Deftones Band • Page 48

It's odd, because I always thought production (along with their song titles ) was something they could never really let me down on, but Gore definitely sounds sort of flat to me

 

I still love Gore, but I often wonder how much better it would be with the proper production.

 

Gore produced to the audio standard of ATF would be something to behold.

 

I usually go back and forth between Around the Fur, White Pony, and Diamond Eyes for my favorite album of theirs, but KNY definitely has some of their best material imo. Swerve, Leathers, Poltergeist, Entombed, Tempest, Rosemary, What Happened to You?...I mean, damn!

 

I know I'll get ostracized, but I can't get into Around The Fur anymore. It was my jam in high school and college, but I can't get into it anymore.

 

It's my second least favorite Deftones album honestly. It's not bad, but everything they released after is better

 

There's one Deftones album better than Around The Fur. I'll accept two. Anything more... no.

 

Acid Hologram.

 

Oh nvm I read this as NOT having good song titles.

 

Around the Fur is my favorite Deftones album.

 

Gore is such a good song

 

ATF still has the best production among their catalog, regardless of the content. Which is pretty sad when you think about it. WP was really good too, but everything since has been flawed to varying degrees.

 

Should be a staple of Deftones Best Of playlists from now on, for sure. I still get blown away by the ending. Chino is unreal on that track.

 

Saturday Night Wrist's production is fine. I can't imagine Beware sounding better.

 

Why/how does shitty production happen? Don't bands get to listen to the final product and have input before it's released?

 

they started working with people not named Terry Date

 

I always wondered this too. Like surely Letlive. listened to The Blackest Beautiful months before it was out, but somehow didn't care how bad the mix was????

 

I wonder this all the time, as someone who's fairly sensitive to production and has had amazingly-written albums from artists I love ruined for me by it.

Honestly, I get the feeling a lot of artists just don't care or don't have an ear for it at all. They tend to be right-brained creative people for whom the technicalities are a nuisance. It's funny to think about, but I bet plenty of them are just like average consumers and listen to 128kbps MP3s on iPod earbuds, even their own stuff!

Now, obviously that's a big generalization and there are plenty of exceptions, but I've definitely gotten that impression from interviews of some artists I follow.

 

Deftones posted a video of Rise Against's Appeal to Reason record playing, and Rise Against posted a video of a White Pony record playing. Dropping hints?

 

That would be such an amazing tour :-D

 

Tim could sing Passenger with them again.

 

Those guest vocals he did at that Rock In Rio set were sick

 

Aye, shame the mix is horrendous. Nice little mini scream-off between him and Chino at the end of the second chorus.

 

Yeah Tim was so drowned out at first, but he rebounded by the end ofnthebfirst part and definitely the second. Chino totally showed him up though at the end there haha

 

Definitely a tour. But strange they chose those albums instead of the newest ones.
