Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[lostpilot]

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.

nice first post

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

[pixElsblUr]

I LOLed at that shit too

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.

[Inkblades]

That Spin article said eleven.

[Inkblades]

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.

[rock_n_frost]

lets dream about it.......................nice

[Hidalgo]

lets dream about it.......................nice

only in dreams

[rock_n_frost]

i think chi will be back to normal this year
so then they can release eros together

[IN WAVES]

Nylons and Suspenders... Just the name alone makes me wonder what it sounds like.lol

[deftoner664]

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.

[deftoner664]

Yeah I figured thats what it was.. damn...

[deftonesfan192]

Two albums in one year that would be great (id wait for that)

Just as long as they dont do a double album that would be gay like Steal this album - SOAD
