Deftones Band • Page 68

Yessssssssss

 

Sounds like Chino is responding to the negative feedback they got from Gore and thinking about a more riff-centric album.

what an absolutely selfless thing to say at the end

can't wait

 

That's too bad. I think the negative feedback had a lot more to do with piss poor production than writing. "Doomed User" was apparently Stephen's biggest contribution, and I find it the weakest point on the record.

 

How long before we have another album - two years?

 

The production probably didn't help, but I think a lot of fans didn't like how mellow it was.

 

I'd put Gore towards the lower half of their albums but I still enjoy it

Also happy almost 20 year anniversary to my favorite Deftones album Around the Fur, now with a new piece

I think the Diamond Eyes/Koi No Yokan era of the band is my favorite, largely because of how refreshing and positive everything was after the drama and infighting surrounding the previous two records and of course everything with Chi. It was just a really great time to be a Deftones fan. Not that there's anything bad going on now or anything. I'm really looking forward to the next album, especially if Stephen is going to be more involved in the writing process.

 

The DE era was such a positive time for the band. I remember vividly the first week listening to DE. On the cusp of summer ‘10. I remember that bass at the beginning of Prince, the banshee scream at the end of Royal, the callbacks to ATF/WP. I thought it was such a great reform. Even though I love S/T, and SNW they were certainly bleak albums. Especially with all the turmoil surrounding them. It was great to see them bond in friendship in spite of Chi’s accident.

 

Can’t wait to read this.

 

Fall weather calls for KNY for me. What an incredible record. Might be my favorite production they've had post-White Pony as well.

 

You didn't like it before? Is it too late to report you for this?!

 

its not so much that I didnt "like" it its just that I didnt think it was as good as what followed. I realize now that I was wrong, ATF is at least better than SNW and Gore for me at least.

Either way its all great

 

Diamond Eyes fits this cold weather nicely

 

That's funny bc for me Diamond Eyes is best on a warm summer day

 

Diamond Eyes is best on any day of the year!

 

I have vivid memories of spending my Christmas money on White Pony one year and listening to Digital Bath in the snow on my paper round. It was wonderful.

 

Equating albums to different times of the year is probably my favorite thing. Fall is my favorite by far. I vividly remember going on a retreat in college to a cabin in the woods of Georgia right after this came out, so it will always be associated with this time of the year.

 

Happy 20th birthday to one of the best heavy rock albums of all time.

 

Lhabia low key one of their heaviest, and best songs

 

I'll never not love this album. You can really hear the passion and energy of a young band getting the chance to prove themselves. And they were forward thinking enough to make an album that doesn't sound dated (sure, it sounds 90s to a degree, but it doesn't sound nu-metal). You get those glimpses of the experimentation that would come with White Pony as well.

 

This feeling gets old and so do your eyes

 

I think Rosemary might be my favorite Deftones song.

 

Minerva

 

"Change" always has been and likely always will be my favorite Deftones song. These guys release incredibly consistent music but nothing hits me quite as hard as that song does.
