Smoking a bowl. About to listen to Diamond Eyes for the first time. Super stoked.

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

Yep yep, it's probably not much, but it'd be good to know what the other 13 seconds are :p

What the fuck is it with all the great bands turning to poppy choruses to fit in with fucking Lost Prophets and shit?

go away

You've heard Deathblow. This band can come up with pretty, intricate melodies without having to resort to accessibility.

im guessing the intro.  there might be a couple of seconds of silence before the song starts or maybe a little electron intro that we didn't get to hear from the radio rip??

there's nothing wrong with accessibility if the song is good. this song is good

The song has a sick groove. That ending is ridiculous. This album is going to sound sick in the summer with the windows rolled down and the volume cranked

please listen to the last minute of the song and come back to me and tell me its poppy.  are u kidding me dude?  just because the song has a melodic chorus does not mean the deftones have turned into Lost Prophets.  cmon man.... and have u not heard Rocket Skates? rx queen or street carp sound much more "poppy" to me and those songs aren't pop.  I personally think the breakdown is too heavy for radio play.  

the chorus isn't far from minerva or APC choruses, it's reall good. don't worry, this won't get much airplay, it's not crap so they won't play it

Okay, this is what I thought after listening to the 30 second clip;

Diamond Eyes is purely grounded in the now from what I heard. It just doesn't have that timeless deftones vibe/sound. Hey, if you are a big Tool fan you gotta be loving it! Deftones pave the way and do thier own thing and have thier own sound. I just don't hear it in this. SNW material sounds way stronger than DE.

Gotta say, the whole track did not change my opinion.

Pluses are the rocking guitar, frank's work and the break with the yelps and coffin lyric.

Minuses are the SHITTY chorus that sounds nothing like chino and way to much like every shit band on the radio. Ruins the song for me.

Oh, and to all you fucked who told me song length does not matter... FUCK OFF! You can't tell me an extra minute would not have helped this song a SHITLOAD! As it is it sounds way too jammed together with no payoff. Don't you guys know it is better to spend a little time in the pussy rather than blowing your load as soon as your dick touches it?

Oh well they are 1 for 2 with me so far... I got a feeling this a track made for the label. I give them the benefit of the doubt. Put a radio track out, they deserve some airplay and sales. Just make the rest of the record for your fans.

that was vulgar

this song wasnt made for the fan ? come on, go away. YOu don'T like it yeah right cool, many fans are loving it, you are not the definition of deftones fans. I dont care if you hate it with a passion, i hate the song Rickets, i don't think you care. Deftones never make songs for the radio or the disk company exception of Back to school.

I do, it think it's repetitive, too long and the lyrics are dumb. I like the heavy deftones song, but i prefer the more epic songs like fireal, bqad, change, digital bath, battle axe, death blow etc. So Diamond Eyes is more my type. Lotion is another song i don't really care about, i'm not skipping it, i only kinda like it when i'm pissed off. I'd prefer Crenshaw over those 2 songs. Doesn't mean i'm not a real fan of the band.

rickets is cool, but it used to drive me NUTS in 1998 during a really bad breakup with the love of my life. hearing that phone sound on the song would send me running to get the phone, but it wasn't ringing, then i'd go back and it really would ring, which would confuse me, repeat process all while being extremely pissed and overwhelmed with heartache. good times

Haha love that phone sound in it. Always gets me.

its funny how i just called rickets, probable the shortest deftones song ever....too long...i dislike it just like that lol

I personally see Diamond Eyes as an opener...an intro if you will.  Almost an "explanation" if you will of what's to come.  A short prose Chino uses to set up the album for what will sure to be one of the most replayable albums they've put it.  I think the length is perfect.

Plus, I'm REALLY hoping that what we've heard was the "radio edit" and that during the mid-song breakdown, and ending is laden with Chino's visceral screams.  It seems like his 2 little screams in the middle are almost an isolated section that were originally a part of more screaming.  Perhaps it was full of explatives, thus making it not "radio friendly".  Anyone else agree?

amazon clocks the album version of the song at 3:08 so i doubt it.

I will say this:  That chorus sticks in your head like nobody's business.
