I don't know about y'all, but now that I think about it, I"m kinda bummed now that by the time the album comes out, we're already going to have heard like half the album... We've already heard countless recordings of Rosemary and Poltergeist (Roller Derby) so let's just say that equals the studio versions, plus Leathers and now Tempest... And who knows, we may even have another track or at least an official snippet of another song... so 4 or 5 songs... By the time the album comes out I'm already going to be skipping over songs because I've played these preview ones out already. And from what I hear, the rest of the tracks are probably going to be slower songs like Sex Tape and Beauty School, which I skip on DE most of the time. Just not my favorite kind of tracks.. Same with Change, BQAD, Minerva... Just most of their slow singles... (The "gay" songs...)

What do y'all think about that? Don't get me wrong, I love to hear these songs as they come, and I still feel like we have the whole record to discover, but in reality we've already heard at least a third of it!

I think you're gay.  Change, BQAD, and Minerva are some of their best songs.  Beauty School was easily the best song off of DE which itself was a great album.

The best thing about this band is their diversity of styles.  The fact that they have a little of everything going on keeps things interesting.

Deftones fans being idiots as usual.

I hope the album is going to have some energy in the last few songs unlike DE.  It really could have used some edge.

I remember them playing Diamond Eyes on Zane Lowe before it came out.

Yeah its coming

Me too.

Haha, that was funny.

But I agree, Beauty School is the best song on Diamond Eyes.

perhaps someone should tweet zanelowe asking. i don't use twitter so

How about stop assuming things.  What gives you reason to believe the rest of the songs are going to be slow like Minerva, Beauty School, Sextape, etc.?  Nothing.  That's what.  Even if the rest aren't heavy, it doesn't mean they can't be more upbeat or uptempo.

And those slow songs aren't gay.  Sextape I can see but not the rest.

Well I assume i'm going to like this album from what I've heard so far. Why do you have to be so abrasive, freak. Beauty School, really? I thought the refrain was lackluster. Prince on the other hand, that's a great song.

I'm only abrasive when people are being silly.

Concur that beauty school is the best track on DE.

Yeah beauty school is my favourite as well,love the way the drums come in over the slow riff in the intro.

Yeah the drums are good in that.  They just POP.

Chinos singing is also really on point and those little effects Frank make a sort of Erie feel,it's an awesome song to listen to when your're driving late at night with the windows down when no one else is on the road ,Come to think the Deftones have made tons of good driving songs.

Around 3:10 to 3:30 or so is the best part.  Just such a great feel it has and the song almost has a nostalgia factor to me somehow.  Maybe because it reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins in some way.

The Deftones' sounds like an old Mo town band.

today is the day! 


hopefully. 

i would've thought zane would've confirmed and be promoting if it were legit tbh.

That's exactly where Stephen drew the name from. Old Motown bands.

Yeah the name is half modern half old they used Def like the rap term and used tones from the old american band naming style. So don't stab him him with a fork he was right lol
