Gore: Chino feat. Deftones? 

I love gore. I love all Deftones albums. What I don’t like is Sergio’s situation and how they handled that

I have such a soft spot for the Deftones that even if i didn't like an album, I'm still glad it's there lol

The flow in the song " Acid Hologram " is gold. That's one of the best songs in the album.

Always said gore was underrated. It took me a couple of listens but once it sunk in, I found myself playing it a lot. Hearts/wires, Rubicon, Doomed User,Phantom Bride, etc. It’s a banger.

I don't care what anyone says. I like this album just as much as Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan EDIT: Solid video btw

The only problem I have with Gore is that it could've been mixed and mastered better

Gore is definitely on the lower end of they're albums, but still not bad. My favorite song off it is Hearts/Wires.

i'm a die hard deftones fun, but this album never grows up in me despite A LOT of listening, it just Bores me, the only mediocre/not that good record on their entire discography, IMO The only highlights are prayers/triangles and hearts / wires great video tho, keep going

Gore was released when I was a sophomore in highschool. My closest friends and I practically made it our soundtrack for the summer and the rest of that year. Having lost those friends forever due to real dark life situations, gore holds a huge place in my heart. All I can do is reminisce when I hear most of those songs. Being a troubled kid, being high, hot summer days. It’s a 9/10 album.

it took a while for me to get in to this album but once it hits it hits!

Gore is their best album since the first four. Easily.

I appreciate your channel, keep up the great work. Much respect. 🙏

Stephen and I think Chino were both on acid while writing Gore. That’s why he said that the writing was different. Aside from Chino and Sergio being the main ones to throw around ideas, Stephen was on a trip. That’s why it sounds that way.

Absolutely Love Gore. And I’ve been a fan since Adrenaline. Hearts/Wires is an absolute gem. Really the only low point on this album is track 6

Gore is such a good album

Gore is actually one of my favourites. It fits somewhere between Self Titled and Koi No, but I have a messed up order. 1. ATF 2. Self Titled 3. Gore 4. Koi No 5. Diamond 6. SNW 7. White Pony 8. Ohms 9. Adrenaline

love these videos man

I love the vibe of your videos. Please keep Deftones content coming.

Yo this is a great video. Glad i clicked on it, learned a lot.

This album is also amazing. Period.

HE'S BACKKKK!!!

I don't think Gore is a bad album, it's just not a "Deftones" album

The songs were definitely better live, but it remains my least favorite album. I hope they don't release something worse for the rest of their career. Steph definitely has his hand in all the best Deftones tracks. I am also curious how much input Sergio had on this album. The Bass VI sounds so thin compared to the older bass sounds from Chi and even Sergio on KNY/DE. Sergio is such a good guy and was entertaining live too so It's super disappointing I didn't vibe with it. The only songs I come back to are Phantom Bride, Doomed User and I won't skip Prayers/Triangles or Hearts/Wires if it comes on.

Prayers/Triangles, Hearts/Wires and Phantom Bride are godlike songs. But on the other side here we have Acid Hologram, Geometric Headdress and Pittura Infamante, some of the worst Deftones songs in my opinion. I agree that Gore is a very polarizing album. But why isn't anyone saying the same thing about Ohms? Ohms has the same problem - a couple of great tracks (Genesis, Ceremony, Error) but all the rest of the songs is just weak, mediocre and forgettable.

Even though Chino spearheaded this album more than Stephen, I will say that the drumming and bass playing on this album is incredible. Abe and Sergio brought their A game.

Nah, not convinced Gore is one of Deftones best album. People just struggle listening to anything that isn't confirmation bias.

“What we’ve come to expect from Deftones” is silly. It’s a ride, enjoy the ride.

God it’s so nice to listen to someone talk about their problems with a deftones album without being a pos about it. Never join a fb deftones group! I didn’t love gore upon release (and I love every album with time) ohms to me was such a sigh of relief like oh thank god they can still kick ass

I like Gore. I’ve been listening since the mid 90s and I appreciate all of the different elements of their catalog. The good songs, the shit songs.

