It is brilliant, through and through. Nick Raskulinecz has finely honed this band's strengths into the next, next level. Terry Date got some great records happening, but each of his albums sound like a mere collection of songs, as opposed to a cohesive album. And don't get me wrong, those songs and albums are incredible, but DE and KNY are albums. The transitional cues between songs are perfect for a thorough listen from start to finish.

The soaring vocals with much less screaming, vocal delays, Delgado textures absolutely everywhere, 8-string destruction, and the almighty Abe are all present here. Sergio's bass is so tasteful in there - it mostly follows the riff, but when it steps away, it is perfect.

The song structures are getting more experimental. Romantic Dreams is a great example of this, as are Rosemary and Poltergeist.

There is NO "weird non-Deftonesy song" in there as filler. Pink Cellphone, Teenager...since White Pony, there have been extra bloat in the albums that don't fit with the rest. Don't get me wrong - those tracks are awesome, but they seem like "comp b-side" material, like Pisces Iscariot from Smashing Pumpkins did.

Speaking of SP, there is so much shoe-gaze dream pop going on, but then Steph and Abe just kill you right afterwards.

This is every bit as ambitious as a Pink Floyd album, but even more sonically diverse. Deftones are absolutely killing it for every single microsecond of this album.

I will blast this album into my earholes until the very second of my demise.

Has anyone that preordered from deftones.com gotten their package yet? I haven't and when I try to track the package, it gives me an error.

I have the same deal going on here. I cannot login, go through "forgot password" or even re-register. I'm sure it'll be sorted soon

Yes mate, got it today by UPS

Still waiting on mine. Have you managed to download digital version from the bundle pre-order ?

I never got KNY in full as a digital download...just Tempest which was in my "Downloadable Products" section on my account on Stereoboard(or whatever the site is called) lolz

Same here. But the pre-order said full digital album too.

Also, was the lithograph in a tube ?

Sounds like a load of shit. Their previous albums weren't "albums"? GTFO here.

does anyone have any info on sales figures so far ? i have a feeling it'll surpass DE. I wonder how it compares to WP

KNY might end up ranking with Self Titled and SNW for me in the long run. We'll have to wait and see but I'm in love with it.

glad you enjoy it, i like it too i'm thinking opener and closer are somewhat weak, but i still listen to the whole thing without skipping songs

Swerve City is a great tune, but it could have been so much more! Maybe just add an actual proper verse structure? I dunno!

Thank you, that was 100000 X better than "FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE!@!&*^!*&!^&@!"

Thats the one thing I realized recently about KNY.  It will likely never contain my favorite deftones song, but it is a great listen start to finish with no skipping.

I had the exact same thought.

I skip Swerve City every time it seems. Just not feeling it. What Happened To You is growing on me though. Definitely weak for a Deftones closer but it works.

Yes mate, got it today by UPS

Still waiting on mine. Have you managed to download digital version from the bundle pre-order ?

I recieved an email today with a link to download the digital version. I ordered the package from their official site.

Yea, I got an email at midnight with a link to the digital download. Still waiting on UPS, but they normally don't come til the end of the day anyways so it's cool. Made me a little worried though when in the email from Deftones, I click on the UPS link to track the package and it can't find the shipping number lol.

If I didn't get the email with the digital link, and if I hadn't download the leak, I would be murdering cats by now.

Crossing my fingers that we get one of the autographed lithiographs bc there's no way in hell I'm winning that guitar contest lol.
