Yup. Frantic live is fucking fire, too.Haters gonna hate, the album's great.
I've got this LP on neon pink vinyl. It looks so sick. Great album too.
Adrenaline is maybe my least listened to in their discography, and I listen to them more than most bands. It's angry and rough around the edges unlike anything they put out later. You can hear hints of how their sound would evolve. Really interesting in that regard. Steph's riffs are so strange here.
But yeah, solid stuff. Amazing how much they found their groove with Around the Fur and White Pony soon after though.
I grew up with punk so the rough edges are appealing. TBH, it's my favorite album of theirs start-to-finish. They have a solid discography too.
I understand where you're coming from. Lo fi production can be cool for like punk, grind, or black metal, even indie folk stuff
Deftones, for me, are much different though. Like a lot of post metal bands, I'd lump into the same category- their biggest strength is the atmosphere they can create. That punk grit is sorta the antithesis of that. Maybe my least favorite album by them for that reason.
I'm curious, you ever listened to Gore by them? It's the album everyone sorts dunks on for whatever reason, but critics loved it initially. It's almost like a Deftones indie hard rock album. The production is almost intentionally flat.
I dig it, but its maybe their most divisive release.
If there were an award for "totally dope band who does the Tool thing nearly as good as Tool does... if not just as good... "Soen would win it hands down
I will check them out.
Initially formed in 2004,[1] it was in May 2010 that the formation of Soen was announced. The original lineup consisted of former Opeth drummer Martin Lopez, ex-Death, Testament and Sadus bassist Steve Di Giorgio, Willowtree vocalist Joel Ekelöf and guitarist Kim Platbarzdis.[2]
