I'm glad to hear that NYRexall was unimpressed with Rubicon.  I was beginning to think I was the only one who found the infatuation with that song puzzling.  I mean it's okay, but definitely not better than many of these other tracks.  It doesn't give me near the kind of response as LMIRL, Pittura, Acid Hologram, or Geometric Headdress.

Rubicon just has a unique finality to it. It's placement as the last track is what makes it an impactful song, in my opinion. Just hearing the album end that way was really exciting for me.

Maybe I jumped the gun on calling it epic, and I agree there are better songs on the album. But i think all of our "favs" have bounced around the last few days haha.

Absolutely, man.  The biggest jump for me has been Pittura.  It went from dead-fuckin'-last to top 3 in a week.  I can't believe I wrote this song off so early...

Nah, me too, man. I like it, but it gets repetitive and it doesn't live up to the hype everyone's given it, for me.

i've heard the album 30xs(or more) now i can can still say rubicon is easily my favorite song on the album.

Supposedly white vinyl still available on Amazon? I might grab it

It says "temporarily out of stock", so your best bet would be eBay.

The #1 ranking is under the album description on Amazon

So i bought the vinyl/cd, but also got a download email from Deftones...

If I download the album (even though I don't really need it) will this help with album sales/ratings?

Haha, it's so strange how their songs fluctuate like that. Can't think of another band that has that effect. I'm really loving Rubicon now - got the 'chunky' bit stuck in my head!

Rubicon is decent and is growing on me, but I think it's still destined to be one of my least favourite tracks on the album as a whole. Phantom Bride is probably my other least favourite right now because the way Chino sings is far too sugary for my tastes.

I will say that H/W has improved seismically since the first couple times I heard it. I just wish the ending was like a minute longer to truly make it an epic. It starts out with that minute-plus intro but then ends rather abruptly.

Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering myself why no mention was made.

From a mixing standpoint the album is awful. So much noisy artifacts that could've been EQed out of there. The low-end could've been compressed tighter (it gets out of control quite often). Don't get me started on the production of Chino's vocals....But w/e still a great album.

anniversary is so fucking underrated. top 5 deftones for me

Fucking love it, it's so so aethereal and sad - kinda like an out of body experience.

two questions

1- are you a musician/producer?

2- if you say yes to either..are you successful?

Steph's guitar tone is pretty garbage across most of this record. Don't know what the fuck he was doing working on his tone for so long. Go back to the drawing board buddy. Abe is fucking crushing it on this record but it's too bad he gets so pushed to the back a lot. Still, loving this record the more I listen to it.

For a guy that's been "chasing" guitar tone for so long, it sure does seem to be getting worse.  He should have quit with his tone after SNW and worked more on his playing then maybe he could have played his own solo on Phantom Bride.  Still love the guy and what he contributes to Deftones though. 

true, he really needs to be called out at this point. Chino & the gang need to almost demand he learn the solo on phantom bride. question his manhood, pride,whatever it takes. if he just play the main solo part(forget the end part, since he plays there already) just play it 1 time ever it becomes "their" solo. otherwise it's just weird having it there, & it's a mercenary doing his job for him. man up Stephen

i would have to agree somehow, this mix might be the most pushback abe has gotten on any deftones record. i wouldn't call the tone garbage, but i am not sure i'll get over the mix of the last two albums... DR 5 is just pretty poor.

the solo rocks, though i think the song its strong enough to hold its own live. dont get me wrong though, im totally into it. i totally wasnt expecting the leads at the outro, loved it.
