Thats why overall with Hole In The Earth opening SNW and Rivière closing it, I wouldn't call it a sad album. It's more in-between.

:/ HITE is pretty high on sadness aesthetic too, don't you think?

Lyrically yes. But the general tone is optimistic to me. Plus when he says "this is the end" it can mean that he (they, his friends that "lack taste sometimes") dealt with the situation and that it's over. Or it can also mean he's gonna show them the finger and go make another TS record, who knows.  :P

Obviously, it didn't mean the latter. xD

to me none of the Deftones songs are sad. they can be melancholic, weird, sexy in their own way, but none of them do I consider being sad.

IN WAVES

The Boy's Republic, Pink Maggit, Deathblow, and 976-Evil.

Surprising, but ok.

I think a lot of earlier deftones songs have a melancholic quality, but I think it's the mix of beauty and darkness which makes them powerful.

Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event is a great example of this. Not sad, but reflective.
