A friend of mine in Sacramento messaged me the following information regarding the new album, this is what he has heard about it:
"The new album will have longer songs, think 6 minutes or more, guitar solos, even more synth/keys/fx from Frank, lyrically will be more straightforward rather than cryptic, there will be more complex song structures, more guitar from chino, and faster drums (more double bass). Chi got a 6 string bass he's using on most songs and a fretless 5 string. Steph is using a new custom 8 string baritone guitar. Chino is using a lot of FX on his guitar parts so it doesn't even really sound like guitar that much.
Songs are coming fast and the album might even be put out by the end of 2008"
bs
How trustable is this? I mean, your opinion...
Here's my question, since when they're on the writting process? Because I see all these "reviews" and I think it's too early to say that kind of thing... like "songs will be longer and more guitar solos"... It would be nice, but.. I don't know, I think it's too early to say that.
when did abe learn how to do double bass? I thought i read in an interview w/steph that abe doesn't practice so this would never be a possibility :-\
new album thread now!
I imagine this new album to be a metal/shoegaze feel to it.
I too have a friend in Sacramento....he told me that band has taken i new style going for the whole justin timberlake, britney feel....no guitar solos, no complex songs, no drums at all....only synth. Timberland has guest vocals on most of the album and chino only sings in one song.
...i mean my friend from sacramento told me so it must be true.........
Quotelyrically will be more straightforward rather than cryptic
I doubt that will ever happen...he has a style, i think he's gonna stick to it rather then sell out singing some shit pop lyrics.
Quoteand faster drums (more double bass)
I'm pretty sure abe doesn't play double bass at all...except for one or two songs....so i seriously doubt he'll start now.
pissed and pierced talks a lot less shit than most of the people on this board, so im more inclined to believe her
however, we have been here with the band many times before, so despite progress being made, i expect team sleep to put this on a backburner for longer than wanted

actually that all sounds really cool, but you got caught up in a lie
I'm not believing anything untill I read something that the band themselves officially put out.
Also, we may as well keep this as a new album thread.

...I also had a dream about the last album, but it didn't really mean a great deal.
http://www.sharinglungs.com/index.php?topic=10054.msg399392#msg399392
Actually, in hindsight... maybe it did.
Guitar solos, even MORE synth, even more straight forward lyrics (I didn't think they could get any more one dimensional than those of 'Rapture')... sounds shit already. Let me guess, absolutely nothing interesting whatsoever?
Here's a another guess;
there's going to be a blatant Godspeed You! Black Emperor influence to this - you can quote me, to go hand in hand with their Team Sleep-does-Mogwai Konami Code shite. I saw this coming as soon as Chino fucking mentioned GY!BE.
'I want to be just like you.
Then I'd be cool...'
Maybe not.
I'm beginning to think that the band that wrote Pony and the Ezrin shit is fucking dead.

Please, less songs from chino. I like his songwriting style, but I wish Steph had more prescence in the album.
This thread is getting me excited, but that first post sounds like utter bullshit.
Doesnt sound like the Deftones at all.
And end of 2008 is a LONG way away.
I'm more inclined to believe rumors, as his posts have be flawless as of late.
But still, I can't wait for more news and some new Deftones songs!!!!
Conceptual Album, please

my guess is "sol invicto" is getting a really sick metal drummer to let Stephen unleash. they're announcing a new member, & it's a drummer. so that's my guess
hah, check out Stef soloing, just radomly \m/

sweet
i had an apperition while running today that deftones would compile an extension of "one weak" for the upcoming album. like a one weak II. i think it would be tight, i know bands have redone or expanded on former songs before, and having one weak as a progressive epic (similar to pink maggit) would be tight! just thought i would share...you never know ::)
Maybe not.

yea, i like Abe's style just as it is. if he dabbles in double bass here & there that's cool, but hoepfully he'll never get to the point where he's doing it all the time
agreed, i like the hard snare and fills. it suits the tones in a way double bass wouldn't.
who else wants more original bsides, not just covers? ;D
I expect a good album
didnt chino said that he wasnt going to play any guitar?
he did, unfortunately

I have a feeling this album is going to be very catchy, easy melodies, and some shoegaze thrown in.
I hope its complex
im just glad there making an album. period. dunno i kinda had the feeling that they were going to split up or something after SNW.
no particular reason, just a suspicion.
oh and hi, by the way.
HEY!!!
oh and i wanted to add that combat is somewhere in my deftones top 5. def.
oh crap that last post was supposed to be in another thread. been away too long i guess :)
update http://deftonesinstudio.blogspot.com/
"We can't wait for you all to hear it" ME TOO!!!! :P :P :P
Chi's the man!
Maybe they'll spill and post stuff on myspace like snw.
entire leak is more likely

The band gets very lazy sometimes (some songs only have like 2 riffs in them and/or are pretty much rehashes of other songs). But most of the time they're brilliant.
By the way, Pink Cellphone was one of the best songs off of SNW.
New album in progress is good news.

wait. your saying that the band gets lazy? and you think pink cellphone is of the better tracks of SNW? that song didn't take much effort. all it is is just a beat over and over again. tbh, i thought the guest vox did nothing to the song, much like mein. but yeah the song gets a little ridiculous at the end, lol. most of the time i just skip it to go to combat for some real guud shit.

If Annie Hardy just voided the speaking bit toward the end, Pink Cellphone would have easily been a favorite; it's so fresh and what I think to be one of the most seductive songs on the album. I love listening to the instrumental version just because I love the beat. Ahhhh, but Combat is something else. That's a fucking gem.
Also, I've been told there are about 7 songs done (which was reiterated by the new blog), and that the album is almost certain to be released next fall. I'm really eager to hear what it'll sound like; I just hope nothing leaks until then.

PCP at least sounded different than any of their other songs. As much as the band says they try not to repeat themselves and try to to push the envelope, sometimes they don't live up to their standard.
You're right though, Combat was the best song on that album.
weakcure is right too though, if PCP didn't have that last part a lot more people would like it. I personally felt they should have had it as a secret little thing at the end of the album. It kind of messed up the flow with it in the middle of the cd.

Completely agree, and I wish when songs did leak, people wouldn't spread them like an STD (ha) because it makes it tough on the band. sigh. I guess we'll see.

I think Deftones have definitely evolved album to album. Now whether or not it's for the better, that's a matter of personal opinion, but I haven't been personally disappointed with the end product like I have been with other bands. What songs/albums do you think don't live up to their words? I'm not trying to corner you or anything, I'm just curious.
And I never thought about Pink Cellphone being like a hidden track - that would have been a great idea. I definitely agree it's an awkward jump when you're listening to the rest of SNW and that comes on.

I think they've definitely progressed but they keep saying they're going to get brainier ala Tool, Rush, etc. but they still haven't quite made that leap. Frankly, their biggest evolution of sound was ATF to WP. That was almost 8 years ago!
There have been a bunch of songs over the years that I felt could've been better if they had just thought about it a little more. It would take too long to write up a critique for every song so I'll just talk about some of my problems with SNW (excellent album overall 4.5/5).
They seem to just tack on these heavy bridges on a few songs (Cherry Waves, Kim Dracula, and Riviere). It was like they had these great ideas for the verse and chorus and when they got to the bridge they just had Steph play a few notes on his 7-string and called it a day. Maybe if just one of the songs went like that I'd be ok with it, but when there was three songs like that it just made me feel like they were lazy.
Mein and Xerces are b-side material. Even though it's a good song, Mein just isn't up to par with the rest of the song ideas. I'll never understand everyone's obsession with Xerces. I love Team Sleep, but I never thought this song was that great for either band.
I love Cherry Waves but it will always bother me that there's a Team Sleep song with the exact same riff in it.
My final critique, which really doesn't have anything to do with the band, is that the album just doesn't seem to be recorded as well as the other albums. No matter what kind of stereo I play the album on, it doesn't have the kick the other cds do.

yep lol. the first time i was listening to SNW, after Rats X3 ended, some team sleep-esque song started playing on my cans and for me, it threw off the album just a lil bit. to this day, i still don't enjoy that song that much.
but yeah the last part of pink cellphone would have been good as a reprise hidden track. but then again, imagine hearing this after reivière!
Mein is a great song..for some reason i enjoy listening to that more than cherry waves.i love snw but what i regret is that a lot of the album has chino's ideas on it. its not a bad thing but i wish the band brought more of their ideas to the table. im happy with the song steph wrote. i wish he didnt "step down" from the writin process like he said he did. whats the point of bein in the band then if u don't want to contribute..and gladly chino jumped the boat cause if he didnt come back with fresh ideas and motivation to rewrite his parts and some songs and had those remade demos made their way to the final cut, this album would have sucked.

yeah we know
just a thought, but wouldnt brian wilson be great as a producer for a song or two? ive always dug the way he layered songs (even if they all sound like beach boys songs) and would love to see what he could do with the tones
brian wilson is fantastic, i dont want to know what kind of melodies he have inside his head. saw him live. absolutly brilliant.
k, no news whatsoever on this album in a month. delayed obviously

:o THATS A CHICK!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Deftones Chino posted on my space "You've Seen The Butc
On January 14th, Chino posted an instrumental electronic beat that sounds similar to Team Sleep titled "You've Seen The Butcher" on the Deftones mypace and announced in a bulletin that the album would be called "Eros".

stop with that shit, please....
eros does not look a strong name...
I dont know man to be honest I dont care...cos Lovers would be the name of the S/T and I though it wouldnt fit propely with the band...
They will change the name, I bet.
i still dont know where chino wrote that...i searched in myspace, and didnt saw anything.
and yeah, i think its not the album name, but if it´s true, they will change.
hoping it aint Eros cos he did minerva, bot otherwise actually dont mind anymore. aslong as its dark, moody and heavy. should be good
"In Greek mythology, Eros was the primordial god of lust, love, and intercourse; he was also worshipped as a fertility deity. His name is the root of words such as erotic. In some myths, he was the son of the deities Aphrodite and Ares. Like Dionysus, he was sometimes referred to as Eleutherios, "the liberator". His Roman equivalent was Cupid, "desire", also known as Amor, "love"."
Hmm...that image in the official web site and myspace...maybe makes some sense now...
I kinda like the title, it's unusual, just like their previous album titles

(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/atomicforest/coolrunnings.jpg)They'll Change It To "Bath Time"! ;D
The First Single Off The Album Will Have A Video Of Chino Singing In The Bath Wearing His Signature Socks And Little Rubber Duckies Will Be Singing Along In The Chorus!

why does chino's heart on their website blink?
noooooooo, is he having cardiac problems? :(
So I started tripping out on their website and I was looking at the hearts. I saw faces in the hearts. They all kinda intertwined. Here are the first two I saw:

I saw that to, only for a moment, then i lost focus. Something tells me there is more to this than meets the eye.
Doesen't anyone find it weird that on the deftones website, behind the hearts, the backround is that of the Virgin Mary and it looks like she is weilding the same object on the sword through the heart?
This album i believe will be Deftones best, i believe that in some way it will be like White Pony, but an influence of S/T.
Deftones are no Tool, NIN or Radiohead...
Nothing hidden there I'm sure, the guys are waaaaaaaaaaay too lazy to come up with something like that...

Agreed that would be good! All around a more solid album I hope.
i bet this will be a dual disc when it comes out, most prob with a short dvd. maybe even a few b-sides
You reckon? That would be a treat-a-plenty...
Oh..dual disc. That will be sweet. I would like two discs, 6/7 songs in each, like...separating the album in two.
the dvd...i guess not. They have to release a dvd live or something. Good shit. The first real dvd by the band.Interviews, footage, etc..
oh that idea of two discs...
Quote from: White Wrist on Jan 21, 2008, 05:20 PM
Oh..dual disc. That will be sweet. I would like two discs, 6/7 songs in each, like...separating the album in two.
and they will have equal length so we could listen to it as "combined"
shit, it's not for Deftones, they are not enough experimental band to do that
or a special edition- "limited time only" thing sounds more feasable. something with itunes even. who knows they might just pull a radiohead move, but they are not as well off as them so i dunno
The idea of two discs, it will be cool. They need to change something, i guess. Maybe they can try it.

i know what you mean, they do get pretty experimental, but i wish they would go all out like with some straight instrumental, short, filler tracks in between full length songs, frank could pull out some greatness! thats the thing abt SNW was some of the songs could have never transgressed into the next with that ethereal ease
QuoteOh..dual disc. That will be sweet. I would like two discs, 6/7 songs in each, like...separating the album in two
Like The Fragile - it could be great!
QuoteMaybe they can try it.
I hope bigger songs, like pink maggit. I really hope this.
And some instrumental stuff with Frank giving his best.
And yeah, better lyrics. Chino can take some time to wright something new, fresh, and without "EARTH" in the lyrics.

I don't care how it sounds, I just want Deftones to tour by 2009, I'm dying to see them live again!
Tour in Hong Kong yes... Else, if fucking costs me an arm an a leg to see them... Damnit

blasphemous yet entertaining :)
scary...
deftones really are a good band
because i thought self titled was pure garbage. then like 4 years later. it might be my favorite album. its cool that there music can do that with you
but im guessing the new album will be fun. because they probably wont have much stress making it.. SNW was when they were forcing things to flow.. but i must admit. i like that album. even though most of you dont like it overall. i do. i think it flows great
It should be good. They don't seem to have session like this since WP...
I am patiently waiting... I think it will be good, I enjoy (most of) SNW, but I don't wanna get my expectations up too high
And tarkill - That image was both funny and disturbing... didn't see that coming :o
Quote from: theshadeisatool on Jan 31, 2008, 01:59 AM

yeah good signs i guess...
not enough news about this album. all we know is it's "weird" Stef's writng all the guitar, & he's doing different things that have Chino excited(but we aren't told what)
i wonder how many songs they have done now, or if they've hit the huge roadblock i'm expecting them to hit that delays the album into 09
I don't know what to expect for guitar sound. SNW sounded almost too varied in the type of guitar song to song, almost all over the place (probably on a count of Chino writing a lot of the guitar work..). I hope this is varied in texture but more of a consolidated sound? Anyone with me?
Well I would like to hear some more songs like "Lovers"; "Kimdracula" or "Needles and Pins" - heavy guitar, great vocals and nice mood. If it goes to something "light" then songs like "anniversary of an uninteresting event" or "Fireal" - great atmosphere. And I would love to hear some instrumental - if not one long, then some short ones between the songs to create some kind of "flow". So please please please - Let me get what I want...a Depeche Mode cover : ).

I can't wait. Deftones are one of the few bands that have been consistent with good albums for their entire career.
this whole no news whatsoever thing is getting really boring
Yeah, a studio update would be clutch.
How do you guys feel about the 'Tones producing the album themselves? Good or bad?

100% deftones = 100% good
I think that...with a producer, the final result is better. Maybe Terry Date, again. I think it´s cool to have another point of view, outside the band.
But not like in the last album. They should do it in group.

That's exactly what I thought and came on here to say. plus they've got Scott Olsen, who's a good engineer no? This sounds almost too good to be true, but I'm glad it is...
it seems like, they are filling the blanks in a good way. Terry Date is a great producer and a friend, also Scott (i don t know him) is the engineer of WP (my fav record). So...maybe we can have here a new masterpiece.

holy shit on Stephs new guitar.. Probably had ESP hook up the 8-string because of his Influence from Meshugga.. this shall be intresting... That low fuckin guitar.. on new deftones album.. may result in a new perspective of deftones sound.. but I can tell from chinos old lyrics they are so metaphorical and have concept if you research the word "Eros" from the tentative new Album title see what you get.. and let your mind do the rest... google that shit.. just trying to put some brainstorming out there for the new material.. peace

(http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/images/artists/gmichael/gm_gallery4.jpg)
they should update the blog more often.
We want more news!
No shit
eight strings will be a force
Definitely, hope it'll be more brutal in places. I like the fact Chino said it was going to be quicker/faster. Sounds promising.
Anyone got any news?
naaa here... pretty dry.
i remember hearing a good while back that abe was experimenting with the double bass..
i thik that would be nifty and most unorthodox..
i also am getting the vibe that this album will be fast like atf but more diverse like wp.
i like a slow deftones tune here and there but my favorite songs of theirs are pretty "driven".
as far as brutal goes i dont really care...
brutal to me is like dark and hard.
and fast is just fast is fast...
songs like feiticiera, street carp, lhabia, dai the flu, hite, birthmark, lifter, (and others not mentioned) are straight up my gully cuz they are fast with rad reakdowns and not too damn droney or dark... im passed all that gloomy stuff im a happy guy now. i need some upbeat stuff fo realz....
bless our boys. (make us proud)
(again)
so honest
I just hope they don't make yet another crappy video.
i believe they will
i'd suggest live video with studio sound.
It's neutral version. not bad and not good, in deftones case it's very good

i think they just dont think about the computer much, they have lives unlike most of us die hard internet junkies
hahahahaha, so true. I think they know how to use pc's perfectly, just most of the times they have something better to do. Like recording an album

lolz 8)
computers/internet have become the new wave enterprise for the future of music - "They need to make time for it if they dont want to get left behind"
im not complaining. im satisfied with what we have recieved, but they should get with the program. shit give us teasers like most bands do on myspace n shiz, like dredg putting up a clip to a song... or like thrice with the video series of their recording process. there is many things they "themselves" can do to reach the current/ and create new fans...
"try" -the greatest virtue.
bless.

Good point. So far they have created a blog. That's a good first step.
at least they should make more updates.The fans are waiting. We want to know things, how are the recording process, the band, etc...
well, the reason of no updates is just cuz they have no news. and they don't want to spam.

nice to know that they started recording
Thats cool they started recording already, and I'm actually glad to hear from one of the other members. They should just take turns posting to the blog. i thought thats what they were going to do in the first place... from the looks of deftones.com
Sounds good
One band that they could learn from is Deerhunter. They post pictures, music that the singer creates in his other band Atlas Sound [has posted so many demos and EPs its sick], demos, rants, etc. Check it out if you like good music.

28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds.
it had to be 28 days huh
It's true they don't use the internet to it's full potential I guess. That's kind of strange for a band who were quite ahead of all that stuff with the WP promotion and shit. The House Party and stuff like that were almost pioneering really.
Seriously. including there ever changing website with footage of them recording, pictures, etc. They were ahead of the time, now theyr eplaying catchup!
i hope EROS have..some good lyrics. The majority of SNW´s lyrics are "horrible"
nah, the lyrics were fine, i dont see how they could be considered horrible. disturbed, or nickelback, papa roach, trapt, staind, etc, now that's horrible lyrics. Chino doesnt do horrible lyrics

Chinos lyrics on SNW were actually a big dissapointment for me. The singing and the screames are as good as always but as being said the lyrical content is nowhere near as good as on other records.
Surely the singing is progressively worse with each record? I still love his voice but SNW has been the worse so far vocally.
Quote from: ToneDef on May 26, 2008, 08:07 PM

That's because the guy refuses to take care of his voice.

I'd agree with this... and even with that said. Rats! is teh awesomeness. :)
I agree, Chino's voice is my biggest problem with Deftones newer stuff. he still sounds amazing on some songs on SNW, but he's completely lost his ability to scream well. and his live performances only seem to get worse.
Agree with all responses.
I still love his voice. It just ain't as great as it was.
Some songs though, on s/t especially, would maybe not have sounded as great previously. I couldn't imagine Hexagram with the younger sounding Chino. So it's not all bad.
Fine wine and all that shit.

i hear you but screaming and partying every fuckin night takes its toll I used to have one of the sickest screams then i went on a bit of a drinking binge spirits an all now my scream aint what it used to be :( still belt out some decent growls like but not near as good as it used to be so theres your answer plus its not really proper singin i thuink thats a reason why he didnt do as much on SNW to give himself a break rest his voice like...
His voice definitely is strained on the later records or more high pitched/tensed. Maybe he outhgt to go James Hetfield/more bluesy lol.
i dont think that his voice is that bad. i remember seeing some youtube videos, form a gig in last south american tour, while he sings in xerces, everything is perfect.
maybe the sream is less, or less intense, but yeah, he should take care of his voice.
i am dying for more updtades at the blog.
heh, the blog's dead...
any date on the album release, lads? i don't want to google for it...

Yeah, for sure everyone knows
why his voice isn't all it was. He could have taken better care of it for sure. But it's just a bit sad sometimes, you know?
he's looking better recently. he's lost a good bit of weight.
stop the smoking though man, it will MURDER you.
choose life, chino.

I dunno, they actually are recording so... who knows...
I'll put my money on before february 2009
i'll guess the new deftones album comes out by. today. of next year.
1 full year sounds about right
It's gonna come this year.
Hopefuly. I'll wait paciently tho
this year. this year. show us that...things are diff, band!
i'm anxious about the new record
i hope it comes out b4 january or i may not be able to get it!!

I sure hope not ! A new Deftones album sounds good right about now.
i want my new deftones album!
i know. im sensing it will have a great summer vibe to it, fast, and sexy, and anxious... like summer lust.... MMMmmmmmm... i can nearly taste the new tunes. i walk around and imagine whole songs, how they will sound; in riffs, drumming, singing, FRANK, and voice... i actually make up my own in the process... i need this. im looking for conceptual (unlike snw) and more experimental with song structure and tempo/rhythm stuff, and some of that good ole "fuck you i hope you die!" agression we all love so much :)
^^ now that vibe would be a good album, burning and heavy
I hope it has good cover art, though it sounds a bit trivial I know...
i understand. i want a good album art work too, it makes us to get into the album even deeper

yeah man, same here. I also hope it has a kickass art work, Deftones is the only band (well also Tool but that's different) which I really look forward to the whole package (music/artwork). Let's see what they have prepared for us, I'm anxious.
i'm looking forward to hearing what Stephen is gonna do with that 8 string guitar on this album

maybe, invent the new great guitar song of our time....you never know, really... we may be staring down the barrel of a new stairway to heaven or something of that not so immediate nature.. there are things he can do(outside of his normal style), though he chooses not to, but i sense some "choice" material on this new album... i sense great things, even more so than snw.
I kind of hope that the new albums production has this lofi/garage rock sound to it. But heavy as fuck and totally psychedlic. Something reminiscent to Portisheads new album.
The new album will be great. A lot of the complaining about SNW isn't very surprising since we have all heard what strife was occurring in the band (and with Chino in particular), but despite that I thought it was a great effort. Lots of great songs. There are a lot of great songs and I especially like the vocal production, although I agree with an early post in this thread that it doesn't "kick" as much. I think it's the mix, the drums should be more in the forefront. Now that the boys are back together and feeling good, we'll see something special. Remember when WP came out. The first time you heard Digital Bath or Elite? Prepare for a rebirth, people. These dudes haven't been spinning their wheels. Can't wait to see 'em live again. Long live the 'tones!!

if memory serves, there was a similar site for SNW. and probably for s/t as well. there's a guy (who at least used to be a member on here) who creates all these Deftones sites and passes them off as official as if he knew something the rest of us don't. and as far as I know, he doesn't. he's just a little bit special....

Yea I remember saturdaynightwrist.com if that's what you're thinking of? I was one of the first members to join there before it was like invitation only and if I remember properly, it was a guy on there who first got hold of SNW and the demos :]
i remember the snw website too... i'm just surprised because the artwork's pretty good... i think... must've taken the guy some time to make that
welll not tooo long till the album comes out..i hope no one jumped boat this time...

dude, its deftones. anemic has been around long enough to know its not coming out this year.
considering they haven't even recorded the whole thing yet, there's no way they'll finish it in time. hell, did they even start recording yet?
the only one who knows doesnt REALLY know
it'll be out in july 2009, if we're damn lucky
you know them, something will delay them. i refuse to fall for it again
Supposedly they're working at the same pace as ATF which means it could definitely be out this year. If this is true I'm guessing late Fall or early Winter.

That "Trempest" song sounds nice.

new article on ultimate guitar: http://ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/deftones_eros_album_details.html
can someone up trempest??
Umm, it's not out yet. They are still working on it.
hmmm figured it was a demo somewhere guess not mybad
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1589683/20080619/id_0.jhtml
The Deftones are hard at work on their next album, which one source close to the band told Metal File "sounds nothing like what they've done in the past." Eros, which could be out before 2008 expires, will, according to bassist Chi Cheng, be "heavy as f--- with a sh--load of groove. ... I always say this sh--, but I truly believe this album to be well worth the wait and appreciate all your support and kind loyalty." ...
from ultimate-guitar.com
http://ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/deftones_eros_album_details.html
QuoteCalifornian experimental metallers Deftones have revealed more about their new studio LP, working title Eros.
As reported here, work on the band's sixth album began in April. Now bass player Chi Cheng has added more details on the progress made:
"We've been locked into the studio, as you know, and are finishing the drum tracks on a song tentatively called 'Trempest'. It's heavy as fuck with a shitload of groove and even though it's been driving me crazy as it runs through my insomniatic brain, I am really excited! I always say this shit, but I truly believe this album to be well worth the wait and appreciate all your support and kind loyalty.
"The idea of finishing the album and getting out to play in front of y'all is a nice light at the end of my tunnel. We intend to tour extensively so don't fret."
Vocalist Chino Moreno has also spoken about the LP, to Kerrang! magazine:
"We've certainly taken our time on the last few records but this one has happened very quickly. We got off tour and took a month off. Then we went into the studio and wrote a lot of music very quickly... The most important thing we had to do was to break our habits and change the way we've done things for the last few years."
Eros, if it's called that, is due for release in the autumn.
Thanks for the report to DrownedInSound.com.
Why is everyone copying waht chi wrote in the blog? Damn, they could at least give its proper credit.
as long as i can still pop lock krunk style in my room to the new album i'll be happy.
man, i hate it when magazines and online news articles quote the same old "we've taken our time with this record and things have happened differently in the past" bit... seriously...
and where did you guys hear the new track?
lol at hearing the new track.
its like...the leak fever.

Someone should find them on full tilt poker and harass them about the new album.
i can see any of the guys saying
"wtf i'm trying to win some fake cash u douche bag"
i can tell this album is starting to take forever, just like everything WP & on
didn't the first two albums take 8 years?
nah adrenaline came out, then 2 years later ATF.
i heard it took em 4 months to write, 4 months to record ATF
i thinks thats the fastest album
damn, the official board had been down for 2 weeks now.

Yeah, it would be only right that theyre just too damn busy with the making of the album to post blogs all the time.

hah i'd like to believe that, but hell no i dont, no for a second. lolz
i can only imagine how long Chino is gonna take to record his voacls this time....
i prefer waiting... i don't want to listen to a quickly-put-out album with bad guitar riffs and out-of-place soundscaping... not to mention the important things like the kick the mixing person can put in if he has enough time to fiddle around with the mix.
man, we know so little about this album. are all the songs even done? meaning Chino has lyrics for them as well? we have no clue. like, uhhhh.... if we could ever find this stuff out, that would be terrific... yeaaahhhh...
truthfully though, with the blogs, they're updating it WAY more than i ever thought they would. they just arent telling us much of anything
actually, lyrics are never done till they're recorded... for any band (except, maybe tool)
they usually get changed halfway into recording

i meant, i wonder if these songs have lyrics. i know he hasnt recorded them yet, but if he doesnt have any lyrics fror these tunes yet, this album wont be out until this time next year at the earliest i bet. so that's why i'm wondering if these songs are done(jam session wise, not recorded wise), lyrics & all
i don't know... they aren't posting anything about the recording process... what's the blog up for?!
To talk about online poker.. duh.
i give this album 0% chance of coming out in 2008. not that i thought for 1 second it would, but now it's seems very obvious
we all knew it deep down though
I still think it'll be out '08.. Trust me..
i will not trust you :)
i trust him :)
No, not 08
I believe 08!
eh..i dont know they only have like 3 or 4 months to make the fall...im thinkin maybe febuary...but there is a chance chino worked on his vocals during the whole pre studio writing...which i think there is a good chance he did seeing how he talked about taking the ATF approach to writing this album .....but i guess we will see....i hope they dont rush it though.....

not really, the album still needs to be mixed/mastered & the whole mass production thing, which all takes forever(like 4 months). and that's all just if the album is 100% done, which i doubt it's even close
it's getting down to the wire, for real. if we dont hear this album is done & about to be mixed/mastered by mid aug, then i bet it wont hit stores this year. (i bet that anyway though)

yeah, i also noticed it didn't say "Deftones - Eros"
And man!! Eros sucks as title
they havent called it eros in a while either
my guess is it will be called eros, but who knows
call it Lovers, and put Buffalo & fucking Diamonds on it!
yeah im not a big fan of the EROS title either.. sounds a bit ..Micheal Bolton-esque. that shit just generates images of Fabio into my head.
or maybe im just not cmofortable with my sexuality haha
no seriously if they DO change the title, i hope they change it into something rad. and vague. something that creates speculation among us fans, like white pony, for instance ( referring to the fact that the title in theory has a number of explanations)
haha i cant believe i said RAD.
oh and hey, whats up people?
oh and also, i cant wait for the 'extensive touring' part.. id love to go see the tones again. yay!
If they do change the album title, I think they should go with "You've Seen The Butcher"...and then the album cover could just be a bloody butcher knife sitting on a dirty counter.
"seaching the machine may reveal what you do not want to know"
love that quote
they should just change the name. i mean, having naked ladies on you cover and being a fat chongo isnt cool. but naming your album after a sex god and still be fat chongo is way out of line.

I don't think it's gonna be out til early next year....Though I would be so freakin happy if it came out this year. I just wanna hear some new tracks godammit!!!!!
I dunno... if mixing is starting next month then I guess there is a chance it'll drop by the end of the year.

I'm going to predict that they'll release a first single by September.
You reckon?
I guess if they're mixing already it could happen if they start with whatever song they're gonna release as the first single.
For some reason, I'm much more excited about Eros than I was SNW.
they definitely play something new at that fest in phoenix
i'm sure they're planning a winter tour to promote. cant hardly wait.

that was a sad day... but yeah, the rest of the album changed my mind. i think i'm really excited because they seem to be pretty confident about the material they're putting out... best deftones work ever? yes please :)

I don't know if anyone already said this. But before, everyone thought that SNW was going to be called "lovers" and released on feb 14th. So, I wouldn't get your hopes up
lovers was the name of s/t for a while, not SNW
i do remember rumors of the feb 14th release of lovers
heh, so much for sticking to dates...

Yup. Thats why a b-side to Hexagram is called Lovers.
yeah, now that I think about it. There is no way that it could have been SNW. That was during my transition period between Cali and Japan and i wasn't posting on message boards then. Wow, I really am loosing my mind.

Their record label, as I DJ I have a contact there who sends me stuff and i'm a gobby confident bastard who also just phones up and asks them stupid music related questions. Out of all the major labels, Warner have the best staff.
well i believe its not comming out till january. It could all be tracked and finished by oct or nov and it still wouldnt come out till '09. Universal will not let a Hard Rock/metal album be released during the thanksgiving and christmas seasons. Thats just marketing. So Deftones '09.
january or february is a good bet. i was wondering why the flyers i got said new album: winter and not new album: winter 08

And they could fart on record for an hour and people will still buy it 'because it's Metallica'.
lol, i thought thats pretty much what theyve been doing. that and taking a shit on a reel and releasing it
Quote from: Deftones86 on Aug 27, 2008, 07:11 PM
Universal will not let a Hard Rock/metal album be released during the thanksgiving and christmas seasons. Thats just marketing. So Deftones '09.
i don't think anyone cares... that's what's so awesome about deftones

just their new album?
hopefully they're done mixing, & getting ready to master
my guess is it'll be mastered & done by the end of Oct
we need more updates.
Thank God it's September. Updates and two shows, which possibly means new material. We're getting closer.
my guess early 09. im going to the phoenix show and im gonna videotape all of it! hopefully we get some new shit

i don't think i want to listen to the songs live before i hear them off a cd or something
I'm still doubtful we're gonna get the album this year... just sayin'.
oh hell no we wont get it in 2008. but this album has a real good chance to be the quickest they've made since ATF
I say December 23, 2008
I'm guessing that leaks will be available from mid November and I know that the promo's will be going out mid December.

Chino posted a new blog.
~MASTERMIND~ VOL. X
Mixing in seattle. Listening to this ( http://www.sendspace.com/file/6hwrb6 ). Enjoy. -Chino.
which is the tracklist? ???
well they're mixing, i was hoping they would be done mixing by now, but it shouldnt take too much longer. still on track to be the quickest release since ATF
they are alive!
yay! hell yeah!
and the album is done basically, which means Chino actually wrote/recorded lyrics already. wow, i must say i'm impressed

I'm listening to that right now. :) thanks
We Own The Sky is so heavenly. Frank posted that one on his blog.
And I'm stoked about the news.
I'm bored about the news because it isn't really news. Wow, so they're mixing, tell me something I didn't already figure and kind of expect to be done by now. And as far as the music that was posted, what's the point? If the songs for Eros are already done I don't see why anyone would give a shit about it..
well they'll most likely play a new song live here in about 2 weeks, so that'll be interesting

The new image on the Deftones.com front page looks beautiful, it's pretty much the visual style that I know them for, stuff like the booklets for Adrenaline and S/T.
what new image?
has anyone actually done the puzzles on deftoneseros.com? Or is that some fake shit?
Fake shit.

The promo posters I have just say New Album Winter not 2008 so i guess this means winter of '09...yep sounds about right.
winter starts in the end of december...
maybe one new song in december.the album in jan.
The album should be out in the UK in Jan, no tracks have been completed yet and they will tour Europe in early 2009. Secret London shows are not known as yet.
well I'm just a doubter because i'm hoping they will surprise me and get it out before '09 but all hope is gone i think, and they are mixing it right now soo umm the songs are completed and well the album is going to drop in the US before The UK, and where do you people get this from? i mean short of someone here being close to the production of this record, all this shit all of you say is pulled out your asses so yeah it looks and smells like shit to me... sooo maybe it will be out by the time Obama is inaugurated...
Anyway Vote For Bahlock all drama
this just in from my ass!
chino says the new album is being mixed.
http://www.sharinglungs.com/index.php/topic,14203.80.html
but then again it is just chino in my ass

Ok so I guess you mean none of the songs are mixed? because if they are mixing the songs are complete... you dont just go write half of the songs and then mix those, then the other half and mix those. Thats just not how its done.

sarcasm typed on a computer screen isnt always easily to pick up on
true, but im sure everyone knows this album is coming together alot faster than the previous two. And i really hope that they are not just doing this because the fans want it out fast, but history has shown that Deftones dont need alot of time to make a bomb ass recored(Around the fur). I would also say Adreniline But that record was out fast because most of those songs have been around for awhile prior to them walking into the studio. Another thing i find interesting is that they are recording in thier own studio, to off set big time studio costs, yet they recored this one faster than almost any other, but as stef said they are recording on their time on their dime. so i hope this proscess is something they have learned from. Anyway sorry for the computer screen sarcasm.
'We're trying to plan something where we'll play five or six nights in a couple of cities; each night will be dedicated to one of our records and we will play it in its entirety,'' reveals frontman Chino Moreno. ''That would be special for us and a special anniversary thing for the fans, so we'll see what happens. It's definitely a party, and also a celebration of all the work we've done over the years.'

i really really doubt they'll play white pony, s/t & snw in full
why not? Theyv done it before.
I hope they do that if they come to Mexico.
they should come to finland some year
they should finish the record.
then they should tour the world twice!
yes

Hi,
I chatted with Jeff Irwin (Will Haven) last night at their Paris show and he told me that Eros wouldn't be out before spring. The mixing has started, but without the band: Terry Date is doing it alone in Seattle. Probably a good thing, then the album won't be pushed back again. Hopefully.

Yeah. I expect it to come out by the end of this year or at least Jan of 09. I hope they reveal the album art and lead single in late October or in November. Glad that Terry is mixing it though. He is soo good.

i figure we'll know the release date by late nov. if we dont by then, it's gonna be a long ass time before it drops
Yeah I hope so.
To be 100% accurate, Terry Date sends the mixes to the band and then they send him feedback.
why didn't they just started touring on month later, so they could mix all the shit before tour?
cuz they are deftones, they don't give a shit about that...
they just want to make more money by touring asap :D

From their blog:
After Spaceland, the band headed north to Ventura and played to a sold out crowd at the Majestic Ventura Theatre. Both shows marked the first time Deftones played live since beginning work on next year's Eros, and gave fans their first taste of new Deftones music. Here's a few shots from the show:
The band completed this short run of dates with an appearance at the KUPD End of Summer Scorcher in Peoria, AZ. They've since returned home to put the final touches on what's sure to be their best effort yet.

Slightly off topic, but it's a shame you missed the 'don. I saw them in Manchester like 5 days before Deftones. That was a good week :]
EROS!!!!!!!!
Where are you?
LOL!! ;D
I am going to be positive and think it will come out in January.

after waiting for snw for so long, even march doesnt seem that long. i wonder what the real reason for this album coming out so quickly is. maybe theyre on their last album and the label wants to drop them?
beware ...eros is looking at us...
maybe its just me but even at march the wait seemed short :D

A friend of mine in Sacramento messaged me the following information regarding the new album, this is what he has heard about it:
"The new album will have longer songs, think 6 minutes or more, guitar solos, even more synth/keys/fx from Frank, lyrically will be more straightforward rather than cryptic, there will be more complex song structures, more guitar from chino, and faster drums (more double bass). Chi got a 6 string bass he's using on most songs and a fretless 5 string. Steph is using a new custom 8 string baritone guitar. Chino is using a lot of FX on his guitar parts so it doesn't even really sound like guitar that much.
Songs are coming fast and the album might even be put out by the end of 2008"
guitart solos...OK
even more synth/keys/fx from Frank.....GAY...REALLY REALLY REALLY GAY.REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLLLLLY GAY.
lyrically will be more straightforward rather than cryptic...WELL WAIT AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT..
more guitar from chino...LETS LEAVE THE GUITAR TO STEPH.
faster drums (more double bass). ...THAT WOULD BE DOPE..
Songs are coming fast and the album might even be put out by the end of 2008" HIGHLY PHUCKIN DOUBT THAT..

guitart solos...OK
even more synth/keys/fx from Frank.....GAY...REALLY REALLY REALLY GAY.REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLLLLLY GAY.
lyrically will be more straightforward rather than cryptic...WELL WAIT AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT..
more guitar from chino...LETS LEAVE THE GUITAR TO STEPH.
faster drums (more double bass). ...THAT WOULD BE DOPE..
Songs are coming fast and the album might even be put out by the end of 2008" HIGHLY PHUCKIN DOUBT THAT..
ALL N ALL SOUNDS LIKE BS TO ME!

