Deftones - TBA (2025) • forum.chorus.fm

 

That's why I love it. SNW was my first Deftones record and that was a standout song to me as a 20 year old. Seeing them open the set at my first Deftones show with that track was absolutely a highlight. This was 2007 I think. Maybe 06. That was an Unhinged, feral, pit. Core memory.

Xerces is also a standout simply because me, the gf (now wife), and a friend went to a strip club in Minneapolis in 2010 and a dancer randomly did her routine to Xerxes. I mean, it worked.

 

Kimdracula is not only an underrated track on SNW but their entire discography. Can't help but stupidly smile at that absolutely nasty, opening riff

 

it’s a very minor thing but my favorite part of Rats!Rats!Rats! is the little pinch harmonic that happens at the end of the intro right before the vocals come in.

 

Rats and Rapture both seem like their most genuine attempts at janky angular post hardcore and I love them both for that reason

 

Y'all about to have me throw on SNW randomly at work on a Tuesday.

 

Rivière might be my favorite album closer from them. It's hard to choose though honestly.

 

Saturday Night Wrist was never my favorite but I do love Kimdracula. I should give the whole thing a spin soon, been listening to a lot of Self-Titled this week.

 

Yeah it’s been a long time since I’ve listened to that album front-to-back but SNW has some of my favorites on theirs. Cherry Waves is easily a top 10 track for me

 

It's honestly my second favorite track at this point--after Digital Bath

 

starting with Gore

maybe Diamond Eyes a little later

 

Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan are still my two favorites, I think Self-Titled is third

 

Beware my favourite Deftones song honestly

 

I was somewhat surprised they didn't play Cherry Waves on this tour, considering how much that song blew up on TikTok. I wouldn't expect them to "chase a trend" per se, but I thought they might've played it anyways.

 

They should just play it because it's a fucking awesome song.

 

they did play it in Chicago

I did not go bc my band had a show come up the same day but still

 

Went back to Gore recently. It’s such an interesting album for them, mixing aside. Doomed User and the title track have an almost raw, punk influence. Pittura and Xenon are super weird for the band. Prayers, Acid, LMIRL, and Phantom are classic Deftones. Rubicon started the band’s streak of sort of upbeat and “happy” sounding closers.

 

Gore might lean a little too far into Smashing Pumpkins worship at times but it's a good album.

 

The most recent two are still my least favorites. There’s more highs on Ohms (radiant city!) but I still find a lot of it hard to get into.

 

Agreed. Might be a controversial opinion, but I think the band’s sound peaked on KNY (and trust me, I adore White Pony), which is why I’m particularly excited they’re working with Nick R. again.

 

The Spell of Mathematics is the standout for me on Ohms, followed by Headless.

 

fuck it, gonna throw Ohms on the turntable right now

 

goddamn I love Rubicon
