ST is pretty much a completely worthless album.  The only exception being Battle Axe.  That is really the one and only good thing that came from that album.

Man, a lot people really dig WGTB. When I first heard that song I didn't like it that much, but it grew a lot on me. I absolutely love the lyrics though.

S/T actually has some really poetic and artsy lyrics.

minerva...ONLY because i think they tapped ito some un trotted ground with this song. Its sort of a triumph song compared to others of despair and longing...sort of like saying theres hope beyond the darkness. but my second choice would be bloody cape....that shit sets you up for a severe beat down

I don't know about that. I mean the way he sings on Minerva and Battle-Axe are insane. Plus the screams on Hexagram and Bloody Cape are brutal. The old Chino could never scream like that.

dude serious props on that.
i personally dont like to deprive myself but i had a big gap with deftones once, -a about  ayear and a half after wp i put them down until s/t because i was into minerva, but then i didnt really like s/t so i didnt start listening to them at all until may 2005, and i rediscovered their music literally! it was like re-uniting with an old friend er something that i had known since i was 10 years old. kinda cheesy i know.

but yeah thats kewl you'll have a great time when you listen again :)

but yeah again, that new album!!

Dude all those songs suck ass.  I was so disappointed when I heard this album.  It's a piece of shit.  Even the Deftones themselves came out and said it.  Like right before SNW was going to be released they admitted that they got real lazy on ST and wrote a pretty shitty album that could have been so much better if they would have just taken the time and effort to make it so. 

So fuck all of you for saying in the douche.  Even the musicians who wrote it think its crap.

Actually, I agree with Variable.  I've always felt that S/T was their laziest album.  Many of the songs only have like two real parts to them and several songs sound like rehashes of older songs.  It's definitely not worthless though.  Anniversary is one of my favorite Deftones songs and is really what makes that album for me.  Still, I'd have to say it's their weakest effort.

Post by: Variable on Aug 23, 2008, 03:45 AM
Man some of you are just crazy.  Look, here is the way I see it.  Your opinion is your own, and that's cool with me.  But Adrenaline was an amazing record.  Looking back at it, its only  mediocre but for being a bands first album, in the time period it was released.  It was amazing.  Around the fur was a great progression.  A really great record.  Plus they started to push into a whole new territory with BQAD.  Then White Pony.  A master piece.  A truly timeless great album. I really cant say enough good things about White Pony, so I wont even try. 
But to go from the progression of those 3 albums.  To what ST was.  Its just fucking embarrassing.  They progressed.  They went from being average, but just ahead of their time(adrenaline).  To really putting out an amazing piece of art (WP).  To, crap ( ST ). Every deftones album has some flop songs on it.  But to me ST is the other way around, all flops with a couple exceptions.  Minerva and Bloody cape are pretty good songs.  Battle Axe is one of their best ever.  And everything else is just garbage ( although I might have to listen to anniversary again because so many of you are vouching for it and I cant even remember how it goes)

AND THEN.  SNW.  SNW is a truly great album.  Yeah hole in the earth sucked.  But pretty much the rest of the album is some of their strongest work.  It blows my mind that you guys cant see that.  They just finally got it right.  Kept it simple, and made an album front their heart.  ST was all about being that nu metal band that maverick wanted them to be. SNW was about deftones.

Look, no one shits gold every time.  Eventually someone has to shit , shit.  WP was Platinum, ST was shit, and SNW was some solid ass gold.

haha... I wouldn't call it shit.   Relisten to that CD in whole.  If you can't even recall how Anniversary goes, you don't know the songs!   When I first heard ST I was like.. wtf?!   And, now.. I love the CD.    It will never be a White Pony, but it's pretty fucking good.

Yeah I was like WTF too.  I was embarrased to call myself a deftones fan.  I thought the band was done.  Then they totally rocked my world with SNW.  It really is a much better album. But fuck it, im on duty.  Ill go listen to the whole dam thing again.  Got nothing better to do, the terrorist arent biting today :(

Hahaha and you think HITE sucks...one of my favorites on SNW. That song is ethereal and gorgeous. It's songs like Pink Cellphone that sucked. Oh well. To each their own, I guess.

