The urgency in cXz is incredible. "What is up?! What is down?!" damn Chino, I dunno stop yelling at me pls D:
also, might have my favorite flow/sequencing of any of their records, but it also doesn’t feel super labored over in that regard. actually feels quite effortless, more like a live set.
Decided to start a discog run today. I honestly don't remember how long it's been since I've listened to Adrenaline, and it's a wild album.
Yea Around the Fur is tough to beat as my favorite album of theirs, it's really something special. I mean pretty much every album from them is, but AtF is just...I dunno, there's something that just tickles me extra with it
anyone still waiting for their copy to ship? i reached out to customer service and was assured on Thursday that mine was still processing, but it's been several days later and still no movement. i figured it'd at least ship on Friday or today (since i'm sure they don't dispatch new shipments over the weekend), but nothing yet
Better and better every listen. Cant believe how good Chino still sounds for 52. Songs have been stuck in my head all day.
Gave this a few more listens and I’m loving it more and more with each listen. Now that’s it’s sunk in, a few useless thoughts: -Crazy to think that 30 years after their first album, they’re still experimenting and pulling out new things. Chinos vocals were pretty refreshing this album and it was interesting hearing him change up his style (Locked Club and the last three tracks all come to mind) -Infinite Source is still my fave and I’m happy that the general consensus here is that the song rocks. I genuinely think it’s a top 5 Deftones song for me. I’m not even joking. it really reminds me of Ohms (the song), but more organic-feeling -I was hoping that Fred would really shine on the album and I’m kinda bummed it wasn’t really the case. I hope they give me some more room/spotlight next album -Metal Dreams is another great standout to me. The way the chorus just bursts in hits like a bag of bricks. Weirdly kinda reminds me of Tempest too? -I’m usually not picky when it comes to this kind of stuff, but the mixing/production on this album was a lot better than Ohms. As great as I think Ohms is, the guitars sound weird as hell on that one. Stef’s tone on this one sounded way less muddier and more natural But yeah. This is a great add to their discography. Deftones is one of those bands (to me) that consistently churns out great albums, so I wouldn’t necessarily call it “their best work in years,” but damn this is a great album. I’ll be jamming this one for a while
Yeah he didn't just guest on those songs, he helped Norma Jean wrote them iirc. Imagine being able to say Chino Moreno co-wrote and recorded a couple songs, just normal band stuff.
Or the Incubus one from 2017 with Skrillex at the helm (!?), not sure what happened to that one either https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vgax11NZUlU
Had to do a thread search for Inlet because I knew I couldn’t be the only one who felt this way. A lot of the way this sounds, the drums in particular, are super reminiscent of that record
I would love for them to do something crazy with album. Like a remix of the album the way The Cure did with their recent album. Like, I’d love to hear Billy Corgan sing on Milk of the Madonna. That song reminds of Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness.
The power you feel from the con-tact So in looooove with the caaaaalm...and the chaos (chaos) Closer to God Closer to space LOCKED in Might be my favourite moment on the album.
