Minor thing but I’m loving Abe’s 1-2 stick count ins on Genesis and The Spell of Mathematics… it’s the little things

This is getting more and more closer to being my AOTY, can’t stop listening to it. Only other real contender is Protomartyr and I haven’t listened to that album in at least a month

What songs would ya’ll put on a playlist for a mate who only really likes the shoegaze elements of Deftones? They can handle a bit of chuggy riffage (unavoidable with Deftones tbf) so don’t let that put you off including some gazey bangers…

388

All albums?

389

Yep

390

How many songs?

391

As many as possible

Edit: lets just say 20, don’t want to scare them off

392

Need to listen back to some of them, but Beware, Rosemary, Sextape. Depending on what they like about gazey stuff, maybe Swerve city, Error, pink Maggit, Passenger Teenager, Digital Bath, their covers of Drive, No Ordinary Love and Do You Believe.

I’d say for a definite 10:

Digital Bath
Minerva
Hole in the Earth
Cherry Waves
Xerces
Kim Dracula
Beauty School
Sextape
Prayers/Triangles
Error

And then 10 more with the shoegaze definition being a little bit more on the fence / if you want to push things a little bit more:

Rx Queen
Street Carp
Pink Maggit
Deathblow
Combat
Prince
Tempest
Rosemary
Geometric Headdress
Pompeji

Be Quiet and Drive is their benchmark for shoegazey Deftones so I guess their definition is quite loose

395

Always so thorough, love it. Cheers :+1:

Edit: Minerva was top of my list

You could just pass them a copy of the new Hum album as a gateway…

Oh, i think i meant Cherry Waves, not Beware. That somg came into my head when i thought of Chino and shoegaze.

Also, the Crosses album would work as another gateway.

I keep getting those two confused too, it’s kind of weird that they put them back to back.

Kinda just wanting to focus on Deftones. They’ve been threatening to get into them for years so just trying to give a little push

Fair, although you could mixx in a Crosses tune to help the flow.
