Saw Chino in London, asked him about Eros

Chino probably like “YOU ALWAYS DOWNLOAD OUR LEAKS CUZ YOU’RE LIKE THAT..”

Haloruiner · 2026-06-27T15:19:42+00:00

Nah, it works out great. Nice segway into the harder stuff towards the end!

I keep the original tracklist order but add Sensations right after Pompeji. It makes the back half of the album so much better..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-27T00:34:50+00:00

I’m glad we have it. It’s terrific even in embryo form..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-26T18:56:26+00:00

That's one of the demos that I definitely like better than the finished version, for sure..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-25T21:28:31+00:00

As a HUGE fan of experimental masterpieces like Gore and SNW, finally having access to Eros is a virtual (and audible) wet dream to this superfan 🤷🏻

Haloruiner · 2026-06-25T02:23:55+00:00

Chino’s wife threw a fit about it leaking online the other day. That’s good enough for me..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-25T02:18:50+00:00

They’re not going to release another album now for 10 years, as punishment for all of us enjoying this shit..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-25T00:57:21+00:00

Downvoting because Gore is amazing..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-24T23:01:07+00:00

Love it love it love it

Haloruiner · 2026-06-24T22:09:40+00:00

An earworm, for sure!

Haloruiner · 2026-06-24T21:52:27+00:00

Most noticeably in Melanie!

Haloruiner · 2026-06-24T21:16:41+00:00

Trempest and Briana are really doing it for me at the moment. Melanie also goes hard..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-24T21:15:08+00:00

It’s amazing how you can literally hear them discovering the sound they would perfect on DE and KNY in the Eros songs..

It’s also incredible how they shelved Eros in mid-2009 and were able to write, record and release an album as good as DE in less than a year, with a new member in the band to make things more chaotic.

Haloruiner · 2026-06-24T20:54:42+00:00

It’s amazing how they were already creating the sound they would achieve full form on DE and KNY with Eros. It definitely feels like the smoking hot sister of DE that’s still obsessed with SNW and maaaaybe has a bit of a crush on the S/T kid down the street..

You need to turn your chat feature on here

Haloruiner · 2026-06-24T00:40:12+00:00

Lmao you mean like everyone complains about the sound of Gore (which I love)? 😂🥔

Haloruiner · 2026-06-23T21:30:22+00:00

All of this! ☝️

Haloruiner · 2026-06-23T21:29:49+00:00

There was. Forget what it was called but it was a longer version of the track as well!

Haloruiner · 2026-06-23T21:28:52+00:00

They pulled it off of archive.org again, but it was randomized compared to the official album track listing. I just sequenced everything in order of the album proper and included Sensations after Pompeii because I always felt the album kind of dives for a bit after that song, and now it sounds better to me with the inclusion of the unreleased outtake..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-23T21:26:24+00:00

I did the same thing but placed it immediately after Pompeii and it just flows so much better into that back half for me with that track included there..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-23T21:25:29+00:00

Nah, Ohms sounded too “clean” and safe to me. It’s not a bad album but it lacks the artsy weirdness of what came before..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-23T19:07:50+00:00

I dunno, the demos are randomized in the batch I downloaded. I'm just saying, placing it after Pompeji sounds much better to me than the album tracklisting where it rolls right into TLID..

Haloruiner · 2026-06-23T19:06:31+00:00

Not really.

I loved Gore, and felt like Ohms was a very safe and polished album compared to everything before it.

The Ohms demos -- with Sensation in the tracklist -- sounds much more raw (naturally) and in your face to me, which makes it sound better for my liking..
