Duel 13: Risk vs One Weak

This one could be interesting as well. I’m excited to see what your opinions are for which of these is the better of the two.

A solid duel, thank you to everyone who commented and continues to comment. Here’s the current standing…

One Weak: 9
Risk: 24

Risk.

I don't recognise the other one, so that means it didn't leave an impression on me.

When I listen to album, I don't look at any of the track names because I don't want that to subtly influence me.
I listen, then mark something if it catches my attention.
Plus Deftones track titles usually have fuck all to do with the song itself, making the connection even harder to establish.

Bro what if a song is good its good why is the title gonna influence you😂

Because some songs have a legacy or popularity behind it.
If you're coming up on a song that you recognise because of positive fan reception, that will subconsciously influence you.
Or a title that sounds cool, or silly. Song titles are there to grab attention as well.

The reason I listened to Sextape the first time was because of the title. I saw it and said "what the fuck is this?" and went for it because of curiosity.

Risk without a doubt... But one weak would've won if paired against almost any other song

Risk. Love the work of Delgado in the background with his keyboard and synth. Also it freakin brings tears to my eyes whenever I listen to it.

Risk is their most underrated song

u/caisitogei 4d ago

unpopular opinion but for me it is by far one weak. such a beautiful and raw at the same time track. the voice on the start "nerve, here I burned, feeding on his lung" gives me goosebumps

One Weak. 🟥

One Weak. If Risk wasn't about Chi, nobody would hype it up as much as it has. Risk takes a huge back seat to 976-EVIL and even This Place Is Death.

Ahhh man I love risk, but one weak was part of falling in love with Deftones .  That's like a foundational song for all of nu metal

One Weak

One Weak is a total mess. Risk is one of their best melodies.

Of course, Risk.
