Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[jesusinabowlofdirt]

i just find the similarities too big to be a coincidence, when they dropped same year and all. i just dont know. but i agree the making of atf would be rather quick, perhaps quicker than everybody says ^^

[Hidalgo]

like i said, i see no similarities really. the guitars are way different and the vocals. it's just not there. come on now, listen closely to both songs again, they're quite different. now, chevelle i can see they were more than influenced by bqad on STPB

[jesusinabowlofdirt]

according to wikipedia foo fighters "The Colour and the Shape" with everlong on it was released in may 1997 so that would gave them time to rip it off. pick up an acoustic and play it, its about the same

[Hidalgo]

yea ok, but did they buy the album then, or ever? signs lead to no(0 mentions of influence, or as a fav of any member, etc), they just really liked everlong when they heard it. most likely well after atf was finished. and the fact they sound nothing alike

[jesusinabowlofdirt]

as professional muscians at that time im pretty sure deftones had full control of what was going on out there. and deftones is suppose to pave the way, take left when everyone else is moving along so its much more remarkable when a band like deftones rip someone off than when a shitty garage band like chevelle does. i mean chevelles entire excistance is based on thievery

[bodywars9000]

i'm with hidalgo on this.
sorry jesusinabowlofdirt.
but at least we can all agree that Chevelle is total bullshit.

all in good taste. i'm a deftones fan just like all you other faceless people.

I cannot, cannot fucking wait for this album. This is it. They're back on a White Pony scale.

[Sushi-X]

Let's see you say that when the entire album comes out.

the big thick sounding guitars. i thought stephan stepped up his game here. also deathblow is one of my all time favorite deftones songs and to me the album had a more lush, romantic, moving feeling to it. it just appeals to me more as a listener. to me it was like they took the soft aspects of white pony that i loved and expanded on that and gave me something i'd never heard from them before but it still had the heavy kick you in the balls stuff. the end of bloody cape is a chino highlight for me and when girls telephone boys is just good ol' heavy as fuck. i just thought the production was a bit tighter and it showed me a side of deftones i connected with even more personally. but as i said the guitar sound on that album really did it for me. hexagram is just so fucking big sounding and i loved it and still do. don't get me wrong white pony is a phenomenal album but ST just one up'd it for me. i don't really expect anyone to agree with me. i will say white pony had more variety though. around the fur is still the top of my list though.
