I've seen other agree with the take on it feeling too polished or sanitized, at the end of the day almost everyone in this thread celebrates all of the records so it's no worries :)
I just like KNY better because it felt like they just stretched what they were doing on DE into longer songs with a little more experimentation. I also feel like the atmosphere shines through slightly more on KNY than DE. KNY also has Rosemary.
Koi is not my fav ‘tones album and probably not even top 3 but Entombed has a strong case for their most beautiful song to me and What Happened to You is probably my fav closer of theirs. They obv do heavy music a class above everyone else but they were really really cooking on the dream pop elements of that album above all else imo
Just please for the love of God do not release the closer as a single again. Deftones make the best closers and it's always a treat for me to hear it on my first full spin of a new album.
Sometimes I think Gauze is one of their finest. The main riff is so simple yet so crushing and that descending lick Stephen plays at the end of each bar always catches me off guard, in a good way. Have to mention the chorus as well, Chino crafted one of his best hooks here.
Same. I remember listening to that song for the first time and getting so hyped. It’s exactly what I wanted from a song by them
They just played Betty in full and then played like another 12 songs set. page is the coolest guy in the world
Can we talk about their openers? Every single one is a banger. From My Own Summer to Hexagram to Swerve to Genesis. Just, wow. These guys know how to make an entrance.
