It flopped.

>>127532394 (OP)
Infinite Source is one of their best songs.

It's pretty good.

Your life must suck dick to be recycling threads that got a total of 20 replies last time

>>127534069
Incomprehensible list

>>127534339
Not really. Spacey, dreamy Deftones good. Alt metal Deftones meh. It more or less pans out. KNY is basically a sobered up SNW and Ohms is like watching post-Gore Deftones halfway try to LARP as their AtF selves. Weirdest part is maybe putting Adrenaline over White Pony and honestly, album's just fun. Naive, but fun.

Can’t you jungle niggers make up any other thread names? This is literally the 6th “it flopped” thread in the last three days.

>>127534971
It's obviously the same guy making these threads.

>>127532394 (OP)

How can people listen to deftones? Their music is so monotone.

It’s probably AOTY

>>127537736
Care to elaborate on that? Far as I'm concerned, they've never made the same album twice.

>>127538684
Yeah, but they've never made a good album once

>>127532394 (OP)
I gave it a 0.5 on RYM

>>127539117
That's an opinion to hold, but it's got nothing to do with the question being asked.

>>127537736
they like the One Song
no i don't get it either

>>127539748
Which one? Be Quiet and Drive? My Own Summer? Digital Bath? Elite? Change? Minerva? Cherry Waves? Sextape? Entombed? Rosemary? Which "one" are we talking about here?

>>127539956
Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event. Unsurprising, since it's their best song.

>>127539135
You are on rym? Are you a gay homosexual?

I never understood the appeal of the Deftones. It sounds like they write regular songs, then the songs all develop some kind of disease before they're released. They sound sickly.

>>127540030
I don't think they write regular songs. Their setup is fundamentally weird - you have a new-wave obsessed frontman shrieking over a rhythm guitarist on lead with a turntablist on keyboards, a drummer playing to metal riffs like he's never heard of double bass pedals, and a bassist that does whatever the fuck they feel like doing. Not really anything normal going on here.

>>127540006
Seething. I will rate it 0.5 in my other 8 accounts too.

>>127539956
I liked be quiet and drive away and that one song on engine no.9

>>127532394 (OP)
this Is Just a crosses b side lmao

I don't get Deftones at all

i find it interesting that my mexican immigrant father loved deftones. rip poppa

>>127532394 (OP)
Annie Hardy feature?

>>127542321
It's "heavy" music for girls

>>127543865
Girls that listen to Deftones are girls I wanna put my own summer in and around the fur if you know what I mean

>>127543912
No I dont know what you mean because I dont listen to music for girls

>>127534069
This has to be ragebait

>>127543999
It isn't.

>>127543987
Tell us without telling us

>>127544037
So shit taste then. Never would have guessed.

>>127534069
Fixed.

>>127544510
Yeah now that's IT

>>127534069 was samefaggin low contrarian bait

>>127544510
Yours is certainly more conventionally agreeable than mine. Self-titled in S is a power play, I respect it.

It's gay now?

>>127534069
>>127544510
I don't get the Ohms hate

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

>>127546273
I don't get the Ohms love, at least in a critical darling sense. I felt it was kind of a cowardly retreat into safe territory, though to be fair I did love much of what made Gore different. Ohms felt like it was trying to throw a lot of that away. I actually listened to it again yesterday and the only songs I love are The Spell of Mathematics and This Link Is Dead. The rest just kind of exists.

>>127546273
It's so formulaic and forgettable. Gore, for all its flaws, has a few unique, badass moments.

>>127546293
milk of the madonna is the rock Song of the year

>>127549879
Eh, there are songs on the album that I simply like more. As far as throwback sounds go I prefer ecdysis, as far as anxious undertones go I prefer cXz, and as far as aggressive swagger goes I prefer cut hands. milk of the madonna's got good qualities but it's not really standing out to me in any one category.

It’s so funny how this board has turned on deftones in the past few years due to their resurgence in popularity. I distinctly remember how highly this band was regarded when KNY dropped .

>>127550255
I didn't jump on board until after Ohms came out but I do remember there being threads about KNY and a general sense of disappointment surrounding Gore. That shit was pretty hard to miss on the catalog, and when I got to listening on my own I still remembered the album artwork from back then, like "oh, it's THIS band".

Kny Is so mid, some great songs like poltergeist and leathers but the rest puts me to sleep. Good choruses like goon squad are totally wasted

>>127550341
I think the tight transitions impact its listenability greatly, it's such a smooth listen if you aren't cherry picking at it. Private Music mostly does the same and benefits similarly.

Ah,
I hoped there'd be a thread for this.

How many albums have Deftones been making the same boring product now do you think? For me, it's Gore.

Crosses has made Deftones completely irrelevant. Also Stephen Carpenter might have brain worms or something.

>>127551929
None of them sound the same.

>>127551937
Crosses is entirely different altogether but you're probably right about Stephen.

>>127552166
>Self-titled below Ohms
For what reason?

>>127552358
It's their most boring one.

>>127552397
You need to leave.

>>127552058
Diamond Eyes had some melodies. Then the majority of the meat was somewhat homogeneous. KNY - several great melodies, maybe even a pop tune here and there. Gore, Ohms and this? How is it not the same passion, power level, vocal style, even the countermelodies in the lack-of-melodies have the same vocabulary.

Mind you I'm not saying they're bad, I'm saying it's been the same vibe for the past 10 years.

>>127552484
I don't get associating Deftones with melodies. I feel like they've barely tried with those after Adrenaline, and hardly at all from self-titled onwards. I see them as more of a texture/groove oriented band, and those aspects of the band have definitely been pushed over time. If the lack of nuanced melodies bothered me, I would hardly listen to them at all. Even Around the Fur barely has any of note outside of the singles.

>>127552568
>I don't get associating Deftones with melodies. I feel like they've barely tried with those after Adrenaline, and hardly at all from self-titled onwards.
what are you even talking about? SNW through KNY are their most melodic albums by far.

>>127552640
You know, they do try a little harder with melodies in that era, sure. Had to think about it but Beware, Cherry Waves, Sextape, 976-EVIL, Entombed, Rosemary. Fair enough. But even those albums still have stuff like Rapture, Mein, Rocket Skates, CMND/CTRL, Swerve City and Goon Squad that stick closer to their typical focus on grooves. But yeah, thinking about it a bit there is more melody in those, especially Saturday Night Wrist. Still, when I put on Adrenaline it's a parade of post-hardcore riffs and in a good way.
