Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[976-EVIL]

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

Agreed. I cannot help but feel that we are at the beginning of the "Golden Age" of Deftones not the "Golden Years".

There is no doubt in my mind that Chi's situation has given the band renewed focus on their own futures and their art.

[dictatesofreason]

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

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.

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

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.

lol, so let me get this straight, you're threatening to ban me from an internet forum (lol) because I posted an initial frustration due to the fact that while having actually paid for the album I can't listen to it while others who have stolen it can, got a shitty response from a moderator whom I guess was trying to sound witty and i don't know......maybe.....defensive? by getting on soapbox about how WB "doesn't owe us anything," which of course had absolutely jack shit zero to do with what I had said. If you can actually follow that line of reasoning, then you're the only one and I envy you living in your own little world where you can weave together completely nonsensical, non-sequitur threads of bullshit and somehow feel empowered by it.  Wow.  IN any case, I did find it, and have since downloaded due to a helpful person on another board. So there ya go tough guy, push that manly man ban button, lol, like anyone gives a fuck. Have a nice day.

[Sushi-X]

Honestly doesn't anyone know how to use google? This guy had get from another person on another board. Epic fail.

[dictatesofreason]

ehh..wel both sides of the argument have good points but im neutral


anyways..........

[Sushi-X]

Yeah moving on.

[Saturday Night Whiskey999]

I think "Beauty School" next single...but "Prince" is better in my opinion. "mindset of a killer" would be a good line chorus for a single?

[mikau]

sure, why not?

[Saturday Night Whiskey999]

censorship?

[Menos el Oso]

You know what I wish the guys would reconsider doing? Does anybody remember like 2 years ago, when Chino had mentioned that they were going to  perform their whole discography by performing a whole album, from start to beginning, in different cities? Now would be the time to do that, especially with DIamond Eyes ready to hit the shelves.

[Saturday Night Whiskey999]

yeah..like the cure did in Trilogy...that was awesome.

Unless I am mistaken they did that with a few shows in Sacto a few years back. Pretty cool.

[pixElsblUr]

dredg done that too

How awesome would it be if they did some Like linus demos or eros!

[mikau]

censorship?

nah, I believe its OK. Ive seen worst cases getting a lot of airplay.

[iceache]

They played all of Adrenaline in Vancouver a couple years ago didn't they?

[sing blue silver]

deftones should take a hint from coheed and do a neverender-esque dvd set.

[TheShade1989]

Everytime I listen to You've Seen The Butcher, I hear banging, and I dont know if it's frm the actual song, or I have a ghost in my room that likes the song and likes to express its enjoyment...hm...

[DFTNSHXGRM]

in my opinion. i feel like this is Chino's album.. i mean, yeah it's the Deftones. but the vocals on the entire album are so amazing. on par with adrenaline and around the fur. especially the lyrics he sings to "Risk" - which are without a doubt about Chi.

you can't talk.
i'm anxious.
i'm off the walls
i'm right here just
come outside and see it
well, pack your heart - you might need it.

i'll find a way,
i'm confused, though.
but i think i can try.
i will save your life...
i will try for you.

you're locked up.
no exit.
you did it before, and i've seen it.
come outside.
and breathe air.
relax your arms and let me in.

i'll find a way,
i'm confused, though.
but i think i can try.
i will save your life...
i'll try for you.

i know what to say to take you higher.
no one else can take you higher, but i will try.

i'll find a way.
i'm confused, though.
i think i can try.
i will save your life...

listen to this song, and read the lyrics. this song is about Chi for sure. The emotion in Chino's voice nearly brings me to tears and gives me chills.
