I think you have to be familiar and used to the the harsh sound of those bands I mentioned before you can fully appreciate Rats, though.

I'm familiar with those groups and harsh music in general. Meshuggah fan here. But screaming "DECIDE!" over and over in the most annoying pitch isn't my kind of thing. I don't know. "When Girls Telephone Boys" is probably my favorite Deftones track, so it's not like I have anything against their heavier material.

Let me guess you're one of those scrubs who doesn't like Hexagram either?

I was just generalizing. I just got the feeling that some people complaining about Rats don't listen to music with this level of intensity in general and therefore shouldn't be the judge here.

"Hexagram" is outstanding. Not one of my favorites off the self-titled record, but still a great song.

Again. I love the heavier Deftones material and might even prefer it over their calmer stuff. I mentioned WGTB. "Engine No. 9" and "Around the Fur" are two other favorites. Sorry, but his piercing screams in "Rats" sound forced. Just my opinion.

I agree, I like the song except for the whole "decide!!" thought it was pretty uninspired and repetitive... musically the songs is pretty damn cool though I must say, vocals are definitely kind of lacking on that one...

The screams, the drum, the final inhale scream, a fucking good song to me.
