we love them

Didn't they come out as pro-trump recently? I'm definitely gonna start listening to their music if that's true.

Who is this semon demon?

Stephen Carpenter really likes to golf. I think he might be friends with him.

Also I really like them. White Pony has such great production. The band usually melds together very well. However Gore was weak and the production was bone dry.

they suck dick

They're awesome, duh.

Seriously, they changed with the times but still sound like them

t. Nu-Male is an anagram of Nu-Metal.
Make of that what you will.

Who is this boner condoner?user, nobody wants to hear your gay fantasies. LGBT board was made for you

I like them but don't listen much

Good album cover aesthetics too for a rock band

They're sick af the music still holds up.

v. Nu tuxedo

you're alright Sup Forums i'd buy you a drink

idk who the model is, this is the cover of my fav deftones album

I never thought I'd say this but their S/T may be their best. White Pony is fantastic, but Chino's lyrics and the depth of their sound both progressed wildly on that album.

beeeeEEEEEEEEEEEWare
da waaaahhhhturrrrrr

>using the word fantastic

end yourself my man

Tremendous post, my dude

>my man
Begin yourself, child.

nice Cuck vocabularies boys, include me in the crop

Definitive album rankings

Saturday Night Wrist>Diamond Eyes>White Pony>Self Titled>Koi No Yokan>Around the Fur>Adrenaline>an album produced by someone tone deaf>Gore

>dat post to IP ratio

I think they're pretty great. Especially for an alt-metal band with some gaze-y vibes. A lot of their albums have great production and good songwriting.

I agree with this, but I would've put Around the Fur a little higher.

some really crunchy riffage on that album user. some of the tracks are pretty calming at the same time imo

The are fuckin shit!

cut

They're great. Digital Bath is one of my favorite songs

Name a song with a better skit than this one:
youtube.com/watch?v=YfxSjeCdqFw

my rating:

White Pony > Saturday Night Wrist > Koi No Yokan > Around the Fur > Diamond Eyes > s/t > Gore > Adrenaline

>tfw dr. goldstein just fucked my shit up
>tfw i'll never have girlpoop in my skin
feels bad man

>greasy filthy handjob

Deftones are fucking great. It saddens me they get lumped in with a lot of shitty nu-metal bands for whatever reason, so they tend to get overlooked.

White Pony>Koi No Yokan>Diamond Eyes>Around The Fur>Saturday Night Wrist>Adrenaline>Gore>Self-titled

why the hate for s/t
youtube.com/watch?v=Ye-frzA7N0E is great

Koi No Yokan>Diamond Eyes>Saturday Night Wrist>White Pony>Around the Fur>Self-Titled>Adrenaline>Gore

What sucks is that they were going really strong since Saturday Night Wrist, I don't know what the hell happened with Gore.

Personally speaking, there feels like there is just too much filler on the album. And it feels like they were in this weird transitional period from their early work to the band they are now, and I think that comes through on the record.

That being said, there are some diamonds in the rough. It's not a bad album, it's just not their strongest.

Deftones are great and have a very consistently great discography (apart from Adrenaline and s/t). Anyone who says they're bad is not aesthetic at all.

On seconds thoughts, rating it below Gore is a crime. Some solid songs on it for sure, just did never gravitate towards it as an entire album is all.

It's impossible for me to rank their albums but I didn't
like Gore as much as everyone else did. It seemed like a weaker version of KNY. It's actually the only album I kinda don't like. Prayers/Triangles is still a good single though but the album was a letdown for me 2bh

S/T = White Pony > Koi No Yokan > Around the Fur > Adrenaline > Saturday Night Wrist = Diamond Eyes > Gore

Ssshhhhh, its secretly their best. Would jave been better with lovers included though

SNW=KNY>WP>DE>>ATF>Gore>Adrenaline>S/T

i love s/t, it was my first taste of their music. so many gorgeous tracks off that album. kinda surprised by the dislike for it here.

anyways my rank would be:
SNW>WP>DE>S/T>Gore>ATF>Adrenaline>KNY

which tracks do you enjoy most? First time I heard Cherry Waves, I replayed it for hours and days, its so beautiful.

top 5 songs go

royal
beware
digital bath
my own summer
hexagram

Digital Bath
Beware
Be Quiet and Drive
Riviere
Royal

cherry waves
hole in the earth
needles and pins
risk
feiticeira

its tricky to pick just 5

Good Morning Beautiful
This Place is Death
Rats! Rats! Rats!
Lhabia
Knife Prty

Rocket Skates gets an honorable mention because its damn near perfect except that Stephen kinda just keeps playing the same riff in the bridge before the last chorus when it really feels like he should have done more, fucked with the scale or something at least.

Amazing post, friendo

Why the hate for Gore?

Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event
Hexagram
What Happened to You

Damn it, cut off the end.
Cherry Waves / Xerxes
Lhabia / Mascara

Xerces
Beware
Feiticeira
My Own Summer (Shove It)
Entombed

Most filler out of all their albums, everything between Prayers and the title track is meh as fuck besides Doomed User.

Also THE WORST mixing/mastering/overall production out of all their albums, usually all their shit blends great while still letting everything stand out, but Gore just sounds like a muddled mess and its impossible to pick most individual aspects out.

Really wanted to like it, prayers and user are cool tracks and the album art is asthetic as fuck, but everyone involved didn't put nearly enough effort forward.

Gore's biggest sin though is not being Eros.

it's still better & less filler than s/t and adrenaline

I thought the production made a great atmosphere, maybe that's what they went for

my rankings:
ATF>WP>DE>KNY>gore>SNR>s/t>adrenaline

top 5 songs:
Headup
Good morning beautiful
Entombed
Teenager
Shove it

go listen to SNW again

yall forgetting their b-sides and rareities
lovers
sinatra
be quiet and drive accustic
smile

Riviere

Was it really the band that composed the song with those eerie overtones that come in at 8 seconds in and grow in intensity leading into the chorus, or was that part of the song the decision of some no-name producer with a vision?

>Terry Date
>no-name
but I do think they're very much involved in that part of the creative process

Sorry, I only said that because I don't really know any producers and musicians tend to take the lion's share of the compositional credit.

Real talk, which Chino is better: Skinny Chino or Chunky Chino?

nah it's cool i was just memeing
Terry Date produced a ton of albums for a lot of the popular bands that were around not long before Deftones formed. He produced all their albums up to s/t. no doubt they learned things from him.