A friend of mine in Sacramento messaged me the following information regarding the new album, this is what he has heard about it:
"The new album will have longer songs, think 6 minutes or more, guitar solos, even more synth/keys/fx from Frank, lyrically will be more straightforward rather than cryptic, there will be more complex song structures, more guitar from chino, and faster drums (more double bass). Chi got a 6 string bass he's using on most songs and a fretless 5 string. Steph is using a new custom 8 string baritone guitar. Chino is using a lot of FX on his guitar parts so it doesn't even really sound like guitar that much.

no way, i think the double pedal would be awesome. i dont mean in that machine gun death metal way, but for fills it would be teh shite
i was drunk when i wrote that i dont care abe can play what he wants, the mans a legend
Abe uses a double bass pedal and he uses it for fills. you hear those really quick bass drum beats before the snare, in for example Dai The Flu? that's him using a double pedal. it can be done without one, but it is a lot easier with one and he's said that he has spoiled himself a bit with it.
Yeah man. You can get a little lazy with them, haha. Yeah, there are traces of one though. In Rickets I believe there's some. Damn, what a fucking song.
Sounds like double kick in the WGTB chorus too.

yeah, before I started using a double pedal I always did such things with one foot. I was great at it because I did it all the damn time. but then I got the double pedal and now I just can't do it anymore. doesn't really matter though, I always use the double pedal when I play.

i dont see it happening, i thought maybe it would by how Steph was talking about wantin to do leads (& sol invicto he does them, & that "i feel fine" beatles cover solo, etc), but after hearing melanie i no longer think he will. i mean if he doesnt bust out a solo in a heavy song like that when would he?(my guess, never in deftones) it was the perfect opportunity to do whatever he wanted, & nothing, just his normal riffs. nothing out of the ordinary for him whatsoever...
deftones should do a song without chino. stef would do all of this heavy shit, solos and all that, then an ambient ending with frank. 8 minute interlude.

i thought he only used it on wgtb, i can undserstand using it for triplets on the single pedal but i'd hope abe ould manage the doubles alright innit.
The albums been put back to April, the UK tour has been scrapped and there is no news when this will take place but when I hear, I will post it here.

I don't really care that much that Eros won't be out for a couple more months but the fact the UK tour has been "scrapped" rather than rescheduled or something is WANK!
Though I'm annoyed, I'm not surprised :P

I spoke to someone at Warner about Eros and a promoter about the tour.
The album has to be mastered by now. Why does it need to be pushed back to April?
Quote from: Inkblades on Oct 21, 2008, 09:30 PM

it doesnt HAVE to be mastered, it's deftones, it's probably not even mixed yet. since Chino said they finished mixing i figured the exact opposite. ya gotta think in a "deftones" frame of mind, if they say it's done being mixed that really means they're having major problems & it'll be delayed longer. some people here actually thought it would hit in 2008(like their plan was), & not be a long, delayed drawn out nightmare like everytime. lolz @ them
If that's the case about the UK tour then fuck.

I reckon it won't be too long before/after Eros though if it was scheduled for february and Eros was due out in winter. The 06 tour was like 2 months before SNW was released afterall :]

Jan 26th? I'll gladly take it (if true).
pisses me off when places put release dates without any confirmation, just gets false hopes going. i'm still betting late march earliest
i wonder where they get these dates, do they just make them up?

I have checked Play.com a couple times for tentative release dates on Cd's and they are sometimes right. Of course, its probably all wrong. Abe said Jan and the 26 is a Monday I think.
i dont remember Abe saying Jan, just the magazine said it. interesting that 2 places say Jan now, but still highly unlikely in my mind
dont hold your breath for long, if the undertow is getting to strong

Chi
Hello everyone,
It deeply saddens me to inform you all that our brother Chi Cheng was involved in a terrible car accident last night. He is currently in a Northern California Hospital in serious, but stable condition. I am on my way up North right now to be by his side along with the rest of our band mates and family. Chi is one of the strongest people I know, and I'm praying that his strength will get him through this. Please say a prayer for him as well.
-chino.
"
Fuck.
I thought you were kidding at first..
http://deftonesinstudio.blogspot.com/
Oh my word... :(
Play.com are usually pretty good for dates.
But about the accident, I hope he gets well soon.
they haven't finished mxing yet, so 26 of january is hardly believable
fuck you about the dates!

the only date i care is about chi's back...
Hey guys, i know that what happened to Chi is more important than anything else that's going on with the band, but i checked out SLopez's studio site, and he mentions that:
November 3rd, 2008
The Airport has been very busy since we last wrote... Here is what we've worked on and are working on lately...
Clients:
Deftones - (Warner Bros.) - Tracking
Far - Tracking, Mixing
Hot Little Pony - Tracking, Mixing
South Of Earth - Tracking, Mixing
Eightfourseven - Tracking
Tycho (Ghostly Int. Records) - Mixing
I thought that the album was done, maybe Chino is adding some details
i hope he doesn't fuck up anything like beware

Well, considering Chino said it would be more with the " Fuck you I hope you die " sound, there are good chances indeed.

yeah hell up for christmas
do you guys think that chino stef and abe went back into the studio to write a song for chi?? or do you think they could possibly change the album due to the accident like take out some really aggresive "finger of death" type songs and replace them with something more mellow?? just a thought

I think writing a song for Chi and throwing it on the album would be an awesome idea. But I don't see them taking out songs because Chi probably already put his bass on those tracks.
add
yeah, mellow song for chi would be great though...
I just realized something and I agree kalhan

listening to the guitar sound from the eros clips, it sounds very heavy with 8 string and all.and according to chino eros will be more uptempo so maybe it will be as heavy as s/t in the sound but a faster record.
will eros be as dark? maybe not. but i sure hope so

I'm beginning to think I won't care wtf this album is like as long as it's released soon.
did you changed your user name
Yeah, I'd just like it out. I'm starting to get so excited over other bands... because they have CD's coming out.. and really not any news from the D'tones camp.
i gotta give them a break this time, because what happened to Chi. i knew it was sure to delay the album bigtime. understandable. if that never happened, it would probably be out by now, or like 2 or 3 weeks away from it's release date. if it comes out this year at all i'd be suprised
Well, your thoughts sound weird to me...
I mean, yeah the cd doesn't get released, and that's pretty annoying, but hey Deftones are Deftones right ?
It's not because they take time to release their stuff that this stuff interests me less or doesn't at all...
originally it was september. then it was january. even in the frank interview (done in september) he said it just needd to be mixed and mastered. i do understand about the chi incident, but atleast some news... it seems like its been thrown in the garabge for now
im pretty sure after their first show in awhile, they will give us news about a upcoming tour and we will get some news about a release date ... i think it will still be released this year for obvious reasons

It's not because they take time to release their stuff that this stuff interests me less or doesn't at all...
man...you are so positive

are all of those posts chino's?
word.
I think it's his, because I found it through Jeff Irwin's (Will Haven) twitter. Plus, he posted a pic of Abe, so I don't think it's one of these fake profiles.
the updates are funny no matter

+ he has a mac with itunes and depeche mode as fav band
''quite possible we may have just written the heaviest song EVER!''
are you mothefuckez still writting ?...
realese this fuckin album ! cant fuckin wait anymore...
and i hope that wouldnt be only 12 songs...
um, does Chino really come across as the kinda guy who calls things "ill", use "oh snap" and shortenes "I'm gonna" with "ima"? not to me. the language and way to type those twitter posts looks like a much younger person to me.
but I might be wrong.
after that sentence on that blog site, abe says ''this album is more heavy''
aaaw fuck my english...all i know is fuckin something

bands always say that.
deftones always say that.
but i believe it will be this time...
Well steph is using an 8 string guitar. Try and not make that shit sound heavy.
true. he could be a tad more inventie with his riff structuring though... and song structures altogether
it is possible to make an album with an 8 string guitar NOT heavy i mean i have a bunch of seven string guitars and i dont always play heavy shit on them plus he was already tuning in F# on SNW i heard somewhere hes gonna tune in E but an octave LOWER then regular which will probably sound like farts i tried it on my guitar and it sounded BAD.... not because my equipment either i have stephs seven strings and a peavy 5150 head with mesa cabs.... its good shit
sooooo anyway my point is DONT think cause steph is playing an 8 string that the album is gonna be super heavy.....
i think if anything may give us clues that the album will be heavy its the chino said he's NOT playing guitar not that i dont love chino's song writing but he's not even a bit heavy.....except in size

Pretty sure that it's been confirmed that Chino IS actually playing guitar on the new album, despite what they originally said.
he filled in after the fact, because otherwise he would hinder the process of writing the basics of a song

yes its true...
and its gonna be cool..
I'm really dying for this album. I've been listening to White Pony a lot lately and I just really want something that has that kind of freshness from the Deftones. I love SNW and Self-titled but there's something unexplainable about the mood of WP and I think it has a shitload to do with the production on the guitars and drums and well, the production all together. Something about the way that album was recorded and mastered makes it exist in a whole different auditory astral plane that I cannot find the words to accurately describe. I guess I just hope this album has that type of production to it, you know? Something that's just so crisp and spacey.
Fuck I don't know what I'm on about but anyhow I just had an olfactory recognition of pussy and it was great. That's all.
I honestly have no expectations for this album in regards to how it will sound. I haven't even tried to speculate, and have put it in the back of my mind. I hope that makes it fresh in itself.
Much respect,
-Matt
That's a good way to look at it. I just can't wait anymore. I want it to come out. I can' t believe we would have had it by now. Oh well. More important things have come up.
Hopefully is offers a little bit more variety than SNW. I though Chino was extremely weak in Saturday Night Wrist when it came to his vocals performance.
Not that I want to get into a debate, haha, but I really don't know why people are so hard on SNW. I think it's a great album, despite the drama and negative feelings behind it, it's solid. If anything I'd only get rid of Serge on Mein and maybe leave Pink Cellphone as a hidden track or B-Side and call it awesome. The Demos are great but on some of the more progressive tracks I have trouble imagining Chino's voice. Either way, I think it's a good effort.
Much respect,
-Matt

Well...
Beware has some really difficult vocal lines. Keep on screaming like a mad pig on Rats! is pretty hard, too. Cherry Waves is not that easy either. As for the others, yes, it was pretty easy. Especially on Mein.
Don't get me wrong, SNW certainly did rock - but it was just missing the innovation behind White Pony and the enegry in S/T. There only stand out songs that caught my attention were Riviere and Xerces, which were both brilliant in their own way.
It's hard to describe - it's like Chino had an identity crisis with how he wanted to perform the vocals on a majority of songs, and what we got as a finished product was vocal production that didn't mesh well with the sound. To me it all sounded disjunct and out of place. This is all my opinoin.
I just hope all works out and something better than snw comes out. Not that it was bad, but it would be amazing to get another Around the Fur or White Pony.
Still thinking that SNW is their weakest album. Just hope Eros doesn't sound like that.

A friend of mine in Sacramento messaged me the following information regarding the new album, this is what he has heard about it:
"The new album will have longer songs, think 6 minutes or more, guitar solos, even more synth/keys/fx from Frank, lyrically will be more straightforward rather than cryptic, there will be more complex song structures, more guitar from chino, and faster drums (more double bass). Chi got a 6 string bass he's using on most songs and a fretless 5 string. Steph is using a new custom 8 string baritone guitar. Chino is using a lot of FX on his guitar parts so it doesn't even really sound like guitar that much.
Songs are coming fast and the album might even be put out by the end of 2008"
this text was funny when it first appeared. but i gotta say it is starting to get hilarious the closer to the release we come. the text above will be reposted after the drop. naive bullshitters ftw

That's so fucking stupid, they won't even be able to play their instruments when they're that old.
Humor's not necessarily logical.
can we have some good fucking news?? - regarding chi, regarding eros, regarding the deftones - anything - i don't even mind good news about stef getting rid of his head lice - but just something! I need some positive Deftones energy in my life right now - it's been far too fucking long.
haha^ no shit! they rarely update shit. i mean what happened to the blog!?!? get with th program because you (deftones) wouldnt be here without your fans.

why is everyone mad about the new album coming out late? Its not like your waiting for Tool! Deftones will get it done when they can, shit comes up and they cant do everything they or you want them to. They are people too, they got other shit to do! If you want the album done, go to where ever they are recording, kick Chino in the nuts and start singing!!!

Because the Deftones are my fuckin' favorite band. They gave some good taste to the bad moments of my life, they made me feel high like never before, they gave me a new definition of music. I listen to tons of music, but it's been 5years that I can't go through a day without one or two tunes from the Deftz. I keep waiting for Eros, I want some new stuff, some new stuff that will blow my mind once again. I can't stand being told one date for the album release and then another date. It's like you have to wait for christmas whereas you're already on christmas day. And considering I'm not patient at all, you can guess why I'm getting mad. And for Tool, yeah Tool's a great band, but damn, Deftones have this unique mood, no matter which song it is (except Pink Cellphone maybe), Tool is some good deep music, but... not the Deftones. That's my opinion of course, you can have another and totally opposed one. But I want to precise: I'm not getting mad against THEM, I understand what is happening to them and so on, I'm just pissed with the time, that's all.

ffffuck yeah
The only thing that bothers me is the lack of info and updates. I wish they would do what dredg did with the new album with the videos and shit. They tried with the studio updates but then that shit failed. That shit pisses me off. But whatever, we get it when we get it. Im sure it will be worth the fucking wait.

i must admit. i agree with kameron
i used to really love the deftones. but i really dont look forward to their releases like i used to.

thx for agreeing, but i didnt mean to imply that i didnt care for the new album, i want that muther fucker like no other, but its just not coming when WE want it. Deftones said it themselves, they write for themselves.
Saying this was ment to be released January/March time I can understand why everyone is pissed.
I can't wait either, well want to go see them in London this summer!
if we get it in mid 2010 we'll be damn lucky, really there's no reason to even talk about it right now, it's very far from being released. there's nothing to talk about with it
Anyone that complains about a this Deftones album taking long is a douche. At this point in thier careers, c'mon now... after what happen ??? ::) ::)
???
:-\
wow...
havent been on the board for a while, but ive been reading up on the last couple of pages..
what the hell is the deal with you people, man?
i joined here to talk to every conceivable deftones fan around the world. 'likeminded' people, so to speak.
instead i come back to check up on some news and some old forum friends, and i find these bitter greedy people around here!
okay im overreacting, but cmon people..
deftones have ALWAYS been slow when it comes to album releases. and even now, when Chi is in a coma and all, you STILL want to bitch about it? seriously?
i dont know why but that really dissapoints me somehow.
Personally, im happy that the dudes still keep on playing, after all the shit the band's been through. Im extremely thankful that i at least get the chance to see em again in Amsterdam, and to get another one of their albums, PERIOD.
stop whining and just be thankful fer cryin out loud.
what does everyone predict eros will sell it's first week?
just for something different to discuss (i know it's still probably a year from being released)
i'm gonna say 45,000 the first week. snw only did 76,000 the first week, and cd sales are way worse now than even then. long gone are the days they could threaten 200,000 in a debut week. in the past 4 years only piece of dog shit nickelback have seen sales goes up, WAY UP. people are morons
yeah i get it. but atleast they can update with a blog or something. i mean really, how long would it take to log in, type even jsut 30 words, and log out... laaaaaaaazzzy
really, i cant believe they updated it as much as they did, way back(which wasnt much). and i never thought for even 1 second it would come out in 2008

true, the Chi thing changed the whole album. but even if that never happened to him, the album still wouldnt have hit in 2008. i was thinking march-april 2009 if all went well, which it obviously didnt. they said they were done with the album in like Oct 2008. who knows why they didnt mix & master it & release it. maybe it wasnt very good for their standards, so they started making new stuff. now i guess we're looking at a whole new album basically, & maybe another year+ wait. it's fine though, shit happens (plus they're always super slow making albums anyway. but at least not anywhere near as slow as tool, i'm glad i'm not a fan of that band)

DOn't try to find out why... Some Deftones fans disliked SNW a bit, it didn't sound like the real Deftones to them, or it bored them, or whatever. I don't agree, but to each his own opinion...

updates from the deftones!
"What's up!
We want to take a minute and address all of you regarding Chi and our new record:
First and foremost, we are all still praying and hoping for our brother's and bandmate's recovery. He continues to get hospital care, but often it feels as if we're no closer to knowing what is ultimately going to happen to him as he continues to fight off infections as part of an ongoing battle with his condition. We trust all of you have been following his progress at One Love For Chi; we have as well. Whenever we have significant information regarding his condition, we will share it with all of you. In the meantime, we're working on getting a benefit show together for Chi in Los Angeles this fall; details will follow very soon.
Let's all continue to channel positive energy into the universe for Chi's recovery.
There has been a lot of speculation lately about what is going on with the record: Eros for one, and Chi's parts, and this new record that we are currently tracking.
The songs recorded for Eros are very special to us as they are the latest with Chi (and we certainly hope not the last); they have history and significant meaning to us. However, as we neared completion on Eros, we realized that this record doesn't best encompass and represent who we are currently as people and as musicians. And although those songs will see the light of day at some point, we collectively made the decision that we needed to take a new approach, and with Chi's condition heavy on our minds while doing so. We needed to return to the studio to do what we felt was right artistically. Our inspiration and unity as a band is stronger than it has ever been before and we needed to channel that energy into our music, and deliver to our fans what you rightly deserve: the best Deftones record that we can make.
The decision to hold off on releasing Eros has no connection with Chi's condition or anything associated. This was, and is, purely a creative decision by the band to write, record, and deliver an amazing product. As a result we feel like this is the best record we've ever written. And although Chi is not playing bass with us, his presence is dramatically felt in our hearts and on our minds everyday when we step into that studio, and you will feel it in the music.
We have some dates coming up this summer as you know, and the best thing that we can do now is to try to return this situation to the closest thing to normalcy as possible. The stage is our home, and you are our family.
Please remember, only Deftones speak for Deftones, so we will continue to periodically release official statements.
More to come soon."
I'm quite confuse here...
What's there to be confused about? They're ditching the songs they made with Chi and making a whole new album all together.

Well let's be honest, no album after Master of Puppets had the spirit of Cliff in them (well And Justice does, but it's only cause some of it was written before his death) we all know he was the mastermind behind them.
Hence why they went the easy route with The Black Album (etc)

Confused whether if they would make a new album, or if they would modify Chi's parts...
at first i didnt think Korn should carry on without head, or david. but they've made 2 straight albums i like, so i've changed my stance on that. deftones without Chi will still make a good album. and hopefully all those eros tracks with Chi get mastered & released sometime(sooner than later)

I imagine this new album to be a metal/shoegaze feel to it.
i hope you are right. a cross between the dreamy-landscape of team sleep and the perfect metal from the tones. i hoping for a blend... i thought the self-titled record from the deftones was damn near flawless, personally.
Quote from: Gaz on Oct 11, 2007, 10:39 PM
I'm not believing anything untill I read something that the band themselves officially put out.
i think dude here said it best...
So does anyone think the Deftones will play some new stuff at their upcoming shows???
they always do
We're 9days away from their next show... Someone has to record this shit.
If your are going you must record it some how, you will be casturated for non-compliance, and females ill just slap your tits off.
I wonder how far into the tracking of the new album they are? Does anyone know if Terry Date is involved with this one? He was with "Eros". just haven't heard any news as far as that. I was looking forward to another album produced by him. >:(

Same here >:(
its retarded man theyre shelving EROS, so they can release another album (who knows what its called or when itll be released) becasue they didnt want sergio fuckin up Chis shit on EROS so they just said ok start over, fuckin dumb man....hopefully the :Bob Ezrin Demos" thing will happen ie it gets bootlegged and released on the net, fuck waiting
im sure these 2 albums are gonna rock, dont worry
maybe the tons of "Deftones New Album - Winter" flyer's i have will actually be true this year. or next year.
ugh!
this time they did 2 albums which in progress , i will not blame them for anything
only i wanna hear something new, it has been 3 years and we have nothing but melani 1 live version..
well atleast we will get 2 albums instead of 1. EROS and EZRIN HAHA just kidding although that would be kinda catchy! Oh well Deftones wont let us down, they never have, except with pink cellphone. It would be great if Chi woke up and bashed in the door while they were recording and said "WTF YA'LL KICKED ME OUT?" then beats the shit outta Sergio with his bass!
lol, that be funny as shit
i think sergio is a pretty good guy, they are friends..
but his name reminds me brasil romance series...

haha thats exactly what i mean
Sergio seems to be a good of a guy, but seriously, he's not as half badass as Chi, and he hasn't got the same sound at all.
No one can replace Chi, period.
dude, ur supposed to be on vacation... just cant stay away eh?
he is the only active user even at holidays...
deserves a medal

go!
about fucking TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deftones is proud to announce the title and release date of the brand new record. "Diamond Eyes" will be available everywhere May 18. The first track to be released is called "Rocket Skates", and will be available for free download at deftones.com next Tuesday, February 23. Head over to www.myspace.com/deftones (http://www.myspace.com/deftones) right now for a sneak preview.
FUCK YES.
aaaarrgh one week!!! will seem like eternity!!! i wouldn't mind paying for it, but hey free is cool too ;D
EDIT: about the album, its got a good name! still excited!!!
i like the album name. it's cool to have the name revealed so close to the release date. i don't like knowing the album name a year or 2 before it drops, it gets old. diamond eyes is very fresh this way

Great point! it kinda makes it more special knowing its sooo close to be released. But I don't know about the title. It needs to grow on me. I can't wait to hear chino explain why Diamond Eyes.
that's gold, im excited, BTW, Diamond Eyes is an awesome title.
Yea Diamond Eyes sounds so sick. I bet one of the songs on the album is called Diamond Eyes!!
i remember diamond being a working title SNW era, when we didn't know what was going on with F.O.D..... and i could be mistaken but i wanna say diamond was the other title for FOD.. haha, so maybe it will finally get released! ha yeah right
edit: it was buffalo i was thinking of..
Hell Fuckin Yeah!!!!
i am hopeful that FOD will at least be released as a b side one day
I wouldn't care if the fucking name was boo boo kitty fuck, I just want to hear some new Tones already! Damn Im excited for the 23rd! Fuuuck Yes
Diamond Eyes sounds so cool
Sounds cool! not as good as eros but whaqt the hell.. its the tones. this album will make my whole summer! i hope that the eurotour with thrice is real... jizzing my socks off
Finally!
Could someone rename that thread ?

Härligt! Hoppas det blir en arenaspelning i Sverige för en gångs skull! ;)
I wonder if they only plays festivals in the summer? i have already seen them once at a festival and would really like to see them play in a dark arena with cool mellow lights.
oh why cant it be may already? i wonder if the cover for the album will be the same as the single cover? (of course with a little arrangement)
i really liked the flyes they were using on the old/new myspace. the one with to cold blue colours.
Possible b-sides, covers, etc.?
Diamond Eyes was a working title for SNW right? I barely remember something like that... shit this is dope!, I like it better than Eros. Taht Rocket Skates clip sounds awesome I'm really happy for the guys, excitement is back!.
I don't think so. However, "Diamond" was an early working title for one of the SNW songs.
oh my god 48 pages !!!

Noobs will flood in april-may looking for a leak... Same old shit.
holy thread batman! this place is finally getting some traffic. naturally i'm excited for new deftones but as usual i will refuse to listen to it until release day when its in my hands so i can put on some headphones, turn down the lights and experience it. kind of how i do with every anticipated release that comes out for me.

Yea thats what I try to do too, but for this one Im going to listen to the leak. I'd rather listen to it on vinyl anyways and I doubt the vinyl will be available on the release date. I bet It leaks early May.
i'm betting on a leak sometime in april but then again it's been done for quite some time apparently and no leak yet.

Once they send it out to stores it will. Usually 2 weeks before release day
Awesome, I'm just going to buy it so I have the best quality first listen. I'm not overly hyped so I can wait.
So fucking stoked... the free download is on my birthday too haha..

i cannot fucking wait.
I agree--the album title is great. The whole thing, "Deftones--Diamond Eyes," sounds great to me. Besides that the audio clip sounds MASSIVE, even compressed on Youtube. I really can't wait for this to drop. I graduate college on May 15th, this is dropping at a pivotal moment of my life, and I'm really hoping it's one of those albums that takes you back to a place later in life.
Much respect,

your opinion matters soo much to me, :)
idk about the rest of you but i'm going out at midnight to get that shit
First thought upon hearing the title was David Bowie. Then I thought of Cat Power - Cross Bones Style. Both cool.
I will hear its crisp form from the cd :)
yeah CD for sure.
Despite it being the norm, I hate the faceless and disposable crap that is MP3.
I hope the artwork/package is really cool on this.
I agree. I fucking hate MP3's. You're missing SO MUCH of the music in that shitty file. Buy the CD and put some headphones on and LISTEN to how it was intended to be listened to.
I never hear any difference between an mp3 with decent kbps and a file directly played from a cd. all y'all have bat ears
Quote from: Penicks on Feb 18, 2010, 08:45 PM

Plus with the loudness war, its all just one loud mess of noise.. so it doesn't really matter.
It becomes mess when the song is compressed into a shitty mp3. and the fact you can't hear the difference between a CD and an mp3 is a little bit silly.
I cant tell much of a diff between mp3 and cd. Vinyl tops both of them IMO.

Doesn't become a mess when compressed to mp3.. maybe if its 128kbit MP3. but anything @ 300kbit is pretty good. And that's not the mess of sound I was talking about.
Yes I know what you meant about the loudness war. It's nothing new. Heavy Metal acts get compressed to shit at the mastering stage. It's the norm for that type of genre. it's got to be LOUD. Just like certain dance genres. Now you wanna take that already compressed to shit song on your CD, and you want to compress it AGAIN into an MP3? I just don't get it...
Anyway to apport to the discussion, I did my test and I could recognize loss up to 192 kbps comparing against wav tracks. Over there I couldn't hear anything valuable.

Not quite the same compression.
Also.. Anyone hear the voice in the Rocket Skates teaser @ 25 seconds?
i've always had a strong preference for good sound quality which is why i would take cd's over mp3's any day. most people just don't notice but i can't stand the kind of digital crashing sound that you get from anything loud. its the worst with cymbals. that's just me, i'm a big stickler for sound quality. my girlfriend calls me out on being a nerd about it all the time. i have to have top of the line sound quality and i love to hear every aspect of a song. background atmosphere is nice.
So your an audiophile, do you listen to the music or do you listen to your equipment ;) Can't wait for this new album, need some good music. Oh and hi im new, well not new i've been reading the boads for years but ....well you know.

It's discussed endlessly, but you're right. A file on a computer isn't the same as purchasing an actual product, putting the CD in and checking out the artwork in your hands as you listen for the first time. It sets the mood.
Imagine if s/t had really bright, white artwork rather than blacks, roses and skulls.. You think the album would have maybe came across as less dark? It sets the tone for me. Not that it being dark is a bad thing, personally. I love that record. I been blasting it in the car lately.

Decent leaks come from god. Money goes to the 'tones, anyways.
the money we pay for the records goes to the label and not to the Tones.
but I dont care I will buy it anyways just to have it.
and it's always somewhat of a way to make labels keep putting stuff out for bands and supporting them.
I just think it's a pity because we are putting our money in and labels do not promote or give support to band as they should do. the label should promote them big time!
labels nowdays are are big time bloodsuckers who just care about money!
I know what what I'm saying may sound cynical because I will end buying the record, but we are giving money just to the label and not to the Deftones.
Unless they sell a huge amount of records all the money we are giving is going to the labels.
but It's the way we have to show we care for the Deftones and besides we also got the live shows!so lets keep supporting them anyway we can!!!even if that includes giving money to the bloodsuckers!(plus I wanna have the physical release with me anyway's)
we should start some movement!!like everytime some of us fans buy a record from the tones we should write demanding the labels to give the money to the Deftones.
I'm a bit drunk...

For all the fans and as always craving to go around a little, show some of the parallel work of Chino Moreno, Team Sleep of time at rest stops and sits down to work with Shaun Lopez (Far guitarist and producer and producer the entire vocal part of the Saturday Night Wrist) and Annie Hardy (Giant Drag singer and makes the Pink Cellphone telephone conversation on Saturday Night Wrist)

Sergio is also a DJ so I guess he contributed other stuff besides bass?
Sweet pics...their studio setup reminds me of System of a Down's...circa Toxicity
This album has totally got the whole 'White Pony' vibe going for it.
Obviously it's going to be way ahead from WP but something just feels right about it.

Cool pics. Anyway I can download and save them?
Anyone else hoping that they include at least one trip hop tune like they've done before? If they do i just hope its not like 'pink cellphone'
Im hoping this album is completely different than their other ones. I'd like to see less screaming and more experimental songs. But ill be happy with anything cuz I love the tones! I just hope they can reproduce it live like Rocket Skates!
Diamond Eyes - Title gets better everyday.
It would be cool to see somme reggae shit like they've done on " Answers " or " Hop Burg Hop " ( if that's the correct title ? ), but I'm sure they won't include some.
"answers" freakin rules. that would be cool to do something like it again
really, all the old demos are awesome
yeah defo, they had that Bad Brains thang goin' own.

hoburg hop,answers and that reggae stuff is like their first stumbeling steps as a band,they were like bambi on ice.
now that they are the fully grown deer as a band,no need to go back to that baby step period.thats ridicouls

Might be their first steps, but still, these songs are excellent tracks, to me, and I don't see why it would be ridiculous to hear some more unexpected influences. A band can always try new stuff, even after 20years.

'Cause by " unexpected influences ", I don't only include the reggae thing they had 20years ago.
if they started playing reggae again, i would consider it to be "doing something old" insted of " something new" because they already did it a long time ago.
btw, i checked an interview with cranberries... they got a question of which their biggest influences was.. they said "the hoburg hop demo song by deftones is pretty much the only influence we got. we wouldnt start playing if it werent for that track.thanks deftones" they said

;D ;D ;D
"new" influences would be cool,
but i for one still never got my fill of ATF style material.
it's the album i go back to and love the most (am i alone here?).
more "mature" than adrenaline but still totally raw, with KILLER grooves, and just such a cohesive sound (with the possible exception of Soulfly, which although i still think is great, is my least favorite on the album)
the reason i mention this is that i seem to remember reading ages ago that between ATF and WP the 'tones wrote alot of stuff that went right in the dumpster cuz it sounded too much like the previous. also i would imagine that in the studio while recording ATF there were other great tracks that didn't make the album, for example, two that we know of are Can't Even Breathe, and the ill-fated (never "finished") "Bumble D.
don't get me wrong, i know they always wanna move forward, and that's def. a good thing, otherwise we might not have WP etc., and i honestly love their entire catalogue,
but i wish they had recorded THAT stuff, at THAT time, with Terry Date, and with Chino's vocals ALMOST at prime but still raw and uncut. SORRY TO RANT, I'M A NOOB (pent-up first post)
nice first post
it's interesting how everyone is looking back on the other records without ever looking forward to something new. I mean, everyone's like - wow this sounds like self-titled/ATF/WP/Ad etc etc, but never, you know - wow, this sounds like Diamond Eyes.
I'm pretty sure this album will sound nothing like the previous albums.
The band has to progress anyway..
It's been the same since the old days with the same old discussions about any band. It never tires out but people insist on talking about the same old shite (including me).
It's part of the process of liking a band.
Personally, I couldn't think of anything worse or possibly horrific than hearing ATF 2 or WP 2 or whatever. They have their time and are still there if you want to hear stuff like ATF or WP etc.
Good thing about Diamond Eyes is that I have no idea how it will sound. Same goes with their previous albums.
Quote from: rock_n_frost on Feb 28, 2010, 08:01 PM

thanx rock_n_frost
and LOSTPILOT, i'm sure you weren't referring just to me, but i agree, the band has to progress. as everyone knows, of course they WILL progress, they're the Deftones. it's what they do.
but it's only natural to either compare old and new, or just wax poetic about the old.
to me it seems impossible not to look back on things i love with fondness, like ALL the Deftones records, ATF in particular.....
BTW way of course this record will be nothing like the previous, they don't like to repeat themselves, and i wouldn't want them to.....if you WERE replying in any way to my post, you must not have read it close enough.
also do you REALLY think that "EVERYONE is looking back on the other records without EVER looking forward to something new"???
I'M pretty sure that most of us on here are waiting on needles and pins for Diamond Eyes.....which will probably sound like.......i dunno.....Diamond Eyes..............................(or Ted Nugent).

yeah, they are still there, however as i mentioned, there was other material written during the process of those albums, and i don't see whats wrong with wanting it to see the light of day.......
I WAS NOT REFERRING IN ANY WAY TO THE DEFTONES WRITING A NEW ALBUM THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD ONE.
which again should have been apparent to anyone that actually read and UNDERSTOOD MY POST.
i'll say THIS clearly, as to avoid anymore misunderstandings:
i don't like post critics talking down to or about people writing about that which they feel passionate, or inclined to express.
anyone who continues to do so should attach a colostomy bag to their mouths, there's "shite" leaking out.........
Personally, I think Diamond Eyes will sound nothing like ATF or WP. It wont even sound like SNW. It will sound like Deftones (not s/t lol).
Deftones are Deftones, they make great music and thats what we all want to hear.
Great Music.
So Diamond Eyes huh? Cool title. I think they should have named this one self-titled not deftones but actually "self-titled" Just to fuck with us

No worries. That's why I said "personally" dude. I wasn't really aiming at your post as such...
I was expressing the fact that we all talk the same old stuff (including me) and that's the process of when a band affects you that much.
Is there gonna be 15 tracks like RS' id3 tags say.
That Spin article said eleven.
I know this will never happen but how amazing would it be if Eros came out at the end of the year? Two albums in one year would be epic.

so then they can release eros together
Nylons and Suspenders... Just the name alone makes me wonder what it sounds like.lol :)
So does anyone think that song "melanie" or what ever tentative name it was that the tones we're playing live for a few shows will make it to diamond eyes? or was that a ero's project..? I love that song.. and I think the chorus is amazing and would love to hear a studio production of it.

What, no one here listened to the recent Metal Hammer podcast that talks about the new album? Apparently the one host has heard it and he made me that much more excited for it based on what he says and how excited he sounds about it. He called it both f***ing astounding and jaw dropping I believe and makes the drums and guitar out to be very big sounding. He said it has danceable elements and there's some good grooves on this album. He said it fits directly slap bang in the middle of Around the Fur and White Pony. Now that's got me excited!
He said something like the first half or more is super heavy and the latter end is more blissful but still has edge and crunch with a lot of guitar presence. Also, I don't think we have to worry about CMND/CTRL being another Konami code type thing because he sounds particularly excited about that one and stresses that it is BRUTAL.
Go Diamond Eyes!!

Ah, that sounds AWESOME. My favorite Deftones album is White Pony, and I remember Chino said the lyrics were more like that, with the fantasy kind of element, so that just makes me hyped up and excited. Months away though...I'm very impatient.
Let me be of assistance :)
"Diamond Eyes" - crude verse filled chopped up riffs transit into a very melodic chorus, a powerful cylindrical finale is a smooth transition to the next song
"Royal" - a typical Deftones track, low-tuned, dense guitars attrackt your attention, it has a heavy bass sound and a spinning rythm
"Cmnd / Ctrl" - the most angry piece in the set, raw, roaring with guitars from the condensed, distinguished by a buzzing, "pissed off" riff
"You've Seen The Butcher" - one of the best tracks, a bit gloomy, almost horror-like with a nervous, quivering bass, sometimes reminiscent of early recordings of Tool, a brilliant show of Chino Moreno, who cries beautifully, without resorting to animal screams
"Beauty School" - one of the milder compositions in the set, with a lovely melody, a metallic background guitar a'la The Cure, with a very american chorus and Twilight Saga atmosphere
"Prince" - the number has a korn-styled opener, but it doesn't make a big impression, apart from the high pitched guitars
"Rocket Skates" - the single perfectly reflects the character of the work on album; it has a lot of thick guitars and heavy parts but also a very harmonic vocal
"Sextape" - despite the title is a delicate, almost romantic composition, with perfectly embedded, or rather drifting, sweeping Moreno's voice (applause for Raskulinecz) and a charmingly catchy chorus
"Risk"- (figured as" Yum Yum ") - an incredible contrast to the previous song, another sharp track with a raw, truly industrial riff, very thick, with broken rhythm, and once again stunning vocal harmonies
"976-EVIL"- the most dramatic piece on the album, with growing tension, led by a metallic guitar
"This Place Is Death" - a true display of Raskulinecz's skills, a bulging volcano of sound with a rich, raging percussion in the background; perfect combination of delicacy and strength.

I WANT FUCKING "YUM YUM" back haah thats a fucking GREAT name.
Thanks for the interview dude. Damn, that guy was beaming!
risk reminds me of megadeth, which is good, but maybe their worst album
Has anyone heard Melanie? I was just listening to it and happened to read the description for the track Diamond Eyes. Same song possibly? Maybe they changed the ending too?
The pleasure is all mine :)
I'm wondering - why only polish media have been given a preview of the album (or why only here they have decided to share with us) and why oh, why do we have to wait 2 more months, when clearly everything is ready.
Come ooooon! Want! Now!

Deftones 'Diamond Eyes' Track-By-Track Preview
http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/deftones-diaond-eyes-review/ (http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/deftones-diaond-eyes-review/)
A track-by-track review of the new Deftones album, 'Diamond Eyes'!
Diamond Eyes – A jarring, leaden riff pounds away while Chino's velvet vocals wrap lusciously around the brutality around him. The chorus is a thing of beauty here with its "time will see us realise, diamonds reign across the sky" refrain leading the charge but it's the intense low-end groove that really hits home hard here, the beatdown that closes the track is one of the heaviest moments in Deftones history. An astounding opener.
Royal – Thick-textured guitars are the order of the day on 'Royal'. Imagine the ambient leanings of 'White Pony' with the immense club-ready sonics of 'Around The Fur' here and throughout the album. It's worth mentioning how on-point the band's new rhythm-section are, backing Moreno's other-worldly vocals and the chunky guitar-tone with versatility and style.
CMND/CNTRL – An instant Deftones classic. A savage riff bounces like it's 1998 all over again while Chino scats and screams before unleashing another mammoth chorus. This is a straight up banger, begging to be dropped in clubs and will sound epic live.
You've Seen The Butcher – the first full-on foray into ambience but it's worth noting that the track still has heavy almost stoner rock-esque guitars. It's all power and groove while Moreno once again proves why his voice is one of the few in the modern game that can truly be regarded as an instrument.
Beauty School – A slamming drum-pattern from Abe Cunningham, killer bass lines and subtle guitars linger while Moreno croons over the top. The building throughout the verse gives way to a stunningly gorgeous chorus. Floating and euphoric, it's a thing of beauty and one of those moments that sets the Deftones apart from most other bands.
Prince – Reminiscent of Digital Bath from White Pony. It's all off-beat hi-hats and bass rumbles before an epic chorus breaks out. It seems as though it's going to be another more subtle track before exploding in an eruption of pounding guitars and all-out aural assault. Moreno really shows his versatility on this one.
Rocket Skates – You'll doubtlessly have had your mind blown by this one already. Rhythmic detonations interspersed with the dreamy Moreno vocals and that "Guns! Razors! Knives!" refrain. You already know this is a riot-starter. If you're yet to hear it, check out the video here.
Sex Tape – A guitar intro that reminds a little of the Smashing Pumpkins (bizarrely). Blissfully chilled-out and a welcome break from the full-on nature of the album thus far, Sex Tape is the Deftones challenging themselves in the realms of elegant song-writing and reaping the benefits incredibly. One of the best tracks on the album and something that could become a career-highlight.
Risk – A grinding, sinister riff leads the charge here. It's probably the most forgettable moment on the rcord but it's not without merit. The break-down around the 2 minute mark is still kick-ass.
976-Evil – A real journey of a track. Progressive and going more on feeling than basic song-structure, '976-Evil' sees the band building through subtlety. It's got to be said, 'Diamond Eyes' probably represents the finest vocal performance of Chino Moreno's career to date and the way he leads this track is nothing short of breath-taking.
This Place Is Death – A moving note to end on. Sombre in mood and tone, it has a real calm after the storm feel that leads the album out on a solemn yet powerful note.
In summarizing, when Deftones say this is one of the best albums of their career, they weren't kidding. On first listen, this seems set to become a Deftones classic. A heavier album than Saturday Night Wrist, it has massive influence from both Around The Fur and White Pony. Stunning stuff from the Sacramento alt-metallers.
Deftones release 'Diamond Eyes' on May 17th.
Fucking awesome!

