the album would be awesome if your gf hadn't dumped you. Thats what happens when you're drunk and stoned all week.

I love pretty much everything about this album, especially the lyrics. 
Damn, to think that if i was as touchy as this would have meant me shelving white pony is just totally crazy.  I went thru a big break up, falling out with my best friend, and waking up from a failed suicide around that time, and sure it hurt to listen to the songs that provided the soundtrack to all that bad shit plus the good shit (like the sex and the all night up listening/talking/smoking and seeing the world in a new life-changing way). 
My point here is that WP remains my fav record because it managed to get into my soul like that.  I mean how deep and special is that?  Some random sacto, ca dudes make music that totally defines what i felt at the time and i totally love the songs sounds and lyrics and feel, all without them knowing i even exist.   Sometimes it makes me sad to hear some of that album but why would it stop being good to me?  Just dont get ur reaction man.

Basically if i even breath a word of my ex's it puts me in the shit with my gf and i got 3 kids with her, so i think you'll find u fucked yourself in this situation.

Personally i think this may be another WP for me and guess wot,  i got a lot of bad shit happening again.  Worst is my bands Chi was our lead guitarist and a very special guy to me and he def aint coming bak like Chi def will.  We were on the verge of a deal 9 n a half yrs bak and WP was bigtime on the playlist bak then and even though it kills me everytime i hear bits that remind me of him, that disc will never stop spinning in my deck.  Life is more important than jerk reactions, music is more important than pain, love never dies in art, r.i.p.

More than probably, yeah.

Dude, I was right there with you... the very night I popped it in the player, boom she lays that stuff down on me... and for the whole month, just kept giving me hope that she'd come back, I even biked to her friggin' house at 1 am for her in the pouring rain just to show her my love for her... and on the pod I had DE... so for me, that hole album is her... I love it. I dig it and I need it. she's still gone but the DE album is to me just a painting of that hole month pineing for her.

I can understand where you're coming from, guy, but not with this album.  I had lost touch with their music for a few years and then SNW came out at a time when I was going through some serious shit.  Deftones music really got me through some rough times.

That was a hell of an interesting response, dude, bravo.

Well,

I just can't figure out what in the holy fuck the creator of this thread is asking us.  First, he loves the album for 2-3 weeks and makes his 'friends sit through' it 'at least more than a hundred times'.  Then his girlfriend doesn't trust him anymore, and dumps him, because he spends four days drunk/high (most girls are less than impressed by this sort of behavior, fyi) and hangs out with an ex (gee, I wonder why she doesn't trust him).  Then he says he has 'nothing but hate for the lyrics'.  Did he have nothing but hate for them during that first 2-3 weeks?  Did his breakup change his mind?  Is this the 'personal falling out' that he describes?  Now he 'refuses to listen to' the album (all of this within a 2-3 week period, mind you).  Then he asks for a 'Thumbs up/Down'.  Thumbs up/Down to what?  The lyrics?  The album?  His breakup?

I for one am throwing a big Thumbs up to his girlfriend.  Sounds like she made the best decision of her life.

Obviously i was asking about everyone's opinion on the album, and giving the story as to why i dislike it. If you didn't get that then i don't know what to tell you. As far as your comment about my girlfriend, well...that i don't appreciate but it must be coming from someone who's more perfect than I. Oh and fyi, that girl refuses to part ways with me...i wonder why...kinda awkward at times, but yet i'm glad it's not ALL over yet.Having to sit around and be "friends" with a girl you don't quite know how to be friends with is really hard.

I felt like I could relate to a lot of what this kid was saying - especially the parts about making my friends listen to it a million times and being drunk/high for a long periods of time. But, where I feel my story has the biggest contrast to the topic creator's story is that I do not have a girlfriend; instead, I had plenty of casual sex while listening to it, and subsequently, I feel obligated to say: I fucking love Diamond Eyes.

At first I didn't really dig Sextape, but then I came on a girl's tits while it played and I thought, "Yeah, this works."

Far away
