zero Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I was a big fan of the Palms album Chino did with Isis. wish they could have kept that going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hijexx Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Good for them. Got to see them early 2000's when they were still sorta in their prime'ish. The venue they played at is now an Urban Outfitters in SoDoSoPa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Intro riff is like the happy-go-lucky cousin of the My Own Summer riff. Oft when I read "deftones" my brain interprets it as "deft ones". This has always bugged me just a little bit. Careful when you're merging words together, bands.

auxien Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 ^pretty sure Chino only knows like 15 melodies and just recycles them and transposes/slows/speeds them. that's okay tho, he's still good in his niche. Abe is and always has been great yeah. agree he stood out on this track. and good that Stephen is trying to get more interesting over the last few albums i just dont think it serves their songs well. got some good groovy riffs for the main section of this one tho. not holding out much hope for this album after how Gore hit me (was not into it at all) and something about this track being the last on the album seems a little odd. video is okay at least. sorta surreal video gameish vibes.

Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 haven't listened to any of the stuff they've put out since the self-titled record (not sure why - is it good/bad?) but I still bump white pony and around the fur every now and again. anyway this new track is pretty decent. guitar tone and riffs seem very CKY-esque, although maybe not quite as intricate. love that boss oc-2/3 sound.

Goiter Sanchez Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I had a giant crush on Chino in high school, he's still gorgeous (love my burly brown bears, am married to one ;P) Oh the music, uh, cool I guess. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I really love that album. I wish there was more. Though I do wish there were some heavier parts, ISIS always had the ability to get super dark.

I know the band was in really bad shape at that point and Im pretty sure they put that together without all being together at all in a studio. Gore for me was their worst effort, so Im hoping Ohms is a return to form. KNY is absolutely perfect IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Sombrero Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I agree with most of that. Gore was quite weak really wasn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 New song is fine. I've kept up with them (fan since Around the Fur) and I've kept up with them but I think at this point I've just outgrown them (probably a long time ago). The last one I truly enjoyed was the self-titled and that's because I was more into they style when it came out so it stayed in rotation for a while, I actually got to know it as much as the previous ones. It's solid, quite under-appreciated for some reason (likely the curse of being a follow-up to the fan favorite White Pony). When Saturday Night Wrists came out I don't think I picked it up right away (probably didn't care for the single "Hole in the Earth" and still don't) but a friend eventually persuaded me to check it out. And I thought the cover art was great so what the hell. Anyway, it was decent but I didn't spend a whole lot of time with it (tried played it a week or so ago when Ohms was announced and it was tough getting through that awful first song). I did think Diamond Eyes and Koi no yokan were quite good and superior to SNW, and played them a good bit when they came out. They each contained a few songs with fantastic riffs. But Gore was a disappointment and I probably only spun it 2 or 3 times. It's probably me, but this might be the first album of theirs I don't bother listening to. I've changed, and they really haven't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 @sidewinder that post is exactly how I feel and my experience of their albums, (I’m just too lazy to write it!) Absolutely spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Sombrero Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 They still just about make it into band I will always listen to what they put out. For now. That list has dwindled to almost nothing these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Sombrero Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Going to blast this album on my drive from Derry to Belfast later today. Haven't taken a half dsy after a shitty week including a classic Richie 24 hour shift on call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaizai Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Wow on first listen I prefer this a million times than gore good deftones ! guitar and vocals upfront a bassist who has space to play Drums : for me it’s the first time I hear Abe in the back, you can almost lose some ghost notes or maybe my tinnitus is playing with me again Edited September 25, 2020 by zaizai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 yea, this is way better than Gore. Carpenter is ridiculous on this whole album. Radiant City, especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Sombrero Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 First listen has this as their third worst but it was in the car so entirely unfair to judge. I imagine I will grow to love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