A track-by-track review of the new Deftones album, 'Diamond Eyes'!
Diamond Eyes – A jarring, leaden riff pounds away while Chino's velvet vocals wrap lusciously around the brutality around him. The chorus is a thing of beauty here with its "time will see us realise, diamonds reign across the sky" refrain leading the charge but it's the intense low-end groove that really hits home hard here, the beatdown that closes the track is one of the heaviest moments in Deftones history. An astounding opener.
Royal – Thick-textured guitars are the order of the day on 'Royal'. Imagine the ambient leanings of 'White Pony' with the immense club-ready sonics of 'Around The Fur' here and throughout the album. It's worth mentioning how on-point the band's new rhythm-section are, backing Moreno's other-worldly vocals and the chunky guitar-tone with versatility and style.

Hey, I was polite and just told you to read the previous page next time you want to be sure that what you post is really new.
Keep lurking, it's really not a big loss. Next time some guy is politely asking for the time, don't rip his balls off, please.
i actually think it was harsh to lock the thread as it deserves its own thread.

When you think about it, Be Quiet And Drive's guitar is very Pumpkins - especially considering the Pumpkin chord is used XD So it's not that bizarre.

Quote from: Hesperian Death-Horse! on Mar 04, 2010, 07:46 PM
I like "CMND/CTRL" as a title. Seems like the lyrics would be about a power struggle (Command and Control) in a relationship that that Chino can scream his head off about. Think about the title "When Girls Telephone Boys." At face value its kind of humorous but when you actually hear it, you know its pretty serious business. Most of us are pretty aware of Deftones particular sense of humor.
Of course this track will probably be the equivalent of "U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B, Select, Start" now that I've made that connection and in keeping with the theme of key commands for electronics as song titles.
Yeah. I called it too. lol. Of course I played it safe by getting back on the fence with the second paragraph. :)

no, be quiet and drive is very "everlong" by foo fighters. hell it is almost a rip off
really? i think it's just that one chord that makes it seem so......the open e string with the octave underneath......as a guitar player it's impossible not to notice if familiar with both songs.........also i wonder which one came first?
and don't forget that after both, alot of other people stole that shit fer sure, like Chevelle, and some other random crap i can't remember. (p.s. Chevelle are TERRIBLE imo, like deftones and tool and diarrhea mixed together and filtered thru solidified vomit, god they sucked, thank god that didn't last long)
as far as everlong and BQUAD, it could either be coincidence or inspiration. i know there's been times when i write something and then realize the chords are very similar to something else, usually i will only continue to use those chords if i feel as though the song as a whole has it's own merits and is not just a "ripoff". i think that both songs stand on their own though i of course prefer BQUAD.
Both were recorded in the same year. Both are ghey. Just kidding. Man, I'm bored. :-\
after seeing track reviews and a clip of diamond eyes, one might think this shit may leak a little early......... apparently the albums out there and is being played to people already...
We'll know soon enough. I'm not waiting until May 18th.
Quote from: Vesanic on Mar 11, 2010, 01:44 AM
We'll know soon enough. I'm not waiting until May 18th.
i hear you on that one... i have such high expectations of this album so far, i wanna say it's gonna top white pony.. i mean white pony is always going to be THE album that defines deftones, but i'm sure Diamond Eyes will be the modern equivalent... of the first 3 albums, white pony was the top one, now out of the last 3 albums they've put out, i think Diamond eyes will be the top one... so i'm not going to wait to hear it... i'm gettin the leak as soon as it comes out..
all i can say is that i think that the creative/art direction for this album and the band is really outdoing itself. what a breath of fresh air both from deftones and across the entire slate of the music scene right now. mind you, this is purely visual (the video, the promos, the art for the album etc.) i hope like hell the sound and landscape of the album matches the look of it all.

that open e string chord sets the mood in both songs and the mood is pretty similar...and the "and i wonder while i sing along with you" part is all open e chords too - its the same idea. its the same mood,the tempo is about the same,and both songs have the same concept. everlong came first, earlier that year, and i just know the guys stole the ground idea. when i first heard it i was like "wow everlong with different vocal harmonies" its one thing to get influensed by something but chino and steph just took it too far that time
you know it would really suck to die before this album came out.

Dude could you please resize that sig ?
i don't see any similarities to everlong at all in bqad, besides the fact that they're both incredible songs. i bet they hadn't heard the song before they finished bqad. my guess is they heard everlong when it became a single(and it was the 2nd or 3rd single, atf was probably done by then), since foo fighters were never mentioned by any of them as an influence or fav. they don't rip bands off, they get ripped off. i never heard anything like bqad at the time
edit_ everlong was released aug 18, 1997 as a single. i bet they heard it around then like most people that didn't buy the album. ATF was easily done by then
after 2 pages we start to talk about stupid things when we hear anything new...
Quote from: Hidalgo on Mar 11, 2010, 04:37 PM
i bet they hadn't heard the song before they finished bqad.
no maybe deftones lived under a rock during 1997.maybe. but then again.... maybe not. everlong was released as a single in august 1997, be quiet was released in late oct 97, and everyone here always yells about how fast atf was written so its not impossible.the structure and chords etc are very much alike and of course they dont mention foo fighters as influence, they SUCK and they surley are embarred for doing what they did. dai the flu is very much influensed byradiohead's "climbing up the walls" - also released that summer but i guess u dont think they have heard radiohead either. anyway, it was just one song they stole from foo fuckers so it aint that big of a deal
it was writen and recorded and done well before aug 18 97. every album sits about 4 months after it's done, that's just how it works. besides, they don't sound alike anyway. they are both insanely awesome though
i just find the similarities too big to be a coincidence, when they dropped same year and all. i just dont know. but i agree the making of atf would be rather quick, perhaps quicker than everybody says ^^
like i said, i see no similarities really. the guitars are way different and the vocals. it's just not there. come on now, listen closely to both songs again, they're quite different. now, chevelle i can see they were more than influenced by bqad on STPB
according to wikipedia foo fighters "The Colour and the Shape" with everlong on it was released in may 1997 so that would gave them time to rip it off. pick up an acoustic and play it, its about the same
yea ok, but did they buy the album then, or ever? signs lead to no(0 mentions of influence, or as a fav of any member, etc), they just really liked everlong when they heard it. most likely well after atf was finished. and the fact they sound nothing alike
as professional muscians at that time im pretty sure deftones had full control of what was going on out there. and deftones is suppose to pave the way, take left when everyone else is moving along so its much more remarkable when a band like deftones rip someone off than when a shitty garage band like chevelle does. i mean chevelles entire excistance is based on thievery
i'm with hidalgo on this.
sorry jesusinabowlofdirt.
but at least we can all agree that Chevelle is total bullshit.

the big thick sounding guitars. i thought stephan stepped up his game here. also deathblow is one of my all time favorite deftones songs and to me the album had a more lush, romantic, moving feeling to it. it just appeals to me more as a listener. to me it was like they took the soft aspects of white pony that i loved and expanded on that and gave me something i'd never heard from them before but it still had the heavy kick you in the balls stuff. the end of bloody cape is a chino highlight for me and when girls telephone boys is just good ol' heavy as fuck. i just thought the production was a bit tighter and it showed me a side of deftones i connected with even more personally. but as i said the guitar sound on that album really did it for me. hexagram is just so fucking big sounding and i loved it and still do. don't get me wrong white pony is a phenomenal album but ST just one up'd it for me. i don't really expect anyone to agree with me. i will say white pony had more variety though. around the fur is still the top of my list though.

Self Titled was the first album i heard of Deftones so for me it has place with me always.....

I wouldn't shit on that opinion. White Pony and S/T have both a totally unique mood and I can understand why some people like S/T more than WP, and vice-versa.
S/T comes second for me to ATF. I like both cds more than White Pony...maybe Diamond Eyes will blow them all out of the water or maybe it will take 3rd or 4th place with me.

Agreed, I feel however that Diamond Eyes will be a no-brainer over SNW. I like SNW, but you can tell the band was falling apart and just tried to go somewhere on the peak of a mountain that they just couldn't reach. DE seems like the guys were thrown straight up to the top of that mountain by being brought so close after the tragedy that they are just about to unleash something that none of us can even comprehend or begin to understand. Though I have no idea what to expect, I feel this album is about to blow us all away. I haven't had this much anticipation since 2000. I can't wait to hear it!
Diamond Eyes will (most likely) just add another awesome album to an absolutely original and amazing discography that just stands so well and most bands never even get the chance to make. There's always a filler album etc but Deftones, despite a few minor glitches here and there, have strayed away from that.
Not many bands can do that.
I'm just glad that I can recognise that and really, really appreciate a band I love and make my life that bit better.

Fair. I do like the the thick sound Stef went for too. Personally, WP owns it for since the transition from ATF to WP is pretty damn impressive, and also for me the songs have a lot more substance... there are more filler tracks on ST for me in comparison to WP.
Each to their own though! ATF top though I agree!

yup, I guess it from the two descriptions we got. I know, It would be weird since they said eros was shelved...maybe they didn't shelve the entire album and a few tracks appeared. Might be wrong about this, but it sounds so obvious to me from the descriptions...deftones's word has never been that unbreakeable anyway, if you get what I mean.

Yeah, I love s/t man, it's a great album. I mean I feel as though this album could be on the same scale as White Pony both musically and commercially. I can see this maybe crossing over into the mainstream again here and there.

É PARA DESBUNDAR!!!!
I pretty much have the same opinion: I think S/T > SNW anytime. Even tho the band had bad stuff going on, on both records i still think S/T has a different vibe, something sad about it. But the songs are fucking good. We got classics from S/T (i'd include Hexagram, Bloody cape, Minerva, Good Morning Beautiful, Deathblow, WGTB) but i cant really say that about SNW. Other than the 1st version of Beware and Kimdracula im not a big fan of the record.
SNW, like we all know, they didnt have the good enviroment and i think they just wanted to get things done asap to release a new record.

To be fair, you don't always want to revisit the past. The only serious reason I could see this
having any more chance than anything else (Finger of Death) of seeing the light of day is that
it may very well (sadly) end up being the last thing Chi played on. I could see them wanting
to honor it in some way because of that. On the other hand, that might be too painful.
Keep in mind, it may be a good thing that it's never heard. Maybe it sucks. ;D
Was on here before and sorta got tired of the immaturity of some asshole knowitalls who talk like they are in the band. Well, I'm back with an open mind and want to share opinions and info with the people of Sharing Lungs who have an outstanding ear for music . Anyways, I'm Allan from a Detroit area suburb called Romeo ( Kid Rock, Eminem) and have been a fan since I heard adrenaline in 1996 when I was just a sophomore in "high" school. My favorite band, hands down. So I already share (obviously) a special joy with most of you. I love that they took time to grow on me like a lot of their tunes have to after I PURCHASE an album. They fucking mesmerize me. I just want to say about D E that it sounds like it will be one of or maybe THEE best so far from what we've all read thus far! But, with that said I do want to add that "Diamond Eyes'" 30 sec sample was only enough to give me the feeling that it's a bit too produced i guess, and commercial sounding. Hopefully the full length song is a little more defesque. Love the lyrics, dont like the sound of the chorus. Chino sounds BETTER than ever so far though! Love the track names bc I agree that track names are important to the painted picture. Especially with the deftones. They have the raddest fking names most of the time like it's researched before hand or something. (by the way, can someone tell me how or if Chi is related to Dai the Flu?) Stupid question? idk. And idc either. I have many different kinds of friends who listen from country to fkn jazz,( everything) and don't have one friend who listens to these geniuses with me. FUCK EM!!!!!!! Nice to meet yall and I am every bit as stoked for this record as you people who I can only relate to on this shit! The anticipation is killing us all like a slooooooooooow death. "This time is death" ;D

well I argree with you saying the album might be pretty good. and to answer your question about dia the flu I don't know if this was what your asking but "dia" is Chi's middle name or something like that. as for the rest of your comments im to lazy to read the rest you wrote. and I ve been drinking, please excuse me.
appreciate it, Dai is in his long name, want to know what "the Flu" entails i guess. i thought i read bt it but forgot. thanks again

sooner or later we will hear it. either the band revisits it (not that likely), or the record label will release a song or two in the box set that will come shortly after the band splits up.
Funny thing is, we were all pised that team sleep's new record was to be released in 2006 as they anounced in like 2007. And that is not happenning too. They have a good excuse this time anyway, you can't blame people for the unexpected.

Deerhunter was getting ready to release
Microcastle in 2008, then Bradford's[singer] megaupload files were hacked and people found that there was something called the
Weird Era Cont.. It was supposed to be a surprise disc with more music then just the new album...

yeah also it doesn't seem like a deftones thing to do. they like to make us wait. sometimes i think they just like to watch us sweat as they dangle a new album in front of our faces like "want it? can't have it! oh you want it, here ya go, SNAP can't have it sucka!"

now there's a reliable source ;D i dont know,i would love to hear eros ,i really really do.. but its suppose to be wierd, experimental and dark.. and as chino is getting older.. and he seems to be past that misery stuff ..in life,and in music.. refering to it as "old and done" ..not sure he will stand behind such a release. fuck u chino
I thought Eros was supposed to be 'snappy' like in the vain of around the fur. I don't think they were gonna make another 'dark' record after s/t and snw.
the eros clips in the studio wasnt so snappy? and even melanie, which is a pretty fast track, have kind of a sad depressing chorus
Zane Lowe is on Radio One now and he might play Diamond Eyes.... I'm not definitely sure but he mentioned the new album quite a bit
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/ (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/)
Just caught it last minute.
are you serious ?
what did u hear ?
nothing about them right now :(
Well i was going by what chino said in an interview. Then again chino says alot of things. I found melanie to be faster tempo though.
Man someone better be ready to rip that track if they play it!
I have the same feeling for Diamond Eyes that I had for the sample.
The chorus = plain suckage
What is out of the chorus = excellent
And that ending riff is delicious.

What the fuck are you talking about ?
What? No love for me? Man, tough crowd.
Thank you guys, Now I really like the song. Still not the biggest fan ever of the ending of the chorus, but I really love how fast the song enters to it (20 seconds, fastest ever for deftones)

what about elite with 0 seconds ? can you call this a chorus ?
(fitst post....hi)
I love both new song, i just think Rocket skates is about 30 seconds too long and Diamond Eyes 1 minute too short.

HAha good one man, a fine example
Chorus is really tangible, instantly recognisable, sounds like they were aware it was quite catchy and switched it up on the verse though, i am actually suspicious when i like deftones songs straight off.
It's kind of stupid how each reviewer has said it's a really cohesive and whole album and yet they are releasing songs in bits and pieces i'd rather just listen to it all from start to finish as it looks like it's a much better experience.
I'll still be the one checking this site everyday for traces of new songs but hey
not bad , but meh... still a good song though
Thats the thing when you read a song by song description and review , it builds up your expectations and despite the song being good it doesnt fullfill my expectations
anyway good song , i prefer rocket skates
peace
diamond eyes seems like it will be this albums cherry waves or xerces and i'm fine with that.

that was what abe said in an interview, but that was under the making of eros. now if deftones would be asked about terry they would be like "who?" and say nah nah ,nick raskulinez is the shit, he is like family,perm.member a brother, secret lover bla bla.
they always hype the current situation, and dont you forget it.

i dont remember chino hyping Bob Ezrin lol. But i'm sure the album would have been better without that Slopez stint.
hypothesis: this song is shit.
- annyoing chorus, slow, boring, overly sad and catchy.
- annyoing how it repeats the 2nd chorus time, song doesnt need it.
- heavy bridge makes no sense, no connection to the rest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= has same commercial tricks as linkin park and 30 seconds to mars singles. nice song for all the wannabees.
conclusion: yes, its shit.

wow you just don't get it. if you think the song is boring, should have been longer, and it sucks, i wont care. I can disagree but i wont really care.

definetely frank
Dude I don't hate the song or even dislike it, but I still agree with Vesanic that it's just not what it could have been and isn't really Deftones-sounding (to repeat my previous posts).
If only they left that classic guitar in...
OBVIOUSLY they need to go back to Terry Date...he just happened to produce the first 4 albums which all happen to be obviously supreme compared to anything else. Why stray from him? I can't help but wonder if they brought that classic sound back with Eros since it was with Date..or if they somehow even strayed from the classic sound with that too...?? Ughh.
I am 99% sure that the DE album won't have a single song without the same heavy-ass guitar that this song has. No classic sound :(

i will repeat myself : for some reason i really don,t understand how the rocket skates riff is THAT much different than their older heavy riff like Headup and engine no9. And the riff on DE is almost the same than that heavy riff on WGTB.
I agree that Rocket Skates riff smells like ATF. I'm not with you on the DE riff = WGTB riff part, though.

ok it's not the same, but my unprofessional music ear think both riff have the same signature, same crunchy sound and arent really far from each other.
I personally wish steph didndt down tuned as much, but i still like it.
WGTB production has something more... dirty, I don't know, but something that DE hasn't got.

it doesn't affect me really.

I completely understand why a lot of you guys dont really dig the song. It definitely is a new deftones sound. I'd like to see them be more mellow and more melodic. I know a lot of u guys want that old aggressive sound. I think the album will have a good mix of heavy/melodic sounds on it. I hope u guys can eventually enjoy Diamond Eyes as much as I am.

Terry Date is and will always be the perfect producer for the Deftones. Shaun Lopez and Bob Ezrin proved it and Nick Raskulinecz will prove it.

It's worse than that. They want to make me look like a stupid fan who can't go on with my favorite band's evolution, which is totally wrong, 'cause if I couldn't, I would have stopped listening to them after hearing White Pony for the first time.
Let's make this fucking clear:
White Pony was huge change compared to Around The Fur, but I loved it, why ? Because it still had something Deftonish in it, something that made me think " It's them, it's fucking them ".
Diamond Eyes chorus is a huge change compared to whatever they did before, and I don't like it. Why ? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE DEFTONES AT FUCKING ALL.
And to prove that my opinion is not about the whole song, I totally think that the verses, the break and the end totally sounds like Deftones. Still new to me, but it tastes like fucking Deftones.

I don't think you few guys really get what we are complaining about the most (or at least me). It's not even the song structure, or the vocals, or the style, or anything at all like that...it's literally the guitar sound.
Do you put on any of the songs before SNW came out and not fucking hear that timeless, obvious Deftones guitar sound? Whether it be a totally different type of guitar, or different play-style, whatever (I'm not sure since I don't know shit about guitar techs), it totally changed after albums 1-4, totally. That's all I really mean.
Just listen to the opening rift to Hexagram for an example. But then again, you can turn on any Deftones song from S/T and back and hear that guitar in any single song.
I'm not hating on this song though, to be clear.

Vesanic, thats you opinion dude. I personally think that this song is a great display of the deftones sound. Its heavy, melodic, experimental, lush. Im very happy about it. Im sorry u dont like it man. But I think the rest of the album will be fairly similar to this song. Maybe this album wont be your favorite, thats fine. I understand the guitars sound different, but I think its time for a change. I don't get how the chorus doesn't sound like deftones?? It does to me....

I don't think you few guys really get what we are complaining about the most (or at least me). It's not even the song structure, or the vocals, or the style, or anything at all like that...it's literally the guitar sound.
Do you put on any of the songs before SNW came out and not fucking hear that timeless, obvious Deftones guitar sound? Whether it be a totally different type of guitar, or different play-style, whatever (I'm not sure since I don't know shit about guitar techs), it totally changed after albums 1-4, totally. That's all I really mean.
Just listen to the opening rift to Hexagram for an example. But then again, you can turn on any Deftones song from S/T and back and hear that guitar in any single song.
I'm not hating on this song though, to be clear.
i don't get your timeless obvious deftones guitar sound argument...if rocket skates was instrumental only i would have recognize the guitar sound as deftones.right away. For now, the rips of DE are too poor to talk about the sound, but it sounds like steph doing down tuned heavy riffs.
I'm not goin got denie how you feel, i just really not get it. Your arguments are not good enough for me.
oh and Kimdracula has a very deftones sounding riff
lol I just don't understand how you can't tell the difference in main guitar sound on every song from albums 1-4 (including Lovers) compared to SNW and the two new songs (the literal sound...not the structure or chords or anything).
Vesanic, help me out? I'm not really sure how else to describe it as I don't know much guitar lingo.
Ves, if you ever have time, maybe do a quick mp3 of a few seconds ripped from guitar in an older song compared to like a DE guitar sound rip (since you seemed to understand and agree with me)? Like a 10 -sec mp3? It's that simple to hear the difference and understand.

Damn, I just don't get it..it's the simplest comparison. It's SO easy to recognize the classic guitar sound - what the fuck kind of fans are these?!
Am I in the fuckin Twilight Zone??? LoL
I totally get where Vesanic and Minus are coming from.
Basically good shit, just that the chorus isn't Deftonesish and Terry Date brings out the best in them. The song is still good etc etc. I know exactly what guitar sound you're on about as well but I'm able to ignore the lack of it for now.
I like the song/production personally and I think this album is going to be a simple, atmospheric Meshuggah for breakfast big happy cake but I still feel the same things above a little too.

whatever, i'm tired of this argument. i can compare the sound myself, i dont need a mp3 for that. I don't agree with you, believe it or not i don't care.
its free to shit on anything good..
talking is free...
damn it guys calm down, its just a song
You're right, and like it or not, it's out. So just waitin' to hear the rest..
the song is made to be appealing to a new crowd also, make a simple nice chorus and play that part a thousand times in 3 minutes so whenever a person hear the song on the radio or whatever for the first time,its gonna stick in that persons head.thats the idea of it and the idea is based on money. its not made to please defones fanatics in the first place,fans who has been down since day one, but ijm sure there will be a couple of more wierd sick songs on the album for them

come on get over it. it's the production sound of the guitar, it seems like this is what you love about the deftones, it has change with producer, but not enough to tell it doesnt sound like deftones anymore. Terry date is known for it's guitar sound, but terry date isn't deftones.

i strongly disagree with this, they made the song for themselves, to make it sound good to them always first, with the huge exception of Back to school. YOu are tellin gme deftones sold ou ton this song ? i really disagree, chino just like catchy chorus and melodies.
ok so u think this song is the best song according to them? not likley. i bet there's more "hard to get" music on there, more artsy which they probably like better themsleves, but just know wont attract new fans.label decision. "make a hit!"

huh ? a musician can't appreciate poppier/catchier song of theirs ? liking a catchy chorus means you're not a real fan ? they all have to be super artsy and impossible to get to be good...
we are so not on the same page.
So far I could not be happier with how rocket skates and diamond eyes sound. Rocket skates sounds like a heavier white pony song and diamond eyes sounds like a saturday night wrist song but better than most of the songs on that cd. I wasnt a huge fan of SNW but was still a good cd. I really think this cd is going to be a mix of the last 3 albums before this one and like it or not bands evolve and sometimes choose different producers to evolve.
I think the people that don't like it could be just like the people who didnt like Hole in the Earth...That song was bad but SNW was still good. And I think most everyone is in agreement that Rocket Skates kicks ass. Let everyone have their opinion but try and wait to hear the whole cd before you count the band out or as sell outs please!

so?
i like the song very much but im afraid it wont stand the test of time. not sure though. just dont see the reason in debating this song as if it were the new deftones,its just one song and most important - its the song the label chose for a single to get much airplay. if they wanted to please themselves and otherdef-heads im sure they would have picked a song more complex that they were more proud of. have your opinion about the new deftones as a group, where they stand as a band 2010, when u got the whole record. not by this poppy label song (which is a nice little tune)
Yeah I agree totally man ^. I mean I liked hole in the earth the first few times but it became a skipable song very fast. THat may very well happen to this song as well but it is the single the label chose to get them airplay. Its a very accessible song and Im sure could get the tones a lot of new fans. I personally feel that its going to be a great record just because the deftones do not put out bad ones. :) its a new deftones cd. Dont bitch!

anyway, they started to write 'catchy and radio friendly choruses' on White pony 10 years ago, nothing new here.
and which deftones album has sold the most again?

what's the point ? Steph wasn,t happy with the changes from what i read, but the disk company never made any pressure for this kind of song, mostly chino wanting to write softer and catchier tune. i'm sure he loves all of them and probably prefer them from the more heavy tune like Elite, which sounds like it was written to make Steph happy.
but that's how i see it.
What's with the rumbling truck engine sounds in this song? Strangely, it adds to it.

im just saying that there is a connection between easy listening songs and the benjamins (well duh) and that they are going for it with this choice of a single

yes now i agree with you, but i won't agree if you say deftones wrote it with this in mind.
deftones+producer+label: they are a team, and that team have a goal in the end - to sell records. they try to sell records by advertising, and that advertasing is by singles n videos.its not the demo where hearing, its the final product of a song, and many people have touched it since it was regarded as the single to make it even more of a single
Wow. I used to come to post on this board back in the day, with a diff username. It has not changed. Deftones fans are just the most critical of all.
I just want to point out that the people who make explanations such as "oh this song is so not deftones," just need to realize that they are not in the band. The band chooses who they are, and where they will take themselves musically. Deftones is known to be a pretty experimental art rock type of band. It's all about getting the weirdest sounds, and this sound is pretty fucking weird ... and it's grand.
Expect to go back on your word within the next few months because I know all of you are gonna start posting "oh wow I GET IT NOW, this is some GREAT shit, and I love it." Which is okay, because that's why we are deftones fans. They are our number one team, and we will always continuously question and understand their music at different stages in our lives.
Also to the people that say this stuff is mainstream...and on purpose - can you just shut it. I don't think Chino sits down and is like ... oh let's make more mainstream music so I can please the world. Man, he's like one of the most self-indulgent musicians out there. The guy does not fucking care if his music makes mainstream or not. You think he was trying for that when he wrote White Pony? WRONG, the band got together and just laid some tracks down, and it happened to make some mainstreamers happy. They just make music ... and then people try to categorize it in the worst ways possible.
Next topic.
Everyone has been posting how these new songs are like White Pony and Around the Fur put together. I totally agree. You can almost feel the clash of the two albums. Sometimes I kind of get frustrated because it's a constant battle with Chino's melody versus Steph's anger. It's dynamic as fuck, but the songs aren't long enough for me to climax. I do enjoy the Finger of Death vibe in Diamond Eyes (Fuck that song needs to be studio released).
Oh and to end this post. Does anyone agree that this album could actually claim the name "Black Stallion"? It's a dark shade of white pony for sure.

The two songs I've heard sound nothing like Around the Fur or White Pony. It's a bunch of downtuned guitars in the same vein of S/T and SNW. Those are just a bunch of wishful thinking people trying to capture the past. The deftones will never make another White Pony or ATF. If you took Rocket Skates and put it on ATF, it would be totally out of place. Different tuning, different singing and feel. I'd suspect that all of the songs are going to be similar.

naw, i still dont agree, they made Hexagram and bloody cape a single for f sake instead of a more radio friendly one like deathblow for s/t. i think the bands has a big enough following so the disk company mostly give them carte blanche and i'm pretty sure the label don't interfere with the writing and recording process, they get the result and choose the song that they think might reach new fans to expend, but they don,t force the band to spew bullshit they are not into for the benjamins and change song structure to make them more accessible. we are not talking about britney spears and i'm pretty sure deftones wouldnt tolerate that.
but thats me, i might be naive.

i actually don't want a new white pony or ATF, but if it sounds a lil bit like s/t i'm all for it lol. we are in 2010, not in 1998. But come on, i really can hear a ATF vibe from Rocket Skates.
As an old member I have to say, STOP BITCHING.
Seriously.

some like the song,some dont like it,some love it, same hate it.nuthin strange bout that. but... everyone seems to agree on one thing: that it IS quite radio friendly and mainstream sounding.and im afraid u cant change the fact that people feel so, and why should u.
finger of death is prob my favourite deftones song but that song is full of agony and misery, and the whay he sings..man,youre concerned he might commit suicide. chino said it had too many parts thrown together and didnt flow right... to compre that to DE, a song with few parts and the singing is like a lullaby for a baby.. i cant see the resemblance...but hey, both good songs,
in their own way

Dude with the "classic deftones sound vagina" shut the fuck up. If you don't like ther new stuff just stick the first four albums. Quit bitchin cuz they move on and your obviously are stuck in the past.
That was mean, fyihyd
Nah, wasn't meant to be mean. Like i've said, I totally feel your complaints, man. The sound of the guitar just sounds too darn dark and too chunky, it almost feels like a robot plays it. Woop, ok, that description nails it for me. Whereas on the first 4 albums you hear and
feel steph is playing, it's getting harder and harder with every album to hear him actually playing the guitar. The first sign for me was Rats!Rats!Rats and now he has almost lost his complete identity. He just sounds fucking cold and computer-like now. And that's the main difference for me between songs like Engine No.9 or Headup and RS. On Headup you can almost hear the rage and anger, but on RS and DE you hear
just heavy guitars. You know, i'll guess it has nothing to do with what he's playing, it's just about the sound and how it's produced.
BUT, i'm totally fine with it. Yes, he totally lost the identity of the previous tunes, but i'm fucking ready for something completely different. And it's not that different anyway, it just sounds tighter than ever, the dynamics are still there and that's why I love them. And I know you just wanted to point out your concerns/thoughts/feelings about that guitar-issue, and that was totally fine with me. I'm not sure, but you like the new tunes anyway, right?
So... are we cool again, bro? :)
PS: I know my english sucks btw. I'm just too fucking tired atm. Hope you can still understand it nevertheless.

The sound of the guitar just sounds too darn dark and too chunky, it almost feels like a robot plays it. Woop, ok, that description nails it for me. .
i totally agree, maybesomething like this? (http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq20/jesusinabowlofdirt/defbandtermcopy.jpg)
the band rehearsing diamond eyes
rofl
*wet pants*
after laughing for some minutes I actually found this interesting. Let's think about it, if a crazy fanatic wants to kill steph for whatever reason he just puts a bullet in his head and it over, like some stupid made with dimebag. But if that was terminator his/its face would reform in a matter of seconds.
I don't know about you, but I definetively want that shit in the band. And get him the blurry background for stage prescence.

lmao wtf?
I'm sorry, but all this talk of people not hearing the "Deftones sound" is stupid. Why WOULD you want them to have the same albums everytime? Isn't progression/change good? "Everything in its right place" sounds nothing like "Creep"... "I believe" sounds nothing like "Only Shallow"[my bloody valentine] etc etc.
Every album is so different from each other anyways, so stop the complaining and wait for the whole album to be released.
I definitely feel that each Deftones album has its own character and feel but there is always this subtle hint of the Deftones personality running throughout the back of it that can be felt. I definitely feel this dichotomy with "Rocket Skates" and I have yet to listen to "Diamond Eyes" but I feel like the whole album will be congruent to the rest in this sense but I won't know until I hear it. So far, I'm feeling very positive about this album.

and did the artwork and design of the selftitled and the B sides & rarities
Currently bumpin Diamond Eyes, and the official album art is SICK. Check for the track DL and official cover art next Tue @ www.deftones.com (http://www.deftones.com)
http://twitter.com/sidelongmedia (http://twitter.com/sidelongmedia)
Argh, I can't fucken wait. Diamond Eyes is brilliant, I seriously don't get why people think their sound has gone? it's Deftones all over it and then some.
I'm trying not my best to listen to the new track Diamond Eyes until the album comes out...only heard Rocket Skates so far (which I'm really liking)...but can't understand all the hate surrounding the released songs, the yet to be revealed cover art, the sound of the album. Most of these haven't even been released yet and there are already such strong opinions. And even if you're basing your opinion solely on two tracks ... then yes the band changes their sound from album to album...and it's those leaps and chances the band takes that creates an album like White Pony...i mean each album has ALWAYS been drastically different. You may not like like SNW or the Self Titled - but there's no denying that they each had their own specific sound and feel to them...and clearly define each phase the band has gone through. So if anything I'm glad to hear and read that they're still trying newer and better things instead of re-hashing what they've already done and beating it to death to a point where I can't even listen to their original music anymore. Just my opinion ...and it's great to see the band putting this much effort in trying to create some excitement for this album - because things were pretty slack and depressing around these parts in the last year or so after chi's accident. So good shit - I'm fucking pumped for MAY 2010 and the supreme summer I'm going to have after it.
Diamond Eyes - Deftones cover (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofVFcgsuKx8#)
Nice guitar cover of the song.
Thanks to the fact I can hear the chords more clearly, I start digging that chorus more.
so much for Steph doing the effects in the chorus. it's even more clear now that it's Frank.
that was a pretty sweet cover by johnoden
Very sweet.

i totally wanna try some bass lines for this biatch.
Steph is the best at creating simple songs that stand the test of time. BQ&D is so simple yet so incredible.
BQAD might be the best thing he ever wrote. i think it's their best song, and my fav song so maybe i'm bias

1- bqad
2- digital
Listened to the full thing.
This record is a pure masterpiece. No bullshit, here. It is musical excellence.
Royal and CMND/CTRL make me want to fight someone. Those pits are gonna be insane. You've Seen the Butcher is groovy. Loving Prince's weirdness. Risk is catchy. Frank's cathedral organs on TPID are beautiful.
I really wanna hear it, is it there best album on first listen??
The most original thing they've ever put out.
Too early for me to call personally but it's really fucking amazing. I will say that it's Chino's best vocal performance since WP. For sure.
I hope theres some weird atmospheric stuff on there....like Riviere or Digital Bath
Quote from: Inkblades on Mar 19, 2010, 12:47 PM

Not the best screamings, though, but yes, the other vocal skills are more than back.
I need like 50,000 headbanging smiley icons for the end of Royal.
And Frank? All I gotta say is holy fuck.
Only one regret:
Too bad there's not a song more than 5minutes long. But they're all worth thousands of listen.
verse of prince remind me of rxqueen.

Fuckin Royal is amazing
Is that a little small guitar solo i hear from one stephen carpenter?
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!
This will be hard to top as best album of 2010 for me...
Also, i'm SO buying this... thanks for the awesome music deftones
jesus christ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Royal might already be one of my favorite Deftones songs ever.
royal and prince are awesome,one of their best.
truly amazing perfomance by chino... again he changed his vocalsstyle/sound. Every album he reinvents himself, maybe even moreso than Patton...

On first listen, i'd say this is there best album yet, White Pony is a distant memory!......although i still love it!
For my this is their third pillar next to ATF and White Pony. Oh yes. Incredible.

I would have been with you about DIamond Eyes ( the song ). But you obviously can't listen to music.
this is the best thing ive heard from the deftones
11 perfect songs !!
also beauty shcool...such a lovely song
How could you hate this album??? its the album we've all been waiting for since White Pony??....Truly an amazing album!
I'll piss people off... But I still want Eros.
We all want Eros....hopefully we don't have to wait too long!
Diamond Eyes makes me ask myself why i liked Saturday Night Wrist so much, i think i just love them too much!
I must admit when i listen to the new album i just think about Chi

Hahaha. This is awful. It hurts to see these bands associated to this album...
Yes. I'm disappointing. At first, I thought it was a fake. Maybe the rip is really low quality, either the production is really horrific... :x
I don't understand the comparison with White Pony. I only hear the soft side of SNW with the sound of any shitty metalcore band with some P.O.D.'s chorus hahaha.
This is a nightmare.

I think both Beauty School and Risk have chances of doing well as singles.
dude, sextape
dudes
come on
sextape
its a deftones classic !!!
Maybe its because im listening to it for the first time, but damn this actually may unseat ATF as my favorite album. I def did not feel like this after i listened to SNW no where near. every second is fuckin amazing
So, in my lost 2 hours of the internet, this happened... Anyone knows how it leaked ?
Am not asking for a link, am good with that, just curious on how it happened...
this album is obviously frank's best work
also, people should learn some guitar lessons from stef
awesome work, a new sound and its very good
thanks deftones

Oh shit. I'm downloading this. Impossible to wait two more months when there's a good quality leak.
REQUESTING THE HOOK UP.
i really really love it, but i know many fans will despise it and hate it with passion.
this is a shame. This is exactly what i secretly wanted deftones to make.

Your right, no one will ever speak of Purple Rain again.....its now Diamond Eyes time!
way too tempting
my favs now
- sextape (CLASSIC)
- cmnd/ctrl (WTF dude, awesome riffs, awesome vocals)
- royal
- beauty school
- risk
- prince
- you ve seen the butcher
- 976
- tpd
OK, Risk is gorgeous too... Am loving every second of everything till now !
Magnificent, I can't wait to have the actual album in my hands !!!!!!
OK, so is 976-Evil, magnificent too.... OK, I will stop commenting song per song, cause it all rocks too much ! :D
as much i was disappointed at snw after the first listen, im as amazed after the first listen at DE. at times jaw dropping.
royal, oh man music doesnt get any better than this,makes adrenaline pump thruough my veins makes my head spin,
fuck i dont know whats up or down.and what an awesome ending.
prince cool and beautiful as fuck, got som lovers vibes. and risk is an absolutely fantasic song with beautiful effects.
not a big fan of sextape thou,kinda team sleepish. although would fit as acloser
the synths and effects are so great in this record i almost suspects it isnt frank, maybe some professional producer guy at times
lets start a pool and choose the best songs..
but every song is so special
if the chorous part of ''beauty school'' was better, it would be one of the best song deftones ever written with bqad and digital bath
Crazy how the album leaked even before we've seen the album art.
I wonder if they'll push the release date up now.

