So I to listened to SNW last night since had nothing better to listen to. I know I said I like everything deftones do. yes, even the infamous Diamond Eyes. Mein is the worst song deftones of all time.. There's parts of a good song in there if they worked on it but there's mo many things wrong. embarassing. nothing comes close to this song that deserves more attention.
It's an awesome song, it's the video that's embaressing. I bet they hated doing that shit..
its very deftones, stop shitting.

Wow... Is that like your catch phrase? lol. Seen it a couple times now.... Anyway. I like Mein. Not a fan of the "Guest vocals" but the record company made them do that. lol. Otherwise I think the song is great. ABE FUCKING KILLS THAT TRACK! That's enough of a reason for me to be a fan. :-)

sounds like you dont care about Chi. Fuck outta here.
Mein is fuckin awesome. That tempo the song has is just catchy. Although I'll agree that the lyrics get repetitive and serj's part sucked.
Mein is somethin deftones have never done, lyrically its deftones but adding serj tankan to the bridge, his voice and lines alone just make this song so great as well as Frank's effects in the background. Though the video is very weird, Its one of my personal favorites. Even the instrumental demo is great
Yeah the riffage alone is awesome. It's actually a really fun song to play on guitar. Serjs parts are cool, it's so obvious he was put on the track just to get them more attention. More Label interference ::) I'm sure they would've done something way more interesting with Serj if they had the time.

did u know serj and deftones were suppose to collaborate on the "finger of death" demo accordin to Shaun Lopez but then the song got scrapped. Im so glad they picked "mein" because his vocals just suit the track especially where he comes in.
Sadly Mein is what got me into Deftones... its one of my fave songs dont know why many people hate it?? Also Abe kicks ass in this song!

Wow really? that would've been very interesting. But I must say, Chino's live vocals on that song are perfect for it! Intense and dreamy..
I absolutely love the drums on this song. And I actually think if Chino went crazy with some screams during Serj's part it would have been better or it could have sucked.
we got a turd in the punch bowl
or it would of been ok?
i understand the video concept, like rocket skates, they try to get away from typical metal or heavy music videos.. saying hey heavy doesnt automatically mean black clothes and angry faces. its not weird, its just not perfectly done.
kinda dont care for mein myself its an ok song thats all ! but it proves they can do any kinda style
I don't despise the song, but I would agree that it's one of Deftones worst.
The video makes my testes retract into globules. It's the cheesiest shit i've ever seen. Deftones jamming on top of a skyscraper is a decent concept, but whoever thought the breakdancers were a good idea should be shot in the face with a fat steamy load.
I think its their worst. I like pink cell phone more. But the video is probably 80 % why I dislike it so much
With all the hate surrounding it (and generally surrounding SNW) I expected to hate it, but I dont. I dont "like" it, I dont listen to it or anything, but I dont think it's actually bad.
I like Mein. I like SNW. I can't call anything they created "bad".
Not a big fan of this song, but what I hate with a passion is Rats!Rats!Rats! I think it's their worst song ever. Chino sings like that guy from Korn, and I never ever ever could stand them and their music. :P
I listened to it for the first in ages yesterday... the guitars are great, stylistically you can tell it's stef, which is a great attribute, most of the other things are great too, apart from the vocals, I think they are not Chino's finest to say the least. Remember he did say he did struggle to write anything for that, I think it was only when Serj got in there he got something he was happy with. Shame though, it's pretty hard to make one word out.
it's a unique tune, same thing i dig about moana. not their best stuff but i appreciate the uniqueness
snw > st
big difference though, mein sucks and moana is great. cant believe the track review of mein before the release was compared to knife prty,thats retarded.
st>>>>>>snw
nein to mein!
mein is one of the worst deftones songs.
and the video...lolz...they are not good in videos. period.

Fuck that - the mid section from 2:41-3:17 is one of my favourite parts of any Deftones song.
IMO, the heavier they get, the better they are.
yes that breakdown is rockin, rats is good stuff

dude ur sig is awesome. what's it from?
Worst Deftones song ever.
the worst part of Mein video is : chino's dancing
I'm not a huge fan of SNW...Mein is probably one of the worst on that album. Rats is good until the end after that breakdown...Abes drumming is the sloppiest I have ever heard from him (rare) and don't know how that made the album. I think most of that album is just Lazy...they were just fed up and all pissed at each other and it shows.
In the scope of things, it ain't no Pet Shop Boys song but it does have some odd moments....I have always listened to it and enjoyed it but yeah...
Chow Mein.

I'm not sure who the artist is, but I've had it on my computer forever. I think I found it while looking for Mastodon wallpapers. The full version is here (http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/6475/wizardsofnewfortune.jpg), if you're interested.

Agreed. I don't get all this hate. If anything, it's average.
its symbolic to me of the shit they were going through at the time of SNW i mean it symbolizes the tension and how it messed up their flow....it was a good album ...just stuff like mean and cellphone didnt get to the polished sheen that a deftones work has...but i love that album coz of IMHO
beware the water
cherry waves

sweet thank you
I am also pretty sure that I don't like the song much because of the video. I, seriously, cringe when I see it and I never cringe at the boys.

I really overreacted here. Drunk postiung is fun.
I haeva problem.
You know what i always thought was a weak song. Teenager. It's the weakest point on WP. Like i'm suprised there isn't a lot of hate posted towards that song.
teenager is a good tune. has a really lovely soothing lullaby floating kinda feel. very much belongs on WP
I love the Teenager that is on B-Sides and Rarities....
On another note... Mein is the only deftones song I truly despise.
Ok so if we were to take mein fittin into context. Then it's totally a good track on there. Think about it. Hite, beware, rapture, cherry waves then mein. The first four songs are all mid tempo kinda dark-ish tracks. Mein comes out with this fast tempo of fun energy.
Wait wait! If you like the idiot pilot version of teenager. I can't take your opinion as valid!

Agreed. That version is what caused Idiot Pilot to get booed off the stage when they opened for Team Sleep in Grand Rapids. Ahh, memories.

I think the same as you: I don't like this song! Teenager is useless.
And Mein...? Can we just stop talking about this fucking song? lol
the drumming is sick
I fucking love Teenager. I personally dont think there is a weak point on White Pony. Teenager is a must for me! Why dont u guys like it?
Well, I'm a girl but I don't know... I don't like the side "too sweet/too beautiful" of Teenager.
For me, this song is not Deftones.
I like it, on some level. But whenever I try listening WP completely i hit the skip button when Teenager comes up. To be honest i guess it just reminds me of a crappy moment for me. I'd prefer mein over teenager cuz , mein just has this weird energy that makes me want to go out and enjoy life.

Mein is an excellent track compared to the rest of SNW generally, IMO. Ethereal, the guitars could be a little heavier, but it's definitely one of the better ones on that album...
Lolz. Of course, I think SNW is good, being a fan, but within the overall milieu of the album, it sticks out as a good song. Uplifting, anyone?

eXACTLY! its like i pointed out earlier. you have these 4 mid tempo kinda dark ish songs that open the album and the mein just kicks in with this lively groove.
personally i enjoy mein. only song on SNW i don't enjoy is pink cellphone.
