Songs are cool as fuck. Still.

The production and sound of it have just become too stale for me....

...and now you can't listen to it at all and think it's basically a bad album.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone change their opinion, about an album, that drastically before.

I'm just baffled.

haha so we got extreme praise, and extreme bashing.i wonder - was there ever something in between? or is the wonderful thing - the extreme itself? 

u could prob ably find all of the snw haters from a while back loving it now, also.

what made this flip flop decision? tell us about that day

I've listened to their albums for quite some time and I still love this album. Fucking phenomenal and for being made in around 6 months, they pulled it off

they should have release a video for prince instead of beauty school.

a lot of people who aren't deftones fans say that song kicks ass.

Well, it does kick ass I must say...   

Diamond Eyes kick SNW ass pretty hard.

It does. I really dont understand all the Diamond Eyes hate, I mean its only here I see some people disliking it (i know opinions its ok man)
But mine, its the best album they did since White Pony. Although I dont like songs like Sextape or 976evil, others like Prince, Royal, CMND/CTRL and Rockets Skates I felt in love since first hearing them. Its not  ATF but sometimes it sounds like it, sometimes.
I also like the self titled song, despite sounding a bit popish sometimes.

Just listened to royal for the first time in awhile. The last 45 seconds of the song make want to fuck shit up. Otherworldly.

I agree with this.  It's my least favorite Deftones album, and SNW was a MILLION times better.. but I still like it as a record.  But Risk, Royal, and Rocket Skates are pretty much the only songs from DE that ever get played on my itunes

976 is really underrated, IMO.

976 is awesome, since the first listen of DE it has been one of my favorite songs. I like when Chino sings in songs like this and the whole feel of the song is enjoyable to me. I still don't know why Diamond Eyes gets the hate it does around this site. Behind Around the Fur, S/T, and White Pony, it is probably their best album. Not hating on the others, just a solid band with a solid body of work. Can't wait to hear what 2012 brings.

There's a very dreamy quality to 976 that I absolutely love.

I really dont like that song.

Its like a lullaby that puts me to sleep....zzzzzzzz....

I decided to give Diamond Eyes a spin today (actually right now). It really isn't that bad, doesn't deserve the flack it got on it's release. My initial thoughts of it's hidden romantic and dark clouds really become apparent with the first half. I do hear the "band on auto pilot", but I also hear why we love these guys. I still think Frank dropped the ball on Rocket Skates though. lol

It still, in my opinion, cannot hold a candle to some of their other albums (more specifically SNW, ATF, and WP). Although I may actually like it better then Self Titled collectively. But in fair arguement S/T has moments that stand out better then Diamond Eyes.

Uh oh!



Even though I think the singing and some of the songwriting has really matured and set a status quo.

Thought I'd post this here. SO, the last unheard diamond eyes song is called Coby (working title) and abe cracks a joke about it being played. Care of verify if this was indeed played before?
