The only song I wouldn’t 5 is milk of the Madonna funny enough. But it’s growing on me a lot.

I was trying to think of what it was that the ending synth of Souvenir reminded me of and it just hit me. The ending song of Summer of 84. That makes me love it anymore. Cool movie

Fantastic record through and through, but all the talk about this being the best thing they've ever done or even the best since KNY / DE is premium glaze. Ohms is easily just as good as this, and honestly a better representation of the band sonically whereas this is super melodic and brings the nostalgia feels with songs like infinite source and cut hands (legitimately two of the best songs they've ever written). To me, this is more like a career retrospective favoring the bands melodic side whereas Ohms is the darker, more progressive side of the same coin.

Sput glaze is extremely real yeah.

Okay but this IS the best thing since KNY lol
It's really not unreasonable glaze to say this is their best in 12 years, when the last 2 records were very mid by their standards

It's a bit of a sput glaze but I'm thinking this might be their 4th best after 'Around the Fur' (obvious best haha), 'White Pony' and 'Diamond Eyes' (even the potential to jump ahead of this one).
So right now not too far behind Diamond Eyes and not too far ahead of Saturday Night Wrist - is that a big glaze?

'this is super melodic and brings the nostalgia feels'
Yeah it's a back to their roots with a modern twist.
To me that's the ideal thing they could release now, I want an album with a strong melodic sensibility and different guitar tones throughout rather than another atmospheric arty 'ultra breathy Chino' semi-slog.
At first I thought the album was closest in style to KNY but now I feel it's the equivalent of Diamond Eyes in a lot of ways.

It’s all much of a muchness after SNW which isn’t for me at all.
I do like Gore though.
Still haven’t listened to this but the singles are the bollocks it has to be said.

It's easily the best of the last 3, but it can't touch their top-tier stuff imo.

zak - lot of the guitar work is very mid 90s, was reminded of Billy Corgan ('Where Boys Fear to Tread' in particular) and even Placebo once or twice.
It's more varied and more melodic, which is a massive improvement for me.
I find Deftones as a shoegaze band pretty tedious...which going by individual track ratings on RYM makes me massively in the minority.
For me Deftones are a groove based 'sensual' (nu) metal band with a slight Radiohead/Tool fixation...NOT a post-rock/metal and/or shoegaze inspired 'long-form' bunch of wandering wilburys.
...but each to their own 'Tones.

"I find Deftones as a shoegaze band pretty tedious...which going by individual track ratings on RYM makes me massively in the minority."
The shoegaze-y tracks here are the best though. Souvenir, MOTM, Metal dream & departing the body. Infinite source too, though I guess that has more of a mid-90's alt-rock feel to it

I think you'll dig this, but surprised you didn't like MOTM? That's their best single since Leathers from KNY

Infinite Source and Cut Hands are easily the best tracks here. Rest ranges from really good to mid.

Yeah like you Hawks...@doof, I hear influence from the cure, depeche or even NIN here and there, and def on the last 2 records.But label it as sensual, which is also ok lol

Cut hands is a fun song, but it doesn't crack the top 5 here, mostly because 1) feels almost too derivative of the adrenaline/ atf era without any interesting innovations and 2) that ending riff is literally ripped straight from the DE t/t

Woa you went straight from adrenaline to de on that explanation, which is more than half of their all career. But the answer relies in the fact that they re the same band...Cut Hands is obviously on top 3
