Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[BillyNo.9]

I used to think that, but there are so many good songs on the albumt hat you dont really notice at first and I'm not talking about the obvious ( Digital bath, Change..)   korea has a fucking intense breakdown. Passenger is just amazing in the creepiest ways... its a good album.
SNW is the weakest in my opinion.

Diamond Eyes took me a while to get into, but songs like CMND/CTRL, Prince, Risk, 976 evil just kick ass 

[beansandcornbread]

SNW might be my favorite.  I don't get why people think it's their weakest. 

Hole In The Earth, Rapture, Beware, Cherry Waves, Mein, Xerces, Rats! Rats! Rats!, Combat, Kimdracula, and Riviere all kick major ass.

Am I the only one who thinks this?  Even UUDDLRLRABselect,start, is bad ass when in the right mood. 

And I love Diamond Eyes as well.  Front to back.

I guess it all depnds on why you listen to Deftones. Honestl I can't give an exact reason why im obssessed with them, but I know its along the lines of  the cryptic lyrics contrasted with the heavy riffs, I can relate to it. The cryptic lyrics being multiple meanings which can cause confusion and the heavy riffs is just the pace of life.

digital bath,change, hite etcetera are ok songs i guess...
but it's when the heavy riffs combined with chinos vulnerable singing takes place the magic occurs

Diamond Eyes is just my favourite at the moment, followed by SNW.

DE has just hit a nerve.

Always thought it has some brilliant and well written songs on it, but it just doesn't flow enough for me, as an album. That's my only problem with it.... otherwise it's ace.

[cnr~]

Since getting DE i still skip through all but 2 or 3 songs, only one work to describe it; lackluster.  (IMO)

I've always found something similar in 976-EVIL and Riviere, even though Riviere is way better to me. Here's what 976-EVIL sounds like when you attach the end of Riviere to it. Of course I'm not a pro but it fits surprisingly well, I think:

[976-EVIL]

I like that! It does fit in nicely....

But honestly I cannot see how Riviere although I love the track can hold a candle to 976-EVIL.

First time I have disagreed with you V. The raw power and emotion of 976-EVIL gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

[Vesanic]

976-EVIL sure is a great track and has its own thing, but, I just can't explain it. Riviere has always been one of my favorite deftones tracks, it's not even comparable, to me. But as always, I respect your opinion.

[976-EVIL]

Still like the mix anyway.

Ahhhh if all disagreements could be handled with the class and civility that we have V...

Actually this board would be a boring place if that was the case I guess.

[Vesanic]

Actually this board would be a boring place if that was the case I guess.

That's actually why it's been so boring lately, hahahaha.

[Penicks]

riviere completely destroys 976 evil

[Vesanic]

Pretty much, yup.

[sing blue silver]

yeah i hated riviere at first but that song grew on me. it's brilliant. 976-evil is a great song but it doesn't really touch riviere. it lacks a certain something special. it doesn't really grab me or evoke too much of an emotional responce.

[TheQuietDoom46]

I love the whole album but I still can't get myself to like Beauty School. The rest of the album is a masterpiece. : ) ST will always be my favorite though. Nothing will change that.

[DEFinatelydeftones,fsho]

That's exactly where I stand. I find myself favoring ST on the Ipod shuffle when I'm surfing. Def the raddest album from Deftones. Possibly my favorite album musically just under Beastie Boy's Ill Communications which is my fav since 6th grade when it dropped. Anyways I can't get into Beauty School myself thus far...

[wheresmysnare]

I've noticed that Shinedown have released a new single called Diamond Eyes - rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrripppp offffffffff"!
