IMO SNW Is their best

[frud]

SNW is the cats pajamas, Mein is a grand song and so is the rest of the album, with the exception of Pink telephonooo being the only just decent track i've ever heard from them.

[mr.sinister]

The trick is not to take Pink Cellphone too seriously.

I like Saturday Night Wrist, it's not the strongest of the Deftones material I would not say the album was poor. I liked Mein as well. I think the album proves that they can do more than just do repeats of older records and yes I am looking forward to Eros very much!!

Don't get me wrong, I like Pink cellphone, but its just decent..
well a better way to put it would be its just good when i expect neverending amounts of amazing songs.

this list sucks

[Hesperian Death-Horse!]

The only songs that I feel are slightly sub-par from the rest or just not as appealing are:

Beware
Mein
Xerxes

The rest feels like a classic evolution of Deftones. "Mein" and "Xerxes" feel like a step backward in songwriting skill and "Beware" just kind of bores me. It may be because I heard versions of it so long before the rest of the record. But the rest of the tracks are very musically fulfilling to me. If it weren't for those three bumps in the road, I'd probably like SNW a shitload more. For the record I do love it just about as much as all the others all of which I hold in very high regard. Deftones are one of the few bands for me where I don't actually HATE any of their songs and all albums are "album experiences" and not just piecemeal scraping for good tracks among the din of shittiness.

The amazing thing i find about deftoens ( for me anyway) i hate a song, i don't like it at all and never play it and then one day i'll love it. its weird i've never had a band do that before ... as with this album

Its more laid back then alot of other deftoens albums ( the ones i've got/listined ot anyway)
it seems like deftones was trying to do somthing new in this album/ Borden (?) they're creativity by putting in an instrumental and a slightley techno song ( UD / Pink cell) and Very soft songs ( Beware/ cherry/ Xerces) and then Heavy metal ( Rats / Rapture)

so really thye actually got a whole range of genres.

Props to deftones
Who cares if it wasn't theyr'e best at least they're stil making music we like

[Runs With The Spirit]

this record is a real Treat when you want to feel somthing, and chino gets deeper than ever.














"Reincarnation is the topic of the day, rites of absolution phsyching us away, WORD, can you hear it?? can you feel it?? is it the Spirit?? I wanna Know! is there life after death??"

[Hidalgo]

/quote]i can agree with that for sure

[deftones86]

well i didnt want to start a new topic but i just wanted to say what a great fuckin song beware is damn franks sounds are really good if you can hear them not the crickets but during the chorus. sometimes you can hear it live
anyway peace love and pot

[TheQuietDoom46]

I thought Around The Fur, White Pony, and Self-Titled were the best records they've ever made. I never jumped on the White Pony bandwagon as far as being their best but after listening to it more, it is a great record on all aspects.

[frud]

SNW may not be their best album, but it's certainly their most epic.
and Mein is a great song, F.O.

[E-Money]

Mein is absolutely nothing compared to 95% of Deftones material.  Im sorry but that song is so weak.  Should have never made the album.  And the video is pathetic.  That shit bummed me out for a while when I first saw it.  SNW is not their best at all.  Its cool now that they have admitted it. 

[rainnyx4]

Ha, I read through this whole thread not realizing that it was old.  When I got to my post I was like "Finally, someone I agree with on this site." and then I realized that I was reading my own old post.

What really puts me off about Mein is the horrible chorus. And the outro is ummm...strange. but I apprecciate strangeness in music, even when I don't actually enjoy it.

When I was about 19 or whatever I used to have strong opinions on albums, eg - saying they were shite etc.

Now I just don't really give a toss and appreciate if I don't like it, it's not neccesarily bad, just I don't like it.

At the end of the day, every band goes through the same old thing with fans talking about the same old thing.

It will never stop and it makes me laugh.

Fucking thank you, see someone does have ears. Natural progression of a sound easy to hear there from that list. How the hell are vocal melodies on SNW for instance anywhere near as good as those on the previous albums, namely ATF and WP? I mean the idea behind songs like Combat and Mein is cool, but compared to older tunes, the vocals for me are pretty slack.

I will admit that. However whenever u write a song, its really hard to controll urself, cuz its just like ur lookin in the "mirror" and when u really see urself u might be suprised cuz u never pictured urself looking that way before. I know its not really on topic, but i think everyone can relate to that shit.
