8:25 to 8:40 of Mission Sunset is certainly a contender for favourite part of the album for me. Chino sounds so nice and powerful during this stretch.
This album is definitely better than Koi No Yokan me thinks and arguably better than Diamond Eyes. At least it's doing more for me anyway. Chino's vocals resonate more with me on this for sure.
Already ideas for a new album and Chino providing guitar? Um, can I say heck yes? Also, if Deftones called it quits, and Chino focused on Palms as his main band, I don't think I would mind too much. This fits Chino better nowadays anyway.
