Deftones Band • Page 9

Phantom Bride is growing on me a lot

 

White Pony
Diamond Eyes
Gore

My holy trinity

 

Diamond Eyes
Gore
Koi No Yokan
White Pony
Around the Fur
Saturday Night Wrist
Adrenaline
S/T

I got into Deftones late; right as Diamond Eyes was coming out in 2010. So I've always felt more of a connection to their newer material, but I love everything they've put out. And if Smile was any indication Eros would have/will be a monster as well.

Koi No Yokan
Around The Fur

 

i'm one of these lunatics! i just sort of think they keep improving as a band, and koi no yokan felt huge and oceanic in all the ways that diamond eyes felt extremely precise. (i think the records are pretty different, despite sharing a similar sound.) anyway i like gore more than both at this point, which is wild

(i've been a fan since white pony, and i thought diamond eyes was a real step back when it came out, lol, anyway this band is extremely good and all of their records reveal new things about themselves over time)

 

Man. I really want to like this, but it's just not clicking with me. It feels like there's just something missing. Maybe it needs to grow on me.

 

I should have my reviews posted by tomorrow

 

This album has grown on me a lot already. It feels like a complete "thought" from beginning to end.

 

yes

 

it's also their "least heaviest" album and I like that change of pace at this point of their careers

 

Maybe that's why Stephen didn't/doesn't like it.

 

I'd like to see chino scream less and less and just use his voice to create those lush melodies that he's so good at. It would still work great against Steph's heavy riffs. This album shows that, along with songs like Lovers and Moana.

 

Maybe I need to listen to it more, but I don't really know if I'd consider this their "least heavy" record. I just think the heaviness is more calculated and it makes even more of an impact to me because of that.

 

On first listen I feel the same way.

 

Most of this has grown on me, but I'm still not as big on the first half of the record.

Wonder if this will get a P4k review with all the coverage they've been posting.

 

Kind of amazing they've been a band for 28 years and can still put out such a good record.

 

Haven't listened to anything released from this yet, excited to listen tonight

 

About ready to dive in. Couldn't be more excited.

 

28 years

goddamn

 

That's what places them as one of the elite in the history of rock and metal - eight albums in, zero duff ones and still making some of the very best rock music around. What a band.

 

I resisted the leak so I've only heard the 3 songs they released. Excited to listen to Gore tomorrow!

 

Xenon and Pittura Infamante were my least favourite songs the first time I listened but I'm really fond of them both now.

 

"Xenon" is my current favorite
