Kanellos Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Definitly recommending Saturday night wrist and the self titled albums. My favorites by far. Palms is very good as mentioned above. Also would recommend team sleep. Also highly recommend Crosses. Chino does no wrong. Everyone on the sharinglungs board (deftones fan forum) think that the album won't be released until late October til possibly December I dont see why this would be the case. The entire album is recorded with the exception of vocals. Supposedly they've been mixing too as they go. Obviously he wouldnt just make up a date. Im sure the date is realistic of finishing and something they've discussed with WB. Three11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Maybe I need to listen to their other albums more, but KNY is by far my favorite. It may have something to do with the fact it was the first album I listened to of theirs in full, but there are just some killer tracks on it. Entombed and What Happened to You are just too good.

Three11 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Adrenaline and ATF will always be my favorites, but definitely love them all. And to the Crosses recommendation, it's a Deftones & Dredg mix of course it's awesome. B-dosia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it as a "we're shooting for this date" sort of thing. Big labels are weird and shuffle dates around for goofy reasons, much like the film industry. I do hope it's the September date by all means, but I'm not getting my hopes up until I see an official announcement and hopefully a preorder.

vinyl addict Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I know almost nothing about the band but I bought White Pony on a whim and fucking love it. Then I bought Diamond Eyes which I thought was the universally loved one, but it seemed kind of nu-metal for my taste. Still enjoyed it, but is White Pony the furthest they went in that style/direction? It's like, shoegazey metal. Bad description, but it's just really great music. If you like the raw side of it, adrenaline is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 But he also said it was a little too nü for him, and Adrenaline is 10x's nüwer than Pony. In my opinion, anyway. I also wholeheartedly agree with everyone who's suggested their latest, Koi No Yokan, along with all of Chino's side projects. Crosses, Palms, and Team Sleep – they all fall into a nice shoegazey rock sound that I think you'd really dig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just don't hear the 'nu" in it. IMO, its just hard and raw. Korn is Nu Metal, and I don't see any of that in Adrenaline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travis Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Adrenaline and Around the Fur are definitley numetal, especially Adrenaline but they're both done so well I think they separated themselves from the other numetal bands around at that time.

Bingo. Not to argue with anyone in this thread, but I've never met a single Deftones fan who didn't insist that their first 2 albums incorporate nü-metal vibes. (Adrenaline much more, in my opinion.) But it's nowhere near as cheesy as something like Korn or Disturbed, and that makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three11 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 If it was mid 90's and was 7 string guitars, it was numetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 If it was mid 90's and was 7 string guitars, it was numetal So if it was the 2000's and 8 string guitars its....? Deftones are not nu metal. Their albums before White Pony, yes. Everything past that is crushing brutal lovely music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three11 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 All I'm saying was the definition of numetal was pretty much 7 string guitars accompanied with some rappy lyrics. Deftones Adrenaline and Korn - Korn are literally the definition of numetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Secular Haze Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Snow is the definition of nu-metal. You can't get any nu-er than 'Informer.' Dusted_By_Space 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deftones Adrenaline and Korn - Korn are literally the definition of numetal Not to be "that guy" but Steph didn't use 7-strings until S/t and that was released in 2003. Still, you could call most of the first three albums "Nu-Metal" to a certain degree but it was done in a unique and beautiful way that separated them from the pack.

I remember hexagram being the first song that had that 7 string sound to it. White pony was mostly played in drop C on 6 strings I believe.
