[DEFinatelydeftones,fsho]

Btw, got my pre order (special pkg) today.... NO FUCKING POSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fUCK WARNER AND THE WHORE THEY RIDE!!!!!!!!! Anyone else have this sorta luck???

[pissedandpierced]

My least favourite album. It's gonna be a grower.

[illthrowROCKS@U]

though everyone seems to HATE Mein with a passion....

I got that impression of Mein, too. I've never had a problem with that song. I quite enjoy it, tbh. It's much easier to sink your teeth into than some of the more challenging songs of its kind on SNW.

And I fucking hate that idiot from SOAD's voice, so I'm glad it's not very prominent.

First, SNW is my favorite Deftones album.  There's nothing else as experimental and spacey in their entire discography.  It still has typical rockin Deftones in tracks like Rats!Rats!Rats!, Rapture, Combat, and actually Mein is one of them.  Then it has some of the most out of nowhere tracks that sound nothing like they've ever done and just BLOW ME THE FUCK AWAY (see: Kimdracula, Xerces, Riviere, Konami Code Song).

As for SOAD and Serj, I love half of their albums and have no problem with his voice.  At first it was tough to get into it, but after I got into their music I loved it from then forward.  S/T, Toxicity, and Mezmerize are fucking badass top to bottom..  The other 2 albums can suck it.

But again, Swerve City and Mein = VERY similar

yet again the tones have rammed cock in ass

[xToxin]

Nah. lets not get carried away now they haven't kicked ass since the S/T


i like SNW a lot and DE is good too but KNY is overall pretty terrible the lyrics seem like they're all the same.

Hey man i like emotional music and i aint findin it here. It sucks cause these guys were my favorite band. But it's like you know you have fallen off a band when you can't feel good about saying they're your favorite band anymore because of their new record, it's like you take them down a notch to just something you 'enjoy'.

[sooniletugo]

Im sorry you feel that way. However I believe the band has naturally evolved to this stage and the album is great. I feel it's the biggest effort at least since White Pony.

[xToxin]

Of course they've evolved to this stage. It's just disappointing to me. You know though I hear people make that White Pony comparison with every new album after it.

With the release of Koi No Yokan it sort of reminded me of Saturday Night Wrist. I love that album a lot now a days. It's really great and has a better atmosphere than Koi and if anything SNW has the atmosphere thing that they had on White Pony. Just a different mood.

Saturday Night Wrist is really underrated.

[sooniletugo]

No doubt, I love SNW. I'm not saying this is their best since WP and dismissing the other three since, I just feel like its the most cohesive and consistent as an album. SNW has some extraordinary songs but the album feels all over the place. It can be difficult to listen to cause of that and its something that stopped it ever being my favourite despite how special many of those songs are to me. On KNY, everything just flows.

My first thought is that you are one of those types that think something has to be "under the radar" in order to be cool like those idiots that try so hard to not be trendy yet end up being trendy. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though because you are intelligent enough to recognize this bands talent. I'm willing to bet that within the year you will be eating your words and will realize the error of your words. Just smoke a fatty and put on Graphic nature and Rosemary and it'll all fall into place for you.

[lozz]

Anyone else seen this T-shirt + CD package they have out?

I haven't seen it anywhere else, its not on their official merch site, and the picture is really small. Design doesn't look to great anyway. Sorry if its a repost.

[Munson]

hate to say it, but this album is fluff.

And 9 yrs later u are so bored u come here waiting still??? Seriously, u love something and agree they kick ass or u need a hobby or a job. Just sayin, it don't make sense???

anyone who thinks the Deftones dont have a signature sound is clueless....They totally have a signature sound, and its starting to become too predictable...Steph lays into some really heavy guitar riffs then Chino starts crooning over it...no more screaming, no more rapping, just Chino crooning over Stephs heavy riffs song...after song...after song.. and there's your post 2010 Deftones signature sound....

It's funny you mention those two. I thought Graphic Nature was the only bad song on the album after about 5 listens. It sounded repetitive and i couldnt wait to skip it after half way through it. But now after maybe 20 listens It is my favorite song and i got it constantly on replay. The parts "im surprised" and "I'm on fire" are so dam captivating. Now I wish the song was longer. Rosemary will go down as one of Deftones best all time songs.

As for the comments about SNW above. That is the only album i dont really care for. I rarely go back to it. I like beware, cherry waves and kimdracula but Rats and Combat I cannot get into. And this is from someone that loves MOS and Poltergeist etc.. the rest of SNW is Meh. KNY is much much better. The Slow songs alone... Rosemary, entombed and WHTY make this album better than SNW. Then you got Poltergeist, Guaze, Graphic Nature and Goon Squad which are all kick ass faster songs. I have overplayed Tempest and Leathers but even those two are better than any fast song on SNW IMO. The Only bitch I have with KNY is Swerve is too short and the RD Chorus is too commercial sounding. But as a whole KNY is great album that I could play all the way through and love. And it flows together real well with a WP like story that builds and captivates.

Amen. This album is beautiful. I can listen to the album in its entirety and its just keeps kicking ass. I highly reccomend smoking out and cranking it up. Amazing. If they didn't change up it would get boring. It would sound like old songs rehashed. IMO they've evolved for the better and I'm excited to hear what they come out with next

you couldn't be more wrong. White Pony was there FIRST experimental and spacey album. not only was it more experimental from what they were doing but it was also more experimental then anything going on in rock at that time.


i love Koi No Yokan as much as the next Deftones fan but i do like Diamond Eyes better.
