SNW the new S/T

[Sushi-X]

All this backlash i've been seeing lately. Some of you act like its their worst album. 'It was to over produced. Too commercial. All those songs suck.' Why? Oh, Cuz it wasn't white pony 2. Just like when the s/t came out. Its not my favorite, but Damn at least acknowledge that it has some awesome work on there.

[Starz]

Hole In The Earth and Beware are good but the rest is bollox IMO.

[iceache]

It doesn't have awesome work on there. Every song, the lyrics repeat themselves. The vocals are horrible on it. The drums were alright.

Cherry Waves, Xerces, Combat, Riviere...bollox? Really?

[TheShade1989]

Overall it's my least favorite album...I guess...but it has some of my favorite songs on it. Beware especially.

[sing blue silver]

how many times can the same thread be made. we've all had this argument a million times. i personally love every single deftones album, SNW is different but i don't understand the hate. like it if you want, hate it if you want. Kimdracula is one of my all time favorite songs so whatever. it works for me.

[Vesanic]

The Konami Code is a brillant wavy/blues-y instrumental balad. Calling it bollox is like calling gold shit.

[defsteve]

Love it.

Also contains 2 of my all time favourite Deftones tracks....

Combat & kimdracula

yeah it's completely underrated. if you wanted white pony part 2 you'll never get it because deftones realize that repeating yourself is just plain retarded.

I don't think that's the main problem - in my eyes (or rather, ears) SNW is the closest tied to WP of all their albums. this might be a wild guess, but I'm under the impression that most of the hate for SNW comes from the same people who think Chino should still write songs where the chorus goes "Suck suck suck... (x12)".

well we all have to grow up sometime and a 36 year old man still writing a bunch of "rap metal" songs might be a bit pathetic. *cough*fred durst*cough*

what a stupid thread

[There Will Be Blood]

[Sushi-X]

Then don't read if its stupid to you. Simple as that.

My favorites on there Kimdracula, xerces, konami code, riviere, beware, cherry waves, and yes Mein.

[jesusinabowlofdirt]

personally i have no idea what people are talking about when they say snw sounds "polished" i think it sounds like a crappy demo. and the way chino sings,omg.. sounds like he's taking a huge fucking dump while he sings. squeezing a big one out

[bangbang240]

Yeah, it just doesn't "sound" good to me... It's stupid to call it too polished because every album since Around the Fur has been super polished. I would never say I hate SNW (Combat is awesome) but I just don't ever listen to it anymore.

[snw9]

I am totally against this thread, Self-titled was more of a one dimension album compared to Saturday Night wrist. Im not sayin its bad but im tryin to compare it in terms of creativity. SNW had more depth in the music and lyrics. Despite the harsh times the band went thru, it seemed like more effort and emotions are felt in the songs compared to ST which is heavy, but not appealing to listen to as SNW is diverse and in way, each song has a different story behind it with complementing music.

[Dienekes]

Man, I don't get the snw hate either! Mein and pink cell both blow, hard. The rest of that album is absolutely amazing. FAR better than adrenaline IMO! I think it is just not "hard enough" for a lot of people on here... I don't see how anybody who likes team sleep can dislike this album.

I agree that the album is vastly underrated. I may be wrong but I thin wp, st and snw are all the same on metacritic (not that it means much). Critics always underrate the deftones. How wp is not on every single best of the decade list I will NEVER understand, especially when I see some of the other shit on those lists... The strokes is this it is a great record but it is no wp and it is in all the top 5's.

[Corleone]

The only song I listen to from this era is the Xerces Demo. I like Kimdracula too.