Same here :) SNW has Cherry Waves and Rivière which are beautiful works and no words can sum them up.

@Variable

Variable, dude, you gotta give s/t another spin. That record is so dark and just fucking hauntingly beautiful. Sure, some songs might not be up to par with others  they wrote in the past, but try and appreciate it for what it is, rather than what its not. The thing about masterpieces, and White Pony is a masterpiece despite what anyone may say, is that the album that follows is extremely hard to once again achieve the same praise or even better that the previous album did. Few bands have ever done this and in my opinion, Deftones did a fine job doing a follow up to White Pony. In no ways is it a fuck up or a piece of shit. But, everyone is allowed to have an opinion, let alone express it. I was just trying to see what it was that you loathed about it so much.

Yeah, HITE is horrible.  Just plain horrible.  Pink cell phone was just a song for fun.  Its not like a great song.  But I took it for what it was.  Fun.  Rats Rats Rats, just a song to appeal to all those crying about how deftones are not hard anymore.  but like Cherry Waves and Kimdracula ect, those are amazing songs.

Im trying to find the actual interview where they said they got lazy writing this album.  But so far all I can find is this.  It's a good start though. # 8 if you care to check me.

"In recent interviews the band describe how they had become lazy in the making of this record;"

Deathblow because is the perfect song to be with my GF. Lovers is also another great song !!!!

You must have one depressing relationship 'cause that's one depressing song.

Also I got into the Defones by listening to SNW. Thought it was a great album. Then I listened to White Pony. I was amazed, it was a trillion times better. Then Adrenaline and ATF. Those sounded very different, but better than SNW as well. Then came ST. I heard it was their worst album. It blew me away. I'd masturbate to all the songs all day long.

In short; SNW is their worst.

HITE is a great song, my snw top 3 is: rapture, hite and combat.

Beware's album version sucks balls, but it sounded so good back when it's demo was on myspace, that was a good song.

ratsratsrats is an annoying piece of shit.

Wow, now I understand whats going on here.  WGTB is the #1 song on this survey.  Most of you are saying you like ST as either your 1st or 2nd deftones album.  And too fucking many people are saying they like HITE.  So pretty much most of you are kids who still think NU Metal is cool and just need to grow up a bit.  Now I understand why someone in another thread was talking about how they got slammed for saying linkin park sucked.  I like some of you a lot better when I don't know how bad your taste in music is.  I think im going to stop coming into this forum.

OK, now you're getting a little too far out there for me. How is HITE "nu metal"? Shitty video aside, it's a great song. Allmusic.com hits the nail on the head:

"Check the opener — and single — "Hole in the Earth." It begins with a wall of feedback and thunderously distorted guitars accented by rim shots and cymbal fire before giving way to a skeletal six-string figure that seems barely able to support Moreno's singing, which combines the euphoria of a young, less pretentious Bono with the attack of, well, the Deftones. Guitars echo and whisper all along the backdrop while Moreno hovers there, until they crackle and spit to bring him back."

So, you hate WGTB and HITE but like Pink Cellphone and Ratsx3?  I like Ratsx3 too, but as heavy songs go, WGTB puts it to shame. Lyrically better (come on, how do you NOT love the lyrics to WGTB?) and has the dark, brutal and haunting Deftones sound that Ratsx3 is missing. And I'll take EVERY song in Deftones catalogue over Pink Cellphone. EVERY LAST ONE! That's not even a Deftones song. To me, it's a stupid little beat Chino made on garage band. Then, to make it really KICK, he added Annie Hardy rambling on about anal sex. At least ALL of the members of Deftones wrote WGTB and HITE.

Variable, it seems that you listened to S/T in 03 and were so disappointed you never really gave it a fair shake again. Understandable. But, it is a good album. I'm glad you're at least giving it another shot.

