closer is p good (even if it was a stupid choice of single)
harsh vox on Genesis is a brutal dealbreaker, have absolutely no time for screams that weak + that half-arsed

his screams are why I don’t have this at a 5, I don’t think they’re half assed, dude has just been doing this for 30 years.
Chino even 10 years ago would’ve absolutely crushed it

yeah Chino can't really scream anymore like he used to but the chorus and bridge of that song are great. I can give the screams a pass

if the delivery isn't half-arsed, the way the entire verse progression leans on that lame delay effect most certainly is

Fair point. The harsh vocals on any Deftones albums post Diamond Eyes haven't been great anyway.

that’s fair. They really lean on that a few times.

you know Stephen came to Chino and was like "dude I have the fattest riff ever, you gotta scream over this" and Chino was like "am getting too old for dis shit but ok, let's throw delay on it tho"

'First four tracks are fire then the middle section is a bit iffy'
Yeah, after three years and multiple listens, I still remember nothing about Pompeji and Spell.

Both Spell and Pompeji (and This Link is Dead, but I think that track is a little better) are the most noticeable with how much weaker Chino is these days. But good god I love the outros on both. The instrumentals on the back end of Spell are hypnotic asf and the end of Pompeji is gorgeous.

The album flows flawlessly, Koi is the only other one that I feel is this cohesive

Pompeji sucks, Spell is god-tier but I can't listen to it anymore cause it's too catchy and gets stuck in my noodle too much

Pompeji is one of my favorites

Headless is the real sleeper hit here

Instrumentally, Pompeji is very nice all the way through. It’s the only track here that I think Chino is outright weak on. The verses are just so pleasant sounding, then the chorus is just so fucking rough on the ears man.
And yeah Headless is the shit

Genesis sounds almost like a Deftones parody to me

Idk, to me this whole album (barring Ohms and maybe This Link Is Dead, altho it’s like a weaker Gore or Royal) is lacking in both the intensity dept and the hook dept.
This thing is seriously bereft of any memorable hooks, esp on tracks as garbage as Ceremony. And where is the intensity? The same people who loved Diamond eyes for its insanely catchy choruses and career-high screams thinks this is on the same level? How? Why? The only thing this album rly has is their brand of atmosphere and moodiness, otherwise it’s like listening to all the weakest moments from KNY
