I like the lyrics of this song.  I expected it to be more ambiguous and vague but this is nice.

And I would agree with Inkblades that Poltergeist is better chorus-wise, but the rest?  Leathers owns Poltergeist otherwise, going by the live version anyway.

[bewareofrats]

That's because it largely does indeed sound like Deftones.  It's only the chorus that's throwing you off.

People jus like to buzz. Ytube, Soundclouds... 95% is like "whoooo the greatestes fing EVA!!" ... like... ssyyeaahhh.... prob same reactions if it was a Cherry Waves like track.. people jus want to post shit on their Twitters and Cuntbooks

[Vesanic]

This chorus is so fucking atrocious.

[bewareofrats]

Ok let's not go overboard.  It's better than DE chorus but yeah, hopefully most of the other choruses on the album are more Deftones.

whats a "more Deftones" chorus?

[Playhouse]

actually its growing on me now

The chorus reinforces the verse for me so in that respect, the verse becomes the chorus. Might not have been intentional but if it was, it's good.

i wanna take that intro and make sweet sweet love to it. get it pregnant, and the grow old with it. I'm in love with it!

[RollerDerby]

I have a feeling Poltergeist is going to be much more aggressive than this song when we finally hear the studio version.

This.

I like how it flows right into and out of the chorus

[bewareofrats]

I'd say there are a few songs on DE that are just as good if not better.

As much as I'm enjoying this song, one thing does concern me about it: the chorus.  The chorus is definitely better here than on the song Diamond Eyes, but it's a little too similar in that it's so very commercial.  I quite enjoy the chorus, I just REALLY hope there will be a lot of variation in the choruses of KNY and there's not many like this one.

this chorus is hell not as catchy. thats the problem, its doesn't have the memorability the term "HOOK" implies. also the intro; just a half-step thing.. pretty dull.

That's the problem, DE chorus is even more commercial and poppy sounding.

so are you changing your name now it's no longer titled Roller Derby?

[TheShade1989]

This is honestly better than ANYTHING on Diamond Eyes to me. I don't like the chorus, though.

Does that mean you overall like the song, or you dont like it but it's an improvement on DE?

[Starz]

Not sure where the minority of hate is coming from. I think it's a killer, killer song and I feel so much more excited to hear the rest of the album than I did with DE when I first heard Rocket Skates.

It doesn't actually sound like a Deftones song, nothing I've heard before by them but yet it still has those distinguishable traits that we all admire so much. Atmosphere, emotion, aggression and intensity. Each member of the band brings something different to the table and you can really hear that clearly with this song. They are still having fun, they are at a point in their career where they prob don't give two shits if people like it or not. The music has always been about them more than pleasing fans anyway. It's just an added bonus that we seem to love the music they make so much.

People expecting Around the Fur/White Pony part. 2 will of course be disappointed.

[Corleone]

Initial reaction: This sounds like heavy thursday

[sing blue silver]

Frank is a boss on this song. He really opens the chorus up and gives it some nice textures (har har). That inhale scream on "Go on" is beastly and Abe and Stephen just annihilate the "wear your insides on the outside" part. I dig the chorus even if its nothing groundbreaking. Gonna be interesting to hear Chino do this live.

The verses kill anything on Diamond Eyes. To me. I don't know about the improvement...

[TheShade1989]

Why are ppl hating on the chorus? Sounds too poppy or whatever? It's not the best chorus ever in my opinion, but dont see what makes it bad. What kind of songs frm them have good choruses in your eyes, and how does it sound like a chorus frm DE? I mean, it cant be the switch to singing, because he's done that in a hell of a lot of songs, so what else, just the lighter feel to it?

Only if you change your name to Princess Bananahammock.
