Since 2000 right after WP Of all the records since then, DE was the only one I immediately thought was amazing at release, but in hindsight I put most of them on a near level playing field. Broken record, but Gore is only toward the lower end of the rankings because of production
I guess I became a fan around S/T era, but White Pony was the first album of theirs I heard. Honestly the longer I listen to this band, the harder it becomes to rank their work. Adrenaline is the only album of theirs I think is less than great.
mmm I think that spending a lot of time with things changes yr perspective not saying one view is more or less valid, but time does reveal and I do love things (records) that take their sweet time revealing themselves
Yeah I saw it on their Facebook after I commented. I think it’s just on Chorus on my phone I can’t see it for some reason.
I think a lot of Deftones fans would appreciate the new album from VOLA, a progressive metal/rock band from Denmark. Their music blends at times crushingly heavy riffs with soaring synth-pop melodies and incredible atmospheric vocals.
The whole album is super diverse... the other single “Smartfriend” is way heavier than this one for instance. Definitely worth a listen!
Koi No Yokan is now my favorite Deftones album I think. Thought it was Diamond Eyes for a long time because I always went back to that album the most out of their “newer” albums... but I think I never spent quite enough time with KNY because of that. They were really on a roll with both of those albums.
