It flopped.

>>127463566 (OP)
it’s not even out yet

>>127463566 (OP)
Deftones is fucking sell out trash. Listen to a real band like Shiner or Swervediver

>>127463583
What about Hum and Failure?

bump and requesting download link for leak

>>127463566 (OP)
whitesnake has always sucked, op

>>127463566 (OP)
It didnt + it's good actually
Tik tok won

Listened to the leak earlier today and is pretty great, I'm hearing bits and pieces of Filter, Duran Duran and Faith No More in these songs I dunno if that was by design or not. But 30 years after Adrenaline was released Deftones are not only thriving but arguably they're more popular now than in their White Pony heyday. Fav tracks: my mind is a mountain, ecdysis, infinite source, cut hands, milk of the madonna.

>>127463566 (OP)
the normies haven't had their say, and they will say it's great and you will be proven wrong yet again

As long as it's not as one-note as the singles I'll hold out hope.

>>127463873
slsk

>>127463597
i've been listening to Failure a lot lately, since i can actually listen to their newer stuff now (fuck Spotify) and i'm actually surprised at how good some of their post-reunion stuff has been. some absolute bangers on their 2015 album.

Hum is great too.

They're doing a white pony again

>>127463597
Also good but you might as well throw Quicksand and Far in the mix

Does anyone have the leak or the password at least?

>>127469021
that sounds fucking awesome faggot

>>127463566 (OP)
infinite source and milk of the madonna are S tier, the rest is boring

>>127463577
making its unmitigated floppage all the more embarrassing for chino and co

Yeah the two singles are by far the best songs on there

>>127473572
Delusional

The album is really good and is very consistent in quality throughout

>>127463566 (OP)
midlife crisis album

Never thought they could make something worse than Ohms but here we are

Predict fantanos score: it's strong 6

>>127473809
5

>>127473739
Ohms is their best post KnY album.

>>127473841
only good thing about ohms Is radiant citys chorus

>>127473841
Ohms is quite literally their worst record and everybody claiming otherwise must be completely deaf. Even Gore and Adrenaline are better than that dull and lifeless creation

Songwriting and vocals in particular were frighteningly atrocious, I thought they were finally done for after that album. Thankfully, PM is better than the last two.

>>127473885
>Anything
>Better than Gore

loathe will put out a better album

>>127463566 (OP)
Okay

>>127473973
This

>>127463566 (OP)
Ecdysis and Cut Hands rip, album's not as good as Koi No Yokan but it's pretty damn close.

New Thornhill clears I'm afraid.

>>127463566 (OP)
It's actually their best album since WP

First impression, it's fine. Infinite Source and Souvenir are the best songs, Cut Hands and Metal Dream come up in the back half too. I was worried after those singles but they're among the worst on the album, especially Milk of the Madonna. Probably would still put it in bottom half overall but it's better than I was expecting.

>>127473874
>>127473885
The run of songs from The Spell of Mathematics to Radiant City is fine, but otherwise Ohms is definitely low tier and this new one's a step up from that at a bare minimum.

>>127473809
He actually loved the singles but the album deviates pretty hard from them so maybe light to decent 7.

Infinite Source is one of their best songs to date.

>>127477371
This but Diamond Eyes.

which band/artist?

The whole thing is worth it for Infinite Source, Souvenir, I Think About You..., and Departing the Body. Picking up Tool in the guitar part and Trail of Dead in the vocals on Departing the Body.

>>127477753
The Deft Ones

Locked Club and Ecdysis are just Ohms done slightly better. Kinda wish it didn't take until Infinite Source to get to a great song. Thankfully, it's mostly great from that point on.

First impressions after listening to the audio while watching the visualizers (while also stoned and drunk)
>mmiam = this album’s version of genesis (I.e the song chino loves but no one else does)
>infinite source = best song they’ve had in a while
>souvenir = luv it
>I think about you all the time = the Missus’ favourite song on the album. Her favourite album is WP for reference
>milk of the maddona = better of the two singles and one of the best on the album
>departing the body = wife was scared of the visuals until I pointed out the walls Will ooze green slime. Reminded me of those creepy ps3 adverts
Overall, need to listen again with my proper headphones and then compare to the other albums. Pleasantly surprised, will go to bed happy and cummed out (and have to wake up in two hours)
>tldr great album ignore this fag’s blogpost

lmao christcuck album wtf id this shit Creed??
Grandma’s Kisses you faggot

>>127478021
spot on. its a good album. dont really care for the first 3 songs but everything after is straight nectar

great album. overall more solid than Ohms but none of the songs come close to the god tier Ceremony-Urantia-Error run on that album. that album had 10/10 stretches but falls down to 5/10 in the back half. this is probably a 6 across the board. Cut Hands and Locked Club are my favs.

