I'm from the school of thought that if I want to hear their old sound, I'll go listen to their old albums.

That's fair.

It's just kind of jarring, though, when you can't recognize the band in the music. If Chino weren't
singing on this, would you think it was a Deftone's song? It might as well be anyone playing it.
That's kind of a bummer.

Terry Date's influence seems bigger and bigger with each passing non-Date album.

I'm also biased, though. I hate the 8-string, 'I've run out of ideas so I'll add another string to my
guitar' bullshit. People have been writing interesting music on six-string guitars for decades. I
HATE that Stephen does this. Go back to basics, man.

well if it doesnt go out today, we can probably assume that will get some kind of worldwide premier on some uk/us radio. and what i meant by that is that at least we should be able to get a radio rip of some sort, by the end of the week.

right? '03 style.

doesnt sounds like prediction?

^All these quotes x a gazillion FTW

And how can people be telling us to change our taste in music? WTF?? Again, the sound that in no longer there is what we fell in love with in the band.

Evil.. pure evil. If you took Chino's vocals away the guitars sound brutal, even during the chorus. I dont compare. It's new.

"i will lead us through the same realm"

This album will own 2010

OK so you must think Cherry waves chorus "Would you? Would You?" part doesn't sound like deftones either?

Also fair.

I'm holding out hope that the entire album isn't going to be one big massively heavy chug-a-thon. It's cool for a few songs, but it'll get old real quick.

I don't understand people telling Diamond eyes doesnt sound like deftones. If we were talking about Pink cellphones, or teenager when it first came out, yeah ok...they were way more different than what they did before...but that song is pure deftones.

i don't understand how this chorus is that much different than, exemple, the minerva one... and how much different the riff from Rockets skate is from the one on Headup or even Engine no9. I don't get the classic deftones guitar signature thing. I even think the diamond eyes riff sound a lot like the one on When girls telephone boys. it's almost the same freakin riff lol.

i agree, Stef hasn't done anything creative or different on these 2 songs. play some melodies, or god forbid play a solo, that woul be so unexpected and different for deftones, it'd be a whole different element to explore, but he refuses. it's the elephant in the room. the stuff he does now is even less creative than he did 15-20 years ago. step it up Stef, or (can't believe i'm saying this) get to steppin

gui · Mar 16, 2010, 01:36 AM

Personally i think Steph is the weakest link of deftones, but without him the band wouldn't be deftones. He had his creativity peak when he wrote the riff for my own summer. Personally I think the self-titled was steph at his laziest. 2 riffs a song.

I still love his riffs though.

agreed, this chorus is different, but not that far from minerva, or knife prty. it's deftones for sure, but new is a good way

im still not that convinced that in the second verse the words are all embrace/all expense, i could bet for "i'll", the rest is pretty much nailed, good work yall.

this song is so hot that it makes me wanna masturbate in epic fashion

underneaththecar · Mar 16, 2010, 01:45 AM

I think he says all expands instead of expense on second verse (maybe its just me tho)..........damn maybe it is expense..time go grab my headphones

Yes, awesome. People say that the final game is way better (off course) that e3 demo. I still have to finish Heavy Rain, though.

Quote from: Vesanic on Mar 16, 2010, 12:27 AM...

thanks again, man.
And the song is awesome, I hope deftones will get all the hype.

iceache · Mar 16, 2010, 01:59 AM

i'm almost 100% positive its Diamonds Ring. Headphones reassured that assumption.

I'm not sure if he says I will take you away with me.. the way he says the word "away" doesn't sound like away at all.

Hidalgo · Mar 16, 2010, 02:20 AM

this song is awesome. we're missing like 13 secs though

TheQuietDoom46 · Mar 16, 2010, 02:22 AM

fuck its growing on me already big time. Love this song!!

E-Money · Mar 16, 2010, 02:25 AM

I can definitely see why some of you guys dont like it that much, but this is exactly the sound I've been dying to hear. Im all for the more melodic chorus. And Im finally glad to see Frank all over the place. He adds a completely different dimension.

Chino on Radio 1 NOW. They're playing Diamond Eyes now
