Just filed my review of this, think it's out Tuesday? FWIW my three favourites on this thing rn are Error, Pompeji and This Link is Dead.
Is Pompeji another way Pompeii is spelled in a specific dialect? Am I gonna like it as much as Glassjaw’s Pompeii?
Unsure; and, probably - I echo @Drew Beringer's sentiments about the song earlier ITT, feels like quintessential Deftones for a number of reasons.
Carrow just sent me his review. Dearly hope he won't mind me posting it: "Kinda cool. Quite like the guitars. Why don't they rap anymore though? 5/10" Bit worrying.
“Ohh we drink from the fountain of intent, and ohh we choke on the water then repent.” An awesome lyric. I cannot wait for Friday!!
"Genesis" is so good, wow. Also Terry Date made this sound awesome, but has anyone mentioned that Abe's drums are a little further back in the mix than normal? The snare usually pops a bit more
Exactly why mine's not being published today, lmao - the embargo lifted this morning but I'm in no rush!
fuck I missed Luke writing about music. I love his politics stuff, but there's just so few people doing great music reviews
My take is up - they decided to drop it ASAP now the embargo's been lifted I guess? - so here you go, 700 words on Ohms: ALBUM REVIEW: Deftones - Ohms | XS Noize | Online Music Magazine
Especially can't wait to hear Pompeji and The Spell Of Mathematics in proper quality. The verses on Pompeji have maybe the most Morrissey-like vocal lines Chino's ever done.
This is their first release since I’ve considered myself a fan, so I am stoked. The reviews are only amping the anticipation even more.
WP Koi Diamond Ohms S/T Gore SNW ATF Adrenaline SNW used to be in last place but I've super come around on it this year.
