Ok 12 times through the album now:

Royal
Prince
Sextape
You Have Seen the Butcher
Rocket Skates
CMND/CTRL
Risk
Diamond Eyes
Beauty School
This Place is Death
976-EVIL

[E-Money]

I have to say its by far their best album.  I love all of their other ones but Diamond Eyes blows them out of the water.  I was listening to SNW a little yesterday and really noticed how bad that album really is.  I shouldn't say its bad because I still love it, but not even close to their best work.  I never thought DE would beat out WP for me but it definitely has... and how can u guys list sextape as your least favorite?  thats fucking insane.  Thats song melts my heart every time it hear it.  

and my favorites, even thought they are changing daily...

1. 976-Evil
2. Beauty School
3. Sextape
4. Royal
5. You've seen the butcher
6. Prince
7. Diamond Eyes
8. This Place is Death
9. Risk
10. CMND/CTRL
11. Rocket Skates

[Starz]

Royal then straight into CMND/CTRL is just pure heaven. Best songs on the album for me.

WTF, wither-I.

Beauty School and Sextape least favorite?

[fsm]

Ok. I had my time with DE as well...

Damn, it is good. Very, very good.

Tracks 1-6 are pure genius and any one of them can easily become my favorite Deftones song ever. As for now - it keeps changing (with Prince and You've Seen the Butcher currently at the top). Rocket Skates and the final four tracks are not as good, but still pretty awesome. I love the way music changes when you listen to it on the headphones. All those little details... Tasty

Deftones album chart (if we're doing it):

WP / DE

Diamond Eyes
White Pony
Self-titled
Around the Fur
Saturday Night Wrist

you aren't the first to put DE at the top. is this getting to be the consensus here? that Diamond Eyes is better than White Pony?

[theis]

I gotta say that Diamond Eyes is growing to be my favorite Deftones record too. I think it's perfect.

[wither-I]

WTF, wither-I.

Beauty School and Sextape least favorite?

i dont know, i just dont like those songs. too sing-along-y


the whole album is pretty catchy but still some good tunes

[Inkblades]

I actually flat-out dislike the "One more TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME" part on Sextape. Doesn't do it for me.

You've seen the butcher is the killer. Stef is BIG with 8-strings guitar and Frank done good job.
Prince is awesome. I Really like this album. After not bad SNW this one is the DEFTONES!

I hate how lots of people are saying " Diamond Eyes is better than White Pony " just to prove that, contrarily to what lots of people said, White Pony is not that good.


White Pony is my favorite album ever, but even if it weren't, I would have noticed that. I just find it ridiculous.

[Inkblades]

I think we are all on a high from this album. Let's see what we are saying in a couple months. I think we'll still agree that it's utterly excellent but will we still think it's the best? The key is to keep in account the other excellent albums (and there's a lot of them) that make up their discography.

And again, i'm so with you. It just needs so much time to say "it's better than", and even more time to say "it's better than White Pony", because for me it's not just the music, it's also a matter of memories you have with an album (y'know, to rate an album over another). I do understand the excitement, but you guys have to calm down.

[Sushi-X]

Yeah can't wait for the hate this album will get if eros turns out to be heavy. Or if the next album is considered way better than DE. 

[Inkblades]

One thing is for damn sure, though. It blows SNW out of the fucking water.
