"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

[from_musings]

Not sure if it was mentioned yet but Zach Hill is one of the snapping fingers on The Spell of Mathematics.

having a guest guitarist, when 2 in the band play guitar, is weird, but bringing in someone as a guest to snap his fingers is even weirder.
maybe he produced the drum machine in tsom

Not saying it's a bad song at all but the more I listen to this album, the more Genesis sticks out negatively.

Special Guest Finger Snapper LOL
The years of practice needed must have been daunting...

it really sounds good though.. can't deny it

This album is entirely insane! Every song feels like an album if you give em ten times repeat. And today I am stuck with Headless and the part that Chino singing after "you seek desire... someday..." makes me insane cause I have to know what is he saying. Any ideas?

Once Ohmsthony Notafantano finds out the Death Grips guy snaps his fingers on the album he'll change his score to a 9/10.

looks like the album is only gonna sell 33k (ish) it's first week. Gore sold 69k it's first. that drop off is insane. wtf, like everyone just went bye bye on deftones? oh well, they have their platinum albums, and 10 million sold worldwide. the high selling days are long gone

[Moana91]

Everyone just take a deep breath and say, Ohms.......

I bought the Record through iTunes, I also went to 2 local record stores to buy the CD this week as well and they had not come in yet. Strange...Betting week 2 sales will be close to week 1.

No. Album sales are collapsing year on year. Add in a global pandemic too.

I guess I should get bent. Sorry for wasting the board's time.

The music industry has changed a lot in the past few years. Albums don't really sell much anymore unless you're a mainstream mega star - and even they flop now too like Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and that Beyonce/Jay-Z album.

I dont want this to sound harsh, but I dont think they will get that comotion on sales, ever. WP is their most successfull record and the numbers are not even close to some crap from the same time. They are not popular, I wish they were. Its been like that since I can remember. People from all fronts praise them for a number of good reasons, yet, they are like that gigantic and influential band thats going to leave a mark forever, after they decide to hang up the instruments, BUT its not going to come to public knowledge. Its not to everyone. I have friends who strongly hate them for their own reasons.

As a diehard fan, I think they should be way bigger, but if you look at their sound, their core and everything about them, they shy away from the spotlights all the damn time (or most of the time, anyway). Look at Chino. Does not bother me, tbh. It is what it is, I made peace with it long ago.

People cant see shit, even in front of them. Their loss.

Whoahh.... they "strongly HATE them"? Can u elaborate? Can you remember one of your friends exact reasons? Or is it the music period? Just dont get it like most people? Like for example, my mother thinks Chino sounds like hes strung out on heroin.... doesnt get his melodies and cant hear him as an instrument. Yeah hes unique, but people some people, just dont get it.  Btw ive heard other people say he sounds strung out too. Wish I could go back and show them where he is rated as an all-time great singer now maybe they would give it another poke but anyways...

[Visionz]

No matter what happens, everyone here has special ears. U were blessed to jive with this shit man. Its pretty fucking great too. Love this band forever. Been with me a very long time now and probably always will be. I just hope they keep making music and stay interested in making it for as long as possible. For a few years now I've been waiting for Chino to end it and not in a bad way, but to explore other genres and make the music he wants to make. Let's face it he enjoys the hang, but I believe he enjoys making the other music he's been making that's just my opinion

So my best friend, right? She is (or used to be, idk anymore) a HUGE Muse / Silverchair fan. She hates Chino. Says he moans way too much and its kinda of a turn off. Loves the band instrumentally, though. As a drummer, she has a big appreciation for Abe's way of playing. Most of them just dislike Chino's style, or how out of touch / tune he is most of the time, live (which is kinda true, since during some years he was either drunk or high... or both, during shows. We can all agree Youtube does not help this particular case, yes?).

Personally, I couldnt care less about it. I love his way of singing and I saw them live twice. He was SPOT on (back in '07 and `'11). I know hes kinda hit and miss, but as long as they keep making great records, like Ohms, Im fine.

I've know her for almost 20 years and til this day she makes fun of me bc I love them so much. I get back at her tho, she likes a lot of shitty music.

I don't know anyone irl who likes Deftones lol. My brother hates them but he listens to shit like Breaking Benjamin, I was laughing when i showed him not one but two videos of them covering Deftones.

I can picture the surprise on his face, lol...

I think we all probably know someone like your friend. I get the jokes and shit from friends too, even my wife sometimes. Their loss idc. Youre either not liking it at all, casual listener or total die hard like most people round here. Im happy to be the latter. I've always known I wasn't alone on this. I have always assumed because of their smaller diehard fan base compared to a lot of other bands, that those fans had people around them just not getting it. I've never had a problem getting people to go to shows with me to see Deftones but all they got out of it was crowd surfing and moshing so I didn't see them for the whole two hours of the show because I was somewhere trying to listen and enjoy the show  I was walking out of a show in Detroit Michigan to see hundreds or thousands of people in those city streets dancing around because we had finally hunted down and killed Osama bin Laden! And I remember linking up with my friends and my two brothers that were with me to ask them what they thought and they could totally care less LOL obviously it was something to celebrate but fuck, I just wanted to know what they thought about Deftones' show bc they fucking ripped it up that night LOL
