SNW the new S/T

[Jacob]

They're different, but I like both albums and I don't understand all this hate for SNW. I just hate Rats!Rats!Rats! with a passion, it reminds me a LOT of Korn, and I can't stand them. Mein... Well, the video sucks as hell, but the song is not that bad, Serj's part is completely useless, anyway, it seems like it's simply pasted to a random song. I even like Pink Cellphone! By the way, I only recently realized that on my CD there is not the last part, the one about germs and... other stuff. Does anyone know why? is it a censored version or what?

yeah, a clean version and an explicit version were released. personally, while the explicit version is funny the first few times around, I much prefer the clean version.

anyway, I really seem to be in a minority when it comes to SNW: HITE is one of my favorite Deftones songs, I really like Mein (although Serj shouldn't have been in it), I find Xerces to be rather boring, I like Pink Cellphone and think it fits perfectly on the album... overall I love the record and find it so much more engaging and well-written than S/T.

[Penicks]

Yup.

Pink Cellphone is a great track. just sayin'. Lucky You on the other hand.... bleh.

stop trolling jacob

bwahahaha

so many other songs deserved to be on there over sinatra, some of the acoustic stuff, black moon, wax and wane (personal opinion)

sorry but sinatra just rubs me the wrong way. i'm not one for helmut or whatever anyway. and wax and wane is okay but i'd rather see drive, nightboat, lovers, teething, or to have and to hold on there. thats another thing. why in the fuck was THATH not on there? that pissed me off.

I guess that was because the studio cover is rather boring, while the live version is the best cover deftones ever did and they may not have any of those brilliant performances in a nice enough quality.

My problem with SNW is its not cohesive. like diamond eyes the songs flow well S/T does too. "its the same sound"

I like the first half of snw its just after mein i dont like it very much except riviere. SNW is no S/T.

WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT?  Someone I agree with about SNW and S/T on this board???

[godin]

S/T is more cohesive
SNW is more scrapped together IMO it has some good songs but it sounds like they threw it together. Even the artwork photos used old band pics

I can't say I hate this record, this is not true:
Riviere, Xerces, Beware, Rapture, Combat, Cherry Waves...
There's really good songs in SNW but I don't like the sound of this one and I don't really like the "pop" mood.

I love this record but it's just not my favorite.

[Robotsatemygrandma]

I think everyone has a different reason why they like the Deftones... angst, melody, experimental, single musician, overall sound blah blah.

In all honesty I was hyped and disappointed when S/T and SNW came out. Didn't like them all too much because I was too obsessed with Adrenaline, Around the Fur and White Pony, which to me (then) were the critical summits that made me appreciate this band.

After mania, years of heavy drug addiction, and maturity I love both of these albums just like their predecessors. Each is a chronicle to their time and achievement of art with it's contrasting beauty. I can no longer just pick one as everyone has a correlating fever that makes it special.

Back to my original statement... some people got into the Deftones during the anger fulled years, others during the White Pony era and whenever else... so each album will automatically be compared to that person's introduction or reasons for loving the Deftones.

[nineteenpeoplesnames]

Deftones Syndrome never lets me down.

I like SNW more than I did before hearing Diamond Eyes.

It's happened to me on every single album (minus Adrenaline obviously, because of no album before it)

I get how it flows now too..... never really got it before.

[fetisher]

The record feels exactly like it's recording process has been described.
