![]() ![]() It seems more original now not to go down that route as it seems the expected route to go down. ![]() It seems/seemed to be the thing to do with a lot of alternative bands - Smashing Pumpkins did it (Adore), Marilyn Manson did it,hell even Korn did it (See you on the Other Side) and when I listen to those and post Bends Radiohead albums they seem to have aged a lot more than the more organic albums. To me the whole experimenting with electronics has become a bit cliche. I liked Radiohead the best during the 'Pablo Honey' and 'The Bends' era so I don't rate the experimentation that followed all that highly and it's not a path I'd like to see Deftones go down. I can't listen to Thom's voice too much though - it's a bit too high and not that varied IMO in later albums, however I never tire of hearing Chino's voice - it really brings something special to the songs. Sorry Radiohead fans, Radiohead is a great band and Thom is a great singer. I think ATF is a far better album than OK Computer and I think Chino's selling the Tones short if he said he wished they could sound like Radiohead. I'm sure though a lot of the stuff they listen to influences them, not just Radiohead. I don't think it's a case of trying to copy or be like them, probably more of a subconscious, indirect thing. Quote from: pinkmaggit on Jul 30, 2011, 09:24 PM I'm sure I've heard them say that they like and listen to Radiohead so I'm sure some of their influence rubs off on them. If the quality of the rest of KOL is anything like Lotus Flower it should be a great album. It also made me realise how great Thom's voice is again so I think I'm going to give the recent albums I've missed a listen inc. To be honest I kind of lost interest in Radiohead for a while and started to long for the days of their earlier sounds but I gave Lotus Flower a listen the other day and really enjoyed it (the video is awesome too). Must be confirmation on the good taste of Deftones fans It's weird how many Radiohead fans there are on this forum - so many Deftones fans seem to be Radiohead fans too! Of course there are some similarities in their music but you can find similarities in a lot of different music (for e.g I could find similarities between Neil Young and Kurt Cobain if I wanted too) but their styles really are quite different so I wonder why that is? ![]() I'm sure I've heard them say that they like and listen to Radiohead so I'm sure some of their influence rubs off on them. ![]()
