Pitchfork gave it a good review but still only a 7.6. Same as Ohms. Deftones: private music 5/5 in Kerrang. I think that's their first top marks in there since Koi Album review: Deftones – Private Music | Kerrang!
Never thought I would read the sentence "downtuned daddies of sonic sexiness" in a music review, that's for sure!
You should see their feature interview in the new Metal Hammer. It's titled ‘The Daddies of Baddiecore’
He gets mentioned for coming up with it and is interviewed about it after the article. It's terrible. Article starts with the interviewer seeing if Chino had heard of baddiecore, which he hadn't. Then she tells him. Article ends with this sign-off: ‘Deftones transcend generations. They are baddiecore. And they are only getting bigger.’ Followed by an interview with Craig Reynolds about coming up with the word.
my partner got me a Rat Wars shirt for Christmas last year, and we stopped in a card shop to look at Pokemon cards when some guy spots my shirt and says in front of everyone in the store "dude, do you like cum metal?". i'm like "really? in public?"
the lyrics to infinite source read like a love song to Chino's wife, possibly about their wedding. If so, what a beautiful tribute.
I liked HEALTH until I just learned that. If a stranger asked me that question in public I'd have to flip it back somehow and humiliate them. That's insane.
i said "man, i don't fucking know, i just like the music". oddly enough that wasn't the worst thing that happened to me that day (fell backwards off a 2 foot curb and fucked up my left hand and arm, nearly bled all over the store)
