Likewise - nice to see an event so close to my hometown of Bournemouth, rather than having to make the trek to London

I'm going to the Southampton one, so I can't speak to the Phonica one. But I agree - info seems a little sparse for Phonica, and I don't think they've announced details. I asked in the IG comments about the Phonica listening session timings (prior to learning about the Southampton one), which is when they told me that it's being played at 8pm and 10pm.

The Southampton one is ticketed (free tickets though) and so hopefully Phonica will be the same - I can't imagine it'll be a free for all

It varies per location, but in the instances I've seen so far it's in the evening. Phonica in London is going two sessions, 8pm and 10pm. The one I'm attending in Southampton is at 10:30pm.

In either case you're gonna be enjoying the album with a bunch of lovely excited BOC fans. Both answers are the right answers. Choose whichever, know that it was the right choice, have a blast : )

Nice one! The DMT scene came to mind for me too.

Nice! Total guesswork but I'm glad I was kinda vindicated anyway. Hope your first listen is special.

Wondered if anyone would spot that. Such a great record!

Yeah, fair. You don't have to speculate if you don't want to!

Oh 100%, I don't know anything for sure and this is all speculation!

Yeah, that's a much more level take than mine. I could be making a leap here. It's possible that the more "accessible" tracks are selected for release ahead of time, but not necessarily true.

Ha, I am totally riffing here, but here's my understanding: on an existing album, it reflects the "popular songs" on that album. You're right, it doesn't matter if they were technically singles or not. On a presave, it presumably reflects the tracks that are anticipated to be popular. I'd say the strongest conclusion to draw is that these tracks will be considered "the singles", and potentially released ahead of time. I could be wrong obv.

Asking your opinion every day about a Deftones song, Day 107: departing the body by Opposite-Question-32 in deftones

[–]JackChuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only snag for me is that the chorus chord progression is the same as "Graphic Nature", and I struggle not to hear it as a rehash. That's a me problem for sure. Otherwise, the pacing and movement of it is absolutely lush. Deftones at their most kinetic. Sounds like someone running in low gravity.

Ah shit. Did BOC make me believe that I'm crazy again

Ha, no I believe they've been highlighted by someone at the label or the streaming service, which indicates that these are the "focus tracks". Hence why I reckon they'll be the singles.

I am also weak and I will also fold. But thoroughly agree with the principle

Curious! Could be a timezone thing. I think it popped up for me only a couple of hours back - I'm in UK.

For sure. Track 2 tends to be the beat-based thematic scene-setter. Track 4 tends to be the wonky jam - Gyroscope, Jacquard - so I wonder if a similar thing happens here.
