Rocket Skates - Studio Version

[bangbang240]

Redownload it. Mine's 320 and 9.9mb

You should up that one...

[Nailec]

boring song imho.

[pixElsblUr]

I just re-downloaded, it's still the same 3.9 meg file

As much as I love the song, does anybody else think that the effects on chinos voice are partially to compensate for his weak screams?

Totally, but they finally found the right way to compensate for it, both in sound and singing aproach. The last "knives" on the chorus is mindblowing, for example (and its the first time the squeal like a pig works for me). I think this may be the last record we get from the deftones with decent screams.




Ohh...and abe's snare sound isn't quite as good as with Terry's production, still good. In love with the rest from the first impressions.

totally agree

p.s. anyone hear this shit on the radio yet?

I can see a slight difference in the waveforms when I compare them side by side, but I'm not hearing much of a difference.

Pd2: In the allaccess page it says that their label is Reprise, not Warner/Maverick/whateva.

listened to the song today. as much as i hate to say it, meh.

it was good and all, but nothing special. Still pysched for the album tho

You all are big fat fucking bummers, give the song a chance for god's sake! Cmon its the Tones, I remember skipping over Mascara going "eeesh!" Now I fucking love that song. Weird now that I think of it. I'll definetly be skipping over RS tho in May, only cuz I will have listened to it a trillion and a half times. And I dont need anybody to tell me that Diamond Eyes is going to be off the fucking chain, beating the ever-loving SHIT out of SNW!

I actually remarked emphasized possitive thoughts about the song and its mix, I don-t get why you quote me but nevermind.
What still I don-t get is why everyone has to put the albums to compete like it-s some kind of pitbull fight where the one who wins is the one who pulls off the oponnent balls. Every album should be aprecciated for what it is and the moment, state of mind and place it was created.
(Whoever, as many said above this is just a forum and feel free to express whatever comes into your mind, I-ll sure do the same)

I think that has a lot to do with how the song was produced from the original tapes. some tracks dont gain much quality from 128 to 320 due to how it was originally produced.

like or no like - i'm digging the activity on sharing lungs! the next few months are going to make work very interesting.  ..... ps - rocket skates ... doesn't disappoint even for a second.

[iceache]

Looks like RS is track 7 on the album.. hmmm interesting.

[E-Money]

Iceache, where are u seeing this?

It could be wrong.. cuz it says Track 7 of 15.. its in the 320kbps version.. in the song tags

[No More Sugar]

I only see 1/1.

[Jesus2Chino]

Yeah, I don't think that's possible. I remember reading somewhere they wrote 11 songs and all of them are on the album. If Diamond Eyes was to be 15 tracks long, I might die of joy.

Much respect,

Start to finish, I LOVE the song!
The vocal effects used only add to the badassness of the live version that we were used to.
The bass sounds hard when it first comes in.
Every instrument sounds pretty beefy.
How can you not bob your head to this shit?!
Seriously...
10 out 10
