Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[Starz]

I also think Battle-Axe is their greatest song, ever.

[Deftones-argentina]

off the subject, but does anyone think Stef should maybe do the next album using a 6 string again? i dunno, i just kinda prefer his 6 string sound of the first 3 albums

i just prefer 6 string guitars in general i guess

definitively, it-s time for him to go back. but I should admit I like the 8 stringed more than the 7.



Oh, and I definetively preffer SNW over s/t because of all the colours snw has in their songs and ST doesnt.

[beaverwithfishyshoes]

sometimes i dont get why other people then do like tones. that "goosebumping lushness" (!) is more than represented on snw; hole in the eart, beware, cherry waves, riviere and other (partially) spacey tracks like mein or rats. 

[TheShade1989]

I love ST, but I remember I first listened to it before I actually liked more than a few songs, and I listened to Hexagram first, and thought..."NO. Too loud/scream-ish" and didnt go back to it for quite a while afterwards, wen they all grew on me. I'm weird like that. I hated Rx Queen at first and dont even remember why, but then went back to it and adored it. Still, Adrenaline and Around The Fur are perhaps the albums I like the least amount of songs on, so I guess it's just that I find that their music's improved a lot since then, into more the kind of thing I like.

[Sushi-X]

I remember thinkin the same about Hexagram first time I heard. That opening riff had me going and them bam! the screamin comes in. After a while it just grew on me.

[kleptoned]

Adrenaline is still my fav although DE might take over...Adrenaline is what got me into the Deftones...So unique.The screaming an emotions in the songs...Hooked right away.And as they progressed as did i with there music...All there albums are my favorite...

[tawny]

you know there's something special with this album when the official board is looking more like this one.

[beLIEve]

dont know if this has been posted yet...i cant read 100 pages to find out but.....does any one see the similarities in beauty school and the myspace eros updates videos song?

Yeah its been discussed. It sounds pretty much the same except more like deftones and less like team sleep

[beLIEve]

ahh

[Hesperian Death-Horse!]

This is the first I've seen any mention of the vinyl format:

http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Eyes-Deftones/dp/B003A7I53O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1269584443&sr=1-2

I thought for sure it would be on the official site pre-order if they were going to produce it at all and when I didn't see it, I assumed there would be no  vinyl. Of course, amazon.com is not the most reliable source in these matters.

yea, that is pretty cool. they're a tough crowd

[Hidalgo]

I disliked S/t for so long because it was such a huge disapointment to me after white pony. I thought tons of things were missing to make it an epic album like WP. The songs seemed unfinished and thrown together with no cohesiveness. Now i like it with more perspective, but it is still one of my least favorite from them.

but a least favorite deftones album is better than most bands could ever hope for.

and i always disliked moana, for i don't know why, im sorry moana lovers.

i feel the same, it was a major letdown. writers block? Chino's melodies and ideas just weren't top notch for him. he seemed a bit offkey at times too. his worst vocals on an album, sound and melody wise. good lyrics though, as usual. songs seem unfinished, uninspired, lazy, lack of enough tempo changes, hexagran has 2 riffs. seems like a bsides album. it was still my fav album of the year. it's good.their worst,kills what most bands could make at their best

[mark]

i felt the same about white pony, it was a major letdown from around the fur. then s/t came out and everything was good again.

[Hidalgo]
