Im curious to see how people will consider DE once Koi No Yokan is out.

Im guessing, better.

Well when you take a quick look at the votes in this thread, SNW does better than Adrenaline (which has to be an heresey for many) and DE, which I honestly dont understand.  :P

When I think about it its a shame Adrenaline's production sucks so much. I mean, its a coherent album with a lot of good songs on it  but that sound just ruins it for me. I'm sure some people find it charming and all, but I discovered the album in 2003 straight after I gave a listen to the S/T and...well, you know what I mean. Thats one of the reasons why I listen way more often to ATF than Adenaline -apart from the fact that songs on ATF are just simply better to me.

Well its better than Like Linus production. It sounds like it was recorded with 1 microphone. But DE was the first Deftones record I listened to because my last favorite band covered Change and I loved it. So I downloaded the discography loved DE, then listened to SNW, got a boner, then ATF, WP, S/T, Adrenaline, and finally B-Sides and Rarities (Not all at once). Then I bought all of cd's, and I still have a boner.

Gee

Ah ah your listening order is even weirder than mine (WP, S/T, Adrenaline, ATF, and then release order).

But at least you got the ATF, WP, S/T progression right. It seems that the 97-2003 was their creative golden age.

But to me DE was really good, and I really appreciate it because of its background. I think Its a good album in itself, but watching the tones kicking it again with enthusiasm and passion -which I think you can really feel throughout the record, with that positive vibe going- after their worst possible era, makes the album even more important and enjoyable. When it was released I was really thinking "Hell yeah, theyre back". Plus its the start of something else -with Sergio coming in, etc- really exciting. Hopefully KNY won't disapoint.

I still think they are in their golden age. I feel like KNY will be the best album out of the bunch. Rosemary and Roller Derby are both amazing. I think it made it easier for me to love SNW because I had not heard any of the early stuff. It was extremely different from what I was used to and it made me realize there was so much better music out there. I do know why people dislike DE. It was the fastest album made so I think people just dont like that. It probably would have been better if they had had more time

Diamond Eyes is just simply an amazing album to me, I had ranked WP as my favorite from them for a while but DE passed it for me a while ago...I don't know how to explain, but to me, DE is just an amazing collection of energy and positivity every time that I listen to it. There isn't really a song off of it that I don't like...I love how the first 3 tracks set the pace, I love the sultry feel of YSTB, Beauty School always puts a smile on my face...I think Prince is my least favorite but still not what I would consider anything less than a "good" song...Rocket Skates never fails to energize me....I love the last 4 tracks as well...Sextape is one of my favorite 'Tones songs, and the last three songs flow so well to me. DE is not only my favorite Deftones albums, it's my favorite album period from the last few years in music, I would say. I've listened to it a ridiculous amount of times front to back and it just never gets old.

now its around the fur, the whole album runs great together like a train, it has ups downs and before long its gone..has great opener and closer too..hmmm

I liked Snw the best(Yeah you read this correctly) , but their Self-titled is a close second. All of their albums are amazing, Diamond Eyes is probably my least favorite at the moment, but I think it just needs to age a little bit like a fine wine or something, then hopefully I'll come to appreciate it a bit more:p

I hate ranking them, because i love every single one more than life itself... but here goes nothing:

1.S/T
2.White Pony
3.ATF
4.Adrenaline
5.DE
6.SNW

Somehow I have the feeling that many people chose ATF as #1 just because Chino says it is. It's nice to see that SNW is also getting some love. Not the best album, but it' still good.

That's the album that got me into the group. BQAD was incredibly unique and powerful when I first heard it (some cool lyrics to boot) and I got the album soon after. Also Mascara is my favorite song by them, MOS has a dirty and raw feel to it, and MX is just absolutely twisted. All that and Max Cavalera appearing on Headup make this album too cool for school.

Around the Fur for me. My Own Summer was the first song I every heard. It was a real Koi No Yokan moment for me, if you know what I mean :).
