Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[anguria]

i was thinking today....you know that 'woo' chino does after the chorus on rocket skates, after watching the video, i think he only does it so he can inhale sharpely and lubricate his throat to recover from the screams so he's ready to sing the more melodic verses. other than that, it really isn't about 'woo's' in deftones. needless to say it was a slow news day in my brain today.

I really dig that "woo" !

[sing blue silver]

Ah well, its easily as good as the official cover.

sharinglungs fake.

i think i'd like it if it wasn't for hole in the earth

On the record, there are no inhaling " Whoo ! ". There are " Hey !!! ". Never heard Chino doing that live, though. Don't like the " Whoo " he does live on Hole In The Earth either.

[wheresmysnare]

think i must be thinking of the live hole in the earth then yeah. anyway was just a bs theory based on the video of rocket skates.

i like HITE, especially the guitars. it seems like one of their more technical songs guitar wise. i listened to snw for the first time last night in maybe over a year, and i really enjoyed it. rapture is awesome. cherry waves, xerces, uudd, combat, kimdrac, riviere. all reaally good. i like all of it, even mein and pcp, but her rant is uncool and just vile. i dunno why some of you hate it so much, it's pretty darn good. s/t and snw aren't enemies, you can like both. i know i do. those 2 are deftones worst, but damn they're still very solid album. DE is better than both though. my best friend even listened to it cause his brother hyped it up so much, and he told me he thought it was awesome. he never really listened to snw or s/t. he was really on board for the first 3 albums, and now DE. people are diggin this album, coming out of the woodwork

tidbit: they DID use protools for DE

and yea, i hear "HEY" in hite, not "woo". Chino just feeling the groove like tool "I SAID people tell me what to say"

[Sushi-X]

The intro sound effect on HITE reminds me of the intro of '100%' by sonic youth

hearing him do that just makes me think he's channeling his inner hr

+1 for thinking, today 

[fetisher]

Lubricating his throat with air.  Hmmm...

[wheresmysnare]

if you scream that hard generally a lot of the shit that was once in your throat will now be in your mouth. If he then breathes in sharpely by doing that inhaling whoo thing and brings said shit back down his throat the theory might work. I never expected to go to such lenghts expalining something that was based on 90% bull shit.

[fetisher]

Or he could just swallow?

This theory deserves more attention. 

Does Chino inhale?  Or does he swallow?

he looks like he swallows, i'll go with swallows.

[Jerry_Curls]

One thing I haven't seen mentioned or questioned; Does Chino play any guitars on this album?

[Vesanic]

Of course he does. 

[Sushi-X]

I don't think he does

[Vesanic]

I don't think he does

I hear two guitars on Royal ( for example )

[Sushi-X]

Really. Guess I gotta listen to it more carefully 

[Sushi-X]

Yeah your right. I hear the other guitar at around 2:19. I could be wrong though.

[Jacob]

pretty sure there are two guitars on Beauty School too. doesn't necessarily mean Chino plays on it, but to be honest the lead guitar sounds more like Chino's style than Stef's.
