Yea I mentioned the tuning of his guitar being one too many maybe next record he will hit the nail on the head... I mean how many more strings does he want to have??? He cant go on much more.... which brings up the question how long do you think 'tones will last (horrible I know)

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...

I agree with this.

the chorus is great - reminds me of incubus classics.

Thanks for the agreements guys..at least some fans know what the hell I'm talking about lol. I miss ma band!

Awesome song. Stoked for the album.

damn, the last 20 seconds really sound like britney spears. don't know if i can take it.

then change your fuckin old taste music you little old head, BE FUTURISTIC (and a little bit dynamic)

anyone attend to the back vocals (which makes the song interesting and soft) ?

Anyone get the blog version?

i really like the chorus. catchy is fine as long as it's good, and this is an excellent tune

Incubus has classic songs really? LOL

Ok Here is my take on this song, is too repetitive, lacks the energy of opening songs such as Hexagram,MOS and Bored. The chorus is whiny and horrible.
Musically sounds pretty good especially the ending. I Hope I dont get flame now.

I'm from the school of thought that if I want to hear their old sound, I'll go listen to their old albums.  One of the hallmarks of the tones has always been moving on and trying new things.  Personally, I'm digging Diamond Eyes waaaaaaaay more than Rocket Skates, but both songs are cool.  It's early to make an assumption like this, after just two songs, but I think this might be the album that should have come after S/T.  If that turns out to be the case I'll be a very happy man.  To my ear, there's a real S/T feel to the riffage (albeit, ten times heavier) but with more of that dreamier WP quality on top of it.  

Put another way, I think this album could be the evolution of White Pony in the same way that S/T was the evolution of ATF, like two matched sets.

i think you were expecting something like Hexagram or WGTB after reading that Metalhummer review..
the songs chorous part is proper for the concept...i donno why didnt you like it, lyrics are good, soundscapes are okay, melody is cool, yeah its soft but thats the point of the song..

sing it, you ll like it

"the needle breaks" line sorta reminds me of Daryl Palumbo :]

to me ;

Rocket Skates = Another ATF song with 2010 style of Deftones
Diamond Eyes = Another WP song with 2010 style of Deftones

I think both singles are equally outstanding. Sounds like an amazing record.

i totally predicted this would happen, how about some credit?.
