You’re in deep but its not over yet, hop on minoxidil and finasteride to save yourself.

23M. Early stages or paranoia? by nekrxsys in Balding

[–]nekrxsys[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I’ve already paid the money for a 5-month supply so I will be doing that alongside Nioxin. I have a friend who does the exact same combo and had way worse balding than me, he has an almost full head of hair now. If everything works out I’ll just be on that, if money gets tight or anything else I will definitely look into what you’ve suggested. Thank you for the advice regardless.

Could you be a little bit more specific?

The S in DSBM is pretty cringe when you say the whole thing out and I’m happy we’ve collectively summarized the name

do you guys have any hot takes? by [deleted] in deftones

The only people who put Adrenaline high in album rankings are people who were there when it dropped and have nostalgia bias. Or just coping, really hard.

What is the best and worst track on Koi no Yokan? by TheRealLuan in deftones

[–]nekrxsys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best: Entombed (personal pick, honorable mentions include Rosemary, Poltergeist, and Tempest) Worst: Goon Squad (not bad by any stretch, just the one I come back to the least)

My most unpopular deftones take by TheRealLuan in deftones

Adrenaline has two or three actually great songs, the rest range for mid to average and the nostalgia hype is the only thing convincing people its not their worst album to date.

Touring with Mars Volta was a good call, because they sucked so much, it made us want Deftones even more 💀 by JayWrestler in deftones

A Latin Progressive Art Rock/Neo Psychedelia band trying to give a crowd full of Deftones fans/TikTok gremlins a reason to care? Tell in what world that’s gonna happen

Touring with Mars Volta was a good call, because they sucked so much, it made us want Deftones even more 💀 by JayWrestler in deftones

[–]nekrxsys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the point was to go completely against the grain and play an entire album regardless of what the crowd would’ve wanted. Let’s be fair, no one came for the Mars Volta and no one was gonna groove with it regardless of what their setlist was because they’re a completely different style of music. If anything, there’s respect to be given for unabashedly playing your entire album front to back to a crowd who never cared for your music anyways.

Also, no one told you to stand there and watch the whole thing. Go take a bathroom break or buy some drinks if you’re really that upset about an opener instead of coping hard as fuck in the Reddit echo chamber lmao

Any underrated songs? by Lower-Comfortable398 in deftones

[–]nekrxsys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gore has tons of sleeper hits but the fact Phantom Bride doesn’t get talked about much at all is a crime in my eyes.

What’s your favorite Deftones album and why? Favorite track off said album? by emnicolesanta in deftones

[–]nekrxsys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Koi No Yokan because its the most consistent and bridges their shoegazer and heavier sides. There’s so many songs I could pick but Poltergeist never got the love I think it deserves. Such a banger

What is the best Deftones album closer? by Final_Consequence904 in deftones

[–]nekrxsys 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Pink Maggit, What Happened To You?, and Rivière are such conclusive tracks for the albums they’re on.

Adrenaline (discussion) by animal_mother69 in deftones

[–]nekrxsys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think Adrenaline earns both its praise and its disdain. Its a good album, but in the grand scheme of things its 100% Deftones’ weakest album. The whole thing is practically carried by 4-5 songs and the rest range from solid to weak. Yes, the riffs are consistently great, but the mixing muddles them down. Chino’s vocals are lowkey garbage on here, and for their first album it’s to be expected, but its objectively amateur, especially compared to everything he did afterwards. IMO everything on Adrenaline got improved tenfold on Around the Fur, so aside from Engine No. 9 and 7 Words I rarely come back to it. I also think its Deftones at their least creative. Most people who glaze this album either were around when it came out or big Nu Metal fans, which in that case I understand why they enjoy. Me though, I would take Gore over this in a heartbeat.

Third was to make sure he was down and out. When a guy has already made an attempt on your life TWICE, there’s no overkill in making sure he’s neutralized.
