New Deftones

[SteveXFR]

I finally got around to listening to the new Deftones record and what a let down. I think they must have got Lars Ulrich to do the mix. The bass is just buried and only really appears to be mirroring the guitar part.

The best bit about Deftones for me was always Chi or Sergio's bass grooves so its a real let down.

I love Chi’s playing on ATF & WP, interesting, tasteful, solid. White Pony & Abe Cunningham in general are incredible. I sadly lost interest after that era, snippets like the one above don’t appeal

Exact opposite experience for me. I think this is their best record in years.

I just listened to that track on headphones. The bass sound is actually very good and defined. The problem, as you say, is that it does get buried to an extent by that awful distorted rhythm guitar.

 

This is why I like playing in trios. More space to play with.
