Whats the best song from S/T Era?

[Variable]

Wow, now I understand whats going on here.  WGTB is the #1 song on this survey.  Most of you are saying you like ST as either your 1st or 2nd deftones album.  And too fucking many people are saying they like HITE.  So pretty much most of you are kids who still think NU Metal is cool and just need to grow up a bit.  Now I understand why someone in another thread was talking about how they got slammed for saying linkin park sucked.  I like some of you a lot better when I don't know how bad your taste in music is.  I think im going to stop coming into this forum.

ratsratsrats is an annoying piece of shit.

Oh no you didn't!!!!!    Rats!  is teh shit!

[Variable]

Oh and I do like anniversary.  I just kind of stopped listening to it because it was this thing between me and this girl.  Yeah I know im being all emo about it.  But that's all I think about when I hear that shit, so it kind of ruined it.

[White Pwny]

lolz.. .Emo.

[Penicks]

Variable, your mental scars prevent you from enjoying good music.Get a therapist.

[Variable]

Lol.  I don't get all like depressed and want to slit my wrist and shit.  Its just that the only thing I can think about when I hear that song is having sex with this chick.  And I got sick of her enough in real life.  Plus even with other really good slow songs I have to be in the mood, which is not very often.

Beware's album version sucks balls, but it sounded so good back when it's demo was on myspace, that was a good song.

yeah the sound is much better, you can actually hear the background guitar

[Variable]

I think the album version is pretty good

OK, now you're getting a little too far out there for me. How is HITE "nu metal"? Shitty video aside, it's a great song. Allmusic.com hits the nail on the head:

"Check the opener — and single — "Hole in the Earth." It begins with a wall of feedback and thunderously distorted guitars accented by rim shots and cymbal fire before giving way to a skeletal six-string figure that seems barely able to support Moreno's singing, which combines the euphoria of a young, less pretentious Bono with the attack of, well, the Deftones. Guitars echo and whisper all along the backdrop while Moreno hovers there, until they crackle and spit to bring him back."

So, you hate WGTB and HITE but like Pink Cellphone and Ratsx3?  I like Ratsx3 too, but as heavy songs go, WGTB puts it to shame. Lyrically better (come on, how do you NOT love the lyrics to WGTB?) and has the dark, brutal and haunting Deftones sound that Ratsx3 is missing. And I'll take EVERY song in Deftones catalogue over Pink Cellphone. EVERY LAST ONE! That's not even a Deftones song. To me, it's a stupid little beat Chino made on garage band. Then, to make it really KICK, he added Annie Hardy rambling on about anal sex. At least ALL of the members of Deftones wrote WGTB and HITE.

Variable, it seems that you listened to S/T in 03 and were so disappointed you never really gave it a fair shake again. Understandable. But, it is a good album. I'm glad you're at least giving it another shot.

And lay off the crack, too.

I'd also like to add that HITE > Minerva. Any day of the week.

well then you could say that about WGTB or any other heavy song they've done. if one is forced, why isnt the other?

[lithium]

glad to see all the love for hole in the earth. very very good song. heartfelt and unique. chino's vocals are amazing on it.

and i completely agree with cyppe's statement of rats, i've said it to a few people on this board, the song is completely forced. i felt this exact same way about  elite, but i ultimately grew to love the song.
