Where's Vesanic? I'm sure he's got some opinions about this song!

Like its not like s/t at all?

I have a question for you guys: Do you think this tune is prob one of the songs that has Chinos hands all over it (by that I mean 2 guitars)? If this is just like, one guitar only, Stef REALLY surprised me!

SNW material. But song is fucking awesome.

sing blue silver

I'm going to reserve my fanboyism until I let the song really sink in but upon first impression, this is NOT what I expected and it's a nice surprise. Incorporates some elements of the band I missed on DE. I'm impressed.

i missed you haters.

welcome back.

the song is killer, deal with it.
Yeah no kidding, deal with it.  There's literally no pleasing some people unless it sounds exactly like ATF/WP/ST or whatever.  Don't try and deny it people.  We all know Deftones is going to change and elements from different albums are going to be incorporated so considering, you are very lucky to have a song like this.  1 listen and I'm in love.  Certain parts of the chorus sound a little mainstream but overall it's still Deftones.
Open-minded?  Here's some short videos to challenge your thinking:

It's 2 guitars and multiple guitar tracks.

Leathers has my favorite Chino singing style.

It's got the Danger Girl-esq crooning.. and then there's that beefy scream in the middle!

Stef is ON FIRE.. machinegun riffage in there.. awesome song structure

Abe destroys the skins as always.. fuuuuuuuuuuucking can't wait to hear the rest of his fuckin shit

Frank really layers that intro pretty nicely.. some subtleties in there

Sergio - Such a fucking tight sound man.. I think that's the most beastly bass tone I've ever heard on a deftones song.. no disrespect to Chi.. but SHIT that bass... He NAILED it

pretty standard emo/nu-metal stuff. but they're doing it well. great song. nothing spectacular and ground breaking though.

It always strikes me as odd that somebody would take the time to log into a forum dedicated to the fans of a band, take the time to find the threads pertaining to new material, take the time to listen to the tracks (maybe?), and then completely speak out of your ass about it.  If the deftones are emo then radiohead is now hiphop and the world is ending.

it always strikes me as odd when someone can't respect someone else's opinion and put words in other people's mouths.

I'm not dissing the band. to me emo is nothing inherently negative. I think Deftones have very big emo influences, but I guess that's because I have a different definition of what emo is than you seem to have.

my point was simply that the song, specifically the chorus, sounds very much like something that has been done before. even the vocals are a bit "standard" and do not stand out as much as Chino's vocals usually do. it's still good, though.
pray nightfall release me

I think it's one guitar plus samples from Frank

Nope. Two guitars. 100%. Chino is panned more to the right.

TheShade1989

HEEEEEEEE, I'm happy :D ah, they didnt let us down, they were just hitting us wen we least expected it. Wow, that intro and then...BAM. Wow. Almost had a heart attack. That intro is awesome though, definitely gonna be a more experimental, out there album. Oh, and the picture is kwl too.

pony_01

song structure may be standard for emo songs or nu metal, but catch the atmosphere of the song, definitely out of this world man! leathers is sickkkkkkk

Bifrost

holy cow that was dope... initial impressions:

the energy and heaviness, a perfect combination of the two... I havent heard the tones like this since ATF (yes I know that is said wayyyy tooo often but for the first time I think it rings true, I can see why Chino was gushing over this saying it was the most dynamic album yet, if the rest of the album is like this I can definitely believe it)

Chino's voice, is coming through very clear and even though the song is heavy as hell which is to be expected its still, dare I say uplifting, the combination of the lyric's and the chorus... it's awesome

I'm am really digging this

The mid-late 90s proper Emo right? Even Nu-Metal had it's good stuff too so I can relate to your post too.

at first listen it was a litte bit of a letdown due to the intro being so fucking awesome but man this song is killer. Unlike anything they have ever done really so, so,  good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I listened to it again, think you are right.

from_musings

it was alright.. i think i like everything except the chorus. nice intro,"chugga,chugga+scream"-verse was nothing new or amazing but still good, and i really enjoy the "Wear your insides, On the outside" part,although it's nothing special there either. solid song though- 6.5/10    8)
