Corleone

The initial effect of the album is gone from me, I only really like Royal, Cmd/cntrl  YSTB and Prince.

Definately wouldnt rank it above WP or ATF.

sing blue silver

i still love them all after many many listens. only one that doesn't really do it for me is sextape.

deftjess

Still love DE as much when i first listen to it.

Always plays the whole album


Hidalgo

i've still only listened to it 4 times, so i can't rank it yet. but it looks like top 3 for sure. how high it can rank is yet to be decided

Vesanic

My ranking ( don't know if I already posted it ):


White Pony
Deftones
Around the Fur
Adrenaline
Diamond Eyes
Saturday Night Wrist


Love the record, but ain't good enough to be in my top 3.

neutron liar

let down by this album.  even the tracks I like are only sub par.

Royal
Rocket Skates
You've Seen The Butcher

and one more I can't remember are my tracks...the rest is boring.  I like the M83 remix...


Vesanic

Prince is definitely an S/T song.

I know it's your opinion and all but how in the fuck do you not like Risk, Beauty School, 976-EVIL and TPID?

Royal? Subpar? DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.

i'm going to leave Diamond Eyes out for now but it's looking like it's a shoe in for second or third place. nothing can replace around the fur because of the memories with that album and it obviously being their best and most energetic, exciting and inspired record. most people get that feeling from white pony but around the fur does it for me every time, every song.

now for the Diamond Eyes

1. Beauty School
1.5. Prince
2. Royal
3. CMND/CTRL
4. Rocket Skates
5. 976-EVIL
6. Risk
7. TPID
8. YSTB
9. Diamond Eyes
10. Sextape

I get a s/t feel from 'this place is dead'

WP vibe during the verses; S/T vibe during the rest.

i'm always half expecting the RX Queen lyrics to come in. feels like RX Queen 2.0 but it's still a fucking jam and a half and the chorus', i agree are very S/T sounding but that's how i likes it.

prince or anything on DE doesn't remind me of S/T at all, thankfully

and everyone is making the prince rx queen comparison, and i don't hear it, the verse is different enough to not make me think rx queen, and the rest is way different. 2 totally different songs really

Definitley. He obviously must become self-titleized. He must join the collective.

Seriously, though, I thought I was the only one who really dug s/t until I came here. I was suprised at the love.

I agree with prince having the street carp vibe, although it is a much better song as a whole. I think everybody gets that impression from the bass riff.
