Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[jesusinabowlofdirt]

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.
I do enjoy the Finger of Death vibe in Diamond Eyes (Fuck that song needs to be studio released).

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

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.

why didnt u mention minerva?  

but thats me, i might be naive.

hey i might be too cynical. aaaaw COME HERE YOU

Deathblow is radio friendly? I love that song but come on.

i said more radio friendly....
the emphasis is on the word more

[Inkblades]

I disagree. Hexagram wasn't gonna get them any new fans but I think it satisfied the diehards. Deathblow is too slow, moody and plodding for radio.

and hexagram is too *say any word that defines hexagram* for the radio...what's the point. in my opinion, hexagram was simply the less likely song to make the single cut lol.
anyway its a useless argument.

lets talk about how diamond eyes rock

Deftones-Diamond Eyes

[lahemi]

Nah, m1nusblindfoLd i'll guess.
And even if I could understand m1nusblindfoLd's complaints, i'll go with MxKnife. These albums will always be there, i'm ready to hear something completely new.

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.

how about this then? just for you

[jesusinabowlofdirt]

that's a cyborg, not a robot. duhhhh

anyway.. completley off topic (sorry).. but a cyborg.. isnt it suppose to have som biologic stuff in em? like skin ,blood o so forth? maybe it is a robot before skynet puts skin and shit on them, they become a cyborg after they put skin and human tissue on em. if thats the cause, my pic had a robot not a cyborg.
i could be wrong thou

there we go, now we're talkin, but maybe c3po would work better, since he's got arms and such. is it because he's gay?
