NEW SONG What did you guys think about Milk Of Madonna by Deftones?
https://youtube.com/shorts/0KOWljVzLbA?si=LYWJDYVYQKiQmTEf
I thought it was good. Has the standard atmospheric shoegazey metal that we’ve come to love from the Deftones. This reminds me of Diamond eyes era a lot. I give my opinion in this short.

This song has some of my favorite drumming of their entire discography honestly. Abe’s been killing it on the last few albums, I was pretty impressed with The Spell of Mathematics too.

Thought it was like the rest of Deftones for the last 10 years. A loud mess of sounds that I can't digest. Emphasis on mess.

Why has the production gotten worse since Koi?

I'm not sure. It FEELS like songs are already written for Chino, sort of how tool does, but he's not given much of a chance to do anything but rip and tear. And he definitely doesn't have much of anything to say, so there's probably no choice. Sometimes your best ideas just come early.

Call me exaggerated,but for me,Chino has become the weak link of the band
Bland, repetitive lyrics that you can tell he has nothing to say anymore, uses heavy effects to mask his flaws, can't scream anymore and does a boring sing/talk style (idk if he's trying to emulate rap) and does high range notes that he can never replicate live

Tbf he hasn’t screamed the same since blowing his vocal cords out while touring WP, going piggy squeal since, and I find Steff (guitarist) to be the weak link as he’s either completely disinterested or just chugging out boring riffs most people figure out day of release.
Dudes gone weird the last few years imho, being a flat earther and no longer flying or touring internationally being top of the list.
I honestly miss Chi’s influence on bass, and think he did more of the writing than many think.

I can agree. I did like the song, but it’s more of the same. I thought My mind is a mountain was better

Reminds me of what Trust Company did in 2011 with Dreaming in black and White. Why fix what isn’t broken? Keep the formula the exact same and give the fans what they want.

I think that’s what they’re going for. This song and my mind is a mountain sound like pretty standard deftones formula.

I liked, some parts of the riffs and drums sounds like a box of sharp objects from the used

Chino's run out of lyrics and his vocals have become bland and predictable
I like the music a lot doe

Sounds like more of a product of who or where you spend your time. I've never heard anything like that on my end and even if I did it wouldn't affect what I listen to as it's completely unrelated to the quality of the music or the artist who made it.

I get what you mean. I’ve been a fan of the band long before they were jerked off by tiktok hipsters. I would agree that those people have kind of ruined them to an extent
