I'm really digging than cover.

[rufas]

Absolutely love the cover, best cover since SNW IMO

The Diamond Eyes cover is lame - anything would have been an improvement on that.

Loving the new songs, Leathers and Rosemary especially.

I reckon we can expect more release info within the next week - i.e. formats, bonus cover songs, etc.

I like the cover. Looks like it was taken in a bar or club, a place where you might meet the love of your life which the the phrase Koi No Yokan kind of suggests. I like photo's that allow you to interpret stuff in so many different ways and Deftones are no strangers to that.

[dictatesofreason]

LOL troll.

When i first glanced a t the cover it reminded me of stars kind of lik the ones in the SNW backgrounds which was awesome i miss that spoacey art stuf.. shit i wish they do a soundtrack for a scifi flick thatd be cool kinda like what daft punk did with tron. theyd get mad media hype and a whole lot more advertsing but back on topic given time im sure the album cover will grow on me  at least.

Cover is Rad.  Tempest has really grown on me in the last few days.  Its a great jam.  So pumped for this record.

Looks like I'm pretty much the only one who was disappointed by Tempest. Not a terrible song, but nothing worth all the ass kissing it's getting. You don't have to like it just because it's a deftones song, which is the vibe I get from a lot of people. It just sounds nothing like them, not in a good way. Leathers on the other hand is fucking great.

I seriously hope that isn't the fucking cover. What the fuck does some blade runner illuminati bullshit have to do with the deftones or the album title? FFS atleast lose the stupid fucking triangle.

KNY will sell 65-70k opening week 8)wat y'all think???

[dictatesofreason]

ill take that bet

[laurapalmer]

Tempest musically reminds me alot of the unused SNW demos. Not similar to any of them but just in overall feel. Anyone else get that vibe?

No, your not the only one, I have been disappointed with both songs I've heard. Like the cover thugh, much better than Diamond Eyes rush job.

I cant speak for everyone else, but I never like their songs just because it's Deftones. I do, however, love pretty much every song they've made except for a handful. They just make brilliant music to me that I've never consistently disliked. People have different opinions, that's all. It sounds very different for them, or at least, it doesnt sound like anything they've made in a long time, but personally I feel like it does still contain their core elements. That's what I love about this band, they take influences frm their past albums, go down some new paths, yet still keep their sound. I love Tempest and Leathers, but I'm really limiting how much I listen to them. With DE I'd listened to Rocket Skates quite possibly 100s of times before DE came out. It didnt ruin the album for me or anything, but overplaying anything risks getting bored.

About the album cover, I love it. I've never been much of a fan of any of their album covers before except for SNW, and I can see the similarities in terms of font/layout, the way there seems to be multiple images, etc. I just wish I knew what the fuck I was looking at.

All I know is, I love what I've heard, I love the fact that many are longer songs, I love that Entombed has Stephen playing differently, and I love that it they appear to be going in a more complex, "out there" direction than DE.
