Deftones - Ohms (September 25, 2020) Album • Page 28

I think it might be hard for some people to get into maybe because they've kind of mastered the quiet/loud dynamics to the point where they never go too extreme in either direction. there are pretty moments and there are really loud aggressive moments but it definitely feels purposeful in not letting it veer too far either way

 

ohms crushes

 

jesus fucking christ this album

 

Pompeji is the best

 

You guys are really amping up my anticipation for tomorrow. Can't wait to listen.

 

"error".... that's the hit

 

how could anyone not like Ceremony?

 

Hey there. Don't judge it so early. Maybe you will feel the same later but I would bet you won't. Let it breath.

 

I only heard the song once in the car this morning and I’ve still been singing “I’m leaving you toniiiiiiight” to myself all day

 

Error is so good

I can agree that Genesis might be the weakest song here but I still like it

 

Headless is the unsung hero here. Record really hits its stride for me after the midsong transition in Error and goes hard the rest of the way, even if Ohms feels a little out of place

 

yeah I love Headless

 

the synths on this... my god

 

That rising chorus on TSoM is so goddamn good.

 

these guitars are HOT

 

this album is SO smashing pumpkins

 

Error verses are the grooviest goddamn thing I've heard all year

 

First Deftones album released since I became a fan, very excited to hear this

 

KNY and Self Titled, love everything between White Pony and KNY though

this is my fourth listen, I still feel this way. if there's a band I listen to very intensively, it's them.

some people in /r/deftones had similar feelings. people are calling this aggressive, whereas I think it's sluggish as hell. someone in this thread made a comparison to Smashing Pumpkins. I agree, but I don't think that works for their sound here at all.

I don't even think this is their most aggressive album.

 

sure you're not listening to Gore?

 

this is at least as heavy as diamond eyes, which i consider to be one of their heaviest especially since the turn of the century.

 

Very sure. For what it's worth I do think this is better than Gore. Especially the production, which was *horrible* on Gore.

 

I'm clearly the outlier here. I'm glad it's clicking for y'all! Luckily we have a band that has like six absolute bangers to their name before this, so there's no shortage of this band to go back and listen to. I really really really wanted to like this, but I'm just not remotely hearing the same album, especially the aggressiveness. :/

 

they really went for it with This Link Is Dead

 

This will be my first Deftones album
