Diamond Eyes Elimination (Round 2)

[Jacob]

I like Prince too, but for me it's the most uninteresting song on the album because it feels so unoriginal. the entire song feels like something they've done before. it could very well have been on either ATF or WP. that isn't a bad thing of course, but I've always liked Deftones more when they're experimental instead of keeping in the safe zone. people who consider Prince their favorite on the album only prove that they don't really want anything new from the band. and I'm not bashing anyone for that, so take it easy with the insults.

[Crazylegs]

What the shit, 976 is awesome, vote Risk!

[Dienekes]

...take it easy with the insults.

WHAT??? Moderation on Sharing lungs! What is this place coming too?

Just kidding!

[Jacob]

hey, watch it or I'll moderate the hell out of these poll results. *evil laughter*

[TheShade1989]

Damn, I love This Place Is Death. That sucks. Anyways...Diamond Eyes (song) has re-grown on me again, so I'ma go with 976-EVIL this time. Just because it's not one of my favorites, and I have a LOT of favorites.

[bewareofrats]

I'm sure not only wasn't Diamond Eyes voted off first but it's still not the most voted for this round. 976 should be one of the last to go.

[IN WAVES]

Diamond Eyes and Prince are the only weak(ish) ones, in my opinion. The rest of the album is awesome!

personally, i prefer when deftones sounds like deftones, because i love that band.

i dont mind safe at all as long as its good.if i buy a new deftones record my first thought isnt "wow i hope they sound different this time". in fact, its the opposite

[Jacob]

I knew someone was gonna say that, and it's really a twist of my words. it's hard to explain exactly what I mean though. of course I want them to sound like Deftones, not like any other band. but what they're really good at is experimenting with their own sound. doing new things and still sounding like Deftones. let's take two examples: YSTB is, to me, a song that is very original and experimental, but still sounds very much like Deftones. it feels like a natural evolution of part of their sound. Mein on the other hand is also pretty original and experimental, but doesn't sound very much like Deftones at all. I don't hate that song as much as most other people here, but I still have a hard time thinking of it as a true Deftones song. see what I'm getting at? most songs on DE fall under the first category - they sound very much like Deftones, and one of the reasons I (and I'm under the impression that this goes for most fans) love DE so much is because it has such a classic Deftones sound. but Prince unfortunately sounds like a song I've heard before. it has nothing new, nothing exciting about it.

[jesusinabowlofdirt]

for me it doesnt have to be new to be exciting.i get excited everytime i hear the older sound because thats what i love.
im sure lots of deftones fans have this demand that deftones are gonna come up with something new everytime its record releasing time.im sure deftones themselves think so too.its just that i dont have that demand at all.

im a big fan of ystb,but not because its something new and different and never tried before, its because the song is good itself

[-cyppe]

butcher is prolly my favourite song from the album.

976 i like the least.

[ChickenNoodle]

Well I like all of the songs but I voted for 976 simply because Im sure its the least song I hear from the album. But to 976's defense, I really like the first and second verses of the song and the silent mellow part with chino singing. Don't grill me because I voted for it tho.

[Mr. Bisquits]

CMND/CTRL is definitely the Rickets of this album and I can't imagine why it didn't go first. Okay? I can't imagine.

[deftoolsys07]

yeah like y'all i think YSTB is one of my fav's from this album...

however...  thinking about the song structure of that song, got me thinkin of the other songs on the album...

don't they all have the same structure? kinda uninspiring.. intro < verse 1 < chorus 1 < verse 2< extended chorus 2 < breakdown < extended chorus 3 < outro...

maybe with an "extreme verse 3" in between breakdown and extended chorus 3...

i dunno.. that was just really the only reason this album didn't do it for me... other than that it's solid

[nintendoXO]

My vote went with Risk
