How do you currently feel about the Tones's upcoming album?

[shine down unshy]

Yeah I wasn't totally into S/T when it dropped.  It did take me a while to get into, to appreciate.  I think it's one of their best albums to date, so far.

I think Deftones should give the fans some more info on what they are doing i.e. blog or myspace bulletins. That would get people to really get excited.

[rainnyx4]

I'm always excited for a new Deftones album.  In my opinion, they've never put out a bad album (though I was disappointed with S/T, I wouldn't say it was bad).  I'm really just aching for them to get really ambitious with their songwriting however.  If everything is as straightforward as Melanie, then I might be a little disappointed, but I'm sure the album will still be good.

[pixElsblUr]

I don't actually get how some people could say that about ST.  IMHO every album released by deftones has been awesome for the exception of a couple of tracks that arent all that; like pink cell phone other then that, great music.  am looking forward to the upcoming release.

It took me several months to like S/T and now I love it.

i really dont get this "it takes months of listenings" crap,.. when i first heard the entire s/t album my jaw dropped to the floor... and at the same time i got worried... i thought "no, this is so fucking good i cant believe it, now there gonna be BIG for REAL and be all over the place" ....but that didnt happen. it got good reviews but then i saw fan sites dissing it and i was like "huh..? its fucking better than white pony ffs!"

Well after the progression of White Pony, it was a case of 'Holy shit, where are this band going?'. White Pony was the band hitting the stratosphere. and when I heard Deftones, I didn't dislike it, but I didn't know how to feel about it either. I knew on some level I dug the sound of it, without really articulating in my head that it was 'good', because to be honest I didn't KNOW it was good back then. I was a bit estranged from the album at first; White Pony was a hedonistic exploration, future proof and downright NEW, the band were perched to fly off into exciting new areas, and along comes Deftones, and its this fucking dark, fractured record. I kept listening to it, and the more I did, the more I looked into the lyrics and the sounds, it became apparent that Deftones was a derailing from the logical progression (following WP), and that this band had been hit with a sledgehammer sometime after Pony. On some level I sensed disappointment within me that their White Pony direction had ground to a halt, and that this band had maybe lucked out. Still there was something about the record that kept me listening. It was something I was determined to figure out. Was this record great and was I still rightfully listening for a reason, or was I right in thinking that this band's sudden change was a bad sign? Yet, for those who eventually understood, it wasn't disappointing at all. On some dirty, rotten, palm rubbing level, the band's personal issues were fortunate, because they'd laid those issues out on the record and produced arguably the best shit they'd laid down. I came to understand that it was actually the best direction they could've taken. Why? Well, think of it like this.

White Pony is standing in a pristine room, in front of a beautiful glass statuette of the Virgin Mary, viewing it through stoned eyes, and Deftones is the appearance of a crack across her face that you don't remember happening when you wake up the next morning. Its the acknowledgement of a fucking travesty. Its something you didn't see coming, yet you know for a fact you were witness to it at the time. Shit changes, you don't see the signs, and you're left to pick up the pieces, knowing full well that the broken pieces only got there with the added influence of you and your choices.

As exciting as White Pony was, it was kind of soulless - in some ways that's part of its hedonistic charm, but I had this new album, and it was a fucking soul record. Deftones could be played amongst Motown shit and fit right in. Ha ha. When it transpired what the band had gone through in that period, it all makes sense that Deftones was the fallout. There's nothing cerebral to Deftones, in comparison to WP, which is all very intellectual. Deftones was about heart, but it wasn't a record that was easy to get because that sense of soul came out of left field, given what had just gone before it (WP). So in that regard, it took a while to understand Deftones. When you do understand Deftones, its their best album.

I honestly believe that it was easy for fans back then to listen to Deftones and not get it without coming to understand the reasons for it. I also believe that whoever still doesn't rate Deftones, still doesn't appreciate the gravity of the record. I've said this before, but Deftones is their most painful, most heartfelt record. Its the one that the people who really fucking LOVE what this band have done, appreciate the most, because its the one time they really wore their hearts on their sleeves for the sake of the music. Its fucking wonderful that a band could go from the crazy experimental fronts of WP to such a stripped down approach of Deftones, and write better shit.

That's the difference between Deftones and SNW for me. SNW has little heart, and none of the intellectual stimulation of WP either. From the Ezrin shit I was hoping to get a good mix. With stuff like Buffalo, it seemed like the heart of Deftones was going to remain, but we were going to get some fresh soundscapes, and SNW would be the progessive train being put back on to the tracks after the interesting, fulfilling experience of Deftones. Not surprising really, Buffalo is quite frankly, more of a Deftones-era track gone semi-prog, which is exactly what I wanted next.

Shit didn't happen though. It'd better happen with the new one. This band are better when they write in the moment, and the wait for this new one is making me nervious.
