Diamond Eyes Elimination (Round 5)

[alvarezbassist17]

Couldn't tell ya.  I think it's one of their more representative songs of their overall style as well.

What the fuck happened to This place is death!? I love that song.

[Alxn]

CMND/CTRL

[There Will Be Blood]

What the fuck happened to This place is death!? I love that song.

Im really getting sick of the chorus' in beauty school,

im not sick of it, cause... i dont listen to it. i always press skip just before the chorus kicks in and enjoy prince insted.its a winning concept.

...

you must confuse it with some other track, risk is absolutley amazing.

u skip beauty school?  do u have an issue with slower deftones songs?  do u skip digital bath too? 

[Inkblades]

I'm surprised Rocket Skates has made it this long.

[chick de la lynch]

I wonder why the fuck people who selected Royal listen to Deftones.

Because it is one of their more unmemorable songs. Every time I listen to it I have to think about what song it is. I like Deftones when they get experimental. I feel "Royal" is too predictable.

All the great tracks are getting eliminated. "Diamond Eyes" is great and "976-EVIL" is fucking fantastic. Don't get me started on "Beauty School"!

Sextape has got to goooo

[defskull]

I don't understand the opinion everyone has on Risk.  Everyone seems to think it's just okay.  I think it's a highlight.  The only song that I don't think fits on the album is You've Seen The Butcher but it's going to make it for at least another round.  Lame.

Risk is the epitome of a Deftones song. I think Sextape sounds the least like them. It's not a terrible song, but not what I think of when I think of Deftones.

Risk is the shit. Sextape def has that Chino Team Sleep feel to it but i really dig it. Played by guitar for atleast an hour to that song when i first heard it on youtube lol

[djsoulglo]

Sx- I agree. Team sleep is the shit though!

[SX King]

Sx- I agree. Team sleep is the shit though!

No doubt i was just listening to their album today.

[tarkil]

cmnd ctrl, but that starts to be quite tough now....

[bewareofrats]

I voted Sextape this time. It was between that and CMND/CTRL.

[snw9]

you've seen the butcher has to go. thought creatively its something the band has never done. sorry

Rocket Skates

[pinkmaggit]

I voted for sextape but I'm regretting it now honestly.
It's a great track - the guitar intro is beautiful and it definitely gives the album some breathing space.
It does sound like something you would expect to find on a Team Sleep album though.
Of the 2 slow tracks (this and Beauty School) I think Sextape is much better.
The album gets off to such a good start with such an aggressive pace and the Beauty School ruins it a bit for me.
It Beauty School was left out I'd probably appreciate Sextape much more because it would really have more impact after all of the more aggressive tracks.
My biggest critism of Diamond Eyes is that it gets a bit slow and boring and loses its aggressiveness after Rocket Skates.
There should have maybe been another faster track towards the end IMO - I find myself listening to the first half of the album much more than the 2nd.
