(I'm not one of those people that think that just because my favorite band made a new song, it automatically kicks ass, FUCK YEAH! ) a quote for variable which i think is so true  I'm not a hater but i think that's what happened here i just hope i don't have to wait for eros to come out for a good album

After further review, I think the song is good but not great. The lyrics are an improvement from most of the stuff on SNW and those two interchanging riffs are monstrous. However, the song gets repetitive. I wish the bridge/break had a different riff or something.

Haha, Ink, your posts are always the best.

the song is a bit of a copy paste of verse and chorus.It is a good song and has a great vibe. but I believe they could have put a little bit more effort into it.

its good as simple...

deftones are really clever this time, i like the song as it is...no need any different riff on this track..they already done it so many times at adrenalin and on the others..

When I do my workout at night I put that shit on repeat.  Rocket Skates is great!  To me it sounds like a completely new deftones.  Haters will eventually see the light.  

Thats funny, Deftones workout music!!  I have to admit it is good to workout to, the energy of the song gets me pumped!  Yeah, I think we will see a lot of haters change their minds. I mean, it happens with every single album.  Everyone hated ATF because it was "nu-metal baby Korn" then they hated WP because it wasnt ATF and it was too "commercial" then they hated S/T because it was a bad follow up to WP(which I admit to hating it at first), ironically the haters started appreciating WP and then when SNW came out it they picked apart every single song like it was an episode of American Idol and they were Simon.  Now there is an overwelming appreciation for SNW all of a sudden on this board... i guess thats just how Deftones music is... it gets better with age and grows on you

deftones fans didnt knock atf at all, all that "baby korn" talk was from korn fans. atf was always highly appreciated among def heads.
and that "overwelming appreciation for snw" ..i just dont know. there was a record vote out here at sl not so long ago,snw was the first one to go and it happen rapidly

I actually think that Around the Fur is the only album where all their elements get in complete harmony.

Song has great riffs, but like others have said, it's incredibly repetitive.  I hate it when the Deftones get lazy with their songwriting.  There's a part where there's a really obviously good transition to a proper bridge and they don't take it, opting out to just repeat a riff over again instead.  This song has me really worried that the album will be S/T part II.  Most people here will love that.  But like I've always said, that album feels incredibly lazy to me.  Just like this song.

SNW > S/T

if the new record will be as optimistic and happy as rs then it can never ever be s/t part 2. no matter how simple the song structures are

Heard Rocket Skates in my car on Octane (xm radio)!
The bass sounded huuuuge with my system...I dripped a lil pre-cum in my pants.
