What Happened to You? You were eliminated. That's what happened to you. Booyakasha.
so far so good. now let's entomb entombed
tempest
swerve city MUST die... the worst opener ever... yea hate me...
gauze sucks
it's a damn shame WHTY went before Graphic Nature...
Leathers. Without a doubt.
Entombed should have been eliminated.
Still Tempest for me. Like I said in the last one, I skip Tempest every time but I still let Leathers play, so it's not burnout.
Entombed is one of my favorites, damn. Wouldn't mind if Graphic Nature went.
Graphic Nature is probably the most altogether 'Deftones of old' sounding song on here. Not just musically but Chino has his more unique vocal style on this song and there's no high notes. It's really cool and is great coming after Entombed.
i agree. didn't like GN at first but it's the one thats grown on me most.
It is going to get tougher from here. I have to wait to vote on this one..
By the way whats with all the Entombed hate? That is an epic track...
I don't hate Entombed at all. There is no bad song on the album, I don't even know if there's a weak one. It's just that one has to be picked and that one is the one that stands out the least right now.
Who won the DE eliminator?
your mom
bye bye swerve city...

Yep Royal defeated Prince in the Final...Still say Goon Squad will be the last track standing here...
dont get the swerve hate.
Fucking awesome song.
My favorite songs are Entombed, Graphic Nature, Swerve City, What Happened to You?, and Rosemary. I have a feeling that those first four are also going to be the first four eliminated. Proving once again how little I have in common with other Deftones fans.
No way will Rosemary be within the first four.
Swerve City. The only shitty song on the record for me. Poltergeist will probably win.
Dreams shouldn't have any votes. Its the greatest song of all time. Fuckers.

Man i would be unhappy :( if the opener was the shittiest song for me.
Glad its not. Sick track
:)
Again hear me now and believe me later...
Goon Squad is the last track standing...still cannot decide on my vote for this round, leaning towards Gauze..
Swerve City

And it's not about "hate", it's just which on you like the less... ;)
Nooo swerve. Como'n hang in there. Dont leave me...

Ah ah yeah I'm with you on this.
I voted Romantic Dreams. Worst second song in all their discography, can't believe it was placed there. Well, I can't believe it actually made it on the record in the first place so...
What's so bad about romantic dreams i know it's not some peoples favourite but surely it isn't that bad, plus it's pretty similar to the other KNY songs so i don't see how you can despise that one song so much and like the others
Gauze, just because. Then pretty shitty Swerve City.
Swerve City is awesome! I just can't understand the hate...
Swerve City for me is one of the few Deftones songs that doesn't even sound like a Deftones song. The lyrics are cringe worthy, the oh-a-woah-oh's make me want to puke and feel like a shitty generic pop radio song and the riff is boring as fuck. All the mystic shit (horses traveling through the air, playing around with her forces) is just so fucking lame to me. Sounds like Chino was intent on delivering absolutely zero legitimate emotion. The song feels like they're faking it and though I absolutely adore this record, I HATE this song. At least I like it better than the song Diamond Eyes though. Talk about a piece of shit song. Just sucks that the two songs I truly hate in the bands catalogue are the two most recent opening tracks. To my though the rest of Koi No Yokan is absolute gold though. Love every other track.

Lame intro riff. Bad lyrics. Cheesy chorus (melody, and lyrics). Verses are ok.

chino's melodies in graphic nature verses do sound alot like what he does in street carp. i don't mind, still dig it
Can't believe WHTY went first. Classic mistake. Also cant believe Prince made the final for DE. Worst song on that record. Oh well.
Also, I second that Poltergeist will win and I can't really take issue with that. Although I think Rosemary probably should.

Hahaha. Prince is still my favourite on that record. Different strokes I guess.

GRAPHIC NATURE.
So boring...
Tempest is a fucking piece of shit. Probably the worst track they've ever done, and mercilessly long to boot. Seeing it losing out to Entombed this round is probably skewing my perspective, though. ;)
Glad you guys are doing all the deciding for me. I'd have a pretty hard time picking between any of the tracks besides Leathers, so I can just sit here and keep voting for that.

You must not be thinking clearly. No sensible Deftones fan could put Tempest below a song like Pink Cellphone. Not only is it better, it is a great Deftones song.
And theis, Graphic Nature is more than meets the eye.
Oh, and everything about Romantic Dreams is great except the chorus which isn't that bad at all.
lol... Pink Cellphone doesn't count, as I consider it an interlude and not a song. Discarding it, I stand by my statement. There's nothing "classic Deftones" about Tempest... it's pure filler with no aggression, no melody, no charm or atmosphere... nothing. Lucky You is similar, but it's at least more unique (in the realm of rock music in general) and ends a lot faster.
BTW, I didn't think Graphic Nature was much different or better at first, but it's grown on me a lot. Tempest is so bad that I don't just skip it because I wore it out... I stopped listening to it the day after they posted it this summer as I'd already had enough.
On a different note, I must've slipped into some alternate reality because as I remember, just 2 weeks ago everyone was calling Entombed the album highlight when it first leaked. Now it's about to get knocked off in the first three picks? :o
luv them all
but Tempest must face the gallows
Tempest is the best song on the album.
ermm none? thats right haters...NONE deserve to go :P

GRAPHIC NATURE.
So boring...
Fuck its one of the most interesting songs theyv done. Such an amazing vibe from that one.
I love deftones fans :o
This is a tough one. I picked Leathers because I disliked it at first listen and after 1000+ listens later it still hasn't grown on me.
I must admit that none of the songs on the album has given me goosebumps yet. Gauze came close.
Swerve City.... Not impressed with it at all.
Definitely none on KNY. The only song in deftones history that has to be eliminated and buried six feet deep is mein.

