Nods to the past on Diamond Eyes

[Dienekes]

I noticed that on diamond eyes they give a lot of little nods to thier past works. I think of them almost like Easter eggs in a video game or an uncredited cameo in a movie. It really is like a gift to the fans in a way.

A couple of good examples are the begining of Prince (rx queen), the toniiiiiiight I line in sextape (digital bath) and others I can't remember righ now. What little things like this have you guys caught or noticed?

deftones have done their homework

[godin]

they just wrote songs. stop over analyzing

[DenOndaNissen]

yeah, i know. i thought about it too!
On the album Around The Fur, Abe play drums, chino sings and Stef plays the guitar. I think it have might happened in the new one too!
I think i can hear frank too but the bass on the new one dont sound like the old ones!

I think you guys are misunderstanding, above is exactly what I meant. I love the way they looked back and owned thier older stuff and brought it full circle. Btw, is there a prize awarded here for who can be the most sarcastic douche? I didn't get the memo.

wasn't directed at you. I meant denondanissan.

when i open a thread about how people experience as far as mood and catchyness compared to past work, it gets closed. now this is similiar; about the same new record, how people experience something, but hell no i dont see no squashing mods around.

i say no more pie for you fellas

[TheShade1989]

Yeah I think it is over-analyzing it a bit. I mean I'm with you on Sextape with the "tonight" thing, I was almost surprised wen he didnt say "I feel like more". Dont think it was on purpose though, you know? Like he mentions waves too. Just think it's his song-writing. As for Prince...well, I think that is supposed to be an obvious similarity to Rx Queen.

prince chorus actually reminds me more of atf
