DO you think SNW is the most chilling album?

What makes Riviere stick out so much for you? I love it too but I've seen you bring it up a few times and seems quite an unusual pick. Cool though. I nearly creamed when I saw Chino teasing it live.

I think the melody is sad, depressive and at the same time, powerful and magnificent. You can hear it's a fat man singing, but you can feel the emotion in Chino's voice. The guitar chords just touch my heart, I can't really describe it. It's a deep, sad and beautiful song. The very last seconds of the song, when it's only guitar and Chino, brought me to tears a couple of times. When you just hear the very very last notes and Chino's low moanings, it's pure emotion.

I think the biggest problem the Deftones have had in making and sequencing records is accomplishing an overall cohesiveness from the first track to the last. Record flow is extremely important when attempting to capture an overarching mood across multiple songs. As far as Saturday Night Wrist goes, I believe the album does carry a more reserved, curious character. However, I believe the second half of the disc really lacks direction and focus. Personally, I think Saturday Night Wrist could have been sequenced better in order to fully capture the character of the album.

As for Saturday Night Wrist being the most chilling album, I would disagree with that as well. I think White Pony is the best sequenced or flowing album of the band's discography, with every song carrying an added shade of darkness as things progress. From "Knife Prty" to "RX Queen" to "Digitial Bath" to "Pink Maggit", White Pony possess an atmosphere that could be considered chilling and rather bleak.

White Pony though has "Digital Bath" and "Elite" right next to each other. Thats the only part of the album that I think is awkwardly sequenced. Your all soothed from "Digital Bath" then you go into "Elite" and its so loud and heavy, and really a great song, but not the right song to put after a soft song.

And also really the reason SNW doesn't flow very good is because they nitpicked all the songs they had, and chose a small amount of them, so thats why it sounds so disjointed. Its more like all of SNW, the finished songs and even the unused demos, form a journey, and the finished SNW, without the demos is like scenes from that journey, so it seems incomplete.
