an awesome opening for the album, nice single choice

i second that, even though i havent thw whole album. and its damn funny that people compare this song to both britney spears and meshuggah. now thats dynamics for ya

no offense to who said otherwise, but if you can't hear Meshuggah in that anywhere then you must be deaf lol.

omg i dont think u get my point at all, i didnt mean it didnt sound like meshuggah, or britney for that matter. just find it funny that in one song, people can hear super heavy stuff like meshuggah in there (which is true) AND soft "britney" singing

This is cool and all..definitely better than most "rock" you would hear lately, but it's just not really Deftones at all. And yeah RS is harder and crazy sounding, but again, it's not Deftones at all.

**********I can't help but repeat that the signature guitar sound (not sure how to word it as I am not a guitar player) from the first 4 albums is completely gone for this and SNW. Seriously, play ANY song from the first 4 albums, and you have that signature Deftones guitar. What did Steph do to it that it changed so much?? This is the sound that made me love every single song from this band.

I mean even throw on Change or MX (totally random picks from YouTube):

deftones-change  Deftones - Mx

                                                                                                                                          and listen to the first few seconds.... ANY SONG AT ALL from albums 1-4:  

                                               WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THAT SOUND? ? ? ?

It's probably got something to do with Stef's extra string with each album fetish

8 string + new producer?

Just wanted to mention that the song's supposed to be 3:08 m/s. Or at least that was written on the amazon page. So it might be edited slightly or whatever. Not that it matters.

Oh the second better rip has something funny between 8 and 9 seconds like a boost of volume or something.

Thank you all for the contributions. And yes, lurkers coming out of nowhere! What the fuck is happening?
Bye!

sounds killer. thank you folks for being on top of things as usual

I mean don't get me wrong, it'll grow a little more but I will never be able to play these songs so many times and enjoy them as much as with the first 4 albums. I still love all the songs from Adrenaline - S/T as much as I did on day one believe it or not.

C'mon Steph, bring that guitar back...at least Chino's voice is still mainly the same!

i love waking up to suprises like this, i figured we'd have to wait till the 23rd

haha I know, I', just making another point that's all.

All in all its cool to hear though, glad they're not just repeating old stuff.

Thanks (if it wasn't sarcastic lol). But the last time I brought this up here when SNW came out, everybody responded to me like I was a complete idiot and asshole. I mean if you're a real fan and listen to their shit as much as I do, you would notice the loss of their signature "sound" immediately after hearing anything from SNW and on...it's so obvious and what made them unique to me.

And I think they could have kept that up without repeating old shit that was already done. That guitar sound went sooo far with those albums..every song sounded different even with that same sound. So perfect...

if they sound like they used to and always did, people would complain that they dont develop in their sound or style. if they do develop, people complain about that too. what to do

Meshuggah is Stef's favorite band. Let him honor them!

By the way, I can maybe see the argument for this song's riff but the guitar in Rocket Skates is very Deftones.

I agree when it comes to Stef's guitar sound. it's always been sort of a trademark quality of Deftones to have that unique guitar sound. I miss it, even though I think the guitars sound sick on SNW and in these two new songs. I just think it'd have sounded even better with his old typical sound.

Still looking forward to the album loads!

Yeah rocket skates is

Does anyone know if this upload is in stereo it sounds good like...

I think the different sound mainly comes from not having Terry Date on SNW and DE.. The produce and the engineers he uses have a huge affect on the final sound of the album. The use of 7 and 8 stringed guitars makes a huge difference as well.

The one thing I'm not liking and expected is the lack of that "classic" Deftones guitar sound that this and SNW both lack. All 4 of the first albums have that signature Tones guitar sound in every single song basically (I hope you know what I mean if you're a fan!). But this def is still leaving that classic sound out!

i totally understand and agree with you
i liked the song.. at least so far..

this, and "god of war 3" later. good deals