I second Jesusinabowlofdirt.
I already know I love this album but I don't know it enough to state which part is the best to me.
after the first couple of songs it def. starts to get softer, very emotional. lovely stuff. totally not like any other record of deftones. thats why I love it. thank you so much!
This Place is Death is trippy.
I can't resist. I'm gonna download it.
Is that me or CMND/CTRL really sounds like oldschool bouncing metal stuff ?
btw the second half is less catchy imo. harder to get into. I love that, cause thats gonna be the songs I'll love AFTER the catchyness of the first half wears off. listened to it one time all the way through now and I will listen to it two or three times tonight with friends before going out. yessss

Holy shit, the scream at the end of Royal. I just got chills. Shiiiiiit.
damn, it leaked?
I think some heads have to roll at Warner today!
so fucking sad this happened so early
shit this album has made me post more here than in the last five years. I remember when my post count was over 6000 or something haha.
<3 fuck this album is good. for me, SNW was the only album that didnt feel 'whole', you know, one unique sound, whereas the other records all feld unique. SNW felt like a mix of different sounds.
but Diamond Eyes... fuck it feels cohersive. fucking awesome

well i have been running around the house to it so i'm not 100% focused but there's nothing like rats rats rats, when girls telephone boys, elite, anything like that. just a bit strange. i mean its good and they're much more dynamic it seems but at least give me one balls puncher.
Rats is horrible.

there is little to no metal here. i don't know how to feel. stephen can't be feeling this.
did you listen royal, cmdn/ctrl, risk,prince and 976 ?
well i have been running around the house to it so i'm not 100% focused but there's nothing like rats rats rats, when girls telephone boys, elite, anything like that. just a bit strange. i mean its good and they're much more dynamic it seems but at least give me one balls puncher.
Royal is very compareable to eilte
Quote from: theis on Mar 19, 2010, 02:59 PM
Rats is horrible.
and this
Word.
seems my girlfriend was misleading me a little. i am loving it but not too many screams here. either way another awesome album.
Sextape = second boner
wow this is a weird album
royal ending scream = chinos most brutal scream ive ever heard
It really is weird. That's why it's so damn great.
Royal pretty much brought a tear to the eyes lol. Fucking incredible song.
i'm going to reserve judgment until i get a good listen with my headphones in a dark room with a joint, what i do for all their albums.
Chi will be proud.
can someone be a kind lad and PM the link?
I'd greatly appreciate it, thank you :)
The heavier songs sound so much different than what I'm used to frm them (most of my favorite songs being their softer ones) but I'm loving this.
who can try to write the lyrics ??
ill be very grateful
please...
now im loving you ve seen the butcher, its a very different song
also prince and risk..wow
Incredible album. Not a single weak song.
Downloading now :)

Definitely. There are a very small number of albums that I dont skip any songs on, and this will probably be one of them. Songs grow on me more and more. Ahhhh, new Deftones...
can I get a PM link? Please, I won't tell! ;)

Come on, we waited three and a half years. It does suck for them but it should be expected when they give it to the press so early. I'll make it up to them by buying three copies on release day.
For me it's an huge explosion of anger, love, romance, vitality and a lot more. It's like every member had TOO MUCH to contribute, but they successfully achieved to mix everything to a natural... thing. Everything just fits. Truly unbelievable, absolutely not what I'd expected. What a rich sound, so much textures, so old school (at times), but so futuristic and new. There's just not a single song I don't like. And I can't mention one song that's awesome, because for now they're almost equally awesome. I'm totally blown away. THAT'S the reason why these guys are unique. God, I'll listen the shit out of it for the next month.

%100 agreed
i skip at least 2-3 songs for every album, but this one is a masterpiece
Just started Royal, only 40 seconds in and oh my fucking God.
Already one of the best Deftones songs I've ever heard.
It's literally a mix of Adrenaline (yes) / ATF / WP / newness despite that nobody (including myself) believed it...
On to the rest...
been through all this tempting shit with s/t and snw, but tbh now i can really wait till the album comes out. really wish i had with the last 2.

Well said. That sums it up. A lot of it is quite "new", but it's still Deftones. Very diverse too in its sound. Like you said, a huge mix of emotions. On another note...Prince and Sextape are probably my favorites. Ah...I'm liking this album. I aint surprised it leaked though. I was actually wondering why it hadnt leaked, what with all the reviews. I'm sure most Deftones fans will actually buy the album anyways though (unless they dont like it). So it's all good.
I shat my pants when I heard the cowbell in Royal.
Really good upbeat positive music(I was expecting ST part 2). Top to bottom just amazing music and it gets 10x better with every listen.(I didnt like risk on the first listen, now its one of my favorites) I almost cant enjoy it completely, knowing it ws released in such good quality 2 months in advance. Hopefully they release it on itunes sooner.

i agree its sad but its happening for a few years now. So.. its not "IF" its going to leak, but "WHEN"..
sad but.. well.. i dont think its going to hurt the numbers of copies they are going to sell.. everyone seems stoked about it..
So far YSTB remind me of Deathblow (but better)..not finished yet though.
im gonna buy 2 diamond eyes album
one for me
one for my beautiful
sextape,royal easly makes people cry
Honestly, even if it did leak, it's not going to stop me from going out and buying it on the release date. I'm one of those fans that will do that shit. And I'm sure most real fans feel the same way. I really think that this album will do very well.
Man this is such a nice thing to wake up to ;D

I'm especially curious about your opinion, man. Y'know, about the guitar thingy. Imo we were worried about nothing. And that makes me happy as fuck. lol I have to laugh about the Terminator-Steph again. Shit was so cash.
i'll for sure be buying this album but that was a for sure anyway.
Into track 3. so far this does not sound like them, but you know its them. its just wow!!
Diamond Eyes is officially my new favourite Deftones song. The chorus is fuckin' amazing and Stephs guitar work is just perfect. He really has mastered the rythm aspect of his guitar playing. I love how he's made Meshuggah-esque riffs sound more melodic and fit into some beautiful songs.
But anyway, anyone who's trying to stand on the moral high ground and say that this is a bad day for Deftones is deluding themselves. 1. They don't make hardly any cash off album sales, so what does it matter?
The positive aspect to this leak is the outrage that it's been leaked so early and the momentum of it being passed around to new fans or potential new fans will be huge. Thus bringing more people to their shows. Which is what it's all about it. Anyone who likes an album enough will go out and buy it anyway.

Yeah I was worried, and although I still don't hear that specific Deftones classic guitar (still hard to describe/explain but it's obvious to hear for me), the songs so far put a lot of my fears to rest. It does still have a lot of effect sounds of old Deftones, and the guitar in some of the songs so far does sound at least similar to older Tones (I'm only on Prince). I love this thing so far, it's unbelievable really. I will update again with my thoughts on the rest! Hope everyone is enjoying!
BTW, absolutely buying this..I buy every Deftones/311/Sevendust album even after it leaks :)
everyone heard it and it will sell better
im gonna buy 2 cd

It's probably because Steph is on the 8-string guitars now. They sound mega beefy, cutting and precise, they need to be in order to ring out such low tunings! ;)

Agreed, but the first half of the album I've now heard was surprisingly less heavy than I thought and reminded more of that light guitar/less bassy sound of Adrenaline for example...or many classic rock band albums that don't have all the crazy bass/production like older Offspring or something. I love this.
OH, and Chino's voice is on point, he is seriously back and I hope he never loses it again. He is incredible and I'm impressed.
I really wish he could read this, I really want to shake his hand and say "congratulations for sounding so great again". Although I'm sure his latest live performances prove it, I just hope his voice is back in live shows just as much as it has been lately as well.

No offence dude, but I hope he doesn't read this for that very comment you just made. ;)
I saw Deftones in 2006, at a club gig, 2 hours plus. Chino owned it, they played a normal set then the whole of Adrenaline and his voice was perfect throughout, SNW recordings followed suit not so long after that. It's not just down to how he sings, it's down to production values on his vocals and I don't think they were at their best on S/T or SNW. But whoever did them on this record, they brought the best out in him again.

hopefully most people here will buy it anyways but it's shocking for me to see that Warner did/does this big online marketing for them but can't manage to keep the album from leaking so early! even shitty record labels manage to keep a record from leaking before the offical release day!
on the effect of the album leaking: who cares? sooner or later music is available online.
the positive effect is that the record gets more attention and shows that there still is a demand for deftones music
Quote from: Subliminal on Mar 19, 2010, 03:45 PM
Anyone who likes an album enough will go out and buy it anyway.
and this is not true. there is always the money question.
but you are right with pointing out that they might gain new fans and hopefully the shows will attract more people
a link please---
can someone please pm me the link
you've seen the butcher is kinda the same as the 2008 file demo? Fucking 17 minutes I have to wait...

You can't tell me he hasn't been awful live at times..just take a look at Youtube my friend. I think there was that Digital Bath performance on late night, he couldn't sing up high at all, kept cracking. And this was the only song so he wasn't stressing his voice prior at all.
Also that drunk performance he had that Vesanic put up. I think maybe Waldrock?
And I saw them in CT right after SNW came out and he definitely did not sound that good...all he could do was substitute squeals for any of his screams. But his latest performances since mid-late '09 have been sooo much better.
Not to mention there are plenty other performances since S/T and SNW came out where he hasn't been able to do anything. There was a specific Hexagram at an outside show where he just couldn't do it at all. But I'm just sayin..

I'm tempted to rename "You've seen the butcher" to "nylon and suspenders".........
How does a human being even hit a high note like the one on 976-Evil?
EDIT: Haha nevermind you're way too strict about that.
dl-ing...
In the words of Red Leader: Almost there...almost there....
I'm in class right now fuck. Thanks for the message rock n frost!!!
loving the song Prince. Can't wait to bump this shit on the way home from work today. :D
Anyone hook a brotha up? Megaupload or RS preferably.
edit: Sorted, thanks.

hopefully most people here will buy it anyways but it's shocking for me to see that Warner did/does this big online marketing for them but can't manage to keep the album from leaking so early! even shitty record labels manage to keep a record from leaking before the offical release day!
on the effect of the album leaking: who cares? sooner or later music is available online.
the positive effect is that the record gets more attention and shows that there still is a demand for deftones music
Quote from: Subliminal on Mar 19, 2010, 03:45 PM
Anyone who likes an album enough will go out and buy it anyway.
and this is not true. there is always the money question.
but you are right with pointing out that they might gain new fans and hopefully the shows will attract more people
That's the whole point isn't it? to get people to listen to your music and come watch you perform it. Not watch some stupid music video.. which I'm sure the band loathes doing, but it's a part of their contract to do so :)
I know that my desire...nay, need, to hear this far exceeds my moral compass not to listen. Even still, I think we all owe it to the Deftones to buy this album when it comes out. And not only that, but keep this little happening to ourselves as much as we can.
its ok stapzee
where is iceache ?
he can write the all lyrics

Mods, I'm going to post a bandsvideos link, where people can go to find a download link.
I think it's fair since there are tons of illegal bootlegs, there, and I'm not posting a direct link.
So here it is:

It's still a link that takes you straight to the download link.

Wow...Beauty School. :'(
I might be weird, but i realllllyyyy love the album, but sextape is not my cup of tea, i really don't know...
so this is def. the best chino's voice has sound since WP.
I mean, ST was overproduced and you could hear Chino trying to sing through all his fat on SNW, but this is better ya know. maybe cause of production, I dunno, but it works.

So far.. 2 tracks into it.. Diamond Eyes shits all over SNW.. like.. it's like they said.. HEY SNW.. FUCK YOU.. THIS ALBUM IS BALLS TO THE WALL. YOU SUCK.. K BYE!
Yes but as far as ocean/water themed Deftones songs go...
Cherry Waves > Sextape
My favorite songs on the album in order (upon first listen):
1) Prince - damn this song is good. damn.
2) Royal - damn this song is good.
3) Beauty School - beautiful
yes, I like heavier deftones.
a bit dissapointed with Prince. RX QUEEN RIP
I'm lovin it so far...
I'm suprised this isn't mastered all Shitty, the way most WB releases have been lately.

I don't know.. Sextape is pretty fucking good. I just can't believe how good this album is.. and I'm listening on shitty computer speakers at work.. During Risk a co-worker came up and was like what is that? It's really good..
been waiting for an album like this, love it
i actuyally like the album, very much. but there's really lot of rip off songs. Risk = Passanger RIP
Beauty School is fucking pretty.

The beginning of Risk actually reminded me of Birthmark (I think it was that). But Risk's my favorite song so ah well.
Prince vocals do sound a little like rx queen! Its a good song still I love it!
I'm getting into 976 atm. The melody Chino sings sounds so soothing.
if there was Matrix 4 whic song would be soundtrack for it ?
I hope the final product is not changed at all from this..any chance of that?
A few listens to the whole album now, ROYAL is perhaps one of the best things I've ever heard...oh my God
God I love this!!!!!!
Royal is definitely sick as all hell.

they better not fuck with this, i think they know it,s good already, they won,t modify it just because it leaked
I'm not listening to this thing until I have it physically but I just checked the leak in Winamp and apparently this album is only 41:06. That's a little disappointing but I guess that its pretty good for an album that was conceived, written, and recorded in such a relatively short time for the Deftones. Still I was hoping for at least 45 minutes. I know that's not a big difference but it could be a whole extra song. Anyway, I can't wait to get it.
I just got home. Downloading right now. I have no doubt that it will be anything short of amazing.
well this totally saved my shitty week.
...though i guess some of us have to be the "bad guys".
awesome songs, awesome vocal performance, great arrangements.
but i think the album lacks of dinamics as the other albums havent. to my ears, the second half of the album is just to plane on this matter. they are only midtempo songs. i surely missed some straight ass riffing coming out of steph. i know though, this types of songs dont required them, and probably what ive missed was left on eros. but anyways, im being straight up. this is certainly the most laidback album ive heard from deftones, wich is cool, cause it gives it so much identity, givin all that happend in past years.
now more than ever, theres a very thin line between team sleep and deftones.
dont get me wrong, i love this, some songs as always. will become new deftones classics.
but ill say it again, i missed the heavyness.
I think Risk is the only song that reminds me of SNW vocal wise.. not saying its bad.. just some of the notes he hits in that song.
Maybe they'll release the physical earlier now that the leak is out

i'm in love with the album yet i kinda agree with you. I think they just had to add on insane pure metaller with screams from start to finish during the second half and the album wouldn't miss anything..a song like Korea...yet i don't really car ebcause it has so much to offer.
someone please send me a link, ive been waiting so long!!!! thank you all!!
Damn! hard to decide... I was like :( when I fist listened to... Beauty school, after that I got more surprised wit Sextape... these songs are dark,melodic, and very optimistic... loved it! :)

no idea what the hell you're talking about... what notes specifically? (and how is it possible for a certain note to be exclusive to any one deftones album... good God...)
Jesus Christ that scream at the end of Royal. God Damn
Hell yeah that scream is awesome! It reminds me of Elite.

yeah yeah, at first i thought: damn this feels unbalanced or what?.
then i came to realize that: no. this IS a chilled album. so take it for what it is, and not for what you expected to hear.
Beauty School is the most Euphoric thing I've ever heard. Deftones are 20 years ahead of their time. Absolutely Brilliant.

how can it be sick if it doesn't have that "classic deftones guitar sound" that you find it impossible to be able to coherently describe?

Its the same style but they tweaked it. But the original sounded too team sleepish this is more Deftones
This is great, best thing I've heard from them since Atf in my opinion. Not their heaviest by far (don't get me wrong, they still bring the heavy with some great riffs and breakdowns) but just really, really good. It seems to feel a bit brighter emotionally than the last couple albums. I'm getting a bit of a Quicksand vibe from parts of Risk and I do hear a bit of a Pumpkins sound on some songs. It's very diverse also, can't wait to get out of work so I can really turn it up. It really is a great album, I'll be listening to this until I completely wear it out :)
And yes, I'll be there day 1 to buy it.

Is this album heavier than SNW and White Pony?
it doesn't have a Korea/Elite or a Rapture/Rats on it, meaning there's no one or two songs that are straight heavy (both instrumentally and vocally)
however, I think that as a whole, Chino's screams take a backseat to his pure singing on this record, but the instruments remain heavy with less "Teenager" and "Pink Cellphone" BS
help?

Please, proper answer?
i'd say a LITTLE bit heavier, but thats my opinion.
I already complimented on it earlier, but Chino's voice on this seriously sounds like he's 10 years younger. The processing on it in some songs is still the same as always too, good shit. I love it.

Yep, I think so. So musically it is but vocally it's less? Well that's disappointing to read but from the comments it seems there's enough Chino power.

Yep that pretty much sums it up
don't worry, Chino rips off a few insanely awesome screams so it's not all "light"
Who gets a Will haven feel on the second track?Called Royal i think?

Absolutely. I love Will Haven :)
It sounds a lot like one of the Will Haven songs with the previous new singer (Jeff) actually, not Grady (but I read that Grady is back now ever since the Chi benefit!!!)
I don't understand why people would even compare this album to ones that came 10 and 13 years ago. Yes it obviously sounds like the newer albums but it's much more focused. That's the main difference.
Prince has such a grunge feel, fucking make it a single.
Well, finished listening to it for the first time. Royal and Sex Tape are definite winners in my book.

im with you.
Yeah I feel bummed, but I still downloaded it. As long as I know I'll buy it it shouldn't be a problem.
Chino was right about the whole night time feel of the album. Loving it.
dude, we live in a different era, most bands dont really make dough from record sales, usually it's from touring, I mean, most bands understand this now, hence why they allow you to download tracks for free on the internet.
Aww man someone please link me all im gettin off google is adverts to join torrent sites??? Anyone.... id be greatful :'(

yeah but if a band don't sell any record the label might not want to resign them (look at Machine head, they had to release one of their albm on an european label because no one wanted them, it finally came out in the states)
dont get me wrong, I will buy this album, but I am also enjoying it today
WOW I JUST HEARD THE ALBUM..MY JAW IS STILL DROPPED ..FUCKING WOW..ITS FUCKING EVIL MAN, I WAS SAD BECASUE I THOUGHT I WAS GUNNA HAVE TO GO TO AFGHANISTAN WITH SKATES AND EYES BUT I GOT THE WHOLE FUCKING THING, A GREAT SOUNDTRACK FOR KILLIN HAJIIS

I wanna watch you close

I watch you taste and I see your face
And I know I'm alive
your shooting stars from the barrel of your eyes
it drives me crazy
just drives me wild
I kinda like you when
when you make up them real
take the phone in your room
stop the tape i'll resume
well you could try if you think it will load
I watch you taste and I see your face
And I know I'm alive
your shooting stars from the barrel of your eyes
it drives me crazy

Every time, every time you try

covered in black and gold
no one cares, no one knows
my gift to the world outside

here comes the flood

then you clear out the room
blow kisses wave them good bye
good night

For a thousand days
you've been staring away
are you faint
are you thinking
crack a smile and wink
it doesn't scare me away
hit the brakes
i feel like losing you
to you
So I gaze
in your eyes
and I wonder
can you take me up
your hands that im under
come wake me up soon
take a bow and wave
as we carry away
it was great
but Im not leaving
crack a smile and wink
it still doesnt scare me away
hit the brakes
i feel like losing you, to you
So I gaze in your eyes
and I wonder, can you take me up
your hands that im under
come wake me up
for a thousand days
we could get carried away
are you in
are you in
are you in(are you in)
(id give anything)
(id give anythign for you)
So I gaze in your eyes
and I wonder can you take me up
your hands that im under
come wake
so i gaze in your eyes
and i wonder can you take me up

This Place is Death
-----------------------------------
You arrived in my dream
beside me every night
you were me, we explode to the sea
we try to drink the knife empty
no one ever goes off in every way
like you do
we got together
we weaved our web
tangled in the waves
we've *expected* to see red
we both erupt in colors
and carve our names
you keep me aroused
i know you feel the same
You arrived in my dream
beside me every night
just you and me, we explode to the sea
we try to drink the knife empty
no one else has a hold over me
like you do
you open up the covers
you lure me in
tackle me anxious back into bed
where I hope to discover all of her ways
this place is death
I know you feel the same
you arrived in my dream
beside me every night
just you and me
we explode through the sea
we try to drink the knife every way

Agree 100%. Might even buy it even twice if there is an itunes exclusive track. Once for physical cd/art, once for exclusive track etc.
The album is fucking SICK. something for everybody on it. Royal is great but CMND/CTRL is brilliant.
Deftones tour de force....
Come oooon. Is using Google really that hard? I found the album in 5 seconds, but I don't want to download it yet...
I will buy it. For sure. But a leak that soon isn't cool. And I'll just HAVE to download it soon... Oh well :)
wow lyrics too??a great freakin day!!!!!!!!!!!
Is somebody else doing chorus with Chino on Sextape? Im loving that tune... for real.
On Royal his voice is also very different... sounds like another guy doing verses.
And 2 I still don't dig: 976-EVIL and This Place is Death.
CMND/CTRL is very nu-metalish (I dont like that) but still good (imo).
Risk, Sextape, You've Seen The Butcher, Royal, Diamond Eyes and Rocket Skates my favs.
This Place is Death is one of the best deftones songs ever.
ahh... stereo new deftones diamond eyes album this is sooooooo cool... :D 8)
WOAH! weird fade out into guitara you've seen the butcher mad.... EEEEEK!!!
976-EVIL :)
I likes...
some of their best work ever. a much more mature sound. i'm loving it to no end. always pays off to be a deftones fan...except the 4 years between thing. i'll be right there at the record store on may 18th and of course i know in the years to come i'll be buying many more copies, as i do all my cd's.
PLEASE could somebody send me a link to this new record? I honestly got some really SAD news today and have been bummed all day and then some. This could really cheer me up and could be the best time to hear this. Don't worry bought every record n single thus far and will buy these soon. But please hook it up if u could . Thank you

I find that the album has a story.. I want to skip Rocket Skates.. but its cool to listen to Prince>RS>SexTape
D Eyes is still my fave..sextape thats magic stuff
it definitely has a cohesive vibe to it. for all the ups and downs it comes together as a full record. covers a spectrum and feels complete which is nice. happens pretty rarely i find.

yeh same with me but thats cuz ive heard it a million times..still megaawesome tho
im listenin to xtape...for the 5th time
I'm in love with Prince right now!!

I think the same way.
By the way, I think Frank's work is shit in this album, I mean, it's pretty simple... not big deal. I thought the opossite on SNW, that was a Frank's album, this is Stef's.
Deftones will issue a 7″ for their track "Rocket Skates" with an M83 remix of the title track serving as the b-side. The outing will be released through Warner and will be limited to 3000 copies."

DOPE SHIT!!!!!!!!!
IM HEARING ON ROYAL....
"remove your veil... Im on your team"
for what Ive heard from the album (about half of it) I feel it very 90s... Jawbox/Pixies maybe even Garbage style.
Anyone feels the same?
Is that being released here in the States?
Ok, Sextape = single material
Quote from: mikau on Mar 19, 2010, 10:27 PM

Royal I think.... :) for sure
I was up til 5am this morning, played the album 3 about 8 times......i can't stop drooling, Sextape is probably the most Beautiful Deftones song ever!
I think "You've Seen the Butcher" is the song "Nylon and Suspenders", the slow sluggish song deftones have never done according to Chino.
man, that's a great album

I agree with ! I honestly think they made bad choices for the singles.well rocket skates was cool as a preview track. but instead of diamond eyes they should have went wtih "beauty school" or "royal" maybe royal as the first single and beauty school as secong...I hope that after dyamond eyes "beauty school" gets released as a single.that track. sextape is also great but I think two mellow single are too much so I would prefer beauty as single instead of sextape.

I really like that song, could be a single but prob not.
i'm REALLY GLAD there's no lucky you or pink cellphone type song. those are ok, but i didn't want another one. let holy ghost do those. and no pro tools is sounding amazing
and towards the end of royal, can that be considered a guitar solo? i think maybe

Im noticing lots of time signature changing in this album think theyre (Steph) using messhuggahs time signatures

i felt very Disappointed whit this album... Definitively i didnt like it ... :'(
Whaaaaaaaaaat? Why not? I mean, different opinions and all, but damn.
What he cant a have a different opinion as you?
Well after listening to the whole album with good headphones I must say that this album is a mixed of ATF,Self titled and WP.
At first I didnt like it, maybe because of shitty headphones @ work but holy shit I cant wait to buy it.
Great album my favorite songs by far are:
Royal (Holy shit that final scream)
Prince (I do agree with some of your saying is kinda like RxQueen)
Rocketskates (Of course since it was the first taste of the album)
Diamond Eyes (I didnt like the chorus but musically is great)
Sextape (Teamsleep sound and sounds great)
It is a great album and it has a NINish vibe which makes it much fucking better. Great day New Deftones and My Order of God of War 3 Ultimate is on route ;D :D

Course he can, that's why I didnt say that he's wrong for it.
But yeah, so even the songs that I liked but didnt love are now growing on me, so this is...9 new songs that I'ma be listening to for...oh, 12 hrs or something. This should be fun. I'm blown away by this album though.
track 5 makes me think of my sister
i really miss her

This is probably the most coherent Deftones album to date.
can someone pm me a link PLEASE
what the fuck happened on this album , i love every single second of it , absolutely perfect
waiting to have the cd on my hands
Solid...They've evolved like whoa... Its for sure something new to swallow... I'm loving every second and havent even heard the whole things yet...
i'm glad this is getting a warmer reception than the last record but it does indeed deserve it more.
This album now. New Dillinger monday. Hell yeah.

If Beauty School doesn't become a single.. there's something wrong with WB... The drums.. the guitars.. the vocals.. the bass lines.. everything in that song is fucking perfect
The drums in that song really stick out.
good call. i thought about doing that with diamond eyes as well but i couldn't wait for this shit. greatness.

Mmmm I have one of the extra songs if u want it.
Anyway since there are lots of DEP fans here I will upload it on their thread. Great album, been listening to it nonstop all week.
cmnd/cntrl is their shortest song of any album
CMND/CTRL sounds like a b-side from Adrenaline. So awesome.
it is pretty freakin sweet
i figured Risk would be average by the impressions some reviews gave, but it's awesome
GOOSEBUMPS...Every song....Fantastic...Pure Genius...I dunno if its cause weve waited so long or were just excited its new Deftones but it sounds amazing...We say it for every album but this actually has a feel to it that hits home...Doesnt sound like they were tryin very hard...Has a very natural feel to it...Chinos voice and singing sound effortless...Some of his best to date IMO...Still cant get over how amazing this is..And again not just saying it because its a new Deftones album...
Shits so dope dude I can't stop listening so amazeing
the boys killed this album

You know what the best part is?
It's
not because we've waited so long.
It's because it really,
really is that album we've been waiting for. :)
I'm waiting for the CD to drop to listen, but the idea that the album is out there makes me twitch a little, I can't lie. I'm stoked at the welcome it is getting here though.
Much respect,

Damn right. Risk is one of my favorites.
I have not stopped listening since 4pm today. This album blows me away. It is impossible to pick a favorite and they all fit together so well! Anybody else notice there is only like a half second break between songs? Think this is how the real album will be?
As an aside, we gotta' give sergio a little love. Killer bass line on prince, "mindset of a killer". This album made my whole fucking year...

Oi, this is sound logic, which makes it just that much harder to wait. Day 1 and I'm a little dizzy. I've never listened to leaked Deftones stuff before besides the clips from S/T. I remember a little piece of me wishing that I hadn't listened to the clips once I gave the album a listen. Regret plagues both paths I'm afraid--but I won't regret anything if I'm dead, haha. Not an easy call for me.

they were/are marketing so much because it's so fucking good.
is this album better then WP?
Top 3
1.SEXTAPE
2.Prince
3.Youve Seen The Butcher
Im sure the order will change throughout the night...

Can we really say better?Totally diff vibes and feels from this...No comparisons...There all there own albums...Long story short right now id say yes haaaa but thats just me.and its fresh Deftones so its def my fav right now although SNW didnt give me this feelin when i first heard it so maybe it is better...
I think Its on Wp's level. Evenly matched. Slighty more to Wp for one reason. Knife Party. Thats whats missing here. Other than that i love this album.
Diamond Eyes
has my soul right now

Hard to say. White Pony was my favorite, but this might overtake it. Although it might just be because it's new, but I love pretty much all songs on this album and on White Pony (minus Elite). They're a lot different though, so who knows?
I'm very very VERY impressed with chinos vocals... and Yes Frank is very noticeable on this album.... I love every single track... This is the album I expected when SNW came out... If Chi could only hear this.. He'd be so proud...
Amazing, absolutely amazing.
Sextape is godly.
forgot to add that many babies will be made during the playing of the album
I'm going to name my child Royal.
prince sounds like rxqueen, doesnt it?

It sounds a lot like one of the Will Haven songs with the previous new singer (Jeff) actually, not Grady (but I read that Grady is back now ever since the Chi benefit!!!)
Correct u r, i cant wait to hear Grady's Rage pouring out of himself over those crunchy will haven riffs

I love that intro! A sly nod to the wp era. Kind of has a street carp vibe as well. The knowledge of their previous work really shines on this album. Before it kind of seemed like each album was made in a bubble. For this one it seems like they took a look at all the stuff they did before and built, improved and expounded upon it.for example cmnd/ctrl = something updated from the adrenaline era. So cool to see them recognize their past and bring shit full circle.
This album shows a group at the absolute height of thier maturity, power and intellect. This albu
is an absolute tour de force and unquestionably a masterpiece.

Nice way of putting it. It's true, I mean, it is a new kind of sound, but also like they've improved and grown frm their old music. Hm...well, whatever it is, they did an awesome job.

3 times through now. Words cannot describe how badass Prince and Royal are. This album summarizes every reason why I have jammed this band for over 13 years now. It's VERY complete.
I don;t get the sextape love, beauty school is better.
first time listening to it stoned ohhhhhhhhh man

i'm in love with sextape. i cant stop listening to it.
Beauty School is the SHIT!! I dont care what yall think!!
It drives me crazy, Just drives me wild...
Beauty School and (especially) Sextape make me sad like Mascara, Teenager, Xerces, Cherry Waves, and Riviere do :'(
Very powerful songs and it's hard for me to actually listen to them...

Even though it's a negative emotion, you gotta love music that can evoke certain emotions in you. I guess that's the whole goal of it though. Riviere is a beautiful song though.
well i listend to it 3 times now stoned it is amazing this just might be my favorite album but ill wait awhile for that. Amazing work.
Thank you Deftones
I must say, this was the first and only Deftones album that I loved already just upon first listen. Even White Pony took me two or three listens to truly start to get into it. But right off the bat, Diamond Eyes just clicked. Phenomenal.
I don't like the album anymore. I've just realised there's no "THE EEEARTH!!1"-track on it. Fucking sucks.
Nor a "youuuuuuuuuuuuuu" track. SABOTAGE DEFTONES
I have a feeling this will go number 1 on the Billboard, it doesn't take much to hit that now either!

i agree, this album triggers a lot of emotion, sextape really gets me. i know White Pony was the album that was supposed to "take them to where they needed to go" but i feel this album is the one that will break them into the mainstream...and to the person that said they felt the 90s feel to it, i totally agree, i felt a kind of vibe on the album that i couldnt explain, and you hit it it right on the head. im very proud of them
It is a great album. Definitely love every track on it, and I'm telling you, you gotta listen to that scream on Royal at 3 minutes, speachless, they really hit home with this one.

I get a "Anniversary Of An Uninteresting Event" feel from it...Maybe its just me i dunno...
Diamond Eyes sets up Royal really well. Those first 3 songs pretty much tell you this album is going to give you Ear-gasums.
So... Listened to it for the whole night.
And have to admit, lots of songs are similar to each other. Although you can hear lots of different new influences.
This is really the album they put the most efforts in, it totally hears...
Nevertheless, I wanted at least one song that was longer than 5minutes, there is not enough heavy stuff, and they're really going far away from their roots. I don't know if it's good.
Don't get me wrong, I already love this album. I just don't know how to feel about it. i would never say that it's deftones best thing. Never. But they totally worked their asses off to put out that thing.
The album deserves a good 8/10. Fuck whoever thinks that my opinion is stupid.

I was joking dude. Chillax :P
i hear you on that. the first 5 or so songs are awesome, some of the others im not really into yet, i just feel like it kinda sounds like an older band like U2 or somthing trying to change thier songs up and be hip. Some of these songs are def different with the courus and his approach to singing them, then there are parts where stef starts to really kill ish and i am waiting for chino to start screaming is ass off but that just never really seams to happen, except for at the end of royal. So i went to bed listening to it last night, and some songs are just flat to me so far, i am really hopping they grow on me but as of right now they just seem so forgeign.
i just wish the album sounded more like what was in the biging of the eros video clips cause that shit to me sounds so sick. This is def a different approach, is that good or bad, thats still yet to be determained.

It's been a while since the last time you destroyed one of my posts.
What I'm trying to say is that I totally love this sound, it's original, fresh, etc, but the deftones roots seem very far away from that record to me. And I don't know if it's a good thing. But, and I insist, I still think it's an excellent musical piece.

i didnt destroy it, i just didnt see the basic opinion/thought behind it. either way, deftones has always been about having hard heavy guitars mixed with melodic soft vocals with some delicate rage every now and then, the dynamics you know.you got that here. anyway as much as in white pony. that you tend to talk highly about. if u sit down and write down what u like about deftones you will find yourself finding all of that at DE
Deftones should put a bonus song now on the album because all us asshole downloaded the leaked version. A extra track that no one knows about can boost sales. Even though I think the album sales will be just fine, its just a idea.

I absolutely love Risk. That Chorus is mega and Frank's work across the album is amazing.
Too right!
100 pages. woahses moses. but yeah this is the album i've been waiting for them to make ever since self titled.
This is strange, but I sometimes feel that Chino's voice is overly present on it. Almost a bit forcing, which is weird considering the voice shredding he did on S/T. I don't know, it's hard to describe. Royal and Sextape are still my favorites.

Anyone think this will rival White Pony in terms of album sales? I think there are a few radio friendly songs on here.
So Platinum Or no?

i don't think they'll ever match WP sales wise. that was their time, everyone listened to them and there was so much hype. this will definently sell more than SNW and self titled i think but WP came at a special time and everything was just perfect then. i'm going to do my part and get a couple copies for my house, in the car, my collection, etc. if you love the tones and don't buy this album then fuck you. support the band.

the cky board has 300 pages about their album that came out april 09, and that's when they made the topic. i guess this place isn't easy to find though, i guess deftones myspace is where their fans are, they don't have an official board anymore really. speaking of which, the official board even likes the album
They get like $1.50 from a $15 cd to split 5 ways . They get most of the money from touring minus the road crew and paying back the lable for tour support. Thats why I go to the shows and buy the albums.
if you want them to keep making records then buy the records they make. i listen to leaks and shit beacuse i'm impatient but i'm still going to buy it. unfortunately the closest they've ever toured to me is a 14 hour drive but i'd gladly make it to see them. touring and merch is where the money is for bands these days but the label is more concerned with how many units you can move.
I think it's probably the version I downloaded but does anyone else think Chino's vocals are kinda buried in the mix? I'm loving this album though.
I buy the albums because there is nothing like when you buy your favorite bands new album and immediately play it in the car then, drive around for an hour jamin the fuck out.
45k first week
20k 2nd
and downhill from there. morons won't buy it, they'll keep buying nickelback, lady goo goo, and susan boil, like brainwashed zombies

is there another solo besides royal? i guess it can be called a solo, what's everyone think? i'll say Stef was better on DE than s/t, and about equal to snw. he did fine on DE, i'd just like him to get more technical, he's done simple to death. but this album is great anyway

I get what you mean, but as you said earlier, you can hear a lotta similarities frm their past music. I think it's just because it's a new album after quite a while. They've grown, so, that happens.
I'm extremely impressed by this album. it's amazing from start to finish and I'm loving every song. this is the only Deftones album other than WP that has stuck with me right away and hasn't had to grow on me. best song at the moment is Sextape, which is a perfect example of how Deftones can do something completely new and still make it sound like Deftones. finally, big thumbs up to both Chino (who's vocals are top notch and much better than the last two albums) and Frank (who is really coming into his own and adds so much texture to the songs).
sextape kinda has a teenager feel to it

Im in love with 976-Evil atm..
Btw, dont call us assholes because we got a file from the internet. I mean, if you want to blame someone, blame the guy who created it. OMG, internetz EVIL! *shakes fist*
I dont really know why some of you still doubt we will suport the band and grab a copy ourselves. Specially this masterpiece. C'mon..
BEAUTY SCHOOL FTW!!!
also royal, prince, risk and CMND/CTRL are the highlights for me. mostly beauty school and prince.
What a great fucking record!!!!!!! 2 months only and the Tones created someting agressive, spacey and dinamic! 11 songs that blew me away! no fillers here! And yeah I agree when people say they stepped up, they are on a whole different level right now, upgraded Deftones!
976-Evil atm why do you call it that? did they add atm to the end of it or something?

same here i like youve seen the butcher too
Every time I listen to this album I dig it more. Right now I have it right about on par with White Pony. It may very well surpass it for me personally, but it's too early to judge as my impression is still being formed. Chinos vocals are stronger on this album than they've been in a decade. The heavy tracks are tight and well structured, unlike Rapture and Rats!. The melodic tracks are equally ambient as anything on WP, if not more. As some have said, there are some glaring similarities with Prince and RX Queen, but to me Prince is the Dai The Flu of this album, just in the emotional sense and in the way that the song evolves. It's definitely not their best work, but my expectations didn't even sniff their best work. Diamond eyes is pretty fucking impressive.
As it currently stands:
ATF
Adrenaline
White Pony/Diamond eyes
S/T
SNW
Love the sludgy sound in You've Seen the Butcher.

this
I think no matter if we like the change or not, deftones completely reinveinted on this record, kinda the same that happened with the pony.
I also love that bit in Beauty School where he sings "take the phone in your room" and it has the effect of speaking on a phone backing it. Brilliant.
the screaming parts in prince are my favorite part of the record.
I said it before and ill say it again. Im cumming everywhere.
Another weird thing I've noticed, there's not an electronic song.
WP: Teenager.
S.T.: Lucky You
SNW: Pink Cellphone
So finally chino got satisfied? or was it because last one (Pink Cellphone) was such a crap?, you decide.
I still can't say if this is better than SNW but it has had a very GOOD first-feeling on everyone in here... I know I'm not wrong.
I remember everyone saying SNW was shit, but at the end it was a grower, imo.
Quote from: ilovechino69 on Mar 20, 2010, 02:55 PM
sextape kinda has a teenager feel to it
thats because they are both team sleep songs.deftones has put 1 team sleep song on each def rec for the last ten years, its nothing new. the only new this time is that they put a guitar based TS song on it (sextape) insted of an electronic TS track
Quote from: sing blue silver on Mar 20, 2010, 03:25 PM
also royal, prince, risk and CMND/CTRL are the highlights for me
my 4 favs also, in that order too. i also enjoy ystb as nr 5, excellent soft song without sounding team sleep. steph was saying he was playing more melodic stuff on the guitar on this record, i guess the chorus on ystb is somewhat melodic
Quote from: jesusinabowlofdirt on Mar 20, 2010, 01:22 PM
if u sit down and write down what u like about deftones you will find yourself finding all of that at DE
You're wrong when you explain what I ( me vesanic ) think about the deftones. Still, your reference to DE is full of sense and totally probable. You're so fuckin' smart, sweden prick. :)
absolutely INCREDIBLE. thank you deftones. chino is god. i'm addicted to "Prince" awesome song! The whole album just fucking rocks. much better than SNW. deftones = life and my english is not good im sorry.
i just miss one "eletronic" song like Lucky You or Pink Cellphone hah but still a great deftones album!
I can't wait to buy the album in a record store :D
This album is ridiculous. I was expecting good things from all the reviews like Zane Lowe on Radio 1 but this has just blown me away first listen.
There are maybe one or two which dont knock me over but it really is heavy as fuck in places whilst being spacey and atmospheric in others and chinos vocals sound huuuuge. For once what he said in interviews is actually true. OK maybe not THE heaviest album but they're all pushing mid-30s, they gotta let up a bit. The low bass on that 8-string is so good, i like when stef just does little snippets of low low bass before going into some higher end stuff. His guitaring has really stepped up in my opinion. He's got some wicked little fills going on throughout the album, and he hasn't just done some ridiculous heavy riff the whole time.
All in all, the album is really upbeat and refreshing - such good energy throughout. My personal favourite is 976-EVIL at the moment (not many seem to be diggin it??). The song is so fresh and upbeat, nice little guitar fill, spacey vocals - nice lyrics, and really chilled drum beat from Abe!
Can't wait to see how some of these songs translate live, especially unusual tracks like sextape. In the meantime time to get the play count up..!
Generally speaking I did enjoy the album quite a lot, but not as much as I had expected.
But that's nothing bad, really.
Diamond Eyes.. as an opener is quite a good song, though I'm somewhat turned off by the instrumentals on the chorus, but the lyrics do kinda drag me up to the goodness anyway. The sudden jump to Royal and CMND/CTRL (yes, we all expected an another konami code song) was kinda expected for the first part of an album, which was written in a couple of months. Overly speaking the instrumental part is not the strongest player in some of the songs (for example, Risk, CMND/CTRL etc; where singing/lyrics is the main ingredient, kinda), but then it is completely revived on You've Seen the Butcher, which is a bliss to hear. What I love is the somewhat Team Sleep'ish outcome of the chorus, where the chorus becomes more of a bridge, yet still fully blows your mind away.
Beauty School was nice, and I quite saw the reference towards Digital Bath, it was okay I guess - not bad, not too good, did not imprint on my mind as easily as, say, Butcher, Sextape etc. Prince.. well, the only thing I remember of this song is it was quite emotional, nothing musically yet; but what do I expect from a first-timer, only the majorly accessible or wonderful musically songs get written into my head. Rocket Skates - well, at first listen (couple of months ago, live one) did not do the trick for me, but after watching the video couple of times, I kinda fell into this "increased repetition" based song. Now it is okay - glad I did not overlisten to it as a single. And then the good part..
..Sextape. yeah, a slow emotional song. Change, BQAD, Anniversary, Cherry Waves. Mellow stuff.. highly sexual, lol. Favorite I guess. I did not care much for Risk anyway. It was okay. 976-EVIL or should I say Cheng-song, was highly emotional, and did kinda set the tone for This Place is Death - a LOST inspired (lol) emotional finale. Well, not as much finale as just being emotional. I kinda wished there was some kind of explosion at the very end, cause emotionally driven power chords go throughout this album and it becomes nothing new at the last song, but I guess you cannot want too much for a "two-month written album" from a band that takes years to fully shape their albums.
All in all - major pros: emotionally charged, bringing back the sexy/porn/rape/even filthy atmosphere (which makes Deftones evidently different from most new wave metal bands), quite well sculpted. Cons: sometimes a bit dull instrumental part, the individual song structure kinda too traditional. Just my thoughts.. :)

thats whats they've been doing all along ever since day one. if u want complex,complicated song structures, there are other bands. not this band. seeking up a deftones record and then complain its too traditional in the song writing is like going to the sahara desert and complain about there is too much sand there
I'm probably hallucinating shit, but i feel like the chorus of Prince is the closest thing from adrenaline they have recorded since then,,,,Mindset of a killerrr....awesome

every band should be best at everything they do. that is not an excuse. What I meant by my post - in other songs Deftones prove to use a variety of more "interesting" ways of playing the same thing. And in this album, instrumental part in some songs is not exactly their strength. And I'm pretty sure Deftones are capable of that. I'm not saying, that "wow, this album is piece of shit" because of that. I'm just saying there's space for improvement. And at the same time I am "defending" the Deftones by saying, that this album was written in a haste and couldn't really have been too complex or somewhat.
it's all so good, but I'm really into Royal (obv) right now, YSTB, and Prince!!
Really enjoying Sextape right now. Prince was badass too
Prince is the shit!
Beauty School gets me in a really good mood!
Risk is just so damn good!
CMND/CTRL is fuckin dope!
Royal is everything that Deftones are!

