Deftones - Ohms (September 25, 2020) Album • Page 7

The album art talk has got me looking back and ATF is just really bad lol

 

Probably because it came out at the right time for me, but I love the Self-Titled artwork. White Pony will always be the most iconic, but S/T is pretty great.

 

Easily the worst artwork. I heard Chino hates it too.

 

it’s a lot

 

The foot. Just look at the foot.

 

The contrast of the colors is so striking for that one. the red and blue mixing with the black and white is really cool.

 

Hmmm I always thought the self-titled artwork was kinda corny. Good colors, but a skull with roses always made me think of like, Tapout shit haha. I don't think Around the Fur is awful though, so to each their own!

 

ATF art captures a particular stage in the band's life and a 12 year old me thought it was rad when I first saw the album. I still like it haha. I love all of their artwork honestly.

 

Ah yeah, I could see that if it came out now. I wasn't that cynical in 2003 yet, haha. I think it's the perfect explanation of Deftones. Really pretty and brutal at the same time.

 

S/T artwork made a huge impression on me when I first got the CD. Coupled with song titles like Battle Axe and Bloody Cape it really help set the mood. Plus it nails the dichotomy of Harsh+Beautiful that Deftones has always embraced. I miss that script font too.

 

I can't think of another band that could still hype me up on their ninth album. Pretty spectacular.

 

I have a couple. Afterburner is DGD's 9th full length. TUC was Coheed's 9th. The next ETID will be their 9th.

 

ETID is close for me, but I sort of fell away on the run from NJA->FPU. Loved Low Teens though.

 

for me Björk, Kayo Dot, jesu, Destroyer, Appleseed Cast, Katatonia, Sufjan... Kate Bush if she decides to do another album...

 

THE CURE

 

TIL that Dance Gavin Dance has nine friggin albums???

 

Bright Eyes if you don't count the Christmas album - I know I'm stoked as fuck on Down in the Weeds

 

Also, this song is cool. Not my favorite song by them but I’m sure it will grow on me.

It get it did get me listening to KNY, and it made me think about how this band always gets the nastiest sounding drums

 

I fucking loved the s/t album artwork when it came out. I was in high school and the skulls and roses fit perfectly.

 

and theyre all 10/10

 

I have the a s/t and an ATF tee. I get that ATF is probably technically not a great cover but it’s ugliness works in its favor imo. another beautiful/ugly dynamic to me, the subject of the photo appears to be a v conventionally attractive woman but the angle obscures that and the picture looks all fucked up and eerie.

 

Putting that into spoilers just in case, but Qobuz has the track lengths for the album

1 Genesis 00:05:17
2 Ceremony 00:03:27
3 Urantia 00:04:30
4 Error 00:04:50
5 The Spell of Mathematics 00:05:27
6 Pompeji 00:05:25
7 This Link Is Dead 00:04:37
8 Radiant City 00:03:35
9 Headless 00:04:59
10 Ohms 00:04:10

00:46:17

 

the around the fur art is also extremely late-'90s, like the fiona apple "criminal" video aesthetic crawled onto the album cover. i like this about it though, it fits the record, this creepy and strangely warped perspective on something that would otherwise be considered mainstream (which, by '97, nu-metal was)

 

imo band has great album art across the board except for adrenaline

 

yeah woof @ that one

also, personally not a huge fan of Diamond Eyes tbh but I know that will not be a popular opinion
