Poll
Question:
Choose your least favorite song
Option 1: Kimdracula
votes: 23
Option 2: Rivière
votes: 19
Combat was eliminated in round 10.
Rivière gets my vote just because I once had trouble getting into this song.
I can't realistically vote against Rivière.
I wanted to make a pun like this: "Rivière haunts the poll, it waits for a new vote..." but it seems I'll never be able to do so.
Fuck, this is hard. Bye byr kimdracula
Rivière all the way.
i wont vote.
Either could win and I'd be happy.
I like Riviere but I can think of five better songs off of SNW that are WAY better than that one. what a bunch of bandwagons.
Riv is just as good as it gets. Had to vote Kimdracula.
Riviere is the best song.
But you shouldn't make a poll and try to influence it in your first post. It invalidates the poll.
So tough to vote here, had to eliminate Kim Dracula. Riviere has a unique style here.
Riviere is only good if you're chilling/by yourself/calm setting.
Not good for blasting down the highway or anything like that. For that reason I'm voting Riviere, hope Kimdracula wins (Y)
Tough one. Both awesome songs. Wish they'd play Kimdracula again!
Riviere has a special place in my heart. Kimdracula was my favourite when the record came out but Riviere sticks with you.

Riviere is very special.
These elimination threads went by before I could see them. Rivière is the unexpected gem that came out of the SNW mayhem. Very happy to see it win.
I feel like I have an interesting relationship with Riviere. It was one of the few songs I didn't dislike after listening to SNW for the first time(HITE and Beware were 10/10s on
first listen, while this was an 8/10). It's a really chill song which really captures the mellower part of Deftones. I also really like how it melts into "Drive" even if that song is a cover. About 3 years after listening to SNW and growing to like every song, even Pink Cellphone if I'm in a tolerable mood, it's not exactly my favorite anymore. The chorus doesn't sound quite as good to me. But it's weird...even if I don't love the song anymore I love listening to it every once in a blue moon for some reason. It's like finding a long-lost lover who isn't really the same anymore but you still kind of love for a reason you can't describe.
Took me a while to get into but Kimdracula is a great song. It's kinda raw but also has this wild rock atmosphere which makes you want to jump up and down and ride the guitar like a roller coaster. Chino's vocals are great here too, his range(even with the help of mixing) is impressive. Everyone is solid on all fronts.
Riviere is a great idea of a song. It only falls flat during the bridge, like many Deftones songs.
Nah, that bridge is awesome. Although, I remember reading something when the album came out that Riviere was originally longer, but Lopez had Chino shorten it. Probably not the best idea for the song (feels like it ends abruptly), but it's still amazing and definitely the rightful winner of SNW elimination. It's absolutely haunting, and definitely takes a moose-sized shit on a bland dad rock song like What Happened to You?.
I always thought the three times instead of four in the bridge were a great idea, in a dysfunctional album context.
