So, I might have missed this discussion already but...

[No More Sugar]

As most of you who know I exist know i don't post a whole lot... reason being but  I don't have alot of time to freelance on the internet anymore with my new job and college starting in a month or so...but what do you all think of diamond eyes? I have emotional connections to every deftones song for different reason...but i had a personal falling out with this cd honestly. When i first found it on utorrent, i burned it immediately for fear that it would be removed soon(which did happen obv) and of course for the first 2-3 weeks i made my friends sit through that album at least more than a hundred times. Then when my girlfriend (and this other girl who I introduced to the deftones 2 years ago and has since become a big fan) picked it up from me...subsequently during this 4 day span of being drunk/high 24 hours a day with quite a few people(including an ex on one of those days) my girlfriend seemed to have lost trust in me, and dumped me...but still opted to hang out with me frequently after it was done? I have nothing but hate for the songs on this cd lyrically with the exception of Command/CTRL. The music, vocals, and overall feel i love..but without the lyrical mortar to hold it together, i've "lost my taste" for this album and therefore refuse to listen to it for the most part. But hey that's just me.  Thumbs up/Down for you guys?

I do appreciate the album for what it's done for me though, It got me into the Circa Survive show for free a month ago. I showed it to a couple of local bands that played with them.

thumbs way the fuck up from me. nothing but good vibes come at me from this album. it gets me set for the world pretty well.

[E-Money]

Yea I couldn't be happier, I'm sorry u feel that way dude. I think I'll even appreciate it more when I see some of the songs live.

[Vesanic]

That's my man.

I totally agree with you, dude. The album is more than decent, it's a great piece of music. But something's missing.

saturday night wrist came out at the absolute lowest point in my life and has nothing but bad memories attached to it. i still love the music but oddly enough i think it effects me personally the most out of all the records. i have a love hate relationship with that record.

[Moz]

so you mean you have bad memories attached to the record? that sucks man. if you just waited for the normal release, you wouldn't have that... so I guess that's bad karma.

oh and I love the record. I mean I really really love it. right up there with ATF and WP for me.

What is a deftones fan supposed to do when the first album in 4 years gets leaked? Besides, you obviously took that opportunity too, just like EVERYONE else who prowls this forum.

I love the music, but Prince and You've Seen the Butcher are the ONLY reasons I put that cd in my stereo. Prince is in my top 5 favorite deftones songs period. It's my opinion of them perfecting their sound from SNW.

[TheShade1989]

I've never really had bad memories attached to a certain album or song. I guess I let the actual song alter my mood rather than keep certain memories to them, whether that's a purposeful thing or not. Anyways...sucks that you feel that way, it must be rather disappointing. Personally I disagree, I've been listening to it everyday since it leaked, more or less, and I dont like it any less. But that's just me.

dude Im not judging you for downloading, the hell. it was a joke =)

Now if only you could attach those bad feelings to the drinking and smoking instead of the music--you'd be a much healthier person, lol.

Much respect,

That was a hell of an interesting response, dude, bravo.

[nineteenpeoplesnames]

It's still growing on me. I keep finding certain bits in songs that I concentrate on, and in turn that makes me like it more.

Fortunately had no bad personal times when listening to Deftones records. Probably why they rank high in my musical 'likes'.

Must admit though, when bad times affect a record it definitely scars the liking of it (except Radiohead, which seems to comfort)

[pinkmaggit69]

Still can't get into 'This Place is Death' 

Otherwise, it's my favorite besides Around the Fur.

[Penicks]

It's lacking a deeper atmosphere in my opinion. It's in your face, which I kind of like, but this album definitely does not define Deftones for me. But it's all personal I guess. I still like it though. It does fit in the entire "we 'lost' Chi but we're still here to kick some ass" vibe.

Well,

I just can't figure out what in the holy fuck the creator of this thread is asking us.  First, he loves the album for 2-3 weeks and makes his 'friends sit through' it 'at least more than a hundred times'.  Then his girlfriend doesn't trust him anymore, and dumps him, because he spends four days drunk/high (most girls are less than impressed by this sort of behavior, fyi) and hangs out with an ex (gee, I wonder why she doesn't trust him).  Then he says he has 'nothing but hate for the lyrics'.  Did he have nothing but hate for them during that first 2-3 weeks?  Did his breakup change his mind?  Is this the 'personal falling out' that he describes?  Now he 'refuses to listen to' the album (all of this within a 2-3 week period, mind you).  Then he asks for a 'Thumbs up/Down'.  Thumbs up/Down to what?  The lyrics?  The album?  His breakup?

I for one am throwing a big Thumbs up to his girlfriend.  Sounds like she made the best decision of her life.

It's a good thing the Deftones write because they love to and not because they want to please their fans. Because I'm sure they'd be super proud all their hard work got you into a few places for free. Despite you downloading the album for free in the first place.

What a joke.