>pseudo rapping parts

Numetalfags...

Slow start and doesn't pick up until Infinite Source, but after that, it's good. It's much better than Ohms, which I thought was pretty boring overall, other than a select few songs.

>>127478804
>hating fun
go back to rym, pseud

>>127463566 (OP)
What do you have against Whitesnake? Are you low t?

>>127479150
au contraire, I'm that numetalfag

my mind is a mountain - 7/10
locked club - 6/10
ecdysis - 6/10
infinite source - 10/10
souvenir - 9/10
cXz - 8/10
i think about you all the time - 8/10
milk of the madonna - 5/10
cut hands - 8/10
metal dream - 8/10
departing the body - 7/10

HOT TAKE:
Deftones is a song band rather than an album band
a playlist or compilation of their best songs is the best way to listen to Deftones rather than listening to any album from them

>>127480059
No good band is worth listening to in this fashion.

>>127480067
nah, plenty of good artists have it this way
pop artists and classic boomer rock bands is the prime example

>>127480059
Trash take

Some of their albums absolutely offer rich listening experience throughout their whole runtime and you'll miss a great deal of deep cuts by "listening to the hits"

>>127480059
around the fur, white pony, koi no yokan are good the whole way through
first half of deftones s/t is a good listen through
the rest you might be right

>>127463566 (OP)
Good songwriting bad production. Everything sounds mushed together and over-compressed.

>>127480106
>pop artists and classic boomer rock

>>127480162
My favorite album as an album is Saturday Night Wrist. They're all worth sitting through.

>>127480059
White pony is amazing from track to track.

>>127480253
>Saturday Night Wrist
not heavy enough for me, I respect it tho

>>127463583
Shiner's songwriting is lacking. Listen to Quicksand

>>127463566 (OP)
HUM and Failure bros, have we been ripped off once again?

soulless drum sound

>>127480371
Why did Hum and Failure never see the same sort of success as other 90s alt rock bands despite being just as good if not better?

>>127480017
>milk of the madonna - 5/10

>>127480728
They lacked the image, and image is 50% of the business

>>127480728
>popularity
imagine dragons is more popular than deftones

>>127480059
Koi No Yokan begs the differ

Why isn't anyone pointing out that this is their most shoegaze album? Chino's vocals are now fully in the mix. He's no longer singing over it and certainly not screaming anymore. They're creating soundscapes now. It's cool, but it'll take a while to digest.
For me, this is them pivoting to rock for good. They're now a rock band with metal passages, not the other way around. The pseudo-rap parts prove there won't be any more screaming.
I'm a fan, but people don't like the idea of Deftones being trend-hoppers. They always have been (except for White Pony). The point is, they've never lost their identity, from Diamond Eyes trying to appeal to the Buttrock/Metalcore crowd, to Gore pivoting to the Hipster Metal crowd, and now it's the TikTok nu-gaze crowd.
For me, this album is the equivalent of Diamond Eyes, reaching a new audience but becoming slightly generic along the way. I think it won't be long before they release another, perhaps a more powerful one.

To be fair, removing the Djent riffs is the boldest thing they could have done with this.

7/10 at the moment

>>127480888
Wasted trips on this fart sniffing, idiotic post. What a retard.

>>127481008
>people don't like the idea of Deftones being trend-hoppers

>>127480732
yeah the guys in hum looked like the IT department

every fucking album they put out sounds like Diamond Eyes. literally all of them since then the same spacey dreamy whatever the fuck boring meandering nonsense. Around the Fur and the self-titled were the good ones.

it all sounds like 'deftones music'

>>127478021
Chino has good taste then, cause Genesis is one of their best songs.

>>127480730
What's impressive about it? It's like a bad mix of Mein and Swerve City and with little of interest to show for it aside from what, a KNY-ism of a break towards the end that doesn't even add anything to it? I guess the lyrics are above average for a Deftones song but I don't see much in the song proper to like.

>>127482780
>What's impressive about it?
It slaps like hell. Fuck off with your pseud ramblings.

>>127465186
>same score as ohms
>lower score than gore
I see pitchfork is still run by people who were dropped on their heads as infants

>>127478235
>Ceremony-Urantia-Error
based, i knew i wasnt the only one. private music is better than their last two albums but those three ohms tracks are the best of the decade for them

>>127480059
>he doesn't listen to Diamond Eyes from start to finish
Might as well say ur gay

>>127481104
>every fucking album they put out sounds like Diamond Eyes
How i WISH this was true

>>127476308
Unoriginal, boring, derivative, and leaning too hard into pop; I hate this band, and with this being my first impression, I don't think I'll listen to enough of them to dispute that. The singer is just shamelessly copying Chino Moreno's vocal habits all over this, and the riffs are so boring and typical that it's boggling to see how this even gets any praise. It feels like trendhopping of the highest degree in the same way Bleed, Fleshwater, and Static Dress do. Repulsive.

