Rocket Skates - Studio Version

[pixElsblUr]

I dig the woo, it's working for me

[lahemi]

I am actually happy about Rocket Skates. Artistically, I agree that nothing really happens, it's not that original, but it totally smells like Deftones and I'm in love with the sound production.

And like the rest of the albums, 1 song doesn't really tend to reflect on the rest of the songs.

That, and I don't know about you guys, but for me the Deftones are an album-band anyways. Sure, the songs are working alone perfectly  too, but when I listen to Digital Bath , I have always in mind what comes right after it, y'know? Elite is not just another simple heavy song, it always has the whole atmo of the rest of the album in it, like a brick of a wall.
So long story short: Yes, RS might be a bit 0815, but it drives me nuts to imagine what the song before and after it will sound like. Nope, I srsly can't wait for the whole album (experience).

I just noticed something... around 0:23 of Rocket Skates I'm hearing the coin sound from Super Mario World.

It's the first sound you hear in this video. Super Mario World Part 1

[pdaddy]

really hope that rocket skates in album context will  make more sense...

for it...as a standalone song (AND AS A FIRST SINGLE) it sounds a bit "uninspired".....

good production, also good screaming in the chorus...

But if you hear heavy songs like hexagram.... it disappoints

[Inkblades]

I disagree with you naysayers. This song rocks my fucking socks off.

[Inkblades]

The quality is piss poor. I listened to it once and deleted it. This isn't the right way to hear this song.

[Jacob]

it's probably a good example of how the rest of the album will sound too. I can't remember if they meant this album or Eros when they said they hadn't written an album as fast as this since ATF, but in either case that has to apply here considering the short period of time they've had to write and record it. and isn't that what a lot of you want? pretty basic songs on the more aggressive side? I can totally see this album as being a lot more like ATF in song structures and heaviness than any of the other albums.

[Slacker]

fuck this. im waiting until the 23rd.

[Jacob]

whoa, the break is fucking good. I hope we got to hear more Frank on this album.

[White Pwny]

<3 IT!!!!

[ToneDef]

It's awesome. Quality is terrible though.. Like a fucking Kazaa download or some shit.

I'd say wait 'til tomorrow.

Thanks to those who ripped/upped.

[White Pwny]

I listened and even tho quality was not fantastic... it isn't horrific either.    Hell, I listened to SNW in MUCH WORSE quality...

[ToneDef]

I'll come stab you for disagreeing with me, woman.

[deftjess]

The Teaser sound heavier if course...so i can imagine the song being heavy...cant wait for the quality Rocket Skates

[White Pwny]

I'll come stab you for disagreeing with me, woman.

Sounds almost kinky, Travis.

[Crazylegs]

I hated this song when i had only heard the live recordings, but it's growing on me.

whoa, the break is fucking good.

i agree. easily the best part of the song.

[m1nusblindfoLd]

I actually like the effect they added to Chino's voice...the almost radio-esque, loud-speaker thing...makes the song a little better for me.

The only thing that I haven't been able to look past really is how many times he sings that chorus part...especially towards the end, he sings it a lot over and over. I miss the numerous sick verses from the first 3 albums' songs, each with their own creative lyrics that I would never have thought of in a million years...

[Deadradio]

Awesome!

Y'know, I think it's supposed to be watermark of sorts.
