Really?
Fuck you Chino!

Album of the year sounds about right

Nobody will ever agree because you all have different perceptions of what "selling out" is. I probably won't read any replies to this comment. PEACE!

the real problem is that everyone here sees everything in black or white. nothing in between. either you love chino and deftones, and therefore one must love everything they say or do and must defend everything about them (fanboyism). and they seem to think that there's only one alternative to this: that you have to hate chino, deftones, and everything they say or do and.and as long as they only see it from these two options, you can't ever have a sane discussion with a dude like me who's in the grey area.

like for me it's possible to like something but not have to like everything about it/all it does. For example, I can love a dog, but I wouldn't like if it took a shit inside my apartment.I would say that that thing just wasn't ok, but I would still love the dog anyway.
sl and its members with their way of thinking at this board would,if they loved their dog, say that they liked that the dog pooped indoors. or might make up an excuse/lie that the dog wasn't feeling well and therefore HAD to poop indoors. maybe they would remove the shit and then say that the dog never took a shit in the first place. sweet denial. they would never be able face a simple truth and say "yes my dog ​​fucked up, but it's ok, it happens. i love my dog anyway". because making up excuses and defend something you love must be done at all costs at every time given. but all it will result is stupidity and idiocy

"Honestly, I feel that some of these songs are more commercial than anything we've ever written"

I'm worried about that too but Chino does sometimes have different meanings to words when he's talking about music,we'll just have to wait and see but going by the songs we've heard to me it sounds less commercial than DE

"Honestly, I feel that some of these songs are more commercial than anything we've ever written"

Personally i think the most commercial songs they have ever written are on white pony, with songs like Digital bath, Knife Party and Change. And those 3 are my easily in my top 5 ever.  I'm not stress about that comment.

The song structure is more conventional but not the lyrics they even had to change the lyrics in the book so they didn't get censored.either way a Deftones commercial song still aren't really commercial lol

[bewareofrats]

Well it depends on what your definition of commercial is.  It could end up that it doesn't sound commercial to a lot of people and I'm sure some people it will.  Whatever the case I'm sure it won't sound more commercial than DE.

those songs are soft, easy listening, melodic and radio friendly, so i can see how someone would call them commercial in a way.especially if you compare them to most songs on the records before wp. not a huge fan of those but they still have some sort of weird underground mysterious vibe to them, so prefer them over the choruses in songs like diamond eyes and leathers, there it feels like they're trying really hard to make a melody/hook that will capture a new audience. like it's not from their hearts, just manufactured parts made for a wider audience.i don't hate soft,but i hate obvious atempts for catchy choruses that sound cheesy. we'll see

[DeftonesNZ]

Yeah i would say diamond eyes songs were predictable

[Gee]

Yeah brilliant article, really nicely written.

I liked what he said about Stef getting into the lyrics for a change.

Saturday Night Wrist took three years to make and it's not like it was that great for taking three years

Lol, Amen. The guy is pretty aware of the work he's pulling off and that's a quality.

I would consider myself part of the grey area you speak of, but I think the difference, for me at least, is that I will spend infinitely more time/thoughts on the things I do like than the things I don't.

Your analogy is too exaggerated in my opinion.  Just because I may not like some deftones song, or some guest spot Chino does, doesn't mean that I would say they "fucked up".  You either like it or you don't.  What's the point in attempting to pick apart the motivations of dudes we don't even know?
