EROS - no leak topic

[from_musings]

Can't believe Eros finally leaked. The material is absolutely incredible: dark, weird and beautiful. Old school tones but a step forward.
Even the more "upbeat" songs in terms of mood have something sad lurking in the background.
I fucking love the raw, underground, demo feel to it, for me there's nothing more that needs to be done to this material, It's perfect exactly as it is. It's like a mix of SNW and ST, while still sounding completely fresh and innovative.
It was better than I could ever have imagined or hoped or. It actually lived up to the myth!

I'd say the record is easily top 3 for me, right after adrenaline and the self titled.

Now, they should release this as a bundle — something like "Eros Sessions" or "Unfinished Eros Demos." etc - LP, CD, photos from the studio, T-shirt, whatever. Then SELL it. I'd honestly chip in a fortune just because it's that damn good
This should've been done a long time ago, but it's not too late!

I find that Brenda is the best song of this bunch. Once it shifts gears into the bridge/outro, it becomes like a sorrowful Cherry Waves.  Nothing like it.

I'm still undecided between Briana with OR without vocals. I think it's just a matter of the version I'm used to (no vocals).

What are your thoughts about them playing these songs live? I was just thinking about the upcoming Dia De Los Deftones show and how the setlists tend to be more varied with them playing songs they haven't played in a while.

Some of the Eros songs are far more complete than others but they played Smile in 2019 and I think there is like 0,001% chance they could play it again. Apart from that I don't think they will ever play these songs live

They wouldn't play songs from Eros even if they didn't care about the leak, but they are NOT happy about it, so it will definitely, DEFINITELY not be happening.
