We will delve into the song, discussing our thoughts and opinions on various aspects such as the vocals, guitar riffs, lyrics, and overall appeal. So, let's get right into it and explore what "Bored" has to offer.

Choosing the Song - "Bored"
Out of the numerous suggestions received, "Bored" by Deftones stood out. Using a scientifical approach of "eeny meeny miny mo," we landed on this particular song. There was a feeling of anticipation and curiosity as we pressed play, eager to uncover what "Bored" had in store for us.
The Initial Thoughts
As the song began, we noticed an interesting beat and rhythm that caught our attention. The opening seconds had a certain charm to them, creating an initial air of intrigue. However, as the song progressed, we couldn't help but feel that something was missing. It was towards the end of the song that our hesitation became more apparent.
The Vocals and Mixing Issue
One aspect that stood out, or rather didn't stand out, was the vocal performance. The vocals seemed to blend into the background, making it difficult to discern the lyrics. There may have been a mixing issue that contributed to this problem, but regardless, it hindered our overall enjoyment of the song. It became a struggle to connect with the music on a deeper level, as the vocals lacked clarity.
Struggling with the Song
Despite the initial intrigue, "Bored" ultimately fell short of our expectations. The combination of the vocal issues and the lack of a compelling musical progression left us feeling disconnected. It seemed like the song was meant to showcase the band's talent but lacked substance or a central theme to hold onto.
The Good and the Bad
While there were elements we appreciated, such as the melodic screaming towards the end and the drumming, the overall composition felt lackluster. The guitar riff, although well-executed, failed to captivate us and appeared rather unremarkable. It seemed like a riff that could have been stumbled upon without much effort, ultimately not forming a solid foundation for the song.
The Pie Analogy
To put it in perspective, imagine eating a pie. If the ratio of apple to pastry is off, the entire experience becomes disappointing. Similarly, "Bored" felt like a pie with too much pastry and not enough apple. The lack of substance and depth made it difficult to fully appreciate the song's potential.
The Drumming and Guitar Riff
On a positive note, the drumming in "Bored" was outstanding. The intricate beats and rhythms added a layer of complexity to the song, showcasing the drummer's skill. However, even with the impressive drum work, it wasn't enough to elevate the overall experience.
Lack of Connection to the Lyrics
One of the essential aspects of any song is its ability to create a connection with the listener. Unfortunately, "Bored" lacked a sense of depth in its lyrics, leaving us searching for something to hold onto. The absence of a clear message or emotional resonance made it challenging to establish a meaningful connection with the song.
Conclusion
In conclusion, "Bored" by Deftones left us feeling underwhelmed. Despite our appreciation for the band as a whole, this particular song failed to capture our attention and create a lasting impact. It's important to note that these opinions are subjective, and others may find enjoyment in the song. However, from our perspective, "Bored" fell short in terms of musical composition, vocals, and emotional engagement.
