i'm thinking the 1 nod to Chi on the album is 976

I think the entire album, in one way or another, is about Chi.

Its almost like the boys wanted to make something for Chi to listen to while in the coma. At least I get that feeling when I listen to it.

Almost like Chino is saying get your ass up buddy "Time will see us realign", "follow me into another realm", "I will save your life", etc etc. The entire album is this way. Like Chino is just chillin in Chi's dreams talking to him.

Ha, funny cuz Im almost positive you're a kid with no friends.

This is the feeling I get when I listen to it. I dont give a rats ass what Chino has said in interviews this is how the album sounds.

PS-Chi will be up in no time

Well, I haven't posted on this site in years, probably since SNW came out.  But anyway, fucking phenomenal return to form with Diamond Eyes.  Love the whole thing, way better than SNW and s/t. 

[Hidalgo]

Pretty sure he produced the vocals on Diamond Eyes.

[Wax And Wane]

when i listen to this place is death, it reminds me of blade runner.

LOVE that fuckin movie. :-) Very underrated

[Penicks]

Underrated? Gotta be kidding me.

The second one is a really good review.

[Wax And Wane]

HA! Jesus the reviews on this are amazing! Has anyone seen a bad review on the album yet? lol. I mean there has got to be one person out there on crack or something who writes reviews.  It would sure make waiting to listen to this easier if not every single review said something like "Better then white pony" Lol

The Sputnik review is really good. It is nice to see great reviews for once. Thanks for finding these.

I like how the beginning of Diamond Eyes and This Place Is Death have the same soundscapes...reminds me of how White Pony songs had similar sounds to link the album together.

Well, I guess that makes sense.

One thing we can agree on is this album is fantastic.
