Deftones Band • Page 59

mein is fucking awesome wtf y'all

i also like pink cellphone without the coda

 

mein is seriously the only song I dislike in their disco!

What are some of everyone's least favorites?

If I had to choose another it would probably be elite. Though its good, I find it repetitive.

 

I don't wanna piss off any more of my fellow Deftones fan today so I will just say that Back to School is not exactly my fave.

 

Stop that, quit! All that, quit!
Who ruined it? You did!
So grab a notebook and a pen!

 

Elite is a top 10 Deftones song!

 

Pink Cellphone is my least favorite

 

I still like it! Its just a flat tire for me on WP.

Haha ok gotta choose one more, cuz that's ones pretty much given.

 

"back to school" is def my least fav deftones song

 

Back To School, Pink Cellphone, a lot of ATF, and all of Adrenaline

 

Other good producers besides Terry Date exist, in case you didn't know

 

S/T has the most clunkers of any Deftones album.

"Lucky You," "Deathblow," "Battle-Axe," "Moana," all total snooze-fests.

Don't hate "Minerva" but never understood the hype for it.

 

S/T is my least favorite Deftones album from WP-onward

 

Lucky You is good but not great. Deathblow is awesome, and Battle Axe, Moana, and Minerva are next level. S/T is dooooope

 

Minerva is top 5 for me, just settle into that groove.

 

S/t is some of my favorite production ever. So spacious and Chino's vocal effects make it so crazy.

 

Self-titled is their best and Minerva is like *the* definitive Deftones song to me. Not my favorite, but almost always the one I show people first when they ask me what this band sounds like.

 

I don't see how I was denying that.

But nobody's made Deftones sound as good he did. And given some of the issues with production since he stopped working with them, forgive me if I want him producing them again.

 

Blasphemy! Also Minerva is a top 5 Deftones song

 

Lucky You isn't exactly bad, it's just so goddamn forgettable.

 

Fair assessment

 

I'm sure other producers can get Deftones sounding great. The scope of their sonic qualities don't have to be held to Terry Date. You don't need to live in the past. There are plenty of producers out there who have put out great sounding work with heavy bands: Dave Fridmann with Baroness, Jack Shirley with Deafheaven, Kurt Ballou with Converge and Russian Circles, Matt Bayles with ISIS and Caspian, even Eric Palmquist with Thrice.

I see with Deftones fans all the time that they just want them to go back and work with Terry Date again. They haven't worked with him in, what, 10-15 years now? There are plenty of other intriguing options out there for Deftones as opposed to playing it safe with Date, which seems more and more like a pipe dream.

 

Moana rules. I can get lost in Chino's voice on that track forever.

And yeah, Terry Date please.

 

how do ya not like Moana ... idgi

 

Passenger was the coolest thing 12 year old me had ever heard.
