Too generic. I don't see where they're trying to go. It doesn't get to another level at any moment, to me. Meh, totally meh. I've never really liked Shaun's style anyway. No offense intended, and I know I probably won't have the chance to do half of what they've done in music, but it's the way I feel it. Oh, and Chino has no voice at all anymore.

Some good lyrics, though.

Vesanic

And Team Sleep is like 3939859485930390 times beyond that.

Starz

Really? I thought the lyrics for these songs were terrible. Like I said before, the production is too clean and polished for me. Needs to be more raw sounding and Chino's vox need to be more washy and reverby imo

Vesanic

They're nice, I mean it's better than Ke$ha lol. But nothing mindblowing, to me, that's right. Lots of them do sound like the average pop song.

i had a feeling you wouldn't like it.

Haha, me too.

You really don't like Deftones or anything Chino related anymore, huh?

This statement is simply beyond me. He hasn't sounded this good since the WP days. Especially live.

Can't really undestand what you're getting at.

Not the Deftones/Chino from today, until they release something that I consider actually good.

Inkblades

His voice isn't what it used to be, but he's been screaming on a stage for 16 years. He wasn't going to have his ATF/WP voice forever.

V, just out of curiosity, did any of the snippets sound good to you?

Vesanic

I know, the guy is almost 40, blah, blah, blah.


Haven't heard the snippets in a while but I admit I remember enjoying the hell out of some of them.

Inkblades

Well, there are more EP's coming. Maybe they'll get you the next time. If you're still listening, that is.

Vesanic

My curiosity is bigger than a black dick, so yeah, I will listen to the next releases.

Balthazard

I kinda get it , its more refined and polished than what we are used to with chino ... even team sleep had something raw to it
That being sad he cant keep doing the same stuff  and besides its always nice to hear more music from him
i mean i remember before Saturday night wrist how there wasnt a single news from chino
its just nice to see him being active.. overall that Ep is good stuff  but not as epic as some deftones track  but good stuff none the less

Inkblades

Ha, everyone check Shaun's twitter. Pitchfork just ran with the Witch House story. Fucking idiots. Whether you all like this or not, we can at least agree its not Witch House.

Dude, is that even something I've asked for ? If I wanted him to keep doing the same shit, I'd have stopped listening to the Tones after hearing WP for the first time. I don't care if it's new. I don't care if he sings pop, metal, rock, opera, if he plays reggae, hardcore or even fucking polka. I just want it to be good and have that special something. And that's not what I see in this EP.

poofing acid

As a semi deftones hater, Chino's voice sounded great in May.  Better than the fat whine the last time i saw them in 04.  Agreed with theis(holy shit) that it hasn't been this good since WP.


Balthazard

Chino doing polka music now that would be something im willing to pay to see  lol
but anyway more seriously i get it , i guess its missing some soul to it

illzilla

I think it's fucking great , Chino deserves to shine, his voice sounds better than ever.

Corleone

You can tell Chino has been listening to m83, I like it alot, plus it's going to grow on me and sound amazing while driving stoned

well i guess we should get to lyrics.

†his Is A †rick

somethings changed in your face i've noticed
a different sparkle in those crazy eyes
you're unmistakable charade i know it
always tricks me every time

a million tears
a trillion times
i've seen that glaze
and glitch in your eyes
(this is a trick) hello, hello, i know
(what this really is) hello, hello, hello (?)

what's the matter with the transformation
what you've been practicing for days and nights
while i'm watching the creation of this
awful creature that no one likes

a million tears
a trillion times
i've seen that glaze
and glitch in your eyes
(this is a trick) hello, hello, i know
(what this really is) hello, hello, hello (?)
(this is a trick) hello, hello, i know
(what this really is) i know hello, hello

i'm so excited i can hardly take it

(this is a trick) hello, hello, i know
(what it really is) hello, hello, hello (?)
(it's just a trick) hello, hello, i know
(what it really is) i know, hello, hello


Op†ion

i dream a day, that god will surface
to retreat his nails, and open your heart
you'll say you're mine, for the ages
just open
your heart

and say, i swear
on the cross
can you promise this
to the grave
you'll take, my name
can you promise me

over seas and over mountains
a thousand years i've waited for her
to say the lies (?) bursting forward (?)
just open
your heart

and say, i swear
on the cross
can you promise that
to the grave
you'll take, my name
can you promise me

all this time i've prayed for this day to come true
no one knows how deep the waves we waded through
i wish i could take your hand and make it true
no one knows how far apart we've stayed to get through
i wish i could take your hand and make it true
cause no one knows how far apart we stay to get through

and say, i swear
on the cross
can you promise this
to the grave
you'll take, my name
can you promise me

Bermuda Locke†

i gotta tell you something
i wanna view your dreams
i wanna pull out your crazy
pull it over me
i might take ya somewhere
far across the seas
i need your faith, i need your everything

as you enter
into my curse
our dreams reverse
and the demons burn

so i wait, anticipate
to meet you tonight
we've come this way
i will bring your dreams to life

i wanna move you somewhere
close to ecstasy
i might tell you things
some which you won't believe
i wanna view the signals
that control your brain
i need a taste
i need your everything

as you enter
into my curse
our dreams reverse
and the demons burst

so i wait, anticipate
to meet you tonight
just come this way
i will bring your dreams to life

from the first time i saw you til now
i have counted the years that've gone by
we'll release those demons tonight, tonight

so i wait, anticipate
to meet you tonight
just come this way
i will bring your dreams to life
so i save, this occasion
to meet you tonight
just come this way
i will bring your dreams to light

†hholyghs†

here on the stainless table
i come inside you and haunt your dreams baby
i don't mind, you can fake it but
i don't mind, come away with me

you make a godly servant
protect your bible between your knees baby
i won't mind, let me play with it
i don't mind, run away with ya

the funeral party favorite
i'm the ghost in the human shape baby
i don't mind, if you play with me
i don't mind, run away with me

*(pretty much entire chorus is a guess)*
we'll drink from the waves
and feel our soul
fall asleep on the graves
and steal our swords
get drunk on the waves
reveal our souls
and fall asleep on the graves
and seal our soul oh


i know when the angel cries you
you'll cross your fingers then fall asleep baby
i don't mind, if you play with me
i don't mind, come away with me

we'll drink from the waves
and feel our soul
fall asleep on the graves
and steal our swords
get drunk on the waves
reveal our souls
and fall asleep on the graves
and seal our soul oh
