5/4 Holdout

[Jesus2Chino]

well in my case im deploying to afghanistan in a week so i had too, and its guna be nice to have the new album out there among the bullshitt i gotta go thru

If I was in your position, I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to download it. Good luck overseas man, and cheers for what you're doing.

Wow, I could not hold out, u guys have giant cocks.

It is certainly a masterpiece.

I for one will continue to enjoy the Leaked Dub and buy a copy on 5/18 as well.

Thanks for the horse-cock compliment, lol.

Much respect,

I'm waiting.  I listened to Rocket Skates and Diamond Eyes a couple of times since they are singles, but that's it.

same here,
i listen to Rocket Skates now and then or watch the video, and I've listened to Diamond Eyes ONLY 4 times, from the one that was with the interview, and that's it.
I'll wait, but i don't know if i'll listen to it the week before their show here in Mexico (April) to know the songs, or listen the songs live and then listen them on the album...
but i think i can wait until April to make a decission    and listen now an then ONLY Rocket Skates or something they release officially.

well sir, you have quite the reward coming your way. easily some of their best stuff.

holy hell - 57 days seems a long ways away...but nothing like that moment you first get it in your hands.  I'm in India - so hopefully they ship it fast enough through amazon - otherwise waiting any longer is going to be painful!

Waiting the time needed to wash my teeth was all I could do. I'm so very weak!

[Moz]

you guys are going to love it.

[Wax And Wane]

Had the whole download. (Listened to Rocket Skates and Diamond Eyes before the leak) and me and a fellow crazy fan sat down and checked out 976-EVIL one time.... Then I deleted the whole thing. It's gonna be like fucking Christmas! Me and my buddy were thinking about starting a support group to get us thru these next 8 long weeks. Lol.  So even though there was a bit of a point of weakness I think I can hold out... But I must say reading the reviews around here does NOT help me want to wait. lol

[Jesus2Chino]

I've refused to read any song by song reviews either, or any block of text than significantly describes any of the songs, lol. I'm going to be surprised in every way possible, haha.

That's pretty hardcore!  I'm ok with it b/c no one can aptly describe how a song sounds.  What about lyrics?  You reading them?  I'm ok with that too.  I remember when I bought White Pony, I read the whole booklet before listening to it.  It was my first taste of Deftones and I couldn't imagine how the band could such crazy imagery into a song.  And boy did they nail it.

Haven't read the lyrics either, though I'd be most willing to do that. I'm afraid if I read a play by play of the album I'll work up some expectations of how the songs will/should sound, which is never a healthy thing to do in my experience--I'm likewise afraid I'll know where the dynamics are going from song to song, which might ruin it for me as well. Lyrics though, hrmmm, I hadn't thought about it. If I'm going all out though, I suppose I might as well just wait on those too, lol. I don't have a logical reason to not read them though, just going with the flow I guess.

Good point.

I feel like I'm living in this thread, lol. 56 days,

I waited for both S/T and SNW to come out officially before I listened to them. I liked the suspension it built and I simply wanted the whole experience with album cover and everything. but neither felt really worth it. I don't think I would've liked either album more or less if I hadn't waited.

and this time around the leak came so early that I just couldn't stay away. I found it friday morning and I was just about to go to my old hometown to drink with friends and play music, so I pretty damn excited to hear it. and it put me in a damn good mood throughout the weekend. besides that, it would be pretty hard for me to not listen to it seeing as how I kinda have to read through all threads and posts here and with all the discussion about the songs I would inevitably form some sort of expectations and opinions two months early. and I didn't want that.

good luck to those who wait!