And lay off the crack, too.

glad to see all the love for hole in the earth. very very good song. heartfelt and unique. chino's vocals are amazing on it.

and i completely agree with cyppe's statement of rats, i've said it to a few people on this board, the song is completely forced. i felt this exact same way about  elite, but i ultimately grew to love the song.

uh, hey buddy.  Hows it going?  when the fuck did I say I liked rats rats rats?  Go ahead and read back over all of my post and put your foot in your mouth there.  I hate that song.  It sucks just as bad as WGTB.  This is another song that I heard chino himself talk shit about.  Ill try to find this interview too.  But in essence he said that the only reason they even made Rats Rats Rats was because they knew that if they didn't all their little Nu Metal fans would get all pissy.  Pretty much they made it because maverick wanted them to.  To me, that's what almost every song on ST is.  They knew they had to put out something.  so they just threw some shit together and made it an album.

And pink cell phone?  I dont think I said anything about loving that song either.  I dont hate it.  I take it for what it is.  its just a stupid and fun song that chino made.  Chino is weird like that.  Kind of like black moon and shit. Kind of like teenager and lucky you.  They whole band wasn't apart of all those songs.  But its just something they liked so they threw it on their album.  They probably weren't expecting to change anyones lives or win a Grammy with them.  Just maybe something chill to listen to when you're high.

and it sounds like someone at allmusic.com is on mavericks payroll.  Because HITE sucks.  That's really all there is too it.  Its just a bad song.

Kind of like teenager and lucky you.  They whole band wasn't apart of all those songs.  But its just something they liked so they threw it on their album.  They probably weren't expecting to change anyones lives or win a Grammy with them.  Just maybe something chill to listen to when you're high.

and it sounds like someone at allmusic.com is on mavericks payroll.  Because HITE sucks.  That's really all there is too it.  Its just a bad song. 

Ok, I misread your post on Rats. My mistake. But the fact that you like Pink Cellphone over WGTB, one of the best heavy songs they've ever done, is downright laughable.  Not to mention countless other great songs they've done. And then you have the nerve to tell us we have bad taste in music? LMAO.

And saying a song sucks because "well, it does. that's all there is to it" is kind of a cop-out. Come on, tell us why the songs suck and I'll give you reasons why they don't suck. And try to do it without throwing around the term "nu-metal" either.

Ok, right now, I'll tell you why WGTB is great song:

1. Stephen Riffs: That DEVASTATING chorus riff. You write something like that, Variable. Go ahead.

2. Lyrics: "Somethings wrong with you, I hope we never do meet again", "Yeah, if you like that we can ride on a black horse/A great new wave hesperian death horse" "l will call back/I forget where the phone is at/I'll talk to you when I get back/Yeah, when I get back I will talk". Brilliance!

3. The bridge: All about Frank's awesome haunted house synths and disconnecting phone sounds over Steph's moody, Pink Maggit-esque riff while Chino screams bloody murder.

And, please, no one come in here and say "oh my god you guys are so opinionated why do you care what other people think?". This is the one of the reasons to have a message board. To discuss, debate and argue opinions.

Post by: Variable on Aug 26, 2008, 12:39 PM
Yeah apparently you just cant stop misreading.  Do you not get the point of what im saying about pink cellphone?  I don't like love the song.  I don't even listen to it when I listen to SNW.  Its just a stupid little fun song that chino made and put on the album because hes a fucking crack head.  I don't take it seriously.  That's my point.  Its not a serious song, so I don't even compare it to WGTB.  Because WGTB was supposed to be a good song, and it isn't.  Get the difference?

And I cant help it that deftones started out as a nu metal band.  Sorry, just accept it.  True they tried to run very far away from that genera.  But they still end up embracing it in one or two songs on every album just to try and keep the fan base that is only interesting in such music.  Sorry bud, just accept it.

And those lyrics?  Lol, they are really not that brilliant man.  Deftones are my favorite band and everything.  But I have never thought chino had brilliant lyrical skills.  There are so many other bands with such better lyrics that singing about Hesperian death horses.  Maybe start with the doors? John Lennon? Shit STP or NIN would be an improvement.

And if you are just interested in hard music.  Deftones have so much better options.  Maybe start with both adrenaline and ATF.  Try Headup first.  It's a good one.