:D Yeah I can see The Cure influence on Beauty School and Meshuggah influence on some riffs, of course the 8 string guitar helps! and Chino voice is totally dinamic, he doesnt sound like he is dying, he is pretty alive on this one!! He just screams his lungs out!

It's starting to piss all over SNW for me and I love SNW!
The production is just excellent. S/T sounded so raw and filthy, which was perfect because it's a very dark album. Then SNW was hard to place. But Diamond sounds like White Pony was released not long before it!
EDIT: JUST KIDDING!
ystb is so boss bro, that courus groove is so tight, chinos long screams, franks work, stefs chug, fuckin damn sexy.
You all should stop wanting a new White Pony, you cock-suckers.
It's like having a relationship with a girlfriend after so many years again.
I'm really satisfied with this album! It's good to know that each Deftones cd that they have released is pretty solid, unlike 30 Seconds to Mars and their newest cd, which was super lame and mainstreamish. Pure Junk!
I was kind of disappointed though, that Deftones didn't have an experimental instrumental track like "U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select ,Start" on this new album, but it's still good. I just wish I could jam to Eros, since I heard that one was "darker".
My top Deftones song from DE would have to be
Prince
Risk
Beauty School
You've Seen the Butcher
Diamond Eyes

yeah the real questions after having sex with this album, is how many of this stuff can actually be play live. cause lets be serious, the vocal production is great with all the layering and some doubletracking...extremelly challenging material to perform.
we will see if he is up to the task.
I really think 976-Evil will be a tough song for him live. But remember this is more of a live album. They have practiced the songs a lot. But Slacker is right there is a lot of great production and layering. Diamond Eyes is gonna be such a sick live track and Prince OMFG.

agreed this songs (if they get playtime) will create an unprecedented mood in any venue.
Have been listening to the Ezrin stuff and DE is a lot like some of that. SNW should have been left alone with Chino's vocals on it of course but DE=overwhelming! And way above my expectations! ;D I couldn't pick a favorite track probably ever. The way I like my records baby!! ;D

In my mind for visuals to put this into concept, im thinking of the movie "lost in translation". Chino said he feels the album has a real night time vibe about it, and i think of the shots from inside the moving car of the bright night time streets if Tokyo in the film fit this album well. The soundtrack for that film also has the same mood for Diamond Eyes like the My Bloody Valentine track "sometimes". I also get a Smashing Pumpkins vibe from the music which i associate with sleepy city nights.
Im being as open minded as i can with this album. I was expecting something as tight as White Pony, but now im making my own connotations and realising i can only make of it what it is. It's more of a rock album than previous releases which i'd class as metal. It's alot more experimental which Chino has also stated. M83 vibe for "This Place Is Death" and have again always associated them to late night city drives.
Anyone else feel this?

snw is not metal at all...except maybe for rapture
Its one of the few albums where I cant pick a favorite song. They are all perfect. Cant wait to see these songs live. Royal is my new Hexagram, its gonna be out of this world live. I've only listened to it 3 times all the way through, and its getting better every time. Their best album by far. No filler at all, every song is an instant classic. Good for them!
i've only listened to it 3X also. man it's good

I fell in love the first listen but the second and third were even more amazing. Every band member just kills it on this record. The outro to Beauty School gives me chills every time.
hey peps, somebody had to do this. feel free to comment or bash. this is just a little promo.
it had to be done.
Deftones - Diamond Eyes 2010 [Fan Promo] (http://vimeo.com/10316784)
this album explains exactly where i am in my life. fits perfectly. lately i've been having extra troubles with my chronic depression and severe social anxiety and i'm able to relax for once in my life. deftones always make me feel a little less alone in the world and like i can relate to someone or something. its really special. probably why they've been my favorite band for so long. this music is therapy without the judgement i usually got from my countless therapists.
rocket skates is definitely my least favorite, and I dont think its because its "old", cause I never really liked it

i feel the same way man. the deftones have always been an escape for me. their music brings me a ton of happiness. i'll always have this album to throw on after having a bad day. I completely loose track of time and stop caring about all the bullshit thats bothering me when im listening to this album.

pffft. rocket skates pwns. if i had to pick a least favorite it'd probably be diamond eyes or you've seen the buther but both of those are awesome songs.
I can't say what my least favorite is...... Risk sounds a little too mainstream to me.... lol But hey I like it. I like it ALL!!!

With you 100%. Deftones are chicken noodle soup for the soul.
yeah that album is making me forget my troubles too for about 41 minutes, thank you deftones.

AGREED!
just realized, there's no techno tracks anymore :D
they usually put one techno song into the album
WP = Teenager
ST = Lucky You
SNW = Pink Cellphone
I felt that this album would be the culmination of all the sounds and emotions they ever put into their music...
with all that's happened with Chi, I knew if they decided to put out a record while he recovers it would be mind blowing
and its just that
I know we gotta have the art fags, noobs and music snobs always come in and give their 35 cents about whats wrong with what they heard ....and that's fine...... but this album is the most soulful , heart felt, brutal and beautiful sound Ive ever heard this band produce
its sad that Chi wasnt able to be part of this masterpiece ( im sure they took some grooves and vibes from the eros sessions that he wrote / liked and Sergio put his heart in that shit ) but we all know for a fact he was the driving force behind it
this is my favorite album by this band definitively

1+ Awesome post man.
And I totally agree, in a funny way, Chi had the most input on this album. Because like you said, he's the driving force behind it and they're all tighter now because of Chi's situation and I know a lot of us fans have Chi in mind whilst listening to it. It's a very powerful and positive thing man.
Why is there no 976-EVIL love!? I think the chorus makes me want to cry haha it's amazing. I love how songs slowly standout to you after 20 odd listens. The songs really come alive..

Yeah leaving SNW out
that opening riff in Risk is pretty nasty i like it.
im starting to get this place is death. at first i thought of it as kind of mediocre, but it really is an awesome closer
Yeah I didn't really have an opinion about Risk, 976-Evil and This Place is Death after the first few listens but I knew they would grow on me.
They have now.
Risk is def. a throwback to Adrenaline, I love that. The guitar sound is so Adrenaline.
976-Evil is pure emotion, so beautiful.

Agree with that totally, btw good to hear from you Moz, bloody long time!
new deftones stuff always makes me come back ;)
I dunno man I think Ive listened to it about 15 times now through this weekend and it's SUCH a good record. It's their third classic (for me). It stands tall and proud next to ATF and WP. I'm so happy this band can still touch me the way they do.
Maybe just the leaked version i got but if you listen to "You've Seen The Butcher" at 0:43 and 0:46-0:48 you can hear google message alerts ;D
I think exactly the same things than Vesanic.
My favorites are:
CMND/CTRL (soooooo perfect! this song makes me crazy!)
This Place Is Death (very beautiful and ambient)
976 Evil (OMG this chorus! so sad and powerful!)
Prince (so original and Chino screams are sooo good)
Royal/Risk ( so "Deftones")
The others...
Diamond Eyes (lol sorry but i just can't! - but the end is crazy-)
You've Seen The Butcher (interesting but that's all)
Beauty School (like the verse but not the rest)
Rocket Skates (not a fan but I think it's gonna be a killer track in live)
Sextape (well... no emotion for me on this one and I hate the chorus)
Very good record but these guys can do so much better, especially Chino. This is my personal opinion.
That instrumental bit in the teaser 2 video made me like Diamond Eyes more.

Yeah I am pretty happy with it too, this and Biffy Clyro's latest are my favorite records at the moment.

Nothing really stands out to me in Prince. I'm not really a fan of the chorus...it's kind of boring. I'm sure it will grow on me though.
I'm in love with Sextape. :(

prince is the shit. sextape, sadly, hasn't caught my ear like most of the other tracks. and that scream at the end of royal is fucking epic.
the prince chorus is the most intense phrasing of the album, heavy material right there. i love it.
The whole album is amazing, Prince and Sextape are probably the 2 best tracks on the album.....Prince has probably the heaviest breakdown and Sextape just makes you wanna cry forever!
Beauty School is the most heartfelt song on the album i find. it's very romantic. i'm in love with it. i hope the band at least appreciates the amount of love this album is getting even if it has leaked crazy early.
come on guys i think royal takes the price for heaviest breakdown...hands down.
The only one I have started skipping is Sextape cause it's too sad/depressing/emotional for me sometimes (for real). But everything else on there is listenable over and over again! I can't get enough of the uniqueness of Royal and especially the second half. Chino's on this song is heavenly.
And YSTB has grown on me very fast. CMND, Risk, Prince, they're all so good!
Had it on in my car yesterday with my 2 subs and it was ridiculous...quality on this leak is very good.
Anybody else lovin' that little vocal thing at 1:29 in Royal? I love that.
2:34 in YSTB is my favorite part on the whole album. goosebumps.
Am I missing something? What happens at 2:34? Seems to just be the middle of a chord, no?
I start losing interest in the album after Prince, I'm sure its good but I'm hooked on the first 6 songs.
976-EVIL is just killer, I love it so much, Prince aswell.
I wasn't too big on Royal at first, but now I can't wait for it to kick in after Diamond Eyes. But this is the case with all albums.. you can't instantly love all albums.

Well, it starts at 2:34. it's the fill into the epic explosion that is YSTB's prechorus. it's just epic the way it kicks back in.
When they play sextape live i see chino playing guitar.
Looks Deftones finally delivered something generally pleasing to most of their fans.

I'm pretty sure Saturday Night Wrist did that.
What a sexy, sensual record with whip cream on top. I'm touched to see the band finally get down on their knees and satisfy all their fans.
976-Evil song and intro + Sextape chorus = CRY
976-evil seems like a 'goodbye goodfriend in the afternoon with the sunsets' song
976 reminds me of smashing pumpkins man, which by the way is fucking good, i really like Deftones new direction
i can't help but wonder why they picked the two songs they did for pre-release, the other songs have much more depth in my opinion

Diamond Eyes and Rockets are most stand-out trax with distinctive chorses.
did anyone notice that there are scream on 976 EVIL at 3:24 - 3:30?
it really not like chino's scream. it like somebody on "Caviar" by dance gavin dance scream on it.
My review of Diamond Eyes:
Starts off with the title track Diamond eyes which is basically a mini preview of whats to come in this album. The song is very melodic, it starts off with a very muddy riff. Then transitions quickly into the chorus. Effects and guiatrs slowly fill in the song and ends with typical Deftones style, a sludgy Steph guitar Riff.
Second song Royal enters with a wicked riff ala Will Haven and then a soothing verse with Chino singing in two different tones. Then enters into a classic Chorus. The music gets very atmospheric near the middle with a crazy Abe bridge and ends with the original riff and a deadly Chino scream.
CMD/CNTR just slaps you in the face, where has this been the last 10 years? It's like Street carp and Engine # 9 had a baby during the mid 90's that no one knew about. Switching command just because I can.
You've Seen The Butcher is something the I've never really heard the band do, very atmospheric drumming and guitar riff that turns into a very TOOL like song. Very sexy bass riff in the chorus. Chinos voice just explodes and then groves.
Beauty School starts off and you know it's going to be soft, but once the initial guitar kicks in you're hooked. The chorus is a bit drawn out but overall it will get the girls all wet.
Prince begins with abe frank and sergio making atmosphere and then turns into this grunge chorus that has you singing along... mindset of a killer. The song evolves more than what I first thought and gets pretty rough. Should be the next single.
Rocket skates - Not going to review this song, I like everything except the chorus.
Sextape - very slow calming song, feels like Radiohead with a digital bath esque chorus. One of the weaker tracks for me, a little to whiney in Chino's voice. A nightime song forsure very sensual.
Risk - Hits hard, makes you feel alive right away, then soothes you with the chorus. Again not one of my favorites but still better than most of the last two albums.
976-Evil - Can be a sad song or an uplifting song, depends on your mood. Makes you feel like cruising around on a nice day. The chorus reminds me of moana, which is a good thing.
This place is Death - Another sexy nighttime song but not slow, feels very distant. Feels like a climax not an ending though. :)
where is the collab with M83 anyway??
i think this is abe's finest work to date, so many styles, he's really bought it all together, the production on the recording is also 10 times better than that of ST or SNW, the snare doesn't have that thick muddy sound anymore. in love with this album, ill shut up now.

The production on s/t was fine, should have had lovers on there though.
When they play Beauty School live I see chino playing guitar.
Ok, some items i'd like to note about this:
_Surprisingly 8 strings them fits them nicely!! I preffer it to the 7stringed 'tones.
_Not much Sergio's prescence is felt on many tracks, that's rare. But when the guys gets off the guitar's line he drops some gold. Still eternally thankfull for all he did for the deftones.
_Is this records production the most original it ever had? It really doesn't sound like any other record avaliable right now. Some ahead-of-its-time arrangments and sounds.
_sextape is Smashing pumpkins influenced. I LOVE that track, really heartful. On the other side of the spectre, RS is the heavy beast of the album.
im impressed that nobody has touch the issue of "selling out". we can agree that the straight up pop forwardness of some this songs, could be interpreted as a sign.
i guess we all pretty mature by now.
I'm glad "selling out" has not been brought up. It isn't 1999 anymore. Plus, this album just does not have that feel. It just sounds like a deftones album to me.

This album is amazing, i havent stopped listening to it and wont for the next 2 months, as i do with every deftones album, minus b-sides and rarities since all hardcore fans basically had every song on there already.... I read in an interview that chino was gonna be less cryptic and definitly the most forward lyrics to date if you ask me, not that he still doesn't speak in tounges but i noticed right away the difference... and its by far the most layers and different sounds we've ever heard from them... the album really flows though, it feels like a journey every time!!!
;D
deftones have established themselves enough and until the day i hear one of their songs in a commercial or something they haven't and probably never will "sell out". this is just the music they wanted to make.

How so? They were in Guitar Hero 3
and they were in at least one NHL game I believe.
they were in one of the true crime games too. games are different. i don't remember them being in guitar hero 3 at all. must have been as a download or something.
they were in crow city of angels, not to mention how much i love the crow!!
Now that I think about it "this place is death" really sounds like a track that would have fit very well with s/t.
The more I listen to it Beauty School is growing on me atm my top 3 off the album are
...royal...
....diamond eyes...
&
...beauty school...

i don't get a korn vibe at all. this is awesome and has a melody to it unlike any korn song ever. but yeah.
PRINCE IS THE FUCKING SHIT!!!!
I don't think they'll play many of the new songs live as I doubt Chino will be able to pull off the vocals live. Probably why they've been playing Rocket Skates cause it's the easiest for him vocally lol.
Ranking of the tracks:
Beauty School (top 3 best Deftones songs ever)
Royal
Sextape
You've Seen the Butcher
Diamond Eyes
Prince
976-EVIL
This Place Is Death
CMND/CTRL
Rocket Skates
Risk
Man, it's fucking tough to rank these since I love them all.

I don't hear Korn at all on this album either.
Meshuggah yes, Korn? hell no!
This Place is Death
I know you feel the same
no use in rating them. this whole thing is unbelievably good. the eros material had me expecting something a bit different but this has been a nice suprise.
Ranking of the tracks:
Royal (Best chino scream ever)
Risk (the most beautiful for Chi song)
Prince (amazing, remembers me Rx Queen, Excellent Sergio and Frank)
Beauty School (for far, the best work of Frank)
Sextape (sublime)
Diamond Eyes (good break, a slow motion chorus)
976-Evil (tears and sadness)
This Place is Death (the best song for a album ending)
You've Seen the Butcher (the end of the world? check this, this is the hell!)
Rocket Skates (woooh!)
CMND/CTRL ('99-'00 era, Elite, amazing!)
royal kicks ass
sextape!!!!!

Blasphemy!
I downloaded this cd as soon as a I heard about it (don't worry, I've helped all of their other albums chart and bet your left sphincter I'll do it with this one, too) and I've listened through it probably 10-12 times and I'm just plain blown away. First, the production... I adore the way it sounds so "huge," for lack of a better word, and it just makes me all the more pumped that this isn't the final quality so it'll only be better on CD. Every track on the disc, the guitars, vocals, drums, bass and Frank's just have this "pop" that made each track stand out, which i felt the last couple albums lacked a little bit compared the the first 3. Definitely some of their best sounding recordings.
Now... the music. I don't really know where to start, I love every track, I can't really pick one I don't like. There's something super sweet being done by one or more of them pretty much every second, from start to finish. Steph's parts are turbo dope, ever since they posted the B8 (current dream guitar) and I saw pictures I knew his parts were gonna be straight evil this time around, and he didn't let me down. Chino's vocals are in my current opinion his best ever, he sounds fucking awesome and you can just hear all of the influences from all of the other cds, team sleep and everything else culminating together into something he definitely also put all of his ability into and absolutely killed it. Sergio's bass is great too, I'm always wondering what Chi would've done in his place when I hear his tracks, but Sergio definitely didn't slack and laid down some sick bass. Abe sounds fresh as hell too, some of the best drumming I've heard from him as well. Probably some of the most varied playing too, but it all fits with the songs absolutely perfectly. And definitely some of Frank's best material as well, it really stands out.
I could go on for hours, but in summation I'll just say that I was never really worried that they wouldn't knock it out of the park, and even through my optimism they fuckin blew me away. Can't wait for this CD to become a part of my life like the others. Props Deftones, major, major props.

I cant get into that one the its got too much korn verses but love the chorus tho I reckon that probablt got something to do with Sergios playing tho...
i don't get a korn vibe at all. this is awesome and has a melody to it unlike any korn song ever. but yeah.
PRINCE IS THE FUCKING SHIT!!!!
Pfft. Yea, Korn wish they could sound like Deftones.
FUCK KORN
i like korn, but i hear no korn in this album
deftones >>>>>>>>>>>>> korn (and korn is damn solid)
deftones all day over korn

im impressed that nobody has touch the issue of "selling out". we can agree that the straight up pop forwardness of some this songs, could be interpreted as a sign.
i guess we all pretty mature by now.
actually Im happy with the direction they took with this album, Im happy they included more pop and rock (with rock i mean just rock, instead of metal) elements while keeping it deftones. They are getting older and if they keep exploring in this direction I could see them still putting great great records in 10+ years.
Don't compare Deftones to Korn, it's not nice. Deftones are awesome and have never released a bad album, Korn should have stopped after album 3 or 4.
I agree with others. The whole korn comparison is unwarranted. They still put the same stale as shit out. Deftones have managed to evolve and stay relevent.
Look at a band like U2, like them or not they manage to put out albums that keep them relevent. Look at the difference between Joshua tree and auchtung baby, those are worlds apart even though they came back to back. Both albums managed to keep the bands "sound" even though they are totally different.
I bring this up because I think Deftones have this same unique and special gift. If I compared the bands I would actually say Deftones has become more relevent and evolved over time while U2 have become less so...
i dont know if any of you noticed this, but i think diamond eyes is a real straight-forward song/message about chi. this is what i get from the chorus:
time will see us realign (we will be together again)
diamonds ring? across the sky (miracles happen every day) (i think it's ring even tho others say reign)
i will lead us to the same realm (i will help you all the way)
also, lines like
when the coffin shakes
when the needle breaks (when all is realized and chi wakes up, chino offering his hand into the next process... living)
also
to the edge, til we all get off (until the end, giving it 110%)
i will take you home?/away? with me, once and for all (basically saying ill take you away from all the shit youve been experiencing and never let it happen again.
there's another chorus, something like
calculate our embrace, hold on (keep being positive)
[come with me now] and run away to outerspace with me, once and for all (...and ill take you as far away from this state youve been in as i can)
just sayin.

it's probably because Deftones can't really sell out. it's not like they've moved more towards the mainstream - they've always had pretty simple song structures and catchy choruses, and their height of success was during the nu-metal era where while they were pretty different from the other bands (read: way more talented), they still played the same kind of music. for Deftones to sell out, they'd have to do a colab with Lil' Wayne and put chino on an autotuner. and throw in some of those disco beats the hardcore kiddies love these days.
can't get the sextape chorus out of my head, and i don't want it out

agreed, i think the point in question is the straightforwardness of the pop sensibility that is presented here.

ill say it again, a think is pretty evident that the chorus reads: "diamond rain across the sky" is seems logical now with the semantic.

i really think most of you havent notice the "
the" before mindset...i think is there everytime. "
the mindset of a killer". im just saying, get a close listen.
Am I the only one to think that Prince tastes like an S/T song mixed with RX Queen ? I love it anyway.
I've tried figuring out which previous era some songs "belong" to, and while it often leans towards ATF I keep hearing influences from all previous albums all over the place - even in the same songs. which is great, because it means this is really the best of the best so to speak.

korn hasn't been anywhere close to solid since 1997, give or take a year or two, and i used to be a huuuge fan. What a terrible, terrible band they turned into. Not at all comparable to Deftones, even in their very worst moments.
Korn is so bad now its not funny. I love Life is peachy and even Follow the leader. What they produce now is comedy.
korn is dead. end

you're not alone on that one but i personally thought self titled>white pony

diamond eyes>self titled. not ready to say it's better than around the fur though.
Opinions suck, huh ?
How can anyone say that Diamond Eyes is their best album ever is beyond me.
ATF
DE
S/T
WP
Adreniline
SNW
Thats my list
I'm not there yet to say its better then wp but I do think its better then s/t .
Well Romain.....
I stated it, and I stand by it.
Everyone has their own favorites, be it: White Pony, ST, ATF, and so on.... and I feel like DE incorporates the BEST from each, into one little shining gem. I am in LUST with this CD.
I would never think/say that DE is better than Adrenaline/ATF/WP/or even S/T (due to some of the best songs being from it).
Although, it is very good.

well, not to dismiss anyone's opinion, but I think a lot has to do with it being new material. it's exciting to hear new stuff and you'd much rather put on the new album than an older one. when SNW came out I considered it to be their best work EVER for a while. then things started sinking in and WP came back on top. most likely, I thought this because it was new fresh material that I had been waiting for for so long, plus I was pretty disappointed with S/T when it came out. with DE it's too early to tell, but I definitely like it more than both ATF and S/T. they will never top WP imo.
that said, I can definitely see DE being some people's favorite. it's a such a complete and engaging album, with so much emotion. you can definitely tell that they haven't obsessed about song structures and production this time around, and instead consentrated on lyrics, atmosphere and emotion.
Well, I've listened about 15 times to the album now and I can say it's not my favorite but it's still good. I only get that "i'm listening to a god damned fucking deftones album" feeling when Royal's playing. I swear that's a perfect song.
But let's be honest. Compare Diamond Eyes to other openers. MOS. Feiticeira. Muhfuggin' Hexagram. It's just blargh. Like HitE.
It's definitely a different sound than all of their other albums but I don't dig it as much. Personal preference right there. If Eros is S/T #2, I want a slice of that cake right now.
I'm a fan of the song Diamond Eyes.... so I guess I can't relate..

yeah royal should have been the opener. hexagram is their best opening song but diamond eyes is a better opener than hole in the earth. i'll admit its a bit weak as an opening song but the rest of the album makes up for it.

- Risk
- You've Seen The Butcher
- Diamond Eyes
- Beauty School
- This Place is Death
- Rocket Skates
- Sextape (not really a fan, usually skip - but I'm trying to like it)

Around the Fur is my favorite album of all time, Diamond Eyes won't be enough to change that.
As for ranking the albums in order of my favorite to least favorite, how can you compare Diamond Eyes to Adrenaline? Like trying to put Beauty School, Sextape, 976-EVIL, and This Place is Death against songs like, Bored, Root, 7 Words and Engine #9. Doesn't even seem like the same band.
Plus, I rocked my Adrenaline tape Side A to Side B nonstop when I was in high school. It's had to say if I like Diamond Eyes more now (at age 29) than I liked Adrenaline (when I was 16)
I'd rank the songs on Diamond Eyes thusly (favourite to least):
- Royal

- Prince
- You've Seen The Butcher

I have to say its by far their best album. I love all of their other ones but Diamond Eyes blows them out of the water. I was listening to SNW a little yesterday and really noticed how bad that album really is. I shouldn't say its bad because I still love it, but not even close to their best work. I never thought DE would beat out WP for me but it definitely has... and how can u guys list sextape as your least favorite? thats fucking insane. Thats song melts my heart every time it hear it.
and my favorites, even thought they are changing daily...
1. 976-Evil
2. Beauty School
3. Sextape
4. Royal
5. You've seen the butcher
6. Prince
7. Diamond Eyes
8. This Place is Death
9. Risk
10. CMND/CTRL
11. Rocket Skates
Royal then straight into CMND/CTRL is just pure heaven. Best songs on the album for me.

WTF, wither-I.
Beauty School and Sextape least favorite?
Ok. I had my time with DE as well...
Damn, it is good. Very, very good.
Tracks 1-6 are pure genius and any one of them can easily become my favorite Deftones song ever. As for now - it keeps changing (with Prince and You've Seen the Butcher currently at the top). Rocket Skates and the final four tracks are not as good, but still pretty awesome. I love the way music changes when you listen to it on the headphones. All those little details... Tasty :)

I hate how lots of people are saying " Diamond Eyes is better than White Pony " just to prove that, contrarily to what lots of people said, White Pony is not that good.
White Pony is my favorite album ever, but even if it weren't, I would have noticed that. I just find it ridiculous.
I think we are all on a high from this album. Let's see what we are saying in a couple months. I think we'll still agree that it's utterly excellent but will we still think it's the best? The key is to keep in account the other excellent albums (and there's a lot of them) that make up their discography.

And again, i'm so with you. It just needs so much time to say "it's better than", and even more time to say "it's better than
White Pony", because for me it's not just the music, it's also a matter of memories you have with an album (y'know, to rate an album over another). I do understand the excitement, but you guys have to calm down.
Yeah can't wait for the hate this album will get if eros turns out to be heavy. Or if the next album is considered way better than DE.
One thing is for damn sure, though. It blows SNW out of the fucking water.
thing is, I almost immediately felt ST and SNW weren't on the same level as WP and ATF for me. But with DE I do feel that.
I'm a big fan of the 'Tones but not a fanboy. If DE wasn't as good as WP and ATF, I would've admitted that. I actually EXPECTED that before I had my first listen.

That's what he was saying.. it makes SNW look terrible. Blows it out of the water.
But if I could replace Beauty School and 976-EVIL with Beware and Rats!Rats!Rats! that would be a sweet album.
I've never thought WP was their best album, ever.
AtF
Adrenaline
WP
S/T
SNW
I'm not going to place DE just yet, but right now I think it's looking
like it's gonna be either above or below Adrenaline
Well I said as of now... and yes, it may change.... and it may not.
I however LOVE White Pony...
yes, I do understand it's new.... and as of this moment.... sitting listening... it is my favorite. I don't know why everyone gets their panties in a bunch because people have different opinions. This is a message board... I posted how I feel... and I'm amazed that opinions would "blow anyone away"
I just don't understand how 976-EVIL is last on these lists!
976-EVIL
Royal

Nothing to do with anything important, but I did a Diamond Eyes-inspired Flickr pic today lol. Just my car head unit but still, felt like showing that I am bumpin' it!
It's called "Royal" and one of the keyword phrases is "mindset of a killer" lol

I want that radio. :P
I have listened to this album about 15 times and I am lost for words. It almost, for me, matches the greatness of ATF. All members of the band really worked themselves out and crafted out a very "complete" record. My favorite songs right now are:
Prince
Beauty School
Sextape
4.8/5
nigga's steering wheel is on wrong side.
i guess the guy on this board ........ is the one who leaked the album. Do you think he'll get in trouble with warner? probably not.
we have no idea who leaked it, and we're certainly not pointing fingers at each other. /Jacob
It was probably that nyquil addict troll.
I can't wait for a bonus track!!!
My favorites in order:
Prince
Sextape
976-EVIL
The whole thing is beautiful and I can't stop listening to it. And 976-EVIL makes me cry a little.
May 18th can't arrive sooner! I just started noticing the quality of this leak and boy it just sounds unfinished.
what kinda camera is that? nice pic

Me too, already added you as a contact (Kartoffelmeister). =)
Sextape is an amazing song, I LOVE the lyrics. And Chino's voice sounds amazing.
im not one who pays attention to lyrical content, so just musically, i feel its rather sad and pissed off. and as far as hooks, apart from the DE single, it took me more than a couple of spins to get to know and remember the tunes. more than deftones other records.
i wonder how other people experienced their introduction to this.. i hear comparison to white pony, but i think that one is way more "easy listening".
It's very catchy and uplifting.

DE record: uplifting and catchy?
"the new album thread" IS about DE :(
First post but far from a noob. I have been on this board daily since S/T. I gotta admit I love the banter from all you guys. I have been a Deftones fan for over a decade.
This record is a masterpiece and I am so proud of all the guys. This one will go platinum and earn another Grammy for the band.
Top 5 tracks imo:
1. Royal
2. 976-EVIL
3. Prince
4. CMND/CTL
5. Beauty School
Thanks to all of you Vets who keep this site fresh, glad to be here...finally.
theres lot of noobs.
deftones really have making new fans in this album
D'awww, you were waiting for the right song name on the right album to register your name to. :)
just thinking
what position did sergio had on the DE booklet?
is it Bass player or "temporary bass player while chi's recovery pocess."

Yeah, that was it........ and to be honest I did not have too much to say! ;D
I remember the days when there were no forums (or none I knew of)
I'm not that old but it was You, Your CD/Tape, Kerrang and your mates!
I'm in denial of how much a masterpiece this album is. Ask me in a few months though.
go cry
I think maybe it's just you who's sad and pissed off. This album is murderous.
The Artwork of Diamond Eyes are ready
and now you can preorder the album
released new date: 4th may 2010
www.gunsrazorsknives.com (http://www.gunsrazorsknives.com)

Meh.
if by uplifting you mean lifting someones spine out of their body then yes. And murder is catching on these days so yes catchy
That's an awesome cover.
Also, the video with lyrics.. is private.
I dont think we're supposed to know about it yet ;)
From the video.. some of the lyrics are "get set?"

welcome aboard, mate.
regarding your username and the song - it's slowly becoming my favorite on the album. it has one of those typical choruses that you don't really "get" right away, but it grows on you and slowly reveals itself in all its glory. such a powerful song. hell, I excited just when I hear the intro.
Also, maybe the new release date is the fifth of April? ;)
I'm digging it.
I wonder what the cd its self is going to look like? another flower. or a white owl out line like white pony? maybe they should have called the album White Owl ha
Quote from: Penicks on Mar 23, 2010, 09:25 PM

I think they moved the album back 2 weeks due to the leak.. thats probably why the new site was pushed back to this week.
Remember, in America we do it Month/Day/Year.. so 5.4.10 is May 4th
not a super fan of that owl, or owls in general. chino said he thought the record had a night time feeling to it, maybe thats why they got an owl on it.. a night time bird
Which totally doesn't make any sense.
Anyways, preordered it. Yay.

I wonder if they will release some when the singles come out.
Okay, so I got the M83 remix. :)
Great cover. Although I'd have liked the reversed one more with the tints of blue and if the background was white so that the owl blends in more.
Other than that I like it for sure.
Also, I still can't get used to the American date format!

I'm guessing as soon as the song/site goes live they're release the remix of Rocket Skates.

You should totally megashare it ;)
It's uh. Well, I don't know. Kind of dubsteppish, and I don't like dubstep. I'll Rapidshare it. Can I post the link here?

why not?
im pretty sure that the M83 Remix is all the bonus we will get.
man, this sucks. I want to preorder and get the M83 remix (fucking love M83), but shipping to Sweden is an extra $6.99... and when I order from another country I usually ask them to mark the package as a gift to avoid taxes, but I see no such option here and have no idea how to ask them to do that. so that'll be another added cost.
anyways, the album cover is nothing special but I like it. it's clean and simple and the owl is pretty. not sure how well it fits the music (I liked both the Rocket Skates and DE single art better). no real complaints though.
Its cool I guess..... Pretty much my 2 favorite bands ATM. I though it would be a little better. But ill let it grow on me ;)
they should release a second version of the cd, with inverted colours and finger of death as a bonus track.
I really like the remix!! Im a huge M83 fan and he did a really good job with this song. I agree with Iceache he did make it sound alot more sensual and actually gives me a new appreciation for RS. Thanks for uploading!!

whoa, this is one of the best remixes I've ever heard! might be because it's two of my favorite bands together :D but I really like that he's turned it into an entirely different song. it's not just the tired old "hey, let's add some disco beats to this and throw around the lyrics in some weird manner".
When I first heard this album thought Royal, 976-EVIL and Sextape were the worst songs on the album. After about hearing the album 10 more times... I do like Royal now but i still think its a bit overrated on this board here *sprays anti flame spray on* 976-EVIL is better than Sextape.I hate that song. The rest of album is great though.. 7.9/10

Same here in Belgium. Still, Deftones are worth €15.
Yup Rapid sharing does not equal 10kb/s lame piece of shit lol.
its not that great..more of an experiment than a song. drunk bored guy messing around with it at late hours before going to bed
You've Seen The Butcher's chorus is well like Death From Above 1979.
Get a Premium account you poor bastards. It's worth it.
I just want the Diamond Eyes /W Lyrics video.. I have to know WHERE in the song it says Get Set... Im guessing its those screams we hear.
Yes, his screams.. the one where some people thought he was saying CHENG.. he's just saying SET.

Next time you'll need a favor, I'll answer you with the same amount of courtesy.
now, call me stupid.. but how do I go about seeing the DE video on the website? it says it's a private video and I must accept the friend request. I'm no vivid YouTube user, but from what I know you can't be "friends" with anyone on there. is it a code you get when you pre-order that you must use or something?

Nah, it's only gonna go live when whoever runs the Youtube.com/Deftones account makes it not private
You can be friends. The preorder didn't unlock it either. Wierd. Maybe they'll add a Twitter link later?
FUCKING love the remix! Very cool! It's nice to hear a remix of a Tones song that's actually worth a good listen. 8)

Nah, it's just a video with lyrics, like the rocket skates one. You don't need to be friends, or order the album, or have a twitter account.
wow pretty adventurous, makes a change for a remix!
New release date is the 4th of may then?
That's a little closer if true. HELL YEAH
i didnt say this album sucks did i? it is indeed fantastic. but it is rather melancholic and angry sounding than positive like chino says right? i know the record from back to front by now.

