That distant sound is Frank, their synth guy. I loved how present he was on this album. He was really great on their self titled as well. There were some songs I wish he was turned up higher on that album; that’s not really a complaint I have with Ohms.
Sam K well, I wouldn’t say completely drowned out. I won’t count songs like Lucky you and anniversary of an uninteresting event for obvious reasons, but you can hear him pretty well on deathblow, you can hear him on Minerva but he’s quiet enough to wear his sounds can be mistaken for guitar parts. However, as a whole, not that it would ever happen most likely, I would love a remixing of this album with Frank turned up a bit higher. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard the version of when girls telephone boys with a boost on his sound, but I thought it was SO MUCH BETTER. Same with the remixing of hexagram that’s out there
Dean Smith yeah, that’s why I didn’t count it. Not only was that song not him, but it was all effects. That used to be my least favorite song on the album, but it’s begun to grow on me lately
Spell of Mathematics slaps. On my first playthrough it was the first track on the album that really blew my away. I think the first half may have thrown you off because its pretty heavily incorporating elements of artists like Depeche Mode and Sade that you don't normally hear on metal songs. You can hear it on the chorus especially. Definitely a grower of an album that requires multiple lessons to truly appreciate. Watching your full album react now and I'm excited to hear your thoughts after hearing the full thing. I'm a bit of a super-fan so I may be biased, but personally I think this is their best album in years.
Fantano’s review is literally the one & only negative critical review lol, it’s otherwise their most critically acclaimed album according to metacritic
@@pauljansen1137 arguably no. Though it is their most iconic album, it did get a few mixed reviews. On metacritic, the aggregate score of all critical reviews for white pony is 72, while Ohms is the highest at 87
@@Therealfakemaxgoldberg ok..i'm having a long good list on this new album then...maybe i'm just that old guy liking all that great stuff from the past too much😉
@@pauljansen1137 Well, different fans have different expectations. Nothing beats White pony & ATF, but Ohms is right up there in my opinion, a future classic
I gave up picking a favorite song on this album, I can't get enough of any of the songs! But yeah, for the most part, headless and the spell of mathematics have been the ones up there for me.
One thing not much people talks about is the rhythm changes in the vocal lines, this element complements so much the bends and helps the energy flow too well
@@TheJinjo75 nah, melon appreciates some of their earlier albums. He’s said he really likes Around The Fur, Phite Pony, & Saturday Night Wrist in the past
Tbf Fantano's metal reviews are pretty questionable. Idc much for what he has to say, he's given good/great albums bad scores and mediocre albums really good scores. Also, you should check out Crystal Lake - Disobey
IMO,best album since the s/t. I can't remember listening to one of their albums upon release as much as this one,again,since the s/t. This album is the perfect album for Frank to show his chops too,before I'd always thought,why do they bother with him but that's just me. Radiant city & Ohms are my favorites,as I tend to be guitar/riff driven,though I've grown to know that Deftones has evolved into a different band since the early days. That said,they've done a great job of staying relevant and interesting without losing themselves and their edge. Fan since the beginning.
This and Headless blew me away the first time listening, and eventually realized how incredible every single song on this album really is!

He was completely drowned out on the S/T album, he shines much better on every album that came after

This album was the only thing on my headphones for three weeks straight! Every song is brilliant!
Thanks for the reaction. Loved it
That chorus is SEX.. same w/ Urantia. Whole album is phenomenal
Dude the chorus is insanely powerful lol I thought I was the only one
@@georgecordova8851 it’s trancy & spacey/dark af 🔥
Radiant city is the sleeper of the album. More you listen to it, better it gets. Whole album is dope and fresh
This one and Error are my favorite tracks from the album 👌🏼
This song hits you. The synth work is amazing.
I love what frank delgado (the sampler) brings to this track
Fantano’s review is literally the one & only negative critical review lol, it’s otherwise their most critically acclaimed album according to metacritic
I can't believe he called it "80s horror movie" 😐😐
White Pony is their most critically accaimed, no?

Radiant city is my fave, that riff!...also the synths...
I feel you but the chaos of the first part to me is amazing, it sounds like a love song and to me it represents the chaos in love!
This Link is Dead is awesome too
best song on the album is Headless don't believe me check it out yourself bro!
I gave up picking a favorite song on this album, I can't get enough of any of the songs!
But yeah, for the most part, headless and the spell of mathematics have been the ones up there for me.
Well if you listen to the album as a whole as it’s meant to be, it’s one long awesome song
@@vexari01 this one and , Headless, and Error are my faves. The whole album is awesome

Thanks for reacting to my favorite band bro ..keep em coming
The Melon Hates Deftones, he only like around the fur and that's it.
U talking about fantano?
He likes ATF, White Pony, & SNW. SNW is his favorite album by them but he hasn’t liked anything they’ve done since
Wrongthany Mantano for sure
@@samk6141 What I have heard from him is that he dint like Deftones. Ever.

I'd say generally he only likes really chaotic stuff like Converge based on his reviews
I remember him saying that the best Korn album is Issues which he would give 6/10 and I was like "WTF?"
Anthony Fantano has shat on Deftones for a while now
This song is the best on the album for me.
This whole album is fantastic. But this song...omg, Chino can get it
You can really snap your fingers to this tune.

This song is the closest thing to perfection!
Watching reviews of Ohms, it occurs to me I don't listen to that particular Deftones nearly enough.
It was pretty good........i would love to see you react to tethra
There’s your 9 string brah
