a page or two ago.

That was weird. I was midthrough it and yes he comes with PF in the conversation. It was about Pompeji I think... and the seagulls/transitions. That was timing!

[Visionz]

God the second half especially of error is just heavenly. I dig it more and more every time I hear it really the whole album in that case. And then how it blends in to spell.damn that is the Deftones I love and can't wait to share with my children

"I love transitions. If you're making a record these days, everything's so single driven. If you're gonna make a record that's a piece of music—and it's not a conceptual piece of music, but the fact that every song can sort of transition to one another, when things like that happen; that takes me back to some of my favorite records of all-time, be it Pink Floyd or whatever..."  There's also mentions of "Floydian moments"

Thanks! I drew the avatar myself. I did one of Chi, which I'll have to post at some point.

Yeah, luckily I didn't listen to the singles before the album dropped, so I'm not taken out of the experience when they play on the record. That being said, I did have an internal debate after the first two listens if Headless and Ohms should have been switched in the track lineup, but I think they definitely made the right call with Ohms as the closer; I'm not sure I'd feel that way if I had listened to the track a lot out of context of the album though.
