Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[FeetLikeFins]

Chino sounds incredible on this cd.  Revitalized, man.

[heythere]

A little pissed off. I guess WB pulled all the leak links quick fast and in a fucking hurry.  I've already payed for the goddamn album and they mopped up all the links before I could get to them. Fuckers. Any chance they'll release anything else to those of us who have already purchased the album? And i mean more than that piss poor remix of rocket skates

[rock_n_frost]

I totally am in LUST over this CD, still.   I hear it and I feel all school girlish looking at that boy I have a crush on....     It makes me smile uncontrollably... and I can't help but move my body.     I can't even make a list of favorites yet.... but I DO KNOW that I LOVE Royal.... and scream at the end....    it could make me cum.    ...that is all.

..Wow.

thats a hot one, isnt it

yeah, poor you for not being able to use the internet properly.

besides, it's not your right in any way to be able to download the leak before the album comes out, or get any other bonuses just because you've already ordered it. find something else to cry about.

You're not alone in this!

I can't really make a list out of the songs. They so belong together, they're all great in their own way. I do know the latter half of the record has grown on me tremendously. First half is great to get pumped before going out, second half is deeper, like the night is on the end and you just want to chill in the car driving to anywhere with the sun slowly coming up.

I do know Risk was my least favourite and now its one of my favourites. It reminds me of Adrenaline a great lot.

right, I can't use the internet properly because I'm not as adept at being some pre-pubescent pimply faced drain or some Starbucks employed idiot that steals their entertainment because I don't have an education or real job. Not exactly a logics major were you? But hey, at least your king of the interwebz! Idiot

[Subliminal]

Holy shit I love this album, so fuckin' much!

[Moz]

holy shit suddenly you've seen the butcher is my favourite. wtf.

[rock_n_frost]

...

[TheQuietDoom46]

Holy shit I love this album, so fuckin' much!

its fucking fantastic.

getting the leak isn't really a challenge, that's all I'm saying.

and you're not making a good first impression there, buddy. 2 posts and 2 strikes. a third and you're out.

[Moz]

finally this place is death is growing on me. took me 20 listens or something.

[decapod]

holy shit suddenly you've seen the butcher is my favourite. wtf.

Song is TITS!

[rock_n_frost]

actually he used that voice at cherry waves ''suuuuuuuck'' part

[Hidalgo]

ahhh cherry waves, such a fine track. snw really does have some of their best songs. riviere, kimdracula, combat, cherry waves, xerces. snw is solid, only mein and pcp are letdowns really. that said DE murders both snw and st combined. they decided not to half ass it anymore, get out from underneath that dark cloud, and stop making just good albums(st & snw) and get back to GREAT albums

[Subliminal]

holy shit suddenly you've seen the butcher is my favourite. wtf.

Ditto. I can't get that bit where he goes ''I wanna 'fingymajig'..'' BHUM BHUM, TABHUM BHUM, CHUGGADACHUG BHUM BHUM, BHUM BHUM out of my head haha

The combination of Abe's sick snare and Stephs ball shakingly low tuning, it just fuckin HITS man. I can imagine it'd be an amazing live track.

but when chino yells "Come Wake" in 976, it sends chills down my spine.  GOD DAMN he throws it down hard on this album.  

i dont like chinos vocal effort on high notes in 976..i expect ''digital bath high notes'' at some parts  

Funny thing is, those 'high notes' in Digital Bath, are his falsetto, just like the one in Cherry Waves where he goes 'Suuuuuuck' and the same with 976 'So I geeeeeeeeeeeeeeet'

So really, it's the same thing, just a bit lower. He can still do the Digital Bath highs man, anyone who knows how to sing in falsetto pretty much can. It's so much easier than belting highs.

[Hidalgo]

yes, the odd rhythm "bu'duh duh de duh chun dun" is freakin killer. i see why he mentions it in that interview that they never did anything like it before. nylons and suspenders

his voice is finally starting to recover from the MAJOR DAMAGE he did to it like 9 years ago

Totally man.

I've never heard anything like it, not even Meshuggah has done something like that. Which is why I'm so in love with this album, a lot of fresh stuff going on. I love how him and Abe have locked on to the odd time signatures, it completely throws you off for about 100 listens, then you catch on.

It's just that bit where Chino wails and then he has a backing vocal that rises in tone slowly, along with it. It's just fuckin' awesome..

Also taking note of how damn healthy he looks now. It's scary, he looks like Chino from the end of ATF/beginning of White Pony days!

I tell ya, the chorus to I've seen the butcher is Death from above 1979!
