Deftones Band • Page 144

Poltergeist is much more full sounding production wise. But the riffs in Doomed User rip cheeks

 

I like Gore just fine, but Hearts/Wires struck me as a weaker retread of half the tracks on S/T before my first listen was done, and that's never changed

 

Some real Gore takes in here this morning...

 

Gore is fucking fantastic.

 

It’s a great album just with a bad mix. The last three songs are perfect

 

are they even takes lol? it's basically just everyone saying the same thing. sounds like a consensus.

 

consensus can be wrong!

lots of people in here love saturday night wrist, for example

 

I forgot how hard the final 3 tracks on Gore go.

 

If there's anything there really isn't with Gore, it's a consensus.

 

really the only consensus about Deftones is White Pony is their best record and even that gets debated a good amount haha

 

i mean we basically had a dozen people in this thread over the last two days say the same thing haha. that is a consensus. I'm not saying literally every human being who has ever listened to the album lol

 

wow showing your bare ass for free online on a Wednesday. wild by you.

 

hey, they mocked jesus, too. I have no shame

 

Gore may be in the latter half of their discography, but only because Diamond Eyes, White Pony, S/T, and Koi No Yokan exist.

 

If I didn't have any nostalgia attached to White Pony, I think KNY would be my favorite. That take wouldn't surprise me at all from someone who discovered the band in the last 5 years.

 

if SNW is not at least a top 3 Deftones album for you I don’t trust you

 

I don't think you trust the vast majority of people in this thread, including me, haha

 

Here's a take: consensus around the best Deftones LP is impossible bc they perennially put out really good, 8/10 type records, but always fall short of a masterpiece. Anything from ATF on is a valid pick for their best depending on your stylistic preferences.

 

I mean White Pony is a masterpiece tho

 

I did not come in this thread periodically just to talk about how Gore is my favorite of theirs for y'all to act like there's a consensus about it being "lower tier" Deftones. Our only real consensus is that Adrenaline is not their best lol

 

so is Diamond Eyes

 

FTFY

 

s/t is their definitive work, yes I intend to die on this hill