Lmao ..mein is an amazing song imho ..i absolutely love it.. but oh well.. oh and i chose tempest.. i didnt ware it out its just that..theres really not much aggression ..love the guitar work but mehh.. and the chorus is ok .. and btw people Romantic Dreams is one of the best songs ive ever heard ^-^ and swerve is great as well .. hate to see it loose this round but oh well :3
fuck mein. in any case, this "hate the song" thing, gets old.
The lyrics for swerve are so sick.
A horse whisperer with schizophrenia. The oh's everyone hates, to me is like the strange distant voices, from the schizophrenic fucking up the horses.

sorry but the chorus is nothing against the verse! that groove with those vocals and especially the pre chorus riff combined with that simple but "on the spot" bassdrum pattern is one of the best things theyve ever done (groovewise).
I liked WHTY
I dislike of Entombed and Graphic Nature kinda suprise me.
Not my faves but solid tracks...
meh, Graphic Nature is one of the best songs on KNY. but I guess it goes above most peoples heads.
Yeah Graphic Nature is great some of my favourite KNY lyrics are on that song "I'm aware of the demons,That you've tucked away ,I like to watch you release them" good shit
"Swerve City", "Entombed", "Whatever Happened To You", and "Tempest" should have never made it past being joke songs in the rehearsal space.
swerve shitty is made to broader the fan base i think. not meant to be a die hard pleaser
I think Swerve was just made to be like an opener just short and up-beat, it does it's job well as an opener but not much more
it was meant to be track number 4
Yeah i know it wasn't originally the opener but it has the traits of a good opener and I think it opens the album well it would kill the flow of the album if it was further down

you do a lot of this
I said "like an opener" as in similar traits not "as an opener" there's a difference
just classic you though. it's like-
you: "times were bad in the band during eros, that's why there are rumors that the album is dark"
-no times were good in the band, they began to hang out and find their way back to each other''
you "that's what I meant. the music is dark because the music is a hobby of theirs, not reflecting their lives or anything. chino said this in a recent interview, so.."
i see stuff like this all the time
If you actually read those posts properly you would of seen I admitted i was once thought it was bad times but after seeing that interview was corrected
QuoteI always thought it was bad times aswell but Chino said recently in that front magazine interview that Eros is when they started doing the whole working together deal they made Diamond Eyes and KNY so fast
I've seen you on here as well and i know how much you love getting into it with people but your just not worth my time,so go get someone else to teach you the nuances of the English language and don't try start arguments until you have the reading comprehension to back them up

weak and desperate try to change focus.the eros example was just one i made up to show you how you act,but you're probably not even aware of how you are yourself.and you might want to check your grammar in a post where you're telling me about the language ^
My post was directly addressing yours, I simply discredited your example,I don't care about grammar this is the internet not an exam i would just like you to actually read my posts before trying to have a go at me.
I've seen many posts where you state things as facts. but when you are corrected by someone, you never admit you were wrong - instead you agree and say you always had that same view as the person who corrects you. although it's the opposite of what you first wrote.
like you would say "like linus is an offical deftones album"
-no, deftonesnz, it's not official, just a collection of songs - fan made.
"yeah i know it's fan-made, i was just talking about how wikipedia says it's offical, and it's laughable"
classic deftonesnz :)
I never said that either,Maybe sometimes i don't explain myself properly but i'm not purposely trying to lie i'm used to typing fast so i make mistakes
haha musings you devil
I'm keeping my vote on Graphic Nature. And I really enjoy this song, but it's my last favourite for now. Someday maybe it will be my 1st favourite. It happens with deftones' music.
Glad to see WHTY gone :D even though it's not a bad track at all.
It doesn't really seem to fit the album though, we get such an awesome run of songs with Gauze, Rosemary and Goon Squad and they just flow so beautifully into each other and then the oddity WHTY comes along and then just fizzles out.
That's my only criticism of KNY really, I really wish they had chosen a more epic song as the closer. So much effort to bring some extra atmosphere and emotion to the tracks with the intricate intros and outro's and then this song just slapped on at the end :(
My next vote goes to Entombed.
By no means is this a bad track, nor am I voting it off because it's a slow song, in fact I think it's a pretty good track and is integral to the feeling of the album
It's also not a case of me preferring if it weren't included on the album like I felt with Beauty School on DE.
For me Entombed has too much of a Thirty Seconds to Mars (a band I can't stand) feel to it and I don't like the way Chino sings in the chorus either, it almost sounds like he's trying to be Jared Leto!
There are some really nice details in the song but for me Xerces is an example of a slower Deftones track done right.