I dunno, I really enjoyed Gore. Hearts/Wires was one of their all-time best songs, and then of course you have Prayers/Triangles, Xenon, Phantom Bride, Rubicon, the list goes on. They have yet to release a bad or even disappointing album.

i like this video thank you

now only you gotta do adrenaline

fair and balanced... balanced! thank for the video!!

i love gore. top 3 deftones album imo.

What’s the background music?

I fn love Gore! Hearts/Wires is my favorite track off Gore

I love the Gore album, but I didn't evolve with the band. I pretty much bought all of Deftones CDs around the same time (apart from Around the Fur, the self titled, and White Pony, which I already had), and listened to them in random orders.

Can’t wait for ohms

Gore was very much too much Chino, and less Deftones, it has to be all of them. It would be the same as if their next album was too much Steph and less Deftones, especially considering how Steph was significantly excluded from Gore.

I love that album

Top 3 album for me. It offically split my world into half when i first heard the record. If u kno what i mean.

I didn’t like Gore at first but it’s actually a solid album. Hearts/wires is one of my favorite Deftones songs

My first listen: the album starts at Hearts/Wires, everything before it felt heavy just to be heavy (and muddy, a mixing/mastering issue that crossed into Ohms tbfh) and since then I need more re-listens to have a different view of Gore. Lyrically, I’ve felt like Chino has become less and less connective since D.E (which was my first Deftones album, then I went back to Like Linus to catch up); and moreover, I feel like the band has been off the rails since KNY: in the sense of experimentation, feels like they’ve been getting lost in their own sauce (in a non constructive way), and I know Chi’s loss completely shifted their trajectory but now that Sergio has left; I wonder what’s next and I hope it hits for me cause I’m tired tbh and they’re my all time favorite band and my biggest writing influence for heavy music.

Even their “worst” album is listenable asf to their real fans. Just not our favorite, but still good. Out of 9 original albums they made 1 that wasn’t favorable. I’d take those odds any day of the week.

Every deftones album eventually grew on me fully except gore. It’s my least favorite record from them but I enjoy prayers/triangles, phantom bride, & hearts wires. Those seem to be the most cohesive /stand out to me. Ohms didn’t stand out much to me either.

L(MIRL) Is my favorite from Gore after the first minute. Actually didnt like Phantom Bride.

Deftones have been my favorite band since high school, but honestly they’ve had about as many duds as killer albums for awhile now. Gore was bad, and Ohms was only slightly better than that.

and now we all know that what Stephen will not do is travel by airplane because he's a flat earther

I don't mind Pittura but Xenon always bored me, definitely the most filler song of the album. Overall I do still like the album and it was the first album they released after I really got into them, I got all of their previous CDs in 2015 leading up to the release of Gore when I was in high school. There are pieces of this I think are still really good however it's their most underwhelming effort to me.

Prayers/Triangles is a banger. Otherwise, this album is weak. I’m not normally that kind of guy, but Deftones died with Chi. The first three albums are epic, the first six are great; it was all downhill from there.

nah, man, it'd still suck if it was made by another band. it's so disjointed, it's not pleasant to listen the album.... tho, I do think the correct way to reap from this album is to just grab the songs we like and listen to them in isolation. I think they sound better if they're not in that mess of a tracklist that ruins the whole experience. still, not the best songs of Deftones, not remotely, so why even care??

I find that section starting in pittura infamante and ending in gore incredibly boring

Hell yeah! I was getting worried about you, my man. I will always, always list Deftones as one of my favourite bands, but none of my favourite songs are on 'Gore'. There are glimmers of greatness on the record, little snippets of sonic mastery, but they seldom if ever last for an entire track. Pittura in particular needs to be locked away along with Mein. 'Gore' for me feels like Chino kept saying "Hey, how about this..." and the rest of the band just sighed and said "Fine, whatever, hit record." It's still Deftones, just not DEFTONES, MOTHERFUCKER. P.S I genuinely laughed out loud at "I'M FUCKING HORNSWOGGLED!"