I guess it's time for Jacob to do a list too. the album still needs to sink in more, and I'm still noticing new stuff and switching favorites once in a while. but at the moment I guess it'd be something like this:

Before the dawn heals us, or thier self titled album.

It's gonna be on the Rocket Skates 7" and if you pre-order you get the MP3 download.
Oh, alright. Well then, I'll just take the leaked one and buy the album in a store. :P
OK, so I just paid for my pre-order... can't wait to get that shit in my hands
I think the album art makes the album that much better..IMO its there best to date....
I live in the UK. If I pre-order from Amazon.co.uk do you think I'll receive my copy of Diamond Eyes sooner than if I pre-order from the Warner site?
Yeah when I first heard it was gonna be an owl I didn't like. But after seeing the finished thing, I really dig it. Looks so clean!
Sorry.

I'm going to say it, the remix is better than the actual song
Get the album Dead Cities by M83 before anything else. That's when there was more than one person in M83. The best.
It's the happiest they have I reckon. Doesn't sound sad at all to me, only 976-EVIL's chorus..
any misheard lyrics?
Listening to Risk I heard "drive" instead of "try", so it was like: "I'll find a way, I'm confused, but I think I could drive" and I was like "WTF, is this song about driving after a party or something?"
loving the album, far exceeded my expectations considering the time they had to put it together. dig the art. speaking of which, it appears that Tones only paid about $1500 for that owl picture.... now thats a deal! http://www.glowimages.com/index.cfm?/imageDetails_EN&imgid=20922297&extIntCode=0 (http://www.glowimages.com/index.cfm?/imageDetails_EN&imgid=20922297&extIntCode=0) go ahead and calculate the price for >1,000,000 prints and worldwide distribution.

That definitely takes any cool factor away from it for me...I mean I can't think of any other album cover that uses a stock, pre-existing photo as it's main and only subject...
I'm not saying I hate it now. In fact I think it's pretty tight...for a stock photo. ;)
cheap. its like when someone take a pic of an animal and sell it to a site...
but the feeling to see it on a deftones album cover its priceless.
i think you all would be quite surprised how many album covers came from stock photography.

Wow as a designer I wasn't happy with the type, but dug the photo. Now knowing it is a stock photo saddens me. (maybe there is some sort of explanation for it, cost wise).
Nevermoind..
I love it more the more Iook at it.
Of course nobody likes knowing it's a stock photo, but that's how these things are done.

I think the album is fucking killer (yes, me...the guy who fully panned their last two).
They're back with balls. Abes drumming is really flowing, ties all the riffs together.
Couldn't give a fuck about if the cover art is a stock photo. I suppose some people just have to pick holes.
Easily their most consistant and solid album since White Pony

Without a shadow of a doubt.
Check nearer the time as some vendors have offers (ie free posters, etc).
edit....
Sorry if this has already been posted guys!
According to newly released promotional materials, the Deftones have brought forward the release date of their new album "Diamond Eyes" to May 04th. The move is more than likely a response to the recent leaking of the effort to the internet, which was allegedly done by an undisclosed music website writer.

Sweet, dude. The day it leaked was march 19th, that was my birthday. Best surprise ever. But the actual release date of the album is so much more badass. :)
I finally listened to the album with some proper headphones on last night. and all I can say is OH MY GOD! got to hear much more of Sergio's bass and he does a tremendous job imo. and Frank's effects were even more in-your-face and totally awesome. this is his best work with the band to this day, no question about it. I especially love what he does in Royal and YSTB.
if its frank only on this album effect-wise, then its not just his best work, he stepped up big time to a WHOLE other level i never heard him on.if the booklet would say it had some additional musicians or additional engineer/blip blop guy on his department i wouldnt be surprised.
but if its just his melodies,sounds,background sounds etc then im very very impressed

Wow as a designer I wasn't happy with the type, but dug the photo. Now knowing it is a stock photo saddens me. (maybe there is some sort of explanation for it, cost wise).
Or maybe because it's a fuckin' excellent picture and they thought it would be perfect for the album..
I don't get what's wrong with the picture being from stock. It's awesome, probably the best cover they've ever had (ok, exception made for Like Linus :)). I must say that I never really appreciated Deftone's covers. White Pony is still their best album to me, but the cover is not appealing at all and is way too minimal for such a huge album.

I'm pretty sure it's only Frank. everything sounds like him, if you compare to what he's done before. I think the production itself makes a big difference too - on previous records his sounds haven't been nearly as obvious all the time, only of a few songs. remember how it took a live recording of WGTB for people to realize Frank's awesome work in it?

Yea pretty much saying we dont need to win you over with clever album art , we let our music do that. its my favorite album art because
its classy,minmal and and full of confidence
im impressed with all the sounds on de, but for example that sound in the chourus of diamond eyes, those sounds barley heard is too professional to be him (of course i could be wrong and i hope so) .. he to me is more of a sound guy who plays the crappy synth in rapture or those notes on wtgb, which is awesome, but those are kind o f prominent melodies, there too much barley heard shit on this thats amazing and booster for the songs. that sort of stuff producers know
Speaking of Frank, I pretty much never heard any of his sounds except for on this album a few times, so that's a big deal. Part of the reason might be because I have very crappy headphones, but maybe I just hear it without noticing it. A lot of the time I though some distorted guitar sounds were his effects, so, what do I know? He definitely had a lot more on this album though.

to be fair I think Franks sounds are a bit more clear and amplified from previous work, but have definitely always heard Frank's synths.

please, next time you listen to digital bath or change, listen to it more carefully.
and this is 2 exemples on tons of songs. But this is the songs that made me open my eyes on Frank's work. on ATF i wasn't aware too much about it. (though his work on my own summer is easily hearable now)
Frank made Change the classic it is now, without him the song isn't half as good.
when i finally get to open the booklet and find out there is no more owls in there, and i dont see anymore names regarding the sounds/effetcs than frank,then i will be glad.maybe it shouldnt matter as long as it sounds good but if i found out warner payd some other pro's to help out ..
...or if i found out "u know those amzing effects at d.e? its really the dj from linkin park who did most of em" it would take a lot of the joy from it. i dont think it would be so strange if frank played his ilttle melodies and then some other producer guy added some sounds to it.
Maybe Frank kind of built more of an artist touch with his work with Crook in Decibel Devils?
mindset of a killer!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, those two I hear them on, as well as some others, but for the most part I couldnt hear them really. Like I said, maybe my headphones suck, but I hear them a lot more on DE, so, no idea.

some kind soul please hook me up with M83 remix
Deftones should release a b-side instead of a remix. I would rather buy it without the remix.
RS M83 is pretty cool. techno. reminds of the spawn sound track sorta, and that's a good thing
just listened to it again. i've listened to DE 4 times now, and it is incredible. trying not to overplay it, but they really stepped up to the plate and sent this one YARD!!
Listened to it four times? Damn. I listen to it pretty much wenever I'm online and not watching something. I have no self-control over such things, but it's all good, I can stay addicted to one song for months, so overplaying it doesnt really seem likely.

Risk is pretty bland, doesn't really change at all, just a big loop.
"born from the state"
got my pre order on. also an earlier release is nice news.

I love Risk, especially the lyrics.
I take it to be about an unsure superhero in a moment of crisis. That may just be the weed though.
actually Risk is moving up in my list of favs
My list:
1. 976-EVIL
2. This Place Is Death
3. Royal
4. Prince
5. Beauty School
6. Sextape
7. Diamond Eyes
8. Risk
9. You've Seen The Butcher
10. Rocket Skates
11. CMND/CTRL
The cliche list lol
1. Royal
2. CMND/CTRL
3. Prince
4. This place is death
5. Beauty School
6. Sextape
7. Diamond eyes
8. Rocket Skates
9. Risk
10. You've seen the butcher
11. 976-evil
According to my play count:
1.sextape
2.risk
3.royal
4.de
5.prince
6.evil
7. r s
8.beauty
9.death
10.command
11.butcher
All the songs that I thought were good but not my favorites have moved up, so basically I have no favorites now...but Sextape is probably at the bottom. It's always like that. The songs I at first dont like or love, end up being the ones I'm addicted to. Ah, I dont mind, it'll last a long time. You guys have been fans a lot longer than I though, so it's crazy that you've basically been waiting yrs for new songs, and you're limiting the amount of time you listen to it. That's strength, man.
^dig your This Place Is Death rating... great song. CMND/CTRL too though...
anyone noticed how they fuck around with the time signatures there? take the verse:
1| 7/8-8/8-7/8-7/8, then first 3 flipped to
2| 8/8-7/8-8/8-7/8
then 2nd verse is '1' and '2' flipped. (and both repeated after eachother as the songoutro).
and DE chorus is 11/12 timing. still poppy.
prince is topping it for me right now.
(+) 1- Prince
(+) 2- Beauty School
(+) 3- Sextape
(-) 4- Royal
(0) 5- You've seen the butcher
(+) 6- Rocket Skates

YSTB

976 has stayed at #1 for the last couple of days for me. Im just really feeling it. The lyrics are so unbelievably passionate. Love it
But all songs are fantastic and unique.
^976 chorus ends like Fireal huh.
When I listen to This Place is Death, especially the faster main verse parts, I can't help but think of some kind of scary, hectic nightmare/dream sequence. It's the weirdest thing because I connect that vision to the song every time I hear it now...
Almost reminds me of the MoS video or something from the later Doom levels/games that are in Hell lol.

That is too funny. I have been playing doom and listening to this album on my iPod. The title of that song relates to lost btw.
Was listening to 976-evil on laptop speakers and couldn't hear the bass which changes the whole key of the song during the verses. It's brilliant. Risk is another fave of mine purely for the line "i'll save your life". That's beautiful.

I can't really make a list out of the songs. They so belong together, they're all great in their own way. I do know the latter half of the record has grown on me tremendously. First half is great to get pumped before going out, second half is deeper, like the night is on the end and you just want to chill in the car driving to anywhere with the sun slowly coming up.
I do know Risk was my least favourite and now its one of my favourites. It reminds me of Adrenaline a great lot.

You are right. I totally miss Chino's powerful and real high notes. That was some sick skills.
actually he used that voice at cherry waves ''suuuuuuuck'' part
ahhh cherry waves, such a fine track. snw really does have some of their best songs. riviere, kimdracula, combat, cherry waves, xerces. snw is solid, only mein and pcp are letdowns really. that said DE murders both snw and st combined. they decided not to half ass it anymore, get out from underneath that dark cloud, and stop making just good albums(st & snw) and get back to GREAT albums

Funny thing is, those 'high notes' in Digital Bath, are his falsetto, just like the one in Cherry Waves where he goes 'Suuuuuuck' and the same with 976 'So I geeeeeeeeeeeeeeet'
So really, it's the same thing, just a bit lower. He can still do the Digital Bath highs man, anyone who knows how to sing in falsetto pretty much can. It's so much easier than belting highs.
yes, the odd rhythm "bu'duh duh de duh chun dun" is freakin killer. i see why he mentions it in that interview that they never did anything like it before. nylons and suspenders
his voice is finally starting to recover from the MAJOR DAMAGE he did to it like 9 years ago

Totally man.
I've never heard anything like it, not even Meshuggah has done something like that. Which is why I'm so in love with this album, a lot of fresh stuff going on. I love how him and Abe have locked on to the odd time signatures, it completely throws you off for about 100 listens, then you catch on.
It's just that bit where Chino wails and then he has a backing vocal that rises in tone slowly, along with it. It's just fuckin' awesome..

Also taking note of how damn healthy he looks now. It's scary, he looks like Chino from the end of ATF/beginning of White Pony days!
I tell ya, the chorus to I've seen the butcher is Death from above 1979!

Agreed. I cannot help but feel that we are at the beginning of the "Golden Age" of Deftones not the "Golden Years".
There is no doubt in my mind that Chi's situation has given the band renewed focus on their own futures and their art.
true that man, i just wish chi wud get better and throw in his talent , not that im puttin down sergio, his work is excellent on the album
the more i listen the more i realize that is quite possibly there best work..i cant stress that enough.might be just me but its my fav...

A little pissed off. I guess WB pulled all the leak links quick fast and in a fucking hurry. I've already payed for the goddamn album and they mopped up all the links before I could get to them. Fuckers. Any chance they'll release anything else to those of us who have already purchased the album? And i mean more than that piss poor remix of rocket skates
yeah, poor you for not being able to use the internet properly.
besides, it's not your right in any way to be able to download the leak before the album comes out, or get any other bonuses just because you've already ordered it. find something else to cry about.
right, I can't use the internet properly because I'm not as adept at being some pre-pubescent pimply faced drain or some Starbucks employed idiot that steals their entertainment because I don't have an education or real job. Not exactly a logics major were you? But hey, at least your king of the interwebz! Idiot
getting the leak isn't really a challenge, that's all I'm saying.
and you're not making a good first impression there, buddy. 2 posts and 2 strikes. a third and you're out.
lol, so let me get this straight, you're threatening to ban me from an internet forum (lol) because I posted an initial frustration due to the fact that while having actually paid for the album I can't listen to it while others who have stolen it can, got a shitty response from a moderator whom I guess was trying to sound witty and i don't know......maybe.....defensive? by getting on soapbox about how WB "doesn't owe us anything," which of course had absolutely jack shit zero to do with what I had said. If you can actually follow that line of reasoning, then you're the only one and I envy you living in your own little world where you can weave together completely nonsensical, non-sequitur threads of bullshit and somehow feel empowered by it. Wow. IN any case, I did find it, and have since downloaded due to a helpful person on another board. So there ya go tough guy, push that manly man ban button, lol, like anyone gives a fuck. Have a nice day.
Honestly doesn't anyone know how to use google? This guy had get from another person on another board. Epic fail.
ehh..wel both sides of the argument have good points but im neutral
anyways..........
Yeah moving on.
I think "Beauty School" next single...but "Prince" is better in my opinion. "mindset of a killer" would be a good line chorus for a single?
sure, why not?
censorship?
You know what I wish the guys would reconsider doing? Does anybody remember like 2 years ago, when Chino had mentioned that they were going to perform their whole discography by performing a whole album, from start to beginning, in different cities? Now would be the time to do that, especially with DIamond Eyes ready to hit the shelves.
yeah..like the cure did in Trilogy...that was awesome.

nah, I believe its OK. Ive seen worst cases getting a lot of airplay.
They played all of Adrenaline in Vancouver a couple years ago didn't they?
deftones should take a hint from coheed and do a neverender-esque dvd set.
Everytime I listen to You've Seen The Butcher, I hear banging, and I dont know if it's frm the actual song, or I have a ghost in my room that likes the song and likes to express its enjoyment...hm...
in my opinion. i feel like this is Chino's album.. i mean, yeah it's the Deftones. but the vocals on the entire album are so amazing. on par with adrenaline and around the fur. especially the lyrics he sings to "Risk" - which are without a doubt about Chi.
you can't talk.
i'm anxious.
i'm off the walls
i'm right here just
come outside and see it
well, pack your heart - you might need it.
i'll find a way,
i'm confused, though.
but i think i can try.
i will save your life...
i will try for you.
you're locked up.
no exit.
you did it before, and i've seen it.
come outside.
and breathe air.
relax your arms and let me in.
i'll find a way,
i'm confused, though.
but i think i can try.
i will save your life...
i'll try for you.
i know what to say to take you higher.
no one else can take you higher, but i will try.
i'll find a way.

listen to this song, and read the lyrics. this song is about Chi for sure. The emotion in Chino's voice nearly brings me to tears and gives me chills.

it's real easy to jump the good ol' "abuse of power" argument, huh? it's interesting how people think they can behave however the fuck they want, then when someone calls them out on it they have to make a fuss about it.
we have a no leaks policy here, so this place isn't exactly where you should be coming to cry about the leak. and having a really bad attitude and calling people idiot on top of that doesn't really make anything better. I have no reason to ban you as long as you refrain from using personal attacks as some sort of argument.

So it's not like this album is missing Chi's presence. This album has his name all over it, just like the rest of them.

If you think these are the same vocal things, you're definitely tone deaf.
i'm really proud of them, i honestly thought they'd never get out from underneath that black cloud. 03-08. don't get me wrong, they were still writing good stuff, but something wasn't right and i knew they could do better. it was like they were just going through the motions, and thought of it as their job, not their passion. still made real solid stuff, but ehhh. i been a huge fan since late 95, and i knew something was off. now they're back it seems, snapped out of that slumber, the sleeping giant has finally awoke
c'mon man, s/t got some of their best stuff on it.of course u dont like dark heavy shit like s/t when your more into songs poppy songs like hoburg hop,linus, freaks and gift etc that doesnt make s/t a bad or lack of passion, you just have goofy taste thats all ;)
besides that, diamond eyes is great, def top 3
It's not a coincidence if that album is called " Deftones " if you know what I mean. S/T is definitely one of the most intense albums that exist and 2003 was the witness of some of their best concerts ever, on the mood point. It was dark as hell, but yet so delicious. It's probably the reason actually.

I agree, S/T and SNW times were definitely dark. They were slowly coming out of it with SNW. But I think it's down to their attitude and outlook on the band. Like you said, it became their job, simply because their label sucks ass. But now they're going full pelt, despite this and all of the issues they once had, are gone. It's all about the experience and the art. How it was before the aftermath of White Ponys huge success kicked in.

Yeah, the falsetto.. a lot of people use it when they can not full pelt a note anymore. I guess that's what happens when you've been recording/playing shows for 20 odd years.

I don't see him belting.. I see him using his falsetto :) Cause once you hit that high note, you can push it and it's almost like making a high pitched wail of a cat.
I don't know if you sing, but I have the same range as Chino/Matt Bellamy (Muse) and belting that high note in Digital Bath just takes it out of you..
Oh no wait, I'm tone deaf. :D
I don't hear that much of a difference. his voice is a bit more rough in Digital Bath. probably has more to do with effects than anything else.
I sing, and I can easily make high notes, it doesn't take it out of me. These are true high notes.
Surprising that you can't make the difference between the notes in Digital Bath and 976-EVIL, since you're a singer.

I can and that's what I'm trying to tell you lol because as soon as he says ''Feel Like'' I can hear the switch in his voice as he's about to push out 'More' and I hear/feel the same thing when I sing it myself. But you're the Master vocalist, so ok.. he's belting the note :)

There's an obvious difference between DB notes and 976 notes. The pitch is the same, the vocal trick is not.
DB notes = Bored notes, Root notes, etc.

Sounds the same to me, just a different effect over his voice than the one on Digital Bath. It's a lot more echoey and distant.

I just did? :) We could argue about it all day, but it really doesn't matter. The only thing that spurred me into the arguement is because people always bang on about Chino's vocals being weaker. Yet his range has hardly changed, the only thing that ever affected it was his weight at the time. Since he was clearly unhealthy after getting off the coke. Which he admitted himself in his interview with Kerrang ages back.
If either of us get to meet him from this point on.. maybe we should just be trivial and ask him if it's a belter or a falsetto note, just for clarification ;)
I am surprised that so many people dislike the ST. I can not think for a bad song in it. As to the new album, I am becoming addicted to it.

Don't know if this was serious or not, but seriously, if I meet him somewhen, I'll definitely ask him some stuff about his voice and vocal skills.
Got to know another thing, during the oldschool days, and especially Like Linus era, Chino was definitely using his head voice way more.
And Chino's voice IS weaker. His high notes tend to track, he can't scream for long anymore, he's forcing a LOT to pull off a not-so-hard high notes that he could easily pulled off back then.

true that, he did it at ''bored'' and root's end, too..
There's obvious difference between ''feel like'' and ''so i get''
pitch is the same but vocal trick is not
btw you guys are smart, its a musical arguement..do it till the end of the end
i really wanna to see your opinions..
ves can you record your voice for this two parts ?
first try to sing the real high note for ''feel like more'' and then try the belter note

Doesn't sound like it on this album, he sounds like he does on White Pony. But yes, Birthmark is a prime example of his head voice.. when he was practically a kid.
But yes I was being serious.

s/t is one of their finest work with terry date and snw is their shittiest stuff,done with ezrin and lopez... thats why i just hate when people lump those two records together because they sound nothing like each other.
so what if the band went through bad times during the making of the two, music wise theyre very distant from each other.
as for the new album.. im trying my best not to over play it too much... such great stuff.. i get all dizzy thinking of it. but boy did it leak too early :-\
^ My point exactly.
his voice was really strong during the like linus era, no tricks no struggles with high notes. it's been damaged but it's still awesome
I really wonder what he would sound like on Passenger with his previous skills. Really.
off the subject, but does anyone think Stef should maybe do the next album using a 6 string again? i dunno, i just kinda prefer his 6 string sound of the first 3 albums
i just prefer 6 string guitars in general i guess

Just watched the video of that. He didn't pull it off at all. ::)
Chinos voice sounds so different from the linus days. Gift / Guest is my favorite from the demos his voice is pretty magical on that one.
Chi's intro bass line gets me everytime. :'(
But seriously if you listen to those demos and then listen to diamond eyes now way you would think it was the same band.
And when chinos on its nothing short of amazing.

Just watched the video of that. He didn't pull it off at all. ::)
Maybe it was at the Guildhall then in 2007, it was a few days after. Find that video and let me know :)

I really wonder what he would sound like on Passenger with his previous skills. Really.
He pulled it off when I saw them at Brixton in 2007, was quite shocked. So I can only imagine.. maybe he was due to sing that part. But got Maynard to instead.

i just prefer 6 string guitars in general i guess
I doubt he'll be going back to 6 string, that must feel like a childs guitar compared to the 7/8, he does have huge hands after all!
I heard that he's got a 9 string and it's using it with solinvicto.
I honestly hope he doesn't use it with deftones. I personally see no point in it.

I am surprised that so many people dislike the ST. I can not think for a bad song in it.
s/t is one of their finest work with terry date and snw is their shittiest stuff,done with ezrin and lopez... thats why i just hate when people lump those two records together because they sound nothing like each other.
so what if the band went through bad times during the making of the two, music wise theyre very distant from each other.
you are now my best friend.
seriously though, agree 100% with you.

i've always had the same feeling. ST is one of my favorites and it just has a MASSIVE sound. hands down best sound stephen has gotten.
Man i fuckin love s/t. My first deftones record, and it just made me feel unique for liking this band cuz they didn't sound anything like what was on the radio at the time. It was like discovering the bermuda triangle. And that minerva video was so trippy.
I disliked S/t for so long because it was such a huge disapointment to me after white pony. I thought tons of things were missing to make it an epic album like WP. The songs seemed unfinished and thrown together with no cohesiveness. Now i like it with more perspective, but it is still one of my least favorite from them.
but a least favorite deftones album is better than most bands could ever hope for.
and i always disliked moana, for i don't know why, im sorry moana lovers.

that's exactly my relationship to S/T as well.
but I on the other hand love Moana :)
and Battle-Axe, which is probably the best song on the album. might be one of their best songs ever actually.
I also think Battle-Axe is their greatest song, ever.

definitively, it-s time for him to go back. but I should admit I like the 8 stringed more than the 7.
Oh, and I definetively preffer SNW over s/t because of all the colours snw has in their songs and ST doesnt.
sometimes i dont get why other people then do like tones. that "goosebumping lushness" (!) is more than represented on snw; hole in the eart, beware, cherry waves, riviere and other (partially) spacey tracks like mein or rats.
I love ST, but I remember I first listened to it before I actually liked more than a few songs, and I listened to Hexagram first, and thought..."NO. Too loud/scream-ish" and didnt go back to it for quite a while afterwards, wen they all grew on me. I'm weird like that. I hated Rx Queen at first and dont even remember why, but then went back to it and adored it. Still, Adrenaline and Around The Fur are perhaps the albums I like the least amount of songs on, so I guess it's just that I find that their music's improved a lot since then, into more the kind of thing I like.
I remember thinkin the same about Hexagram first time I heard. That opening riff had me going and them bam! the screamin comes in. After a while it just grew on me.
Adrenaline is still my fav although DE might take over...Adrenaline is what got me into the Deftones...So unique.The screaming an emotions in the songs...Hooked right away.And as they progressed as did i with there music...All there albums are my favorite...

Yeah its been discussed. It sounds pretty much the same except more like deftones and less like team sleep
ahh
This is the first I've seen any mention of the vinyl format:
http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Eyes-Deftones/dp/B003A7I53O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1269584443&sr=1-2 (http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Eyes-Deftones/dp/B003A7I53O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1269584443&sr=1-2)
I thought for sure it would be on the official site pre-order if they were going to produce it at all and when I didn't see it, I assumed there would be no vinyl. Of course, amazon.com is not the most reliable source in these matters.

i feel the same, it was a major letdown. writers block? Chino's melodies and ideas just weren't top notch for him. he seemed a bit offkey at times too. his worst vocals on an album, sound and melody wise. good lyrics though, as usual. songs seem unfinished, uninspired, lazy, lack of enough tempo changes, hexagran has 2 riffs. seems like a bsides album. it was still my fav album of the year. it's good.their worst,kills what most bands could make at their best
i felt the same about white pony, it was a major letdown from around the fur. then s/t came out and everything was good again.
anyway, isn't this thread for DE?

Quote from: sing blue silver on Mar 26, 2010, 05:08 PM

indeed. Personally my favorite album.
twilight zone, it's like all the S/T diehards on earth all came here, and only here. it's widely considered their worst album by the rest of the planet, and the band themselves. i never heard anyone outside this board say it's their best. i like it, but i find it bizzare you all think the same. join us.... join us... join us
For a second there I thought I was on a thread about the S/T album. lol. ;) I like S/T but it's for sure not my fave. It's Stephs album and I know I've read interviews where Chino said he wasn't that happy with it. But still... Better then 99% of albums ever made so it's still fucking awesome
yea i wish we could get back to DE discussion
So... I haven't listened to D/E yet. I'm holding out. But which of the Tones past album do you think it sounds the most like? (I mean I'm sure it's totally different.) But if you HAD to choose? 8)

Chinos voice sounds so different from the linus days. Gift / Guest is my favorite from the demos his voice is pretty magical on that one.
Chi's intro bass line gets me everytime. :'(
But seriously if you listen to those demos and then listen to diamond eyes now way you would think it was the same band.
And when chinos on its nothing short of amazing.
Gift / Guest - it's the same song with the alternate name or two different songs?
WP if had had to compair it. the boy's republic kinda vibe on some tracks. but it's pretty different, mainly Chino bringing so many fresh melodies, and his vocals my be the best on any album. he really brings it

my God that song is incredible
The initial effect of the album is gone from me, I only really like Royal, Cmd/cntrl YSTB and Prince.
Definately wouldnt rank it above WP or ATF.
i still love them all after many many listens. only one that doesn't really do it for me is sextape.
Still love DE as much when i first listen to it.
Always plays the whole album
i've still only listened to it 4 times, so i can't rank it yet. but it looks like top 3 for sure. how high it can rank is yet to be decided
My ranking ( don't know if I already posted it ):
White Pony
Deftones
Around the Fur
Adrenaline
Diamond Eyes
Saturday Night Wrist
Love the record, but ain't good enough to be in my top 3.
let down by this album. even the tracks I like are only sub par.
Royal
Rocket Skates
You've Seen The Butcher
and one more I can't remember are my tracks...the rest is boring. I like the M83 remix...
Prince is definitely an S/T song.

Around The Fur
Deftones
White Pony
Saturday Night Wrist
Adrenaline
i'm going to leave Diamond Eyes out for now but it's looking like it's a shoe in for second or third place. nothing can replace around the fur because of the memories with that album and it obviously being their best and most energetic, exciting and inspired record. most people get that feeling from white pony but around the fur does it for me every time, every song.
now for the Diamond Eyes
1. Beauty School
1.5. Prince
2. Royal
3. CMND/CTRL
4. Rocket Skates
5. 976-EVIL
6. Risk
7. TPID
8. YSTB
9. Diamond Eyes
10. Sextape
I get a s/t feel from 'this place is dead'

i'm always half expecting the RX Queen lyrics to come in. feels like RX Queen 2.0 but it's still a fucking jam and a half and the chorus', i agree are very S/T sounding but that's how i likes it.
prince or anything on DE doesn't remind me of S/T at all, thankfully
and everyone is making the prince rx queen comparison, and i don't hear it, the verse is different enough to not make me think rx queen, and the rest is way different. 2 totally different songs really

Definitley. He obviously must become self-titleized. He must join the collective.
Seriously, though, I thought I was the only one who really dug s/t until I came here. I was suprised at the love.
I agree with prince having the street carp vibe, although it is a much better song as a whole. I think everybody gets that impression from the bass riff.

Just....... wow....
I can't really rate one deftones album over another, the list will change almost weekly depending on my mood. For example, today I played SNW and actually enjoyed it very much.
it's been forever since i listened to the first 4 deftones albums. 06 sept me and some friends went to see deftones(we hung out with them for like 8 hours the day before), and the friend that drove us insisted on me bringing a few deftones cds, so i brought adrenaline and atf. last time i heard those, and before that last time i listened to all 4 was 2004. 5 months ago i was at a party and someone threw in S/T, maybe the first 5 songs played before it got switched. i've listened to those albums so much i decided to give them a massive break. don't know when i'll break them out again, 5 years, who knows. i think it's good to give albums a break, even your favorites, all albums no matter the band need a break
Here is some news.
The Deftones Film Video For "Diamond Eyes
"The Deftones recently wrapped up filming a new video for their track "Diamond Eyes" with director Roboshobo (Metallica, Mastodon). You can expect to see it in the coming weeks. The song itself serves as the title track to the bands new album which was recently brought forward to a May 04th release date."

I've been reliving all the old deftones albums since I'm trying to hold out on the new album til it comes out. lol. I forgot how amazing some of the stuff is. Like for sure the hard to find stuff. Got the live album where in the middle of bored Chino stops the song cos some kid lost his shoe in the pit. Then Chino's all like "I lose a pair of shoes everynight" Ah classic. :)
sweet, another video :)

He's crooning and singing in a new way to me and I don't like it. I know its good for them to go in a new direction...but im not enjoying it. I need more time with it at this point.

I love sex. I try to have it every day. I sure as hell am not going to give it a break for 5 years.
Same goes for steak, bacon, drinking, smoking and Deftones.
The Prince appears like a sequel to RX queen to me, a lot in the song is similar.
Nice sig, deftjess. It's from bizarre 2000, right ?
i've listened to deftones a decent amount since then, just not the first 4 albums. snw, b'sides, covers, like linus, and now diamond eyes are all on the menu

you guys play "FAIL" out so much. it's like when EVERYONE ON EARTH quoted Friday none stop. "daammmn" "and you know this, man", etc. or from the bud light commercial in 2000 "WASSSUP!". overuse of "FAIL" and pwn3d, etc is just as retarded. it's played out
i know, you'll quote this with "FAIL". like it applies to everything including good points like this. anyone who quotes this with "FAIL" or a smartass pic or comment is openly admitting they have sex with their own mother
hahaha oh man i must have humiliated this hidalgo fella, cause he is ALWAYS up my ass about nothing and everything ;D
no, i actually kinda like you, got no beef with you whatsoever. you're pretty funny at times too. just pointin out certain sayings can really get played out. nothing personal at all. you're a good kid
yeah but you gotta understand im from the other side of the globe so we're a little bit after you guys regarding expressions ;)
haha
it's not just you, it's overused like a mothereffer all over. mostly by teens i assume or early 20s
yeah ok, but if everyone use it then its good because then everybody will understand what i meant. mission accomplished
do whatever makes you happy. maybe i'm just a grouch, it's just a bit annoying seeing "FAIL" everywhere. i guess i'm just old school, didn't grow up with these moronic sayings, thankfully. like my cousin says "tits" now instead of cool or whatever, and "trim" instead of girls or pussy or whatever. hearing him say those is like nails on a chalk board, he's 30 like me and started using them like 2 years ago. stick with the stuff you've said 95% of your life. blah, i'm just easily annoyed i guess.

I have sex with my mother... NOT!
Sorry, couldn't resist. We could bring NOT! back. It's been awhile...
"NOT" was bigtime in 1991, that and "psych". lol
i been trying to bring back "squab" from 1996. it's too ridiculous to not bring back

my fav inside the nba moment. they were talking about some player grabbed chris Caveman's junk during a boxout, and their conversation was hilarious
Ernie "he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar"
Barkley "i don't know where you get your cookies from Ernie"
and it's always funny when they show the clip of Ernie in the short basketball shorts, and Kenny always says "he's smuggling grapes!" , and Ernie laughs all embarrassed. ahh those 3 are too much

So what do you think? I think it is safe to say that it exceeded 98% of this board's expectations. As for myself, I don't forsee anything coming close in 2010. I have said it before but this is a band at the top of thier game. Regardless of how you want to rank the albums, Diamond Eyes is a monumental achievement.

I'm agreeing with you. Wen Chino said it was similar to White Pony (lyrics-wise anyways), I was excited about it. Wen I heard Diamond Eyes it kinda lowered my expectations a little (even though I love the song) but it definitely was better than I thought it'd be, so respect to them for that.

Franks effects in Prince are unbelievable!!!!
I think a lot of people (by Deftones standards of late) will get into the Deftones off the back of Diamond Eyes. To me every Deftones record since ATF has been very 'alternative' in comparison to the mainstream market it's being entered into. For me Deftones have relied on the listeners willingness to invest their time getting to grips with their last few albums. Diamond Eye's doesn't seem to have these shackles, i think the songwriting and most importantly the melodies are such that they just work instantly, it's not like WP or ST, where you're left piecing together the puzzle.
Three words to describe it:
fresh, accessible, relevant

I feel m83 on Beauty School too, which has really grown on me.
I didn't much care for it first listen, but now, after near 80, it's one of my favourites on the album.
The first 6 songs are fucking dynamite - can't wait to hear the final versions (maybe even on vinyl?)

listened to it again earlier, good stuff
After nearly 10 straight days of listening to nothing but Diamond Eyes, I found myself compelled to throw Adrenaline on. I hadn't listened to it in awhile, and songs from it don't usually come up in shuffle (I blame Steve Jobs).
It fucking ruled.
I had somehow forgotten how great that album really is, (especially Fireal).
So if you find yourself disaffected by the band's new direction (unlike me), maybe you should grab some headphones, a bong (&c.), and put on Adrenaline.
If nothing else, it certainly makes for a lovely Sunday evening.
Everyone has the whole damn album already. Just post the remix on YouTube or something. Still gunna buy it but I just want to hear the remix.

I did the same, I was working on my new guitar (re-doing the paint) and I listened to White Pony, Around The Fur and Adrenaline and it just reminded me why I love this band so much. Adrenaline is my all time favourite, it reminds me of the days I use to listen to it non-stop whilst playing Pokemon on my gameboy. And luckily I got to see them play it all live in a club.
Also, a lot of Chino's vocals on DE are so reminiscent of Adrenaline vocals. With the high distortion and whispered sighs.
Not really album related but in case you have a Samsung Genio Qwerty (whatever the fuck that is):
http://www.knowyourmobile.com/samsung/Samsungcorbytxt/samsunggenioqwertythemes/450839/deftones_theme_for_the_samsung_genio_qwerty.html (http://www.knowyourmobile.com/samsung/Samsungcorbytxt/samsunggenioqwertythemes/450839/deftones_theme_for_the_samsung_genio_qwerty.html)
I haven't listened to DE in 3 days now after averaging 3 a day since the leak. Hoping I'm excited again when the realness is in my hands! I listened to a few of their records relentlessly when they dropped and got burnt out temporarily with them. Hoping DE holds a place in my heart after years of listening like the rest have. By the way, thanks again guys for the right connections on the leak and like I said, I'll still buy it bc a matter of fact, I'm buying 7 for family n friends who wouldn't necessarily go out and buy the record. Love em till DEATH!!!!!!!!!
Haha!!! silly me. just noticed the "nOOb" by my name and put it together with "get bored", "teenager", etc. Pretty slick. I guess it'll be a while before I become a "teenager" with hair on the ballsack!!LOL Can't I be a "doob" for now? ;)
buying 7? that's awesome, the band would definitely appreciate that

Its almost like the boys wanted to make something for Chi to listen to while in the coma. At least I get that feeling when I listen to it.
Almost like Chino is saying get your ass up buddy "Time will see us realign", "follow me into another realm", "I will save your life", etc etc. The entire album is this way. Like Chino is just chillin in Chi's dreams talking to him.
I posted this in the Twitter thread but it's definitely also relevant here:

This gets better, they actually have some recorded b-sides. Nice one! Let's hope Slopez does the biz on them. Perhaps as bonus tracks?!
that's awesome. Deftones rarely release bad b-sides.

i'm thinking the 1 nod to Chi on the album is 976
I think the entire album, in one way or another, is about Chi.
Its almost like the boys wanted to make something for Chi to listen to while in the coma. At least I get that feeling when I listen to it.
Almost like Chino is saying get your ass up buddy "Time will see us realign", "follow me into another realm", "I will save your life", etc etc. The entire album is this way. Like Chino is just chillin in Chi's dreams talking to him.

Well, I haven't posted on this site in years, probably since SNW came out. But anyway, fucking phenomenal return to form with Diamond Eyes. Love the whole thing, way better than SNW and s/t.

The Sputnik review is really good. It is nice to see great reviews for once. Thanks for finding these.
I like how the beginning of Diamond Eyes and This Place Is Death have the same soundscapes...reminds me of how White Pony songs had similar sounds to link the album together.