But yeah, call me a cop out on answers.  But I really don't feel like putting so much effort into talking about a shitty song.  I cant believe I even typed this much already.

I never said you loved PCP. But you do think it's a fun song, yet you find WGTB (and most of S/T) to be shit. So that proves you do love PCP. The drug PCP, that is. You've been smoking alot of it. Regardless of what their intentions were when writing these songs (silly electronica song vs mindblowing bruiser), you favor one over the other.

And, yes, Adrenaline and ATF have tons of great heavy songs. I never said WGTB was the best. I said it was one of the best. But, amazingly enough, some of those, like Headup, are the DEFINITION of nu-metal era Tones (great, now I'm throwing it around). I just find it funny that you big up their nu-metal era, and then lambast S/T for trying to sound too nu-metal.

Post by: Variable on Aug 26, 2008, 01:24 PM
Im going to help you out here man.  Im going to share a part of thousands of years of wisdom that had to be accumulated in order to define what we consider logic and reason.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent) its called affirming the consequent.  Just because the conclusion of an argument is one thing, it does not make the premise of the argument the same thing.  No, I don't like WGTB.  Yes, I can tolerate PCP.  No, I don't like ST.  Yes, I do like SNW.  But that doesn't mean that I think PCP is better than WGTB.  And it doesn't mean that I think every song on SNW is better than every song on ST.  

If I was in a music appreciation class and someone asked me to compare WGTB and PCP.  I would give the award to WGTB.  It's a better song by definition.  But that doesn't make it good.  WGTB was supposed to be taken seriously.  Supposed to be a good metal song.  So compare it to other serious and good metal songs that Deftones have put out, and suddenly its crap.  Pink Cell phone is just chino being stoned and wanting something simple and stupid to listen to and sing to.  Not meant to be metal, not meant to be taken very seriously.  I chalk that one up right next to chinos drunk ass singing "sexy back". Therefore in reality, its completely illogical to say I like PCP better than WGTB.

I hope this was an educational experience for you.

Post by: Inkblades on Aug 26, 2008, 02:14 PM
Ah, the semantics game. I honestly believe that "affirming the consequent" doesn't apply in this situation (ROFL are we even talking about Deftones anymore?!?!?!). To me, liking one thing more than another thing is the same as thinking the former is better than the latter. Don't they fundamentally relate in some kind of way? Where's the difference? You're right about WGTB and PCP being an unfair comparison, but comparing SNW and S/T is different. Because when they made both albums, their intentions were to make the best albums possible. Chino wasn't approaching ALL of SNW going "hey, this will be a stupid little fun album". So, liking SNW over S/T is the same as thinking SNW is better than S/T.

We know they went through turmoil writing both S/T and SNW. However, I feel like they were one component while writing S/T. There is video footage of them all hanging out and writing the music together. Can you say the same for SNW? S/T had one producer. That's why it sounds like a cohesive record. SNW didn't. That's why the production is all over the place.

Also, I never said Chino was the greatest lyricist of all time. No one said he had better lyrics than Lennon or Morrison. That doesn't mean his lyrics aren't often brilliant, though. Time magazine did call his lyricism "furiously intelligent". Does Maverick have stock in Time magazine too, just like allmusic.com?

Oh, and did you know that Stef wrote most of S/T? Why you hating on Stef like dat? J/K.

I never stay on topic

And yes.  I like SNW better than ST.  But my point was that just because I like SNW better than ST does not mean that I like every single song on SNW better than every single song on ST. 

Yes, chino is a douche bag these days

The production on SNW might not have been the quality a lot of people are used to.  But its what the band wanted

And yes, maverick owned stock in Time Magazine.  Madonna and Obama are planning on taking over the world in one giant civil rights movement of death.  Or didn't you know?

And im hating on stef because he was fat before chino was fat.

when i first heard crenshaw it was in 1998 and it was called "crenshaw's punch".It was named "around the fur outtake" at the page i downloaded it from. it had a lot of screams too and was better than the one ending up at the change single.so its an early song, more early than the white pony era. regardless..- its _not_ from the s/t time,... thats stupid. nearly as stupid as my english
