Deftones Band • Page 4

Hearts/Wires lives up to the hype and then some

 

You guys are killing me! Glad to hear it sounds awesome.

 

that was my favorite on first go through.

 

Pittura Infamante is entirely new ground for them and I love it

 

that outro on rubicon....like what was that going to go into?

 

The intro to that really threw me off the first time I heard. Wasn't expecting it at all haha.

 

I wasn't ready for Gore

 

By the way, anyone who hasn't heard it or is putting off hearing it until it's available with the full sound quality - Hearts/Wires is being premiered on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show tonight.

 

Holy shit this is good.

 

Rubicon OMG

 

I think Rubicon has the chorus I always wanted to hear from this band. It's perfect.

 

Need to give it a full listen. Just downloaded this morning. Saving it for work on Monday

 

I don't think I can hold out anymore...

 

OK, I'm pretty impressed. I had all but conceded the idea of loving this album because the two officially-released tracks were so weak. Thankfully, it turns out they're not very representative at all.

Yesterday I saw several references to a Smashing Pumpkins influence, particularly Mellon Collie era. I feel like that's pretty relevant to a big chunk of the record, after first listen. KNY had a little of that too, but this is darker... think more like "Zero" and "Where Boys Fear to Tread." That's definitely oversimplifying, though... I'm not even sure how I'd characterize the influences for a lot of these tracks, other than to say they feel more like a conscious deviation from Deftones' core sound than anything they've done the past decade.

 

Ughhhhhh you guys stahhhhhp

 

At least Hearts/Wires will hold me over.

 

This has me so pumped.

 

I gotta hear this in higher quality but I loved it. Title track and Phantom Bride are an awesome one two punch

 

These comments are making me happy.

 

Hearing these reactions is making it so hard to not listen right now hahahaha but i am gonna hold out for the high quality versions.

 

The vinyl rip copy was never actually intended to be leaked. The guy who ripped it gave it to a couple of people and asked that it only be distributed among some non-newbie posters on sharinglungs (which is how I got hold of it pretty early this morning) in order to stop a shitty quality album leak flying around the internet for thousands of people to hear. Unfortunately some idiot gave it to a first-time poster and then that poster leaked it, which is why so many people have now heard it.

 

Speaking of leaks; any word on Entertain Me?

 

Apparently the director had no legal right to release it or something like that. I can't remember if there's been anything about it since then.

 

I cannot wait to hear this in pristine quality.
