OHMS is on my top 3 now!
Jesus Christ, this are my favorite chino's lyrics since self titled.
And all the days I've missed you 🍂

I just got an update on my UPS Deftones package, it has an arriving date which is Saturday but the weird thing is that it was already in California but I guess now is back in Kansas which is weird af but I'm glad that I finally got an update and an specific delivery date.

Ohms is still amazing. I haven't lost my desire to listen to it, even after dozens of plays.

The best track on the album is Ceremony. Final answer.

It's followed closely by Urantia and Error.

Far away

Surprisingly I haven't been listening to it as much as I thought I would. Not for any particular reason as I have it on now. Headless is still the best track

Edit: never thought I'd say this but I theres parts of it where I don't care for the production on the vocals.

Second edit: Ohms is probably one of the best songs on the record

Still waiting for my pre-order, with no response from the support team :/

I finally got mine yesterday (Southern California) so hopefully the rest are not too far off!

Unfortunately not (in The Netherlands).
I did get a reply from the support team; it hasn't shipped out yet.
That does answer the underlying fear that it had been lost in shipping, so that's something. I suppose maybe I'll get it around Christmas?

I'm still waiting for the t-shirt from my preorder bundle in the UK  :(

After listening to this album dozens of times, I think it's a mid-pack Deftones album.  Albums I would personally place ahead of it are WP, ATF, ST, and SNW.  It is a solid album but too repetitive and not very innovative.  TSOM is my favorite track.

A mid-tier Deftones album is a great album.

This. It'd be interesting to hear Deftones stay true to who they are and also incorporate more Math Metal/Prog influences with new music resulting in an Alt Prog sound.

Had Chi never died what would Deftones have continued to sound like and how would've Chi evolved as a bass player? Chi's playing undoubtedly affected how and what the rest of the band played and probably even how Chino sings and his lyrics. Chi's style and even choice of bass is different to Sergio's. No disrespect to Sergio. Sergio and Chi have different styles though. There was an interview with Chi where he mentioned being really musically influenced by recordings from Studio One which is a Jamaican record label that put out reggae, dub, and other Jamaican music. Personally I could really hear those influences and this is even mentioned on Wikipedia for Chi regarding recording Change.

Wow.
A couple of hours later and the mailman delivered the entire pre-order!
Woop woop!

EDIT: I feel I can now finally keep listening to this album on repeat, now that I heard it properly (on some physical format).

I'd also like to hear less screamy verses and soft chorus's.. if it's a softer song make it a softer song... don't need to be screaming just to do it... I feel like Chino pushed screaming where he didn't need to on some songs..

I agree. I really wanted a slower atmospheric song on the album in the same vein as a Sextape or Beauty School. We got close with Pompeji but I feel like his screams, while good, were unnecessary in that song.

I got my pre-order yesterday, so I'm set. The only problem now - my record player went ka-put. It straight up won't spin. I haven't used it in about a month - it's some random Amazon crap i've had for like 8 years, and the speakers blow... So now I have a nice new Vinyl and nothing to play it on so I can finally look into something I've had my eye on for awhile

I fully agree with this

Ohms is really a standout track. Never thought so when i first heard it , but after hearing it with the entire album, I realize how much I love that song. It's just so energetic and actually turned out to be a great closer for the album.

The Spell Of Mathematics, Error and Ohms are my current top three.
