Rocket Skates - Studio Version

[endoeleven]

Killer Song.

[Penicks]

You totally can not compare this to anything on S/T. S/T's dark, broody. Moody. It's full of sorrow. Rocket Skates is uplifting.

[Deftones-argentina]

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.


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

[skinnypuppy]

Reprise is Warner, FYI

The quality of the song they posted isn't that great but the song is %100 brutally awesome. Im digging it for sure,

The download is 320 kbps, so thats the highest quality mp3 possible. Also, the tag of the mp3 mentions 'Final' which makes me think this is not a rough mix. Plus, the album comes out soon anyway

[goldpony]

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

[White Pwny]

Josh.. you are fired.

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!

Heaven forbid some people don't like it. I personally think it's bland too. Meh riffs, meh chorus, meh vocal styling, meh song in general. Don't like it at all. I might like it next month, who knows - but right now I don't like it.

I understand, but damn its never good enuff for everyone. People bitched about every album since Adrenaline!!!

[Starz]

I agree with Skinnypuupy. Rocket Skates is really underwhelming

Where did you get a 320 mp3 from? Because when I downloaded it from the Deftones website this morning it was a 128 mp3...

I dont really care, i feel sorry that you are not as excited for it.  thats all

of course they have. it's in our nature, motherfucka! I personally havent whined or bitched since SNW, I didnt like that album much, but it eventually grew on me. Still, not a huge fan of it though. It's more along the lines of personal opinion vs bitching. I'm not bitching, I'm just saying it's not that great of a track in my opinion. I'm happy all of yall like it, but its just not working for me
