Derek™ Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 To those who've listened: do you feel like the singles were pretty odd or weak choices? So many other cuts on this album scratched that classic Deftones itch, but under a fresh lens or with a slightly new twist. I'm willing to accept that the singles will grow on me, but the real meat and potatoes is somewhere around the middle through the back half for me.

I don't understand how people can listen to music in the background and then give a review on it. Try listening for real and then sharing your opinion.

For what it's worth, I listened to this album while multi-tasking with work-related stuff, but nothing too distracting. (I tend to tune out music altogether when I'm writing an e-mail or holding a discussion over IM.) Had it at a consistently high volume on some decent desktop speakers a few feet away. I don't know if it's 10/10 material but it's way better than forgettable background noise after 1 listen. Eager to hear how it holds up. tape and holyvacantsholyhell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to accept that the singles will grow on me, but the real meat and potatoes is somewhere around the middle through the back half for me. I feel like choosing the closing track as the first single was a weird choice, especially how it doesn’t really fall in place with the rest of the record. Great closer though, but I prefer Genesis. Great track. All in all, fantastic record. So glad Stephen was really back in the fold, you can hear him all over the writing throughout. Heavy self/titled and SNW vibes IMO. dantheriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesar11 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 it's a pretty solid record. honestly sounds like a follow up to SNW more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negavinyl Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Anyone who ordered from their website get shipping confirmation? I ordered the deluxe with Zine so it’s u likely mine is coming anytime soon but I have an order on the way from Gnarlywood and I’m not sure what record or artist it is. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 This post is mostly for Derek. Although I liked it on first listen (probably would have put it in the top half of the discog), Gore is now probably my second least favourate album, Adrenaline takes the bottom spot. Both with a couple of songs I like, but I get bored. Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan are my favourites. Ohms, imho, takes all of the best elements of Saturday Night Wrist and Diamond Eyes. This is top-shelf Deftones for me, I'll need more time to digest, but I'm almost certain this is in my top three.

holyvacantsholyhell Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) This album is fuckin’ excellent. Easily their best since Diamond Eyes.

NoWorthyIcons Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 While I have trouble putting it in my top three just yet, I think it has potential. There is a great deal of replayability with it and I am more immediately blown away by this record than I have by most of their previous releases. I definitely don't understand any initial resistance to Ohms. Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewberinger Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 yeah if the deluxe or whatever edition that I ordered off their Webstore is truly delayed to 10/23 then I will also be picking up a gold variant tomorrow negavinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaulManella Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Caved in and downloaded the 320. Thought the low quality added to the albums charm but I was wrong. This is better. Still no tracking number from bullmoose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
