Longtime casual fan here. Just wanted to chime in and say that "Rosemary" might be my favorite Deftones track ever, just based on the cassette rips. I love White Pony, but if I'm being honest, it always felt like they were reaching for something on that record that just barely eluded them... and now this song finally does it perfectly. I guess it's the whole atmospheric thing that they sort of drifted away from (slightly) on subsequent records. What really pushes this over the edge is the "sail with me... cross the empty sky" bit. It's that excess of gorgeous melody and atmospherics that finally perfects the style they established with songs like "Passenger" and "Change."

I think "Leathers" is very much in the same vein, but a bit more concise and radio-ready; I love it too. "Tempest" doesn't impress me as much. I've always liked this band for their sense of melody, and it's just not that aggressive or interesting on that front. However, I have very high hopes for the record as a whole and imagine it will serve an important role in the overall flow.

To be fair, as I said, I'm more of a casual fan and Deftones would probably rank somewhere just outside my top 10 favorite acts of the 2000s. Just thought I'd add that perspective into the mix.

I am a longtime hardcore Deftones fan (favorite band for 14 years and counting. Funny thing is, I agree with you on everything. Rosemary to me is also the pinnacle of their melodic/ambient side, especially the "sail with me..." part. That part is undoubtedly THE most beautiful part of a song I have ever had the privilege of listening to. I also feel the same about Tempest....though it has grown on me a bit after repeat listens. Thanks for posting though! It is nice to hear an opinion from an objective point of view.

ever notice Chino "sails" in a number of songs? always referencing sailing in some way....

chino reuses lots of words in his lyrics. the word lungs comes to mind

One weak, birthmark, crenshaw , mx, boys republics. Am i missing any songs?

rosemary's lyrics clearly state

"stay with me as we cross the empty sky
come sail with me, we play in dreams
as we cross through space and time come stay with me"

the other part that needs deciphering is "our minds bend and our fingers fold, its why we dream, i know"

[RaptureWS]

Yeah I see that now lol. Waaayyy tired and only saw Pms asking, thought maybe it came back. Oh well, won't be long on that track I imagine, hopefully the entire album!!
