[the same sound]

Is their best since white pony.

you misspelled self titled.

LOL I agree 100%

[Menos el Oso]

I don't know about you guys, but I kind of grew tired of "Beauty School". Don't get me wrong, I like the instrumental part of it, but I kind of got tired of the cheesy chorus after listening too it for a while..

easily

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.

I agree, I think its an awesome album

[deftones86]

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 

[BillyNo.9]

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 

[beansandcornbread]

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.

everyones got their reasons for liking them, thats why we're all on the message board, common ground

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.
