Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[nicklav]

weren't there a restraining order against shaun lopez after snw - not to come anywhere near deftones material for all eternity?

Pretty sure he produced the vocals on Diamond Eyes.

any source on this?

I'd be very surprised if this were true.

I'm kind of hoping it's not.

It doesn't really matter to me as the vocals on this new record are the best I've heard for a while. The style is very  Sade.

[downtownpony]

same thing i thought. or maybe his style is just more influenced by her this time around.

I'd be very surprised if this were true.

I'm kind of hoping it's not.

what does it matter? the vocals sound awesome. wouldn't it rather be a good thing if Lopez did them, thus showing that he can do better than SNW?

Good point. I take back my last statement.

[There Will Be Blood]

I can't wait to hear Royal and Prince live going to be so wicked!

[nineteenpeoplesnames]

My one desert Island disc for sure. This album is still a monster.

I'm really curious about whay songs they're gonna be playing live. unfortunately Sextape sounds like one of those songs they'll skip - it'll probably be hard to recapture the magic of that song on stage.

It doesn't.  I'd just be very surprised if it were true, being that the vox sound so superior to SNW.

[TheQuietDoom46]

I think the live songs will be Diamond Eyes, Royal, CMND/CTRL, Prince, and Risk.

[There Will Be Blood]

...

LOL


Royal is going to sound amazing live!

[nineteenpeoplesnames]

I hope they play You've Seen The Butcher. I'd like to hear that live.

Deathblow.

Deathblow.

I wish.

They just can't play it: it would end up in a huge orgy like in that scene from the movie Perfume story of a murderer!

I would have actually preferred the album cover on the Diamond Eyes Single, then the white owl album cover.

[Inkblades]

Agreed. Oh well.

[There Will Be Blood]

the white owl is cool... reminds me of white pony

[E-Money]

I gave the album a rest for a while.  Just listened to it again tonight and it was probably my favorite listen so far.  Lately I've been getting a darker feel from the album.

Definitely. The owl is OK, but looks a little lame IMO.
