EROS - no leak topic

[Formant]

Also...is everyone else assuming the end of Electra eventually morphed/evolved into the ending to Royal?

I'm getting more influence from Beware vibes from it, instead of an evolution into Royal. That's just me though.

I don't really think any riffs here directly moved to future albums-- like had been claimed before the leak. However, certain creative choices started here, like Steph playing upper register solo-type melodies and more lumbering, simple riffs.

To me, the only things they put on future material would be taking the R out of Trempest and using the word Diamond.

After the third listen I kinda get Rocket Skates vibes off Electra's chorus.

By the way, what's that talk at the end of Margot? Like, was it intended or someone literally talked during the recording lol.

this album is a weird multidimensional fever dream, it's so bizarre this wasn't a part of my life fifteen years ago cause cause it would've felt right at home. sucks for the lads it got pushed out like this and can't even imagine what it feels like to basically have someone rip out pages from your musical diary (and sell it at that) but god damn man it's good shit

18 years in the making, and we finally hear it. very unexpected. it sounds about exactlty how Chino described it. 80% music done, 50% vocals done. you can tell sone of these vocals are just melody fillers, rough ideas. but the album is far far closer to complete than the old bob ezrin demos, with really really rough vocals on only a few tracks. every track here has vocals, and somewhat mixed sounding. i've only heard it once. about to listen to it again in a little while. this is wild that it leaked, and the tracks all have vocals

was there also a b-side from ohms released? cause i could never find it
(gore b-side?)

Agree it's some good shit.

I see how band says it needs work but damn is it some classic Deftones. Most of the tracks could be worked out a little, mixed, mastered and I'd be happy. I think it's Chino who was most unhappy with how it was in it's present state.

And I respect others' opinions and all but everyone talking about how great Candy is, Why

Why

wHy

Whyyyy

[Draken]

Actually same here. I still didnt listen to it. Its getting difficult.

That's some self restraint right there, gawd damn.

So have you listened to it yet?

It's not about charity, it's about doing the right thing. They clearly do not want this material out and everyone knows it. What sort of a fan would spit in the face of that, especially knowing the circumstances around the album?

chino doesn't want the material out, and i respect that given the circumstances. however, i wouldn't say that's true of every member. i haven't and will likely never listen to eros. i think it's a damn shame how it made it to the internet and i got a bad vibe from that guy the second i noticed him on here.

I get what you are saying, but even in those interviews Abe says it needs a lot of work before it would be released officially. Clearly that work has not happened.

oh, i agree that the album was leaked in an unfinished state. i'm just saying that of the band members who didn't want eros to come out, chino was the most vocal of them. like i said, it's a damn shame it got leaked like this and i'm not listening to it.
