you think so? there's something so mystical/mysterious about that era that it's part of its appeal in my opinion

Agreed. I'd actually rather them release a DVD about that whole writing/recording process rather than make a new album.

[Starz]

Oh I totally agree about the whole mystery surrounding it. But I would just like to know from the bands point of view, what they really think of the album. It's considered the "divorce" album or whatever and maybe that's why the band hate it so much. I would put it to the band that a lot of fans see S/T as your best work but you guys only play the same songs off of it and never any of the others. Why is that? Thanks.

[jbmp1390]

I agree with Starz, so many great songs from that album but they NEVER play them, other than maybe hexagram and a couple others. I would really love to hear Anniversary Of An Uninteresting Event someday. Does anyone know if they've ever played it live?

[slyartwork]

The played it at the Chi benefit show.

I know this, but I can google as well:

They play a bunch of songs from s/t ppl, just as they do from any other album. There is no reason they don't play certains songs as there is no reason they don't play certain songs from any other album. They just like these better to play... Okay, that is an opinion, not a fact but still.... Look at White Pony.... they don't play certain songs from that album too... same as the others.

Deftones are not such a difficult band, believe me, they just like these better to play for that reason. No special other meaning....

thanks sly, thanks ves

deathblow and moana are pretty dark stuff.. and deftones themselves talk a lot about that diamond eyes is a bit more optimistic, the vibe of their relationship among each other are positive, maybe they want the shows to be just that too "oh happy days tour". personally I think they should play more of the s/t stuff because I think much of that album is the best they've ever done.deathblow, wgtb, lucky you,bloody cape and moana are all like top 10 deftones songs of mine.

anniversary is also good, and brilliant positioned on the album. it's like the tsunami in 2004 when it was two waves that struck. people there said that between the 2 waves,the water pulled back and it was quiet and peaceful before the second wave.and then the second wave came with tremendous force. anniversary is like the calm part between the waves right before the second wave - moana :p

[sing blue silver]

Not much point in saying it but that second wave should have been called lovers.

[from_musings]

the problem with lovers as a closer in this metaphor is that it wouldn't strike with tremendeous force. Moana really attacks you while lovers would be a weak ending. i love the song, no question, but it's mellow and sweet, it wouldn't be a second wave of destruction - it would be like as if a little child pissed in the water and that warm mixed water/piss gently washed up on your feet while you stood on the beach

[sing blue silver]

Really? I find the opening so much more bludgeoning than the opening of moana. Lovers just explodes and never let's up. Definitely a bigger guitar sound. The soft intro of moana goes on too long. How the he'll is lovers mellow and sweet? We're talking about the same song right?

[pony_01]

talking about lovers here, did anyone remember the fake lovers cover? the one with a phonebooth and deftones logo on it. i've been searching everywhere and cant find the image.. it's pretty dope to me, though its a fake cover..

the moana intro is scary and gives the listener a hint of that something bad is about to happen... and then BAM, it strikes and unleach hell in your face. i think Moana is much more vicious ,mean sounding and attacking while lovers is more of a dreamy song. I've had this discussion with defmkjkj22 and also hidalgo (who think they can can put lovers just about anywhere without it affecting a carefully chosen order of songs "hey it's a good song just put it in there, st sucks so it doesn't matter where") so i think i've said it all. it's cool that a song can sound so different in our ears though

i seen it on the old deftonesworld.com i think. but then i lost it.

[iceache]

mtv.ca is the canadian site.

Starting to sound like a 2012 album. Gonna write on their downtime, then finish touring, then go in to record or write some more, whatever comes of it.

Shit.. I didn't realize that they've got almost 2 months of downtime between tours.. Lots of time to write a new album if they have the momentum.

Then they tour until September 3rd, so after that, it's either more writing or maybe recording... so.. might be an early 2012 record.

[Inkblades]

In this video, when they are talking about Chi, they show a picture of someone THAT ISN'T CHI. MTV are fucking amateurs.
