Deftones - Ohms (September 25, 2020) Album • Page 52

Some pretty eyebrow-raising takes there if I'm honest. Putting Pink Cellphone in there is super controversial - especially when there's only one other SNW track on there. And far too much Adrenaline for my liking.

That said, pretty hard to argue with his top 5.

 

As a comprehensive overview of their discography (which is what he describes his intention as) I think it's an excellent list.

 

Pink Cellphone??

always knew this dude had shit takes (can't stand him) but lmfao

 

I know Ian has been unnecessarily harsh in his p4k reviews before, but I feel like I'll always check out a band he highlights and most of the time I'll like it.

 

hilariously bad, even by his standards

 

@Drew Beringer drop the canonical list

 

Well he got #1 (and probably #2 though that's not my personal pick) right and then it's all downhill from there

 

A mark of a solid discography is people don't agree on a list like this.

 

my list would have like, 5-6 KNY songs, y'all would hate that.

 

I think the top 10 is acceptable. It probably wouldn't be mine, but I don't mind it. But yeah, some of those choices are mind-boggling.

 

Already working on it haha

 

He's a little harsh on S/T as a whole in his descriptions. I guess that's expected but it also means we can never be friends.

 

as I said, just the worst takes

 

List unsurprisingly reads like a non-fan who quickly skimmed the discography, trying to fill it out evenly from different eras while leaning into singles and stylistic anomalies. So basically like most p4k reviews of decent music.

That said, at least he included Rosemary (their clear best, as far as I'm concerned) and mad respect for Acid Hologram up high.

 

I would put Mascara in the top 10. Maybe even top 5.

 

i mean, he’s definitely a fan and has talked about it a bunch. he just has awful taste and is an annoying, at best, writer lol

 

Will continue to refuse to read shit Ian writes after the uncomfortable personal attacks on Brian Fallon and Scott Hutchison

 

I think you're all taking it too seriously as 'The 30 best Deftones songs'. It's an overview of their discography that shows a love for and engagement with the music. Just for the fact that he picked some tracks from Gore, I like it.

My list would be very different but I respect that it's not a tired, reciting of their biggest songs, as is usually the tendency with these (obviously he's put a lot of them in but you can tell he actually knows and understands their discography).

 

Hutchison* but yeah, fuck him

 

his list isn't even bad tho

many of my favorite Deftones songs are on there so I'm not unhappy with it, even if it does get a little too typical towards the end

 

Pretty sure my own list would get dragged. Moana, for example, would be pretty high up there and most fans don't really care for that song.

 

At least he didn't put back to school on there. Surprising considering how single-heavy the list is.

 

God damn autocorrect

 

My top 23:

1. My Own Summer (Shove It)
2. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
3. Change (In the House of Flies)
4. Minerva
5. Hexagram
6. Hole in the Earth
7. Mein
8. Rocket Skates
9. Diamond Eyes
10. Sextape
11. You've Seen the Butcher
12. Leathers
13. Tempest
14. Swerve City
15. Romantic Dreams
16. Prayers / Triangles
17. Doomed User
18. Hearts / Wires
19. Phantom Bride
20. Ohms
21. Genesis
22. Knife Prty (Purity Ring remix)
23. Passenger (Mike Shinoda remix)

 

I like the inclusion of the remixes! Can't wait to hear them all. I'm really high on HitE at the moment too. Such a great song.