"While their self-titled LP was effectively White Pony 2"
???
im really just pleasantly surprised by the album, its really really good. shit actually it could be the best album of 2010, but im pretty biased.
i was a little worried after SNW, but not anymore
tell you the truth, when they tour i wouldnt mind them nixing some of the classics, and play diamond eyes start to finish
im dreaming tho, plus ive seen them like 4 times
fucking right, it really is an amazing record

http://moralfibre.co.za/blog/2010/03/deftones-diamond-eyes-review/ (http://moralfibre.co.za/blog/2010/03/deftones-diamond-eyes-review/)
The new material is heavy as ever – guitarist Stephen Carpenter's riffs grind fast and heavy for the most part and drummer Abe Cunningham pulls no punches on his kit, but with the exception of three or four tracks on the album, the rhythm section feels a lot looser than it was with Cheng at the helm.
The opening tracks "Diamond Eyes", "Royal" and "CMND/CTRL" are pretty standard Deftones fair and didn't make much of an impression on the first listen, though the soaring chorous of "Diamond Eyes" starts to grow on you fast and the syncopated rhythm of "CMND/CTRL", coupled with frontman Chino Morino's screeching vocals (which, by the way, have never sounded better) will definitely get you sitting up and listening.
From there on in the album just gets better and better.
The softer and slower "Beauty School" is a great example of what Vega is capable of when given some space to work with and is reminiscent of the killer track, "The Passenger" which the band did with Tool singer Maynard James Keenan on arguably their best album to date, 2000's White Pony.
The lyrics "You're shooting stars / From the barrels of your eyes / It drives me crazy / Just drives me wild" are poetic in their simplicity and come across as being sincere without sounding gag-inducingly cheesy.
There are two other tracks recorded in a similar style on the album, 'Sextape' and '976-EVIL' and to be honest these are my three favourite tracks on the album.
The simple fact is that the new lineup just seems to handle the quieter tracks better. The heavier tracks like 'Rocket Skates' (the first single), 'Risk' and 'This Place Is Death' do have their strong points, but without Cheng's signature basslines, they lack the punch that made albums like Around The Fur (1997) and White Pony (2000) truly great.
The song 'Prince' is perhaps the closest the band gets to capturing that old, badass Deftones sound. It builds to a powerful chorous and makes no apologies as it tears through you like a bone saw.
In my opinion, there are three possible futures for a band like Deftones after Diamond Eyes. The first is to stay in safe territory and record a follow-up to Diamond Eyes that sounds much the same, but the formula will get old fast and chances are the band will slowly start to drop off the radar.
The second would be for the band to explore the sound they've perfected on the quieter tracks on the album and take their material in a direction that is slightly more chilled out (by Deftones' standards) and more widely accessible.
The third future, sadly, is probably the least likely because it would only happen if Cheng woke up from his coma. He would become a rock legend instantly and, if he was still able to record and tour with the band, could finish working on the album they were recording prior to his accident, Eros, which according to Morino was their most experimental, unorthodox and edgy project to date.
Sure, it's idealistic, but for the sake of his fans and family I hope he recovers. In the meantime though, hats off to the guys for sticking to their guns and recording an album which, while it might not be their best, still kicks a whole lot of ass and proves without a doubt that no matter what happens, you can't keep a good band down.
Final verdict: 7/10

I actually heard Diamond Eyes single on the radio last night on my way back from Mammoth Mountain, except the dj fuct up when he said it's from their 4th upcoming album, but other then that it was cool just hearing it on the air.
someone said how the tracks flow into one another . i agree . some of the tracks if you repeat them almost sound like 1 long song also. some . not all.

diamond eyes its an analogue to shine on your crazy diamond by pink floyd.
both great albums, by the way.

Wish You Were Here is a fucking amazing album. Along with Animals.
Never been into Pink Floyd, but You've seen the butcher reminds me of them and, despite my lack of love, I think it's one of the best and most innovative songs on DE.

I doubt it. Interesting however, that both songs are about a 'lost' band member (assuming the Deftones song is about Chi). I hadn't made that connection. As much as I enjoy Diamond Eyes the song, it is not even in the same universe as Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

You're right, but actually posting the reviews up a month before the album is released is kind of early. I like seeing the reviews up when the album drops. just sayin'

Ok now I really need the CD copy. There"s so many sounds on these tracks and the fucking bass parts are killer. But this crappy rip quality is starting to annoy me.
It is not so bad but I agree that the bass does take a major hit.
No, the bass does not take a major hit.
Listen to it through some real speakers and a sub or 2.. The bass is pretty damn fat.
i agree, i just blew my amp up the other day playing prince.

You don't want to buy vinyl from amazon. They ship it in a box, not an LP mailer, and it fucks up the cover.

I think in Belgium that is considered a formal greeting isn't it? We should be honored if you do I guess?
No. It's a coarse and stinky manner and should get offended or disturbed if I farted in front of you. You may also laugh, depends on what humor you've got.
That's some of the things you'd see in Belgium. We're used to be, you know... normal.
Back on topic.
I've listened to Diamond Eyes again and again and I am now used to it and can say that people thinking that it's the best thing they've ever written are beyond me.
Sure, it's a great piece of music. I enjoy it a LOT.
But honestly... No way. White Pony, Adrenaline, S/T, ATF and even SNW in some parts have more things that make me love deftones.
Shit on my opinion, don't give a crap. But to me, it's just wrong to think it's their best record.
I won't shit on your opinion, but I will shit on the fact that you think it's "wrong" to think it's their best record. because by doing so, all you're really doing is shitting on other people's opinions. tastes differ, buddy.
Quote from: Jacob on Apr 08, 2010, 10:35 PM

As you said, that's what I think. Never put it as a statement, buddy.
Easy Boys!!!
I am glad you brought this up. First off I have been a fan since the start. I am conflicted because I straight up LOVE Diamond Eyes. I understand that when I get something new from the band I am always in love with it at first. However it is hard to call this their best work knowing that Chi is not on the record.
Sergio is great and I love his work as well but again it is not the same. It would be very hard for me to say which record is best.
Maybe that is why I love Deftones so much. I think it is ALL good. Today my favorite record is Diamond Eyes. In three months it will be White Pony or ATF. Who knows........I am mysterious like that 8)
Just my two cents....
I feel the same way about DE as I did with WP when it came out for some reason. Never got that with ST and SNW.
You rock, 976.
All I know is its 100 times better than SNW. Deftones are BACK!

hehe, although i participated in many lists, this time i wasnt really making a list in the same way as this site is known for. that was just a post to say my 3 fav songs from the first listen is the same in the end, that the rest of the songs arent growers. tpid is the exception. i have to explain it this way cause sl members only communicate in list-ways ;)
you guys are high. you've seen the butcher is pure sex.
yeah i absolutley love ystb too. what i meant was the tracks that seemed great were great and the less great were less great. thats was just a top 3. sometimes stuff can change with time and u discover new things at songs u didnt fancy in the beginning. didnt happen at de. but diamond is awesome anyway
It happened to me though. Favourite tracks were Royal and Prince in the beginning. I still love them, but now my favourite tracks are YSTB, Sextape and 976-Evil

Lmao. That was a mock up that a member of sharinglungs made
Ah well, its easily as good as the official cover.
i was thinking today....you know that 'woo' chino does after the chorus on rocket skates, after watching the video, i think he only does it so he can inhale sharpely and lubricate his throat to recover from the screams so he's ready to sing the more melodic verses. other than that, it really isn't about 'woo's' in deftones. needless to say it was a slow news day in my brain today.

Nah, I just think he did that on purpose because he's feeling the groove of the song.

Quote from: wheresmysnare on Apr 12, 2010, 08:50 PM

On the record, there are no inhaling " Whoo ! ". There are " Hey !!! ". Never heard Chino doing that live, though. Don't like the " Whoo " he does live on Hole In The Earth either.
think i must be thinking of the live hole in the earth then yeah. anyway was just a bs theory based on the video of rocket skates.
i like HITE, especially the guitars. it seems like one of their more technical songs guitar wise. i listened to snw for the first time last night in maybe over a year, and i really enjoyed it. rapture is awesome. cherry waves, xerces, uudd, combat, kimdrac, riviere. all reaally good. i like all of it, even mein and pcp, but her rant is uncool and just vile. i dunno why some of you hate it so much, it's pretty darn good. s/t and snw aren't enemies, you can like both. i know i do. those 2 are deftones worst, but damn they're still very solid album. DE is better than both though. my best friend even listened to it cause his brother hyped it up so much, and he told me he thought it was awesome. he never really listened to snw or s/t. he was really on board for the first 3 albums, and now DE. people are diggin this album, coming out of the woodwork
tidbit: they DID use protools for DE
and yea, i hear "HEY" in hite, not "woo". Chino just feeling the groove like tool "I SAID people tell me what to say"
The intro sound effect on HITE reminds me of the intro of '100%' by sonic youth
Quote from: wheresmysnare on Apr 12, 2010, 07:56 PM

hearing him do that just makes me think he's channeling his inner hr
+1 for thinking, today ;)
Lubricating his throat with air. Hmmm...
if you scream that hard generally a lot of the shit that was once in your throat will now be in your mouth. If he then breathes in sharpely by doing that inhaling whoo thing and brings said shit back down his throat the theory might work. I never expected to go to such lenghts expalining something that was based on 90% bull shit.
Or he could just swallow?
This theory deserves more attention.
Does Chino inhale? Or does he swallow?

One thing I haven't seen mentioned or questioned; Does Chino play any guitars on this album?
Of course he does. :P
I don't think he does
Quote from: MxKnife on Apr 15, 2010, 01:51 AM
I don't think he does
I hear two guitars on Royal ( for example )
Really. Guess I gotta listen to it more carefully
Yeah your right. I hear the other guitar at around 2:19. I could be wrong though.
pretty sure there are two guitars on Beauty School too. doesn't necessarily mean Chino plays on it, but to be honest the lead guitar sounds more like Chino's style than Stef's.
oh yea, Chino plays on the album. my guess is royal, beauty school, sex tape, 976, tpid
Quote from: Hidalgo on Apr 15, 2010, 09:23 AM

i agree with most of those. but i dont think he is on royal at least i hope not. because i want to see chino running around like a mad man during the live performance.
I also hear two guitars on Royal. plus we all know that the small solo part before the ending can't be Stef's.

seriously, this album grew on me, and it IS really good.
beats SNW totally. I really dig the more "sweet" vibes, but I also enjoy Risk, CMND/CTRL etc, cause damn, those are nice rocky sounds. And it's weird how Rocket Skates also grew on me and now makes complete sense. Good album, people, good album.
im also digging rocket skates more now, when it first leak i was prone to skipping it as it was old news, now everytime that opening riff kicks in it's really refreshing, raises the tempo nicely.

I listened a lot to Rocket Skates before the leak and loved it all along. when I finally heard the leak I thought I would be sick of it, but it fits in so perfectly and only got better. it's definitely one of the best songs on the album. kinda the same with Diamon Eyes - that one I didn't really like that much before I heard the entire album, but now that I hear it together with the other songs it totally kicks ass. such a great opener.

i read this in the Spin magazine :One of Moreno's favorite tracks, "Rocket Skates," is a "heavier" tune with "beautiful yet violent imagery," that has "a fantasy vibe" similar to "Knife Party," a hit from 2000's White Pony. But another newbie, "Nylons and Suspenders," marks a first for the 20-year-old band.
"Musically, it's something that we haven't done before," he explains. "It's very... sludgy, like a chainsaw-type of riff but very slow. I shouldn't say this, but it's clunky... in an awesome way."
I`m sure he`s talking about You`ve Seen The Butcher.

You have to admit, that shit is dope. It would have been perfect for something like rush n attack or rolling thunder.
Never said it was bad, I also imagined it with one of my old games.

it just sounds a bit tighter due to the VBR, you can totally pick up more bass and overall layers.

Sex, Deftones and Diamond Eyes [the White Pony comparison]. The EXTENSIVE/INTENSIVE Review.
Everyone who I've talked to recently about new music and new albums has probably heard me talk incessantly about how good the new Deftones album is. Honestly, it's not even out yet (comes out May 4th, 2 days after my birthday) and I'm always talking about it. I copped myself a copy as soon as it leaked because I could not wait to hear it. I just couldn't wait, I couldn't wait until May. I'm a music junkie, I had to hear it.
I'm a huge deftones fan and have been since about Grade 8. The Deftones were one of the very first "metal"/rock outfits I really got into on my own in my youth and they hold a very near and dear place in my heart next to old school Korn. So (obviously) this may be a wee-bit of a biased review.
Review is kind of bad word to use when talking about this album, because how could one "review" such a masterpiece. This is one of those albums you just sit down, shut up and listen to. You don't have to analyze it or try and make sense of it or decipher anything. You just let it hit you. You just let it in. Let it make sense on it's own, in it's own time. It's one of those type of albums. However, for the sake of spreading the word on it's awesomeness, I shall speak on it.
This album features way too many great elements that blow your mind upon hearing it. Everyone who's ever listened to the Deftones knows how awesome White Pony is, and is probably familiar with that feeling that White Pony evokes in you once you've heard it the second or third time around. Diamond Eyes gives you that feeling from the first second you put it on. It totally cuts to the chase and kicks your ass from the very first listen.
Deftones frontman, Chino Moreno's voice dominates the album and comes booming through on the title track and album opener, Diamond Eyes. Once the drums and guitar make their initial entrance and Chino's voice makes it's first appearance, things only get more intense and surreal. Moreno's vocal style sounds like that of an eager person with some harsh words to spit, and a soul on fire. The entire album plays out like that. Intense. Emotional. Genre defying and beautiful.
I hate writing about albums around their release because all the hype that surrounds the initial release of an album only serves to alter the reception of the album. Most times upon release, the music becomes lost in a sea of press, ridiculousness, hipster kids who don't know how to appreciate REAL tunage and view music as disposable on their 1G iPOD and redundant band "image building" but honestly I couldn't resist commenting on this album because 1) it's the Deftones, and they're alt-metal vets 2) It's been 4 years since they're released a new album and 3) Diamond Eyes is just too dope of an album to ignore.
Let's take a wild ride into the world of the new Deftones' project, Diamond Eyes. Picture this: throw together all the wild stylistic imagery that Deftones' were trying to achieve on their 2003 self-titled release (visible in songs like Lucky You, Deathblow & Bloody Cape) , the sheer awesomeness and ambiance of their career defining 2000 release, White Pony, the heavy, very spacey atmospheric elements of 2006's Saturday Night Wrist (visible on: Xerces, Hole in the Earth, Beware, Cherry Waves & Combat) and the heavy guitars/drumming heard on their really early work, 1995's Adrenaline and '97's Around The Fur and you've got Diamond Eyes.
Album opener and title-track, Diamond Eyes possesses this crazy atmosphere that's predominantly focused on heavy guitars and lots and lots of drums working in unison to create this absolutely wild sonic force. Royal rings like a song that could've been taken straight off of Saturday Night Wrist and subbed in for Rapture on that album. The overall stylistic elements of both songs sound strikingly similar. However, Rapture is a much doper song due to it's stronger nature, memorable hook and fierce attitude, while Diamond Eyes' Royal is much more melodic. The guitar driven CMND/CTRL is very heavy and oh so thick. It's definitely a throwback to the old school Deftones that everyone, including me, knows and loves. CMND/CTRL is Deftones circa Adrenaline and Around The Fur. It's a great tune. The most prevalent line in the song is "Switching command just because I can...", this line is repeated numerous times and is such a bomb ass line because it represents the Deftones so well. Their ability to switch up their style on this album (and over their 22 year old career) while still remaining relevant and consistent is blatantly evident on Diamond Eyes. The album goes from a very heavy place to a very atmospheric place and back very easily and effortlessly. Songs like This Place Is Death, whose lyrical content reads like a tripped-out dream, linger comfortably in between the heavy guitar & bass filled early-Deftones sound and the spacey, atmospheric sound found on later Deftones albums. This unique and almost perfect balance solidifies the diversity that previous Deftones albums, like their 2003 self-titled album, didn't fully accomplish. The transitions from each track to the next is seamless and intriguing. It's pleasently surprising how the sonic landscape on this new release can really drag you into the entire album and be in complete control of your emotional state with lead singer, Chino Moreno's voice and keyboardist, Frank Delgado's use of ambiance and atmospheric structure rendering you emotionally helpless and vulnerable. It's nuts and it's completely awesome.
Tracks on the album such as You've Seen The Butcher, Prince, and Rocket Skates are also amazingly well written tracks that are chalked full with guitarist Stephen Carpenters unmistakable stylistic influences. You've Seen the Butcher's lyrical content definitely slam dunks Moreno's attempt at making an album filled with disturbingly violent yet beautiful imagery that floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. Track 6, Prince, also succeeds at opening up their listeners' minds and drawing an image of what sounds like Moreno's ode to the mind frame of an ignored stage performer, which he undoubtedly is not.
The first single to be released from Diamond Eyes was Rocket Skates. Rocket Skates is a classic Deftones sounding track as well. It rocks like a tune straight off of Adrenaline, and it's got that Nosebleed, Engine No. 9 kinda vibe to it. Honestly, it's a great tune but due to it's chorus, "Guns, Razors, Knives", it's my least favourite track on this album. While Rocket Skates is reminiscent of a Deftones-type throwback, it's not at all representative of how much the Deftones have matured. It's still a bomb track and by far one of the best tunes in the Deftones repository. However, in comparison to the rest of the record Rocket Skates is not nearly as good as say Risk; which is another heavy song that has that old school vibe reminiscent to Bored and One Week (Adrenaline). Risk, like Rocket Skates, has that old school vibe but still REALLY represents how far they've come as a band and how much they've matured while sticking to their old school roots. What I'm trying to say is that; you can still evolve and stick to your roots, without "dumbing-down" or regressing the progression of your writing capabilities and lyrical content as an artist. Kna MEAN! Exactly! You know what I mean, but I don't have to say it like that ("Kna MEAN"). It's unnecessary. I hope, for the sake of back-trodden artistic expression, that song was really just meant to be written in such a juvenile manner. Either way it's lyrically the weakest song on the album and I'm all for back-trodden artistic expression, I'm totally down with it (check this entire site) so I can't hate on it. Consequently, that form of expression, makes Rocket Skates the weakest track on the album even tho I do still appreciate and enjoy it. Rocket Skates, much like my site, is a ghetto form of artistic expression that may slightly bring down the credibility of an artist in the eyes of a few, but it's honest artistic expression that feels good, and it's something which many can understand, relate to and appreciate.
LASTLY!! We move now forward, onwards, to my favourite tracks on the album! Beauty School, Sextape, 976-EVIL, and This Place Is Death are by FAR the BEST TRACKS on the album! Hands Down.
I've personally always been a very, very, VERY big fan of more melodic spacey elements that the Deftones have incorporated into their music later down in their career. White Pony was the shit to me. It is one of the 10 best albums of all time in my opinion. On my list, White Pony is UP THERE! So that being said, Beauty School, Sextape, 976-EVIL and This Place Is Death are on par with some of the best tracks on White Pony for me (Change In The House of Files, Rx Queen, Korea, Knife Party, Passenger). Nothing can touch the level of sheer awesomeness that those select Deftones songs possess, and yet, stylistically these four gems off of Diamond Eyes are rubbing shoulders with some of the White Pony greats. It's wild. There's this small part of me that can't even believe that there are songs that caught up with intense emotional complexity and lyrical dynamo of Change, okay, maybe not the illustrious Change, but definitely RX Queen, Korea and Knife Party. I wasn't sure if the Deftones had it in them. Events of such brilliance usually don't strike more than once for bands and artists alike. Then again, the individual brilliance of one can never really be understood. I'm proud to be two of the ears and some of the fingers in this world that can vouch for the astounding brilliance that is Diamond Eyes, and I'm excited to hear what's on their unreleased baby, Eros when it comes out, if it comes out. The tracks on Diamond Eyes in my opinion are some of the best songs in the Deftones catalogue, with Sextape being at the head of the affair.
Beauty School, atmospherically, is similar to almost half of the tracks on White Pony; yet it's so different at the very same time. Where aspects of White Pony seem slightly, you know what scratch this, I can't even really diss it. I can't. There are too many epic, and I mean EPIC elements on White Pony that could never ever really be achieved to the same quality on any other Deftones album (the mixing, the concepts, the artistic direction, the programming, the features, etc.). Diamond Eyes is the closest you're gonna get to a White Pony similarity and they're not even all that similar. All the songs on Diamond Eyes are still so different from White Pony. Beauty School and Sextape really dig deep into your mind and soul. They hit you like a ten tonne hammer from the first listen. The production of those songs are stellar. Beauty School is crisp and clear and clean yet filled with so much emotion you'll need mood stabilizers afterward. It almost has the emotional complexity of Saturday Night Wrists' Cherry Waves, but with much less yearning and being lead like a puppet on Chino's part and much more demanding, leading and dictating. It's really sexy, filled with subtle sexual imagery (depending on how you look at it). Sextape is soo lush, vibrant and romantic it's unbelievable. It's one of those tunes you put on when you're cruising around the city with your main squeeze and enjoying a nice summer night. The thing about this tune is; the lyrical content of this song reminds me of the effect that old school soul songs had on people back in the day. That feeling that you got back then when music was honest and pure yet really intense and deep and meaningful. The feeling that I get now when I listen to old school music from a time before my birth. The feeling that's best described by visualizing the look on my mom's face when she hears Marvin Gaye or Al Green or Depeche Mode's Stripped. Sextape has that feel, it's a song that gets me every single time. It's that vibe repackaged for my generation. It's soulful, and those who know Soul, know it's not about "Soooul". It's about SOUL. It's about heart. I've had this album for about a month and Sextape has to definitely be the most played song off this album for me. This song is just so amazingly written and Chino's vocals are ON POINT on this entire track. Abe Cunningham's drumming is insane, and the keyboards/samples provided by Frank Delgado just really put this song above all the other songs on this album. Also, the way that Sextape transfers so seamlessly into track 9, Risk, is also another highlight for me. I love little details. The songs go perfectly from one to the other and it's noticeable because of how soft Sextape is and how heavy Risk is. The transition is a perfect combination of soft and hard, it's audiable sex that's almost like real sex (tempo and pitch wise) which generally starts off soft (slow-tempo) then get's much harder (louder in parts/faster-tempo/aggressive).
If Diamond Eyes was really anything like real sex, Sextape would be the lead in, Risk would be the climatic point and 976-EVIL would be the comedown with it's smooth almost r&b flavoured groove and Chino's immaculate, pitch bending, high-soaring vocals. This Place is Death would be the recuperation period after the sex where you'd attempt to catch your breath from the intensity but couldn't. Beauty School would be the meet up, Prince would be the foreplay and Rocket Skates would be the "so this is happening NOW" realization moment, then Sextape would get the party started.
All in all this album is freaking dope. I'm SO buying it when it comes out on the 4th. The lyrical content of this album almost beats out their career highlight White Pony with it's intensity and imagery. The playing/melodies/guitar/bass/keyboards and ambiance/atmosphere are out of this world; there's mad throwbacks and you can hear hints of other albums on all the tracks. Where many other Deftones albums made mistakes in certain areas, this album picks up all that slack. Diamond Eyes is heavy hitting yet melodic, chaotic at points, structured at points and still retains the experimental nature brooding in the belly of the 'Tones since the release of Adrenaline. The same sort of experimental nature that was brought about by White Pony, solidified by their self-titled album and captured on 2006's Saturday Night Wrist in songs like Xerces, Cherry Waves, Beware and Hole in the Earth. Chino Moreno's vocals shine like sun, he's an allstar here, and it's nice to see him back in tip-top shape, utilizing vocal capabilities his imitators (oh, they're out there!) wish they could duplicate a fraction of. The arrangements and production of the whole album is slick, gritty where it needs to be and spotless in other parts. Even the design on the album cover is dope, from this alternate album cover to the original, pictured above, all the art work is beautiful. Surprisingly, even with the spirit-breaking injury of their bassist Chi Cheng, who's their bandmate, brother and contributor to the art and music that they've created for 22 years, they've still managed to pull it together and create another astoundingly astute album.
I hate to give albums ratings out of 5 because I don't think it's fair to do so, it's bullshit really, but if I had to, Diamond Eyes would get a 6. A bonus point for the phenomenal Sextape.
There's this awesome girl I work with who is a HUGE Deftones fan and still hasn't listened to the album yet because she said that she has a "ritual" that she partakes in when she's listening to the Deftones. Her ritual includes time set aside so she can listen to the entire album with the lights off thus she can really take in all the tracks and become one with the tunage. Weird as it seems, it's amazing because she isn't the first person who I've heard say that about listening to music by the Deftones. They need peace, solace and solitude I've heard. Supposedly, it's a pretty common activity. Hell, I've even done that myself once or twice; bumped my White Pony in bed, in the dark and chilled. It's an exhilarating experience. You can really feel the music taking over you, the excitement and the energy building in your body, in your chest, taking control of your very person from your ears to your mind. However, a word of warning to all you Deftones fans who partake in this ritual; Be Careful. Stay alert. This album is so good, it just might kill you.
You were warned.

The Leak is not as good. You are right Jesus. Listen to about 1:40 into YSTB and the electronic wind kind of sound is way more pronounced. For any Doubters listen to the last 10 seconds of Beauty School. The leak was FULL of hiss. The new one is pristine.

the leak will sound exactly as the cd, same bleeps,same quality and same amount of bass:
Quote from: Subliminal on Mar 21, 2010, 08:48 AM
It is the final version. The quality is 320kps. No leaks are ever that high in quality if they're this early!

i think that the original files and vbr have something to do with that...
say what ever you want, the scene sounds better cause is properly ripped.

I really like to see that this album is actually in proper jewel case and not stupid paper case as seems to be the custom nowadays.
Spot on, spot on. That review is DEEP.
"primal scream therapy". "Chino howling himself rawer than usual". Huh?

It's ooooold.
SNW has sold 255,000 total
what do you folks think DE will sell it's first week? and it's total 4 years from now?
i'm gonna say 32,000 first week. 200,000 in 4 years
sales are just bad now
Sales can still be good. Just need some aggressive marketing and a good single.
I figure this will sell 100,000 first week. #5 on the billboard 100
I think I found a phrase that sumarizes DE for me:
Diamond eyes; a record to fall in love again.
For all the torrent releases that came out today (they all have "YSB" in the track names), the tracks range from 255 to 262 kbps, all tracks differ. Is that still the final real ripped version even though it's not 320 like the leak was??
If so, is it even better quality than the leak we had?

this will out-sell SNW hands down. it's much better handled promotion wise and from what i've seen personally around my town, it seems to be catching the ear of a lot of people. i'm glad to see old friends who had pretty much written deftones off to really embrace this album.

I saw that Diamond Eyes leaked a while back. What can a band do to try and stop this happening?
Nothing. [laughs] Nothing. It's inevitable it's going to leak at any point. I mean, ours happened to leak two months early, which is a long time. It's pretty much understood it's going to leak a week to two weeks out. That's pretty much common. You can do nothing. It's just the way of the world we live in. You try your hardest to protect it. The main thing is man - shit, you can't lose sleep over it because it's going to happen - the main thing is we always wish is that our album [if it leaks, is] complete. The one that's out there now wasn't even complete. It was mixed, but it wasn't mastered. That's the most frustrating part. But - what do you do? It's been out for over a month now. You just roll with it. The leak is not sonically how [the finished product] sounds, and it's very frustrating when something that's not done gets out.

You've Seen The Butcher does sound different from the leak. In a good way.
Oh, what the hell? Mine isnt even here yet...that sucks. Ah, could be worse.

gonna pick it up after work. if it's in yet, that is.
listening to the album now for the first time in several weeks. it does sound fresh and exciting again, as I had hoped :)
I would certainly expect Walmart would have the new album but I'm kind of concerned it might not. Can anyone confirm it being sold at Walmart?
And if it does it better not be the damn edited version.
edited version?
According to someone else here there's a clean version.
http://www.avclub.com/articles/deftones-diamond-eyes,40731/ (http://www.avclub.com/articles/deftones-diamond-eyes,40731/)
There is an edited version on itunes. Wal-Mart ONLY carries edited versions. Never mind that you can buy all the profanity and nudity you want 2 aisles over in the movie section...

Nah its a anytime sanwish. It was alright i felt like a fuckin carnivore eatin that shit though haha
Oh, god.
I listened to the record on my way home from buying it at the mall. When I pulled into my apartment's parking lot and finally got to look through the CD booklet, "Sextape" was playing in the background as I read the band's message to Chi on the last page.
I almost cried.
The album is amazing. I'm so glad that they decided to continue making music.
One Love For Chi.

This album is ace.
Just picked up an extra copy. It sounds ten thousand times better now :)
i was listening to risk the other day.. man such a great beautiful song...chuggy adrenaline riffs with sad chino vocals as it best.... i got tears in my eyes and i was so focus on listening that snot began running from my nose to my mouth.. and in the last chorus i began to laugh uncontrollably because it got me so high

>:(WTF!!!??? why didnt i get mine today?? this is effing gay, I wait a month and a half after I preorder than I find out if I would have waited I could have gotten an autographed version, or If I did Itunes I could get 3 extra tracks. not only do I get the shaft that way but I also dont get it at all!! is there any way to figure out how long till I get it? anyone else have this problem?
Just read this one I hope this is not a repost.
USA Today : 3 1/2 Stars out of 4
ROCK FROM A HARD PLACE
"After a car crash in 2008 sidelined bassist Chi Cheng with a brain injury, his Sacramento bandmates shelved finished album Eros and enlisted fill-in Sergio Vega to embark on an uplifting, polychromatic homage to their fallen Brother. On this sixth and Best Effort, Deftones deftly flows from visceral alt-metal brutality to serene melodic beauty, displaying a raw intensity that's purely cathartic and a wounded sensitivity that's never mawkish"
>>>Download: Beauty School, You've Seen the Butcher, Sextape
Lot's of words that I am sure some of us don't understand. But it sounds pretty damn good to me.

Yeah no kidding. Man that irks the shit out of me if I get one with shit clearly blocked out. That makes no sense. Movies have FAR more swearing and shit than most music but they can't have an unedited music album? It's NO DAMN DIFFERENT whether it's in movies or music.
bought my copy about 2 hours ago. hell yea
Bought two copies to support. Word.
Yeah baby! I got mine from Walmart and it's the Explicit version. It has a different label for it here though. I guess the music in Walmart coming in only edited versions is probably a U.S. thing because I've never had problems getting cds with Explicit Lyrics in Walmarts in Canada.

it's really cool they've played every song from the album live, & they all sound good live
i wish they'd release the record release show as a dvd, that would be cool
It's sort of sad this place was crazy busy when the leak happened. But now that the album is actually out there isn't like this crazy reaction going on here. lol. I'm glad I waited to listed but still sucks to not have pages of people posting their reactions on the actual release day. Just an IMO post.

yeah maybe he was confused by it, i dont know the reason for him talking jibberish, but what he was sure about turned out to be wrong.
strangely enough i'm just now having my first headphone listen straight from the cd to my ears. it sounds so fucking huge and awesome.
EDIT: also what's with all the (album version) things in the titles. mostly what's up with the (amended album version) of rocket skates? is it slightly different from the one on the single or somehting?

I won't be surprised if they give it a 2.5 / 3 star review - and I honestly wouldn't give it too much importance as rolling stone has the worst music reviews a lot of the times. And if they give it a good review - good for the Deftones - a little mainstream attention can't hurt at all!

ish w/ iron man on th' cover? i dont think they reviewed it before not that it really matters always interesting to see how mainstream media writes shit up imo
That's right Wax, Iron Man on the cover.
I am with you on the reviews, I find it pretty interesting to see what the mainstream thinks of the record.
Anybody seen (or has it been posted?) the latest issue of of Metal Hammer, with review of DE and feature?

'dreadlock metal' is this 2010 or the late 90s shit review, yes im betting the review in the mag is with other bands they dont consider really famous and big hence the length and what was said was about what i expected from rs......
Cant really read a review by a magizine that said Led Zepplin was shit
Holy fuck! How can Rolling Stone always give them a shit review. ??? I knew they'd do this again. They gave WP a 3 also if I remember right. And that went on to win a Motherfuckin Grammy! ;D

Alright. I had no success on the "ATTN collectors...etc." thread, so I'll copy my post and paste it here. Come on everybody, I need your help! ;)
"I must confess it: I haven't got my copy yet. My music shop always takes a lifetime to get new cds but, somehow, they always have the best prices in town, so I don't complain too much. Since I got the censored version of SNW from there, and I'd like a normal copy of DE, how do I recognise it? And listening to it, whichn parts would be censored, besides "fuck with me" in Rocket Skates? "
the single "diamond eyes" is #19 on the billboard top 20 alt rock songs
They played Diamond Eyes on my local "rock" station today...Only other Tones song ive heard in my 31 yrs on my radio was "Change" i called an told em it was the best song theyve played since the last Deftones song haa

HA! So true! Fuck Rolling stone!
I wanted to listen to the album a few times before I responded to it. I spent all of Wednesday just listening to it non-stop, and I realized that there is a running theme with the melodies. Each track sounds different, but the melodies are very similar to each other which I like. It feels as if it ties the whole album together. I also like the hard/soft contrast just throughout the album or through one song. Currently my favorite songs off the album are "Rocket Skates", "Beauty School" and "You've Seen the Butcher".
And like many Deftones albums, you definitely can sense sexuality in this album. This might be a bold statement, but this album might be sexier than White Pony! :o
i say the band should start writing new stuff after they're done touring Diamond eyes. Even though Eros is done, it doesnt mean they should stop now

I was thinking they should release Eros after this tour is over, that would hold the fans over for awhile. And then go take and their time and craft an amazing record. I love Diamond Eyes but some song feel like they could have been worked on a little more.

yeah i agree with u, the songs could have been worked on a little more but i noticed though some songs sounds complete as opposed to others..like rocket skates had a breakdown unlike 976-Evil, this place is death..but I like how Steph is makin his presence on this record
That is a lame ass review. That's probably worse than the Spin Magazine review.lol

I have merged the Diamond Eyes thread with the Diamond Eyes reviews thread.
Metro review! ;)
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2n05xsh.jpg)
Melodic, yet hard as fuck
A new album of Californian metal band Deftones is always a surprise. After two more experimental efforts, Deftones return back to the glory days of their insane debut 'Adrenaline', combined with the more accessible 'White Pony'.
In that way, 'Royal' wouldn't be misplaced on 'Adrenaline', while vocalist Chino Moreno shows his most melodic side on the fantastic opener 'Diamond Eyes', without ever making the impression that Deftones became soft.
Because don't be wrong, the gentlemen combine melodic and hard a fuck like no other.
Prince has really been growing on me lately. Awesome song.
The more I listen to this album the more I find I don't like it. Love Royal, best thing they've done since WP.
Unlike other Deftones albums which grew on me. This one just feels basic.
I actually keep just liking it more and more. I took a few day break from it then stuck it in yesterday and found myself enjoying it way more then the first time i listened to it, (Which is crazy cos I loved it right off the bat) :)

You know, I have to agree with that. Although I still like White Pony better in it's own right, I also feel that Diamond Eyes is much more sexually loaded. WP is much more "vicious"... If you know what I mean.
Like every deftones album, this wasn't at all what I was expecting. But I do love the new songs. Already bought my tickets to see them in Brussels. Can't wait... This will be my third time I see em live...
I know is a dumb thing to be disappointed about but Im really bummed that there's no album art in the cd booklet. The black pages with lyrics just seems like they threw it together last minute or something. I thought S/T and SNW both had amazing album art and I was expecting DE to have something great as well. I love the cover, but the guts needed something more..... thoughts?
I agree, it's pretty disappointing. I love the SNW art, it really ties the album together. As for ST, I dunno. ...I actually never owned my own physical copy. >_>
Also, I have a theory that they originally planned to have some pictures and such in there, but it ended up looking silly so they just said screw it. (remember the leaked pic of chino next to the owl?)
Just speculatin. :P

Thats a really good point, I bet your right. All they had to do was throw together some live pics or pics of them in the studio and I would of been happy. Im not trying to bitch tho, the album is great! Im happy for them!

I actually kind of agree with you - I haven't been able to get into this album as much as I thought I would based on everyone's reactions to the music - I really liked it the third time around - but I don't find myself running back it over and over again - and as much as I had my issues with some of the tracks on SNW - I really love that album because apart from a couple of tracks the rest of the album is solid. This album - I feel like I'm not getting it - and maybe it'll take a few months to soak in - as the self titled album did with me. At first I liked the ST album - but it took me months to really understand it and love it - I guess it also comes down to looking back at the time when you were discovering it - because that always adds to the feel of the album. I'm hoping Diamond Eyes will grow on me more - I'm feeling a little empty after waiting this long :(

I know what you mean about S/T. It wasn't until a year later when I finally understood it.
Diamond Eyes has hit a nerve straight away with me. Just love it, including the artwork - really don't know why so I'm not looking into it too much haha
my theory is the booklet is black inside with no artwork because they had to rush it, cause they released it 2 weeks early due to the leak
Its definatly a grower, but then again all deftones albums took time to grow on me, I love the flow of the album, each track is in perfect order, unlike on the previous two albums. I feel that SNW was quite all over the place in terms of order. All in all I love this album, I'm so glad they have come back so strong and are taking it serious again, and this translates into the live shows, I just hope they can keep it up.
^ the best thing about this album is how it has impacted their live performance, the new tracks sound great live and knit in very subtly with the usual live tracks. Not to mention Chino lost a lot of weight for this record and now his vocals, personality and energy are returning. It's a very positive album, surprisingly so.
Personally I loved the album straight away, but I figured it was because it was just new, and I was so damn excited to hear new songs frm them. But the more I listened to it the more I loved it. Even now, there are some songs I prefer more than others, then a few days later it'll change. Almost all the songs frm Around The Fur, and some frm ST, took months to grow on me, but now I love them too, so, I guess it depends on what you most prefer regarding their music, and what you expected frm this album.
still excellent
I love that the new album is less experimential.
the single "diamond eyes" is #18 again this week on the billboard alternative rock chart
it's #23 on the billboard rock songs chart (moved up from #27)
the album is #33

Hey man, that's a great review. Very honest and obviously coming from a true Deftones fan and expert. I agree with a lot of what you said. There are some parts of the album that come off as soft/complacent. And the Meshuggah stuff is getting old. I miss the lush tones Steph had on ATF/WP. One thing I disagree with is your contempt for the softer songs. I think "Beauty School" is one of the band's best songs ever. Definitely a step above Cherry Waves, but that's just my opinion. Sometimes "Sex Tape" can be a bit repetitive, in your favor. At first I didn't like "Risk" but it's growing on me. I'm glad you highlighted that track. I'm also a huge fan of TPID and Prince - two of the band's best songs in my opinion. And I love the verse of 976 and Royal. But I can't get into the chorus of "Royal"...what's the allure? But yes, you're right, the end is freakin' relentless - epic Deftones!! Anyways, thanks for sharing your review - one of the more thoughtful ones I've come across.
thanks. Yeah I guess that's what makes this band one of the greatest - you see sides to their music which you absolutely love but I haven't understood...yet. And of course vice versa. So hopefully I'll begin to appreciate the parts of Diamond Eyes that you love and that I haven't quite understood yet. And I hope those Royal Verses blow you away soon too :)
billboard news, the single "diamond eyes" is #17 on the alternative songs chart, & #19 on the rock songs chart
the album is #39
^ good reivew mate
Bored of the album already to be honest, i hate to admit it myself but from the second i heard it i thought it was just abit thin, drums are rather boring and the guitar is too muddy to get me going. The song structures are severely predictable, i never compare anything to WP but thats where it excels, each song had an unpredictable form...:(

I feel the exact same way! Its a great record, but I really miss that lush guitar sound. And Beauty School is perfect.
SNW was the only cd I listened a few times and then I couldnt play it again. Of course some songs are good but I didnt fell in love with it like I did when I first heard DE!
DE continues to grow on me!
german streetteam has a vote up for the next single
http://www.streetteam.de/de/home.cfm?p=2041 (http://www.streetteam.de/de/home.cfm?p=2041)
you need to be a member to vote.
songs to vote for are:
beauty school
royal
sextape
My vote would definitely be for Royal. But for singles, radio promos, advertising purposes, etc. I would vote for Beauty School. Seems like common sense to choose those to me at least.
So the night before last i was high as hell driving through the middle of no where stopped in the middle of the road turned the head lights off and let sextape play to nobody but me. probably the only sound 30 miles in any direction. I have never felt so alone and so full at the same time, ever. amazing hard to put into words but that was a fuckin life experiance.
being high as hell is awesome. me and my brother were rolling u know we were sorted ie doing mdma haha the night i bought diamond eyes and we heard sextape and i was blown away man my brain was going haywire like i was cheesing hard and the song was the most beautiful thing i ever heard. but not cuz i was on drugs but because of the imagery. when i was cheesing in my madness i thot, is chino killing bitches again? lol i love killer chino!

