I am so tempted to try to find this album to download, but I know I shouldn't! One more week!

[illthrowROCKS@U]

Absolute Gems -

Poltergeist
Graphic Nature
Gauze
Goon Squad

Rest is still good, if I were to make a "Deftones' Greatest" CD these would be on it.

[DAFTPUNK87]

Really don't get all the love for What Happened To You?. Cool for you guys though.

i love how what happened to you ends the album in a chill mode.....compliments the album

yep.. it rounds the whole album out very nicely. not my fav tho, but still a solid track.
Swerve, Polter, Gauze, Romantic Dreams, Goon Squad, FTMFW!

Basically the entire album for the mutha fuckin win.

Yeah im loving the whole album Romantic Dreams is so much better than the previews made out , entombed is just beautiful and Good Squad what a bolter most of the press people just sort of said it was average but it's amazing

[976-EVIL]

The Passion for the new Deftones is at a fever Pitch unlike I have ever seen !!!!

Waiting till 11/13/12...turning in circles....

I love Goon Squad a trillion times more now that I read the lyrics. Here is my interpretation.

I think he basically is saying that they were trend setters and everyone knows that.
He spend time perfecting music with a lot of contrast, cutting out shit he has outgrown, such as heavy/groovy music that people used to love about them.
Deftones have been crowned by many as leaders of this genre. They could care less and laugh when people fail trying to emulate their sound. Bands that try to copy them fade into nothing, two at a time. Their kingdoms fold.
But then they write a song like this with ease, no sweat. Designed for us, by him.
He knows people are going to copy them, again, like they always do. Watch the trends begin.
They won't follow suit, they never do. Either way, they will keep breaking in a new sound with us, his friends.
Are you in?

TLDR-He is saying they can write a heavy song like Goon Squad even though they aren't really that type of band anymore. And they can do it better than anyone else has or ever will. They don't follow trends, they set them.

Goon Squad!

cool theory on the lyrics. I love Chino's lyrics so much.. he leaves them open to be interpreted however the listen chooses.
Honestly, his lyrics are a big reason why I've stuck with Deftones for so long. Not only has their music never failed me, but his lyrics are always on point, even if he's slightly changed his writing style since Adrenaline/ATF

[DAFTPUNK87]

I'm about to smoke a bowl and take this baby out for a second test drive now that it's late at night..
A whole different vibe. This is definitely a late night driving album just like WP was, for me at least.

F*ck it! Can someone PLEASE hook me up! I can't wait. I just can't do it. I need it!!! lol

[IN WAVES]

And I've bought the album (with litho/shirt) already, just in case anyone's wondering. :^D

[RaptureWS]

F*ck it! Can someone PLEASE hook me up! I can't wait. I just can't do it. I need it!!! lol

Enjoy!

[RaptureWS]

For some reason I feel bad for 976-Evil. I bet this torture for him lol. Their is a 320 version that sounds pretty legit. Maybe DL and check it out tomorrow. Make it an early present to yourself I am sure you bought or will buy the album and YOU didn't leak it....so no harm done imo.

This album is excellent. I'm still trying to absorb it. It's so different that anything they've released and honestly any other band in general. I can't make a comparison with any other Deftones album at all. It stands alone in my mind. I can't even describe my emotions fully while listening to it. Almost a depressing feel for sure and creepy-ish. It's like listening to a soundtrack for a 1980's space horror snuff film. I can't yet say where Koi No Yokan falls on the scale of the other albums but it's definitely in the top 3 and could rise even further. Romantic Dreams, Tempest, Entombed, and Goon Squad stand out the most to me at the moment. I'm looking forward to fully absorbing KNY in the coming days and giving it a final verdict.
