wailing feels out of sync with the instrumentation, the cheesy electronic sounds in the intro to “Hearts/Wires” and “Xenon” are unnecessary and exemplify what is perhaps the most hated convention of the subgenre. The band sounds surprisingly sloppy and clichéd: on“Pittura Infamante” and “(L)MIRL,” Chino’s singing? a.k.a. This genre is almost singlehandedly the reason slightly older adults want to pretend the years 2000-2005ish never happened how any nu metal bands have endured this long is mystery even to me, and I often broadcast my appreciation for nu metal – mostly using the continued excellence of Deftones as the main support for my argument. Gore, however, is mostly a disappointment (again, to me, an over-critical listener of this subgenre).

Of course, most people with any real music taste would argue that the genre has been total shit since the turn of the millennium because of, oh let’s see, Limp Bizkit,Linkin Park, Disturbed (those vocals though), Korn (because white guys with dreads and kilts are supposedly edgy I guess), the entire soundtrack to the Daredevil movie starring Ben Affleck (LOL), the fact that the genre was overwhelmingly embraced by the “hardcore” Christian rock bands, and the fact that Rammstein was strangely popular in America ever. Like dead as in PLEASE STOP MAKING NU METAL SO THAT WE CAN JUST APPRECIATE THE SUBGENRE'S FORMER GREATNESS INSTEAD OF BEING DISAPPOINTED BY NEW RELEASES. If that last sentence means nothing to you, dear reader, but you enjoy “loud rock” (whatever the fuck that actually means, considering most rock is, in fact, loud), STOP READING NOW AND SKIP AHEAD TO THE RECOMMENDED TRACKS, which I do thoroughly enjoy and would even play on my own show had I one this semester. In other words, this is no White Pony, but it is still good enough to add. than I have for what we add to the radio station and promote for airplay.
I will preface my review of the actual album with this: as someone who 1) grew up on metal/loud rock and 2) is an avowed – yet critical – Deftones fan, I have higher personal expectations for Chino Moreno et al. You see we (meaning the music department and the general manager) just rehashed this conversation about how we should not write negative reviews… Yet, here we are.