Try that with a song like Digital Bath, Pink Maggit or Fist. You're gonna die.
lol i always wanted to roll real hard on digital bath but its like never in the cards. But team sleep is perfect for it man.

It's a good album, as always I was hoping for WP II but you know, that's never going to happen. It's boosted the band and the live peformances, well they haven't been this consitent in a looooonnnnggg time. This place is death probably has the most depth, i can't stand CMND/CNTRL though.

I agree, I think its an awesome album
definately their best album since S/T.
CMND/CTRL, Beauty School, and This Place is Death are the songs I skip.
I thought I would get tired of Rocket Skates first but nope still one of my favorite tracks.
I really cant wait to hear Eros. I hope they release it while they write for the next album.
I am loving Diamond Eyes - the Deftones are the only band I can think of that being so many albums into their career are writing the best stuff they ever have. I must admit, I thought the good times were coming to an end with the self titled record - I'm sure theres many that love it, but I think its the weakest of their catalogue. It was for that reason I took a while to give Saturday Night Wrist a chance, but now years on, its still featured in my listening schedule today. Diamond Eyes has continued the form stunningly. I've become so conditioned to expecting a band to dip as the career progresses, that with the Deftones, the love for them has beenenjoyed with even more vigour.
i was thinking yesterday and noticed how diamond eyes is more of a group effort, but mainly chino and stephen pooling their ideas together and each of them got to put their songs on the album which is y the album is so good as opposed to the self-titled which was all mainly step and then snw, which was chino. guess they should collaborate more on each others' song parts rather than fighting over whose parts to work on.
Still listening to DE every day myself. I think I'd personally rate this album 2nd out of everything they've done, right after AtF (which I actually wore out for myself back when it came out).
Atf - DE - Adrenaline - S/T - SNW - WP
Am I the only one that thinks WP is the weakest album? Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a really good album with some great songs. It just happens to be the one I have the least desire to listen to these days. I really am just happy that the band is still around and making such awesome music though :D
I used to think that, but there are so many good songs on the albumt hat you dont really notice at first and I'm not talking about the obvious ( Digital bath, Change..) korea has a fucking intense breakdown. Passenger is just amazing in the creepiest ways... its a good album.
SNW is the weakest in my opinion.
Diamond Eyes took me a while to get into, but songs like CMND/CTRL, Prince, Risk, 976 evil just kick ass :)
SNW might be my favorite. I don't get why people think it's their weakest.
Hole In The Earth, Rapture, Beware, Cherry Waves, Mein, Xerces, Rats! Rats! Rats!, Combat, Kimdracula, and Riviere all kick major ass.
Am I the only one who thinks this? Even UUDDLRLRABselect,start, is bad ass when in the right mood.
And I love Diamond Eyes as well. Front to back.
I guess it all depnds on why you listen to Deftones. Honestl I can't give an exact reason why im obssessed with them, but I know its along the lines of the cryptic lyrics contrasted with the heavy riffs, I can relate to it. The cryptic lyrics being multiple meanings which can cause confusion and the heavy riffs is just the pace of life.

digital bath,change, hite etcetera are ok songs i guess...
but it's when the heavy riffs combined with chinos vulnerable singing takes place the magic occurs
Diamond Eyes is just my favourite at the moment, followed by SNW.
DE has just hit a nerve.

Always thought it has some brilliant and well written songs on it, but it just doesn't flow enough for me, as an album. That's my only problem with it.... otherwise it's ace.
Since getting DE i still skip through all but 2 or 3 songs, only one work to describe it; lackluster. (IMO)
I've always found something similar in 976-EVIL and Riviere, even though Riviere is way better to me. Here's what 976-EVIL sounds like when you attach the end of Riviere to it. Of course I'm not a pro but it fits surprisingly well, I think:
http://www.goear.com/listen/96557ac/976-riviere-deftones-remixed-by-vesanic (http://www.goear.com/listen/96557ac/976-riviere-deftones-remixed-by-vesanic)
I like that! It does fit in nicely....
But honestly I cannot see how Riviere although I love the track can hold a candle to 976-EVIL.
First time I have disagreed with you V. The raw power and emotion of 976-EVIL gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
976-EVIL sure is a great track and has its own thing, but, I just can't explain it. Riviere has always been one of my favorite deftones tracks, it's not even comparable, to me. But as always, I respect your opinion.
Still like the mix anyway.
Ahhhh if all disagreements could be handled with the class and civility that we have V... 8)
Actually this board would be a boring place if that was the case I guess.

riviere completely destroys 976 evil
Pretty much, yup.
yeah i hated riviere at first but that song grew on me. it's brilliant. 976-evil is a great song but it doesn't really touch riviere. it lacks a certain something special. it doesn't really grab me or evoke too much of an emotional responce.
I love the whole album but I still can't get myself to like Beauty School. The rest of the album is a masterpiece. : ) ST will always be my favorite though. Nothing will change that.

That's exactly where I stand. I find myself favoring ST on the Ipod shuffle when I'm surfing. Def the raddest album from Deftones. Possibly my favorite album musically just under Beastie Boy's Ill Communications which is my fav since 6th grade when it dropped. Anyways I can't get into Beauty School myself thus far...
I've noticed that Shinedown have released a new single called Diamond Eyes - rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrripppp offffffffff"!

What the fuck is shinedown? Either way its gonna promote deftones one way or another... Plus diamond eyes is a pretty common way to describe someone beautiful :)

They are in my opinion a shit rock/metalish band from jacksonville, their song was released this year shortly after deftones released DE, they released it for the expendables film.
I know its a phrase, but seriously, it's hardly common, still i will be winding up their fans about it on youtube for entertainment value.
i'd never heard the term diamond eyes before deftones. crystal eyes by LA guns is the closest term i'd heard(also an excellent tune)
Wierd, older people use it more than kids.

(rishloo is actually an amazing band so i don't mind that they've used it)
if anyone knows of any others let's see how many we can find.
Chino has in interviews said that they didn't know whether or not they would continue as a band after Chi's accident. That it was mostly some sorta coincidence that it happened. That deftones were in a room with Sergio and "Everybody gravitated towards their instruments and started playing." Things took off,and then all of the sudden, just 6 months after diamond eyes were there kind of. But when I read this from april 2010: (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE63N19H20100424 (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE63N19H20100424))
"6. HAS THE BAND CONSIDERED RELEASING FUTURE ALBUMS WITHOUT A LABEL?
Chino:Obviously, that would be something great for us -- for a lot of different reasons. But at this time we're still under contract. We don't make records too often. So it's going to take us a long time to fulfill our contract with them over the last 15 years or whatever since we started putting out records. We still have a couple more records to go that are due. When that's up, obviously we'd love to have more control over our releases"
makes me wonder... the fact that they are under contract ... it seems more like they HAD to do diamond eyes, that it was a contract with Warner.To me it seems that when Sergio flew in from N.Y to L.A, the decision that he would play and record the next album was already made.It was never really an option to quit.And if not Sergio, then somebody else.Perhaps Warner even paid his ticket to L.a and said "alright get busy". Pointed their greasy fingers at a contract.
but of course I haven't read the contract, maybe it won't be a breach of contract íf someone gets sick or dies etc

well they could have quit and released compilations or something. a b-sides 2, a greatest hits, hell even eros could have turned up, and perhaps that would finish out their contract. the way they've been acting towards diamond eyes and how excited they seem about it says to me that they did it more for themselves than for contractual purposes. it would be great if they could release things on their own though. it seems their label is always holding them up (SNW for example).
When the enevitble happens and they do eventually break up or whatever you wanna call it, hope to fucking god that they DO NOT make a greatest hits. Every album is unbelievabley awesome in its own way/theme. Mst greatest hits compalations are primeraly the singles but a lot of the tones best songs wernt made into singles.

yeah,it depends on how many records they have left to do. If it's like 5, they have to do more albums with more material to release. I mean they just can't release like linus and shit on warner.I'm glad deftones didn't end their carrer with the questionable snw, released a greatest hits (so not them) and then release more out of fashion songs on disc.what a sad ending to an otherwise awesome career. I hope that when that day comes, they want to end it with flying colors.
deftones have every reason to be excited over diamond eyes because it turned out to be great album.But I was talking about the time even before it was written, when there was no diamond eyes to be excited about.there just is something strange about when chino comment on the situation back then,almost like they kind of talked about the situation over a beer or something... and then just "gravitated towards their instruments" and jammed a little,you know... "like friends do".
I just don't think sergio flew across the country to hang out and jam a bit and then flew back home. "hey we should do this again sometime" Like I said, It seems the decision was already made. But Maybe it was deftones own decision to continue, who knows. I just don't think it was all coincidence. ok enough of this twaddle

well they had already flown him in for rehearsals for a tour if memory serves. they were booked to some festivals and couldn't really back out so they brought him in as a touring member and ended up writing some tunes with him. i think that's how it went down anyway. not 100% though.
haha that was not a memory,was it? that was made up story that suited your point, no? :)

so when chino said that they thought about quitting as a band after the accident, they still would go out on a european tour?

hmmm maybe you have a point. i'm speaking purely from memory (and mines not so great due to many years of marijuana use) so i could be wrong. it'd be pretty damn weak if they kept on as a band for purely contractual reasons.
yeah i guess so >:( but I still prefer a deftones active by those weak reasons than no deftones at all

true. it still just seems so horribly out of character. but i guess money will do strange things to a man.
yes at the end of the day it all boils down to money.a lot revolves around it anyway.No,nothing strange about it really, everyone knows about it, but what bothers me is that they don't stand for it. I often feel like they feed us with a lot of bullshit in interviews. We are looking for facts but all we get is whitewashing of the truth, smoke screens and cover ups to hide an ugly truth.just think of everything around the chi thing *tinfoil hat deluxe*well fuck that shit, a true fan will show unconditional love no matter what.over time i think things will pop up. maybe in the chino bioraphy. "i used to make money on lies, now i want to sell books and make money on the truth" :p

Great point, right on i think.
About two weeks ago after listening to this album i fell in love with Deftones music. It did't happen several years ago after i listened to "White Pony" and "Deftones". Think, i just did'n get it then, and now i'm getting it fully.
During this two weeks i listened to all the albums of the guys, still "Diamond eyes" is my favorite.
I'm just kind of drown in it. It's not so vicious, as "White Pony", it's much softer and more melodic, then the other Deftones' records. 'Sextape', one of my favorites, sounds like post-punk. "Heavy post-punk" - does this exist?)
And off course "Beauty Queen", "Prince" and "976-Evil" with their perfect choruses.. Now i realy regret, that i didn't go to their gig in Moscow last summer. Wish i had been charmed by them earlier)
And, by the way, i still don't understand 80% of the lyrics from this album.
I think I prefer SNW over this album, they are pretty close, don't really listen to both albums. Only when they were first released. The only good songs on both albums I find are the slower songs.
Screw Diamond Eyes.
Really? You dislike it that much? There are a couple of weak, overly commercial songs (I'm looking at you, Beauty School and Sextape) but the other songs are all good to great. Royal, Prince, CMND/CTRL, YSTB, Risk, 976, TPID I all love.
YSTB and Royal are the only ones I find worth listening to. I've prob listened to this album hundreds of times and I find I dislike it the more I listen. I loved it at first, then slowly it just did nothing for me. I can still listen to the first 4 albums all the way through, almost daily.
Royal and Prince are the only ones I listen every now and then. But yet I don't enjoy them the way I would enjoy any other Deftones song. Just like Corleone said, loved it at first, now it does nothing to me.

Myself too, listen to really only 2 songs now. Royal and TPID which is one of many I am most fond of, from their studio records. That song is underrated and unappreciated IMO. Frank kills it, matter of fact, the beginning of it sounds like a perfect live show intro and is the perfect example of the theme of DE. The lyrics are familiar in essence of Chino's classic vulnerability, but say so much in very little words to me. Love it. PS: This album could come back to me or any one of us later on as their records are famous for doing so. ?????????

I really didn't like you, but this statement may be your saving grace.
It may be because I am late to the game and just found the Deftones, or it may be because the maturer side of the Deftones appeals my oldness, but so far Diamond Eyes has been my favorite. My disclaimer however, is that I am still getting to know all of the discography at this point.

This is very true, and I also like TPID alot too.
I think why I'm negative to this album is because I was looking forward to more experimental Deftones (Eros)... if only they would just release that shit. You know it's going to good because they don't even want to release it without chi. Produced by Terry Date, a true Deftones album.

now that i've had time to really take the album in, here's a cliche list!
Around The Fur
Self Titled
Saturday Night Wrist
White Pony
Diamond Eyes
Adrenaline
this changes all the time though and i love each one in their own way...

You are so lucky. I am envious of you rather than looking down to you in the case of you just getting the discography because I savored the feeling I felt each time a record was released like a fucking drug, and you are like....mainlining? soak it up girl. Gorddamn!!!!

This is very true, and I also like TPID alot too.
I think why I'm negative to this album is because I was looking forward to more experimental Deftones (Eros)... if only they would just release that shit. You know it's going to good because they don't even want to release it without chi. Produced by Terry Date, a true Deftones album.
The thought of the whole gorddamn Eros story (still editing, lol) gives me anxiety. I have issues in my own personal life like everybody else and this actually bugs me as bad as my own worst case. lol Makes me have some negative feelings inside for Deftones. Do it for Chi assholes!

You are so lucky. I am envious of you rather than looking down to you in the case of you just getting the discography because I savored the feeling I felt each time a record was released like a fucking drug, and you are like....mainlining? soak it up girl. Gorddamn!!!!
Love the analogy. The only problem I am having is that I started with DE, and planned to move on, but I can't!!!! Every week I find a new appreciation for one of the songs that wasn't really capturing my attention the week before. So, just when I think I've had enough and I've got the feel for the album and want to move on, I get sucked back in. It's hard to put into words what the hell I am trying to say, but hopefully it comes across at least a little bit.
Diamond Eyes straight up Owns Honestly...

it is without a shadow of a doubt their absolute worst

Well, don't play it out. Their records are best fit to revisit. Move on from Adrenaline and on. Linus is cool in all IMO to hear them young and undeveloped but IMO again, is not a great collection of music compared to the others. Just some good advice I think everybody here could agree with.
It goes ST, WP, ATF, DE, Adren, SNL for me. I don't really Claim B-sides in this particular group. It's more of a compilation for me. Love it though. Diamond Eyes is the shiiiit but they all are and am happy they are all good enough to be changed in my ratings periodically. The only one that doesn't move is ST. PERFECTION is the name of that record in this household.

Im shocked u DE before ST. DE is a lot more sophisticated and fresh in terms of song structures and definitely captures ambience, a good mix of old school and new school deftones. Not to mention how the production quality on DE exceeds ST. This brings me to a conclusion: Terry date should not produce the next deftones album! the band is progressing with different producers.
oh and its SNW not SNL :)

Wow, no need for a human spellcheck. I have big hands and I tend to spell things wrong only because of my fingers. No biggie. Crazy how ppl tend to look so deep into what others do on here as far as "mistakes"go. lol Well ST is my favorite record and that's that. The technical shit doesn't always or sometimes ever influence my opinion on how I feel about a record. And it's the lyrics on ST and the theme I get from it myself. The times and the way I was living at the time too (not a new fan by far) play a big part in that too. I like the darker records and this is unarguably the darkest of them.

I totally disagree. S/T is way more complex and creates bigger moods, its soul is immense, and Diamond Eyes, to me, doesn't have any trace of a soul. The whole record is way more " sophisticated " than Diamond Eyes. But yeah, it's probably just my opinion...

Sorry but no. And this is not an opinion, it is a fact, Diamond Eyes production is way too polished and clean, whereas Deftones' sound needs rawness but still with an impeccable quality, which is what Terry Date brought on Around the Fur, White Pony and the self-titled.

Rarely disagree with you Vesanic but I have to take issue with the Diamond Eyes does not have a trace of soul comment. I think you can really feel the pain of Chi's accident and the effect it has had on this record. Granted S/T is definitely sways and crushes with the mood swings and the "epic" feel of the record. But to say DE has no soul?
Listen to 976-Evil (the song not the member), no passion or soul? Just sayin dude.......

Well, it might have a soul, but to me (I insist, TO ME), it's just too clean, too... too " lovely ", you know ? Too polished. S/T soul is just like 48481818times bigger, deeper and more beautiful than DE soul. To me, once again.
there's not an inch of tension in 976-evil. it's just boring, just like a lot of other DE songs (title track, risk, beauty school), ....
never thought i'd say this, but chino's voice is too present. it's too loud. he shouts (not screaming, but shouting) too much. calm down chino. i loved you when you whispered. when you softly spoke words one minute and just like that let out a brutal scream like a mfka. you know, dynamics. uuugh
Gonna have to agree with Penicks and Vesanic. That said, I still enjoy DE from time to time. I just want ATF Chino back. Give me another MX please.

I love this. Love it! It reminded me that CMND/CNTRL is almost thee worst song I've heard him write! And sing. Hate it. Probably gave it a go 5x's (all I needed to hear) and my favorites like TPID 50x's. Silly-ass song. Goes with his uniform-like wardrobe. (never gave a shit about another man's clothing style) But I noticed he wears those metro-ass plaid pink shirts consecutively every few shows! That song and his new clothing style are very commercial to me. Hard to explain if u don't understand or think it's a lame observation. I like the Chino that didn't give a fuck. He's still dope though.

I love that it's clean, crisp, and heavy. I don't want them to copy the self-titled album. They've been there and done that. And under the circumstances, I think they came though in a big way. Needless to say, I love the album and am glad to have another unique Deftones album.
The record could have been less clean and pristine without necessarily sounding like the S/T, you know ? For example, Around the Fur and the S/T have that vibe I miss in Diamond Eyes but still are different records.
Diamond Eyes is a totally different record now when I'm listening to it, compared with the first few months it came out.
I finally got it.
Still the best record they put out since White Pony.

^ I agree. I finally listened to SNW after not listening to for like a year and I can hear the evolution of SNW -> DE. The space, prog kind of sound from SNW is perfected on DE. Although, I think DE is too clean. I like that dirtiness.

i also feel that experimental vibe isn't so prevalent on DE, which is odd being a very different album than anything they've done before. i miss the weirdness of it which is why the lead up to eros was so exciting at the time. still though, i consider DE a solid album.

Any Deftones album > Diamond Eyes.
And I know someone's going to quote my comment and reverse that equation.
diamond eyes is a little bit hard to say just good or bad about i think, when the peaks like royal, prince, risk, ystb are very high, but the low marks such as sextape, beauty school and rocket skates are very low and kinda sucks. I like the album overall but it lacks the darkness and anxiety which is a pitty. d.e is somewhere in the middle for me if I would rank them
The only song on the album I could do without is the title track. I almost always skip it and begin with royal.

Haha St and de are ok snw hmmm not so sure, none of them have the depth of white pony, St sometimes seems like it is a contender but that's just because it's so dark. De is better than snw and St because it's more of a finished product, it's more cohesive and it's put deftones back on track commercially, which has really spurred the band on, they seem happier in the interviews about the music.
those three posts have just taken the cake of funniest exchange on SL ever.
Bought it today on cd. Kinda disappointed about the booklet. White text on black, jippie! Must have taken a coffee break to design it. Is the vinyl the same?
Since Diamond eyes came out I don't see the deftones the same way. I know it's because Chi's accident and I try not to let that put me off but it still does :\ I still love a lot of the songs on the album, just not as many of them as on the other 5 albums. Whenever I'm listening to my music player I normally skip a lot of the songs off that album. I think the whole thing just sounds a little mechanical IMO like the verse riff in rocket skates and diamond eyes, not to mention CMND/CTRL (still love it though). I know that could be down to Stef being a fan of Meshuggah and buying an 8 string because of them or whatever but Sergio isnt doing enough to compliment the music and take the sound to another level the way Chi could. The best part of Diamond Eyes for the most part are Franks parts. Like the firework noises and the part in the pre chorus in you've seen the butcher. Would much rather them have released Eros even if they wouldn't be able to tour it because of Chi's condition. I Just don't think anything they release without Chi will ever beat the shit they did with him.
Diamond Eyes is a great fucking album! Solid as fuck all the way through! the more i listen the deeper i fall in love with it!
You fuckers should be happy this band is still making music on a high level like this instead of bitching about it and comparing it to the past! it's 2011!! move on!! the past belongs in the past!

what's funny is that you've created threads for tracks like digital bath which is 11 years old and for gift, which is about 20 years old ,where you express your love for them. how do you think that fits with "don't live in the past move on" do you think? of course we can listen to those records,like em and compare em.and you who like concerts, you would like that they just played just diamond eyes songs at shows i guess? what a fool. you're probably just mad cause you just got into em, never can experience those old magic times when those happend, and therefore wants a new countdown from 2010 or something.

First of all I didn't say forget the classics and only listen to the new shit....did I? No, I most certainly did fucking not! I love the old shit! What I was saying is, don't expect the new shit to sound like the old shit! Bands mature and grow up and seek new sounds and new things...and that's how it should be.....and if they are able to do that and still maintain "their sound" then that's great! And I don't give a flying fuck if you have been a fan since day one....that don't mean shit.....Love of a band is not measured by the length of time you have listened to them!! You think just because I only started to listen to them last year that that makes you a better fan than me or it gives you a sense of entitlement?! If so...you can kiss my ass!....not one person on this whole fucking board can question my devotion to music or my deep appreciation for this band.
I'm not sure if you are the type that needs everything spelled out for you or you just like starting shit when you see me post.
most of this page is tl;dr for me but I actually agree with what Vesanic said about DE missing that 'dirt', I love diamond eyes but the whole time i thought it just sounded to clean and pristine.
I'd like to hear something more raw and natural on the next record.
Quote from: Vesanic
What do you think about Diamond Eyes one year after its release ? Were you impressed the first time you listened to it and now this feeling is gone ? Did you hate it at first but love it now ? Do you actually think it's Deftones best release, and if so, why ? And if you think it's the worst thing they've ever put out, why ?
I was impressed the first time i heard it and I still am, nothing has changed. with the disgusting aftertaste of snw, I didn't know where I had deftones... but I was pleasantly surprised that they could scrape together material so good in such a short time after eros. some songs are awesome others not at all, but I agree that there's too little dirt overall. i think the best songs on de kills the best songs on white pony for example (not a big wp fan, its alright), but white pony as a journey and as a whole is much better. d.e is just a collection of well-produced songs, no fly trip

The vinyl is the same, the inner sleeve has same lyric font on one side with the credits and a B&W pic of the owl on the other. S/T & SNW have the best vinyl sleeves IMO.
White Pony is still my favorite, but I'm a big fan of Diamond Eyes. It's a pretty solid album. Just saw them live not too long ago, so I was able to enjoy the songs on a different level than just listening on my ipod.
I loved Diamond Eyes when it first came out and still do now after repeated listens. It does sound "more finished" and "pristine" as a couple others have mentioned but for me that does not stand out as a glaring negative in terms of how I see the album. The record had a bunch of good songs like Royal, Butcher, Prince, ect.. and the music itself got stuck in my head for days at a time (976-evil especially). Part of the reason I may have liked it so much is SNW did little for me. SNW was good but nothing off there, aside from a few tracks, really stood out as that memorable to me. I'm pumped to see what the 'tones put out next
Well put P.........
GREAT VIDEO ABOVE! Thanks dude, I had not seen that before.
Diamond Eyes is a great album in my opinion and way better then SNW. I like most of the songs but i cant stand Sextape or 976 Evil. Strangely i like Beauty School more then those.
Its a solid album overall, some mix of old and new deftones.
Saturday Night Wrist is totally very original album i think.
A dark period for the band but result is very creative and original... Almost 2 years past, so we can comment more healthy... Diamond Eyes based on a more simple template imo... as the band says before it's a product of just 6 months.
The guitar sound on CMND/CTRL is horrible to me, saturated and stuff. The riff is killer but the production... Gosh. They need Terry back, for real.

Having Terry back is actually the thing I hope most for with a new deftones record. It's been way too long and he really mastered Stefan and Abe's sound. If they work with Nick again I'll be extremely disappointed. I like DE but his production just doesn't work as well for the band.
^ no doubt! We need Terry back.
I've actually been listening to Diamond Eyes (the song) a lot now, I started looking at it as any other song not just an annoying single. I love it.
I always find the drums on Nick's recordings to be kinda flat. Just dead sounding and too compressed.

I'm just baffled.
I won't lie, I totally loved it at first. And I'm pretty surprised myself, don't go and think I'm being an hypocrite or whatever. But it was just a first impression, I was all over the place because my favorite band had finally released some new music. My opinion was not matured in any way.
Songs are cool as fuck. Still.
The production and sound of it have just become too stale for me....

I don't think I've ever seen anyone change their opinion, about an album, that drastically before.
I'm just baffled.
haha so we got extreme praise, and extreme bashing.i wonder - was there ever something in between? or is the wonderful thing - the extreme itself? :D

Nope. A slight touch of realism made me see how Diamond Eyes was actually not that good at all.
u could prob ably find all of the snw haters from a while back loving it now, also.

what made this flip flop decision? tell us about that day
I've listened to their albums for quite some time and I still love this album. Fucking phenomenal and for being made in around 6 months, they pulled it off
they should have release a video for prince instead of beauty school.
a lot of people who aren't deftones fans say that song kicks ass.
Well, it does kick ass I must say... :)
Diamond Eyes kick SNW ass pretty hard.
It does. I really dont understand all the Diamond Eyes hate, I mean its only here I see some people disliking it (i know opinions its ok man)
But mine, its the best album they did since White Pony. Although I dont like songs like Sextape or 976evil, others like Prince, Royal, CMND/CTRL and Rockets Skates I felt in love since first hearing them. Its not ATF but sometimes it sounds like it, sometimes.
I also like the self titled song, despite sounding a bit popish sometimes.

I don't HATE it. I don't dislike it as a record. I actually like it as a record. I just don't like it as a Deftones record.
Just listened to royal for the first time in awhile. The last 45 seconds of the song make want to fuck shit up. Otherworldly.

I agree with this. It's my least favorite Deftones album, and SNW was a MILLION times better.. but I still like it as a record. But Risk, Royal, and Rocket Skates are pretty much the only songs from DE that ever get played on my itunes
976 is really underrated, IMO.
976 is awesome, since the first listen of DE it has been one of my favorite songs. I like when Chino sings in songs like this and the whole feel of the song is enjoyable to me. I still don't know why Diamond Eyes gets the hate it does around this site. Behind Around the Fur, S/T, and White Pony, it is probably their best album. Not hating on the others, just a solid band with a solid body of work. Can't wait to hear what 2012 brings.
There's a very dreamy quality to 976 that I absolutely love.

I decided to give Diamond Eyes a spin today (actually right now). It really isn't that bad, doesn't deserve the flack it got on it's release. My initial thoughts of it's hidden romantic and dark clouds really become apparent with the first half. I do hear the "band on auto pilot", but I also hear why we love these guys. I still think Frank dropped the ball on Rocket Skates though. lol
It still, in my opinion, cannot hold a candle to some of their other albums (more specifically SNW, ATF, and WP). Although I may actually like it better then Self Titled collectively. But in fair arguement S/T has moments that stand out better then Diamond Eyes.
Uh oh!
:o
Even though I think the singing and some of the songwriting has really matured and set a status quo.

Wywiad z Deftones - Rock in Summer, Park Sowińskiego, Warszawa, 16.08.2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGblzedzV8k#ws)
Thought I'd post this here. SO, the last unheard diamond eyes song is called Coby (working title) and abe cracks a joke about it being played. Care of verify if this was indeed played before?
Diamond Eyes is great! I love Sextape, This Place is Death, Beauty School and Risk as the calmer ones, and Rocket Skates, CMND/CTRL, Royal, Diamond Eyes and You've Seen the Butcher as the heavier ones. (YSTB isn't THAT heavy, but whatever)
From favorite to least favorite it's probably YSTB, Rocket Skates, Sextape, Diamond Eyes, Beauty School, Risk, This Place is Death, CMND/CTRL, Royal, 976-EVIL, then Prince. I like the covers they did on that album as well, those are great
After all this time, my only complaint with the album is the title track Diamond Eyes. At first i thought it was great but it's worn off. It's boring and repetitive. Skipped every time but I still maintain the rest of the album is great.
The more I listen to Diamond Eyes, the more I think it is better than Saturday Night Wrist (for me anyway). Saturday Night Wrist is a cooler album name though ha
I do like the album name SNW. Way more creative.

I hate Saturday Night Wrist. HATE IT! I like a couple of songs. But DE is better imo. Although S/T is better than both.
I like it. As time goes on, even more. But I know more people dislike SNW than any other record too so whatever u like. This may be the one time u don't get slayed on this board for giving an opinion, people like to do that like u share a brain! ;D ;D ;D Which is your favorite then? Then again, I like something about every one of their studio records and when I say that..... I am a ------ I guess. Wouldn't b here if I didn't like the music, ;D ;
If that was to me, I think Around The Fur is their best (mostly because of Chino's vocal performance on that disc). There were some good riffs but as someone else mentioned in another thread, guitar wise I feel ATF was a small step below Adrenaline. Favorites off DE currently are CMND/CNTRL, Butcher, and 976.

I really do like them all for different reasons, although SNW is just weak and fragmented to me. I like DE because it is a cohesive album from front to back. I can listen to it without skipping a song because it has a definite flow. Adrenaline is just raw. Its like finding minerals in the dirt in their natural state without being refined into precious metal. That's where ATF comes in. WP is good but it's not the best. I think it has some truly great moments, but as a record it's lacking to me. S/T was a grower for me as it was very heavy for my taste at the time. But the more I listen to it, the more I believe it captures beauty and aggression better than all of their albums. But then again it has Lucky You and Moana, which I don't like too much. To me the reason I like Deftones is because of their uniqueness and their changing styles. Some people will always say, "Well I don't like it, because it's not like their old stuff, not heavy and experimental enough." Others will say "Well it's too similar to their other stuff." Or "It's sounding too much like pop." And some might just believe they suck. But I'm glad they've been a band of contrasting sounds for the most part.
Diamond Eyes is a Deftones album. It's good.

Diamond Eyes still feels fresh even if its a two year album.
I bought my first deftones album in the 8th grade on a whim just searching for 'my sound'. Those days were rough, got grounded a lot (which meant no tv, internet, phone, etc... just music) and white pony was probably the closest I could find to relating with how I felt. Rage, depression, angst. Eventually I got into adrenaline and around the fur (imo their best work) and at many points during college I wished I could have a chip inserted into my brain that would play adrenaline on loop all day every day (probably would have regretted that). Self titled hit me during a weird stage during my life... lots of white powder those days and listening to the album still gives me chills. Saturday Night Wrist, imo, was pretty weak and just an average album. There are gems, don't get me wrong, but then Diamond Eyes came out. I cannot stop listening to it. The replayability of it really shows how much they put into it and it is very obvious how good it is considering they promoted it with two back to back tours. I lump Diamond Eyes with Adrenaline as their best stuff to date.
IMO not my favorite bc it's different than the rest to me but indeed a great record. I am happy that people do regard it one of their best. No argument there. It is great music especially in comparison to other music today. :)
I'm going to unsticky this as Diamond Eyes is a thing from the past.
(thank god)

I never liked the chorus of Diamond Eyes. That is one thing that definitely does not sound like Deftones to me on this record and much more generic radio rock/pop band. Hopefully none of that or Sextape on KNY. Hopefully no CMND/CTRL style vocals either.
I honestly consider this my second favorite Deftones album behind White Pony. 2 years later, and it's still as fresh as it was when I first heard it. I don't understand the hate with the choruses, especially when they get a bit radio-friendly on "Diamond Eyes", "Sextape", or "Beauty School". I personally love the fact that Deftones have range in the music industry, not to stick to the anti-mainstream explosive choruses and simply make the music they feel is right. I appreciate any music they put out regardless of the direction they're going in (though, I admit, if they touch dubstep I'm revoking my Deftones fan license). DE is still a close-masterpiece to me. Though I seem to be in the minority. Oh well.
No no no, I'm not talking about the choruses on the album, I'm specifically talking about the chorus of Diamond Eyes the song. I love Beauty School, it's my favourite song on the album and the other choruses are fine by me.
song rankings.
11. Prince
10. 976 - Evil
9. CMND/CTRL
8. Beauty School
7. Risk
6. Diamond Eyes
5. Rocket Skates
4. Sextape
3. You've Seen The Butcher
2. This Place Is Death
1. Royal
Song rankings are going a little too far.

It has to live a little longer to be more memorable, although for me I see it clearly from the start.
This album is and KNY are absolutely bludgeoning.
Just listened to a few tracks off this last night, and I must admit, this album does have a sort of "freshness" to it when compared to the older stuff (probably just because its newer and i've heard it less times, etc.). "Diamond Eyes" and "You've Seen The Butcher" grew on me a little bit, but a lot of the other songs are kind of cheesy and if only Chino's vocals could have been produced and performed better the songs would be SO MUCH stronger. Listening to "Sextape" or "Diamond Eyes" instrumentally and then listening to the official songs with vocals makes me a little sad honestly. A unique kind of song for Deftones with good structure and another with a BAD ASS outro, but then Chino took a huge, commercial shit on both...
Other songs I dont even think are worthy at all. "Rocket Skates" sucks, "Beauty School"'s high guitar parts almost sound country-ish.....
"Royal" is another one Chino could have done better on.... "Risk"'s chorus sucks, but the verse is pretty sick... "The Place Is Death" has a beautiful chorus but once again Chino could have done a lot more with this... Something more subtle....
The only song that I really will definitively stand behind on this record is "976-Evil". I feel that one is probably the most genuine. Chino could have done a bit more with the chorus though....... Meehh.....
One thing Ive noticed about this album though is through out the songs it has these little moments where the music will kind of subside and ring out for a second or it may even be the end of the song but its just these moments feel like old school Deftones for just a minute, and then they go straight back into this new style crap.... For example the ending of "Diamond Eyes" is fucking brutal, that riff sounds like someones neck is being snapped over and over lol, or when the drums, bass and synth first kick in on "You've Seen The Butcher", that almost sounds like it could have been on S/T, until Chino fuck its up....... Then there's the ending of "Beauty School". That little riff is pretty damn heartbreaking. There's also that little break in "Rocket Skates" at around 2:35 where it sounds like shit is about to fucking go off when they go back into the heavy part, but instead they just repeat that lame riff..... Sigh.....

Diamond Eyes is all about verse chorus verse chorus 5 seconds break verse chorus -Prince has 3 verses, I think it might be the same for Sextape and 976-evil -on which I would agree is a definitive highlight. The only songs with actual -good- breakdowns on it are Royal and Cmnd/Ctrl. But this album was made in 4 months and you can feel it was litterally made from jams
But overall, it flows. I can listen to it from start to finish. It feels authentic, raw, maybe a little unpolished -in terms of songwriting. It has its definitive qualities, but I've got to admit I rarely listen to it these days. If Diamond Eyes is Star Wars' A New Hope then KNY is definitely The Empires Strikes Back.
976-Evil is the shit.. I wish they'd try it out on the road.

dumb review IMO. Plus rocket skates is a sensation, how could those riffs and chorus not move you. whatever. cool great awesome man.
Rocket Skates has one of the laziest bridges in the history of the universe. My only problems with this band are when they get lazy like that or repeat a riff too many times in a song. My least favorite songs on KNY are Gauze and Goon Squad because by the end of the song, I'm so tired of hearing that main riff.
Yeah I think that is one of my problems with Diamond Eyes it's a good album but the instrumentals aren't there, Stephen always repeats riffs in his songs but it didn't work in Diamond Eyes because the riffs were too simple and it just sounded lazy, I put it down to him getting used to writing on an 8 string on KNY he really expanded his riffs, Also on Diamond Eyes Sergio followed what Stephen was doing closely and it basically took another element out off the songs.
I disagree.

Deftones were always about the simple big chunky riffs...it was always about the rythm and the general feel of it. Stephen did write some legendary riffs such as Root, My Own Summer or Feiticeira though.
I still agree that he could have gone the extra mile for songs like Diamond Eyes or Risk. On KNY Chino's parts add a lot to Steph's riffs so I generally have no complaints for guitar parts on that album.
Yeah KNY is a huge step up guitar wise , Stephen uses some much more of the range an 8 string provides in DE he played most of the stuff on the 3 lowest strings, I know Stephens' style is to write simple riffs and I love his style but on DE the riffs lacked that groove his riffs usually posses. as you said it just felt like he settled on some of the songs.
His new riffs are very complex, i'm talking about getting them right, not just the jist, whenever I see people try they fuck up massively. If it's so simple then you go do it, seriously. If lazy is what you call diamond eyes, then lazy is a good thing. every song is the type of shit to get you evicted if you turn it up. he's driving a motherfucking train on these last two records.
That's the point I'm a pretty shitty guitar player compared to most and I can play the Diamond Eyes stuff with so much ease, he rarely uses more than four strings on that album, he just seemed stick to the bottom 4 strings for a song or the 4 highest strings for a song. The riffs impress non guitar players because they are so heavy, on that album he seemed to play a simple riff on the two bottom strings for the verse and then he would just play a basic rhythm riff on the middle strings and that was it.

what's so basic? you can't do it.
Actually I can and really easily that's my point ,I already said I'm real shit at playing guitar but still I picked up the Diamond Eyes stuff instantly it is honestly so simple. Just look at this tab compared to one from Adrenaline which is played alot faster over alot more of the frets and it also uses more techniques like harmonics and palm mutes aswell.

Ya I was just playing that you can't do it, because if you can then you're not a bad guitarist, because he sure as hell ain't and I don't care what people say about that just because he can't shred like zakk or something. isn't his tuning for that album an 8 string in E? that's what I thought anyway.
Nah F# I think for most of it although I think all the KNY stuff is Drop E
Just because something is complex or difficult to play, doesn't mean it sounds good.
Yeah I know but on Diamond Eyes the riffs were simple which I don't have a problem with it's more the fact they sounded lazy like they should have been fleshed out more, I just put the Nosebleed tab there to show the difference between the range of the guitar he used thought it might surprise some people you would think with the 8 there would be more range but he just didn't use it on Diamond Eyes he could of used a five string bass for alot of the songs, He did alot better on KNY though seemed alot more confident writing on the 8 he's a great guitarist but Diamond Eyes lacked the groove he's so great at making.
