It dawned on me that the “jumbled mess” I had described earlier was most likely a product of my own reservations and opinion of what Deftones should be, rather than what they actually are as shown through the content they provide for us. The album is sequenced perfectly, with the 10 tracks complementing each other as it continues. “Ohms” is an album that gathers some of the best qualities of Deftones and brings them together into a wonderful package. It has been almost three years since the release of Ohms, and I have found myself pleasantly surprised with realizing what I was missing out on in that span of time.
The rest of the album, however, struck me as a jumbled mess of sound and recycled ideas from the iconic group.
Sure, I had enjoyed the first and self-titled single “Ohms” as the track fits perfectly within the boundaries of Deftones’ core sound with its overdriven guitar tone, blistering drums, and groovy bass rhythms topped by singer Chino Moreno’s signature vocal tone. Upon the release of the Deftones’ ninth studio album “Ohms,” I couldn’t help but feel a slight tinge of disappointment during my first listen. Album feels like a love letter to the band’s sound
