Scrapped Deftones Album ‘Eros’ Reportedly Leaks

Deftones

Apparently it’s the year of lost albums? Reports are that Deftones’ scrapped Eros recordings have leaked online:

Songs leaked today, according to The PRP, feature the working titles Destiny, Brenda, Melanie, Smile, Margot, Candy, Sable, Electra, Trempest, Diamond and Briana.

The fact that the leaked recordings are not complete, finished songs is causing some ethical debates among Deftones fans, with a range of opinions being expressed as to whether or not it might be ‘appropriate’ to seek out and listen to the files, given the circumstances.

Bowling for Soup Part Ways With Bassist

Bowling for Soup

Bowling for Soup have parted ways with their bassist, Erik Chandler.

Erik has recently come to the decision, for personal reasons, that touring and being in a band full time has become too much for him. Together, Erik and the band have decided to part ways. This split is on good terms. We will always be Erik’s biggest fan and brother, and support him in his decisions and future endeavors. We also hope that our fans will support him and respect his decision and privacy in all of this as he enters the next chapter in his personal and professional life.

Rank It All! Or Did I Just Create a Monster?

Rank Everything

If there’s one thing we like to do around here, it’s rank things.

From our End of the Year lists to the countless albums/sports/food rankings in the forums, it’s just a tradition at this point. When the conversation dies down, break out a ranking.

The other night, I was lying in bed thinking about the “bias sorter” going around Tumblr in 2018. It originated, I believe, as a way for people to rank their favorite K-pop bands. I’d been using it for the past few years to start my end of the year album rankings. It’s an excellent way to review a list and decide what you like more: A or B. But the problem is that it’s a pain to use. You need to enter each item individually, click enter after each one, and then go through the ranking process. And after you’re done, there’s no good way to do it again without manually re-entering all those items. I started wondering if I could put something together that would let me input any size list of things I wanted, and then it could present them to me one at a time to pick from and give me a final ranking.
