Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[Subliminal]

Holy shit I love this album, so fuckin' much!

[Moz]

holy shit suddenly you've seen the butcher is my favourite. wtf.

[rock_n_frost]

yeah i know..
but its not a even real high voice (1:18 to 20 and 1:00 to 02 )..i dont hear any squeal on his voice..its kinda he's faking us

This is called the falsetto.

okay, am i right or not ?

[TheQuietDoom46]

Holy shit I love this album, so fuckin' much!

its fucking fantastic.

[Jacob]

A little pissed off. I guess WB pulled all the leak links quick fast and in a fucking hurry.  I've already payed for the goddamn album and they mopped up all the links before I could get to them. Fuckers. Any chance they'll release anything else to those of us who have already purchased the album? And i mean more than that piss poor remix of rocket skates

yeah, poor you for not being able to use the internet properly.

besides, it's not your right in any way to be able to download the leak before the album comes out, or get any other bonuses just because you've already ordered it. find something else to cry about.

right, I can't use the internet properly because I'm not as adept at being some pre-pubescent pimply faced drain or some Starbucks employed idiot that steals their entertainment because I don't have an education or real job. Not exactly a logics major were you? But hey, at least your king of the interwebz! Idiot

getting the leak isn't really a challenge, that's all I'm saying.

and you're not making a good first impression there, buddy. 2 posts and 2 strikes. a third and you're out.

[Moz]

finally this place is death is growing on me. took me 20 listens or something.

[decapod]

Song is TITS!

You are right. I totally miss Chino's powerful and real high notes. That was some sick skills.

[rock_n_frost]

actually he used that voice at cherry waves ''suuuuuuuck'' part

[Hidalgo]

ahhh cherry waves, such a fine track. snw really does have some of their best songs. riviere, kimdracula, combat, cherry waves, xerces. snw is solid, only mein and pcp are letdowns really. that said DE murders both snw and st combined. they decided not to half ass it anymore, get out from underneath that dark cloud, and stop making just good albums(st & snw) and get back to GREAT albums

[Subliminal]

holy shit suddenly you've seen the butcher is my favourite. wtf.

Ditto. I can't get that bit where he goes ''I wanna 'fingymajig'..'' BHUM BHUM, TABHUM BHUM, CHUGGADACHUG BHUM BHUM, BHUM BHUM out of my head haha

The combination of Abe's sick snare and Stephs ball shakingly low tuning, it just fuckin HITS man. I can imagine it'd be an amazing live track.

but when chino yells "Come Wake" in 976, it sends chills down my spine.  GOD DAMN he throws it down hard on this album.  

i dont like chinos vocal effort on high notes in 976..i expect ''digital bath high notes'' at some parts  

Funny thing is, those 'high notes' in Digital Bath, are his falsetto, just like the one in Cherry Waves where he goes 'Suuuuuuck' and the same with 976 'So I geeeeeeeeeeeeeeet'

So really, it's the same thing, just a bit lower. He can still do the Digital Bath highs man, anyone who knows how to sing in falsetto pretty much can. It's so much easier than belting highs.

[Hidalgo]

yes, the odd rhythm "bu'duh duh de duh chun dun" is freakin killer. i see why he mentions it in that interview that they never did anything like it before. nylons and suspenders

his voice is finally starting to recover from the MAJOR DAMAGE he did to it like 9 years ago

Totally man.

I've never heard anything like it, not even Meshuggah has done something like that. Which is why I'm so in love with this album, a lot of fresh stuff going on. I love how him and Abe have locked on to the odd time signatures, it completely throws you off for about 100 listens, then you catch on.

It's just that bit where Chino wails and then he has a backing vocal that rises in tone slowly, along with it. It's just fuckin' awesome..

Also taking note of how damn healthy he looks now. It's scary, he looks like Chino from the end of ATF/beginning of White Pony days!

[nineteenpeoplesnames]

I tell ya, the chorus to I've seen the butcher is Death from above 1979!

[976-EVIL]

Agreed. I cannot help but feel that we are at the beginning of the "Golden Age" of Deftones not the "Golden Years".

There is no doubt in my mind that Chi's situation has given the band renewed focus on their own futures and their art.

[dictatesofreason]

true that man, i just wish chi wud get better and throw in his talent , not that im puttin down sergio, his work is excellent on the album

[kleptoned]

the more i listen the more i realize that is quite possibly there best work..i cant stress that enough.might be just me but its my fav...

Diamond Eyes
Adrenaline
Around The Fur
White Pony
Deftones
Saturday Night Wrist...

lol, so let me get this straight, you're threatening to ban me from an internet forum (lol) because I posted an initial frustration due to the fact that while having actually paid for the album I can't listen to it while others who have stolen it can, got a shitty response from a moderator whom I guess was trying to sound witty and i don't know......maybe.....defensive? by getting on soapbox about how WB "doesn't owe us anything," which of course had absolutely jack shit zero to do with what I had said. If you can actually follow that line of reasoning, then you're the only one and I envy you living in your own little world where you can weave together completely nonsensical, non-sequitur threads of bullshit and somehow feel empowered by it.  Wow.  IN any case, I did find it, and have since downloaded due to a helpful person on another board. So there ya go tough guy, push that manly man ban button, lol, like anyone gives a fuck. Have a nice day.

[Sushi-X]

Honestly doesn't anyone know how to use google? This guy had get from another person on another board. Epic fail.

[dictatesofreason]

ehh..wel both sides of the argument have good points but im neutral


anyways..........
