I got my hands on the unfinished "Eros" album demos and this surely feels like grabbing the Holy Grail. Several songs such as "Melanie", "Briana" and "Smile" feel finished, and the first of them was also played live several times before Chi died. "Trempest" is a banger. However I'm a bit disappointed at the overall style as I expected to have more math metal leanings, something that they grappled with when making "Saturday Night Wrist".

And there's also many songs that feel unfinished and could have a bit more meat around the bones. There also seems to be several songs that were demos for "Ohms", so this isn't strictly "Eros".

At times listening to all this feels like playing a leaked internal beta version of some game. Feels really weird to hear "Briana" in its entirety, as only short snippets of it were played when Deftones put studio diaries of "Eros" on YouTube.

I mean, I can understand that some of the tracks feel unfinished. Because, well, they were.

RIP Chi. You're missed.

before Chino died.

You mean Chi, not Chino. Don't play games with my heart.

Perkele! Sleep deprivation and writing are not a good match. A difference of two letters between those names doesn't help either.
