i feel like SNW is greatly under-appreciated still.

^ I agree. I finally listened to SNW after not listening to for like a year and I can hear the evolution of SNW -> DE. The space, prog kind of sound from SNW is perfected on DE. Although, I think DE is too clean. I like that dirtiness.
..Yeah don't go there,

I let you get to me

yeah yeah.

i also feel that experimental vibe isn't so prevalent on DE, which is odd being a very different album than anything they've done before. i miss the weirdness of it which is why the lead up to eros was so exciting at the time. still though, i consider DE a solid album.

I think it is also. No matter how many reasons I hear of why people don't like it, I still don't get. The only song I don't really listen to is Pink Cellphone.

diamond eyes is a little bit hard to say just good or bad about i think, when the peaks like royal, prince, risk, ystb are very high, but the low marks such as sextape, beauty school and rocket skates are very low and kinda sucks. I like the album overall but it lacks the darkness and anxiety which is a pitty. d.e is somewhere in the middle for me if I would rank them

The only song on the album I could do without is the title track. I almost always skip it and begin with royal.

I know. That's why it's fun! :)

from_musings

Yes, but be careful, since it's almost just you who are running hatred towards s/t, the result is that one get the feeling that many people like it everytime you post.Opposite effect and shit :p

Haha St and de are ok snw hmmm not so sure, none of them have the depth of white pony, St sometimes seems like it is a contender but that's just because it's so dark. De is better than snw and St because it's more of a finished product, it's more cohesive and it's put deftones back on track commercially, which has really spurred the band on, they seem happier in the interviews about the music.

those three posts have just taken the cake of funniest exchange on SL ever.