>>127473809
Fagtano said Genesis is about political centrism. Fuck that bald retard. He can’t analyze lyrics if he had a gun pointed at his head.

>>127484687
Agreed. It's all shitty, especially the vocals. Fleshwater might be even worse.

>>127483692
Saying the song is a bad mix of two better songs with a useless break towards the end isn't "pseud ramblings". It's a pretty straightforward criticism.

>>127485122
Get new ears fag

>>127485132
I'm good. Rest of the album's fine, it's just that bland one that can fuck off. Didn't like it as a single, still don't care for it now.

>>127484687
>>127485112
on planet retard maybe

>>127478235
>>127484115
Ceremony and Urantia are passable but Error is just annoying. I agree with
>>127473885
in that Chino really feels like he's phoning it in on like half the album.

>>127485292
That's your rebuttal? lmao pathetic, but then what else do you expect from neo-buttrock fans.

>>127484687
all correct and yet thorns is still better than private music. sorry my man, it's just fun and that's all i need from anything that is or imitates nu metal

>>127486411
Listening to audible piles of shit isn't fun. You're just fecal in nature.

Is Chino embracing his mexican roots with all the catholic imagery in this albums lyrics?

>>127485263
It'll grow on you, mark my words.
>no it won-
IM ON FIIIIIIIIIIIRE

>>127480253
You must be kidding, it's good, but front to back it has skips, even they admit it had no direction.
KNY is the best front to back album, or possibly PM but need to give it a few more listens.

>>127487385
It's the (likely accidental) theming that does it for me. Whether Chino realizes it or not, SNW is a very consistently anxious and uncertain album. The instability of the band comes through the music in a way that makes it the band's...I guess "darkest" album? I liken it to Pornography by The Cure, shit was falling apart and it feels evident throughout the entire album. Even a cut like Konami Code feels lonely and nocturnal, or Pink Cellphone's deadpan delivery suggests some kind of weary, existential struggle with higher powers, never mind how self-evident it is on songs like Hole In The Earth or Cherry Waves. The band probably weren't pulling themselves together to pursue those ideas but it ends up happening that way regardless, and I find that aspect of it attractive.

I don't generally skip songs on albums so for me, whether something is a "skip" or not is a nonfactor. I'm more likely to avoid an album entirely than skip songs. Case in point, I don't get much out of Around the Fur aside from 3 or 4 very good songs, so I almost never put that one on at all and when I do, I still don't skip anything.

>>127480017
>infinite source - 10/10
It's unreal how good that song is. 10/10 indeed

>>127463566 (OP)
Aggressively mid. Their last interesting record was Koi No Yokan.

>>127481104
Diamond Eyes actually has memorable riffs.

>>127487975
Diamond Eyes has memorable grooves. I love that album but people do have a point in citing that one as the turning point when Stephen shifted too hard into djent chugs, but at least touches of their Adrenaline era post-hardcore angularity show up here and there. Songs like Royal, CMND/CTRL and Rocket Skates get at that more than you'd probably think about.

Since when have people actually listened to this garbage band? Why are they so popular nowadays? Anime music video ass music.

Chino Moreno sucks live and cannot sing. They are purely an album band.

>>127489555
And that's okay.

>>127463597
Deftones should be just right my alley, but for some reason they never click

>>127489615
yes, it's okay and the only way I can listen to them and will never waste money again on their live show

>>127489619
What are you hoping to get out of them? They're a band that fucks around and finds out by crashing extremes together.

It's nostalgiafags

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

>>127489555
Chino Moreno actually can sing live and pretty good at that, but he is very hit or miss.

He's had many disastrous performances and yet he's also had many where he's nailed studio quality

>>127491059
It's more they take very delicate sounds and very heavy sounds and make them kiss like a little girl playing with Barbie and Ken dolls.

>>127492555
WHAT

>>127492293
This is accurate. I've seen them three times. Twice he was unbelievably good. The other time he was off but still gave tons of energy.

>>127491223
Babyshit

I like it, and that's all that matters

>>127488340
Apparently its some sort of tiktok revival. I dont mind desu, ive seen them 5 times and given their resurgence in popularity they will probably tour my country again in the future

>>127489666
I like their influences but their riffs,atmosphere and yada yada never do it for me. It's not even about not liking chino's moan-singing thay much

nu-metal has always been shit, sorry

>>127493695
Good thing you can count the number of nu-metal songs they've written since White Pony on a single hand then.
