Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[Hidalgo]

I disliked S/t for so long because it was such a huge disapointment to me after white pony. I thought tons of things were missing to make it an epic album like WP. The songs seemed unfinished and thrown together with no cohesiveness. Now i like it with more perspective, but it is still one of my least favorite from them.

but a least favorite deftones album is better than most bands could ever hope for.

and i always disliked moana, for i don't know why, im sorry moana lovers.

i feel the same, it was a major letdown. writers block? Chino's melodies and ideas just weren't top notch for him. he seemed a bit offkey at times too. his worst vocals on an album, sound and melody wise. good lyrics though, as usual. songs seem unfinished, uninspired, lazy, lack of enough tempo changes, hexagran has 2 riffs. seems like a bsides album. it was still my fav album of the year. it's good.their worst,kills what most bands could make at their best

i felt the same about white pony, it was a major letdown from around the fur. then s/t came out and everything was good again.

I also think Battle-Axe is their greatest song, ever.

not the best, but one of the best so far

their best songs are
1- digital bath
2- bqad
3- change/myown

It's my favourite, and self-titled is my favourite album.
My top 3 songs are on that album:
1. Battle Axe
2. Hexagram
3. Deathblow

i don't think any song from S/T is even in my top 10 deftones song, maybe not even top 20. all fine tunes though

what the hell is with that cat? haha

lovers might be my fav song from that era and they left it off. wtf

[sing blue silver]

man ST rocks my face off.

[Starz]

I gave S/T a spin last night and I dunno...I think I prefer S/T still to Diamond Eyes

[TheQuietDoom46]

man ST rocks my face off.

indeed. Personally my favorite album.

[Hidalgo]

twilight zone, it's like all the S/T diehards on earth all came here, and only here. it's widely considered their worst album by the rest of the planet, and the band themselves. i never heard anyone outside this board say it's their best. i like it, but i find it bizzare you all think the same. join us.... join us... join us

For a second there I thought I was on a thread about the S/T album. lol.    I like S/T but it's for sure not my fave. It's Stephs album and I know I've read interviews where Chino said he wasn't that happy with it. But still... Better then 99% of albums ever made so it's still fucking awesome

[Hidalgo]

yea i wish we could get back to DE discussion

[Wax And Wane]

So... I haven't listened to D/E yet. I'm holding out. But which of the Tones past album do you think it sounds the most like? (I mean I'm sure it's totally different.) But if you HAD to choose? 

[Vesanic]

what the hell is with that cat? haha

It means I'm surprised, to say the least.

[yeah]

Chinos voice sounds so different from the linus days.  Gift / Guest is my favorite from the demos his voice is pretty magical on that one.
Chi's intro bass line gets me everytime.
But seriously if you listen to  those demos and then listen to diamond eyes now way you would think it was the same band.

And when chinos on its nothing short of amazing.

Gift / Guest - it's the same song with the alternate name or two different songs?

[Hidalgo]

WP if had had to compair it. the boy's republic kinda vibe on some tracks. but it's pretty different, mainly Chino bringing so many fresh melodies, and his vocals my be the best on any album. he really brings it
