Damnit... and here I thought I really liked the album... I guess I was wrong

[Caín]

There's just no creativity in those guys anymore. Should've disbanded after White Pony.

[wheresmysnare]

had KNY in my car everyday since it came out. Its an alright record, i think the rock media overrated it with their reviews. When i see them next year I wont be hoping they play anything from KNY, except maybe goon squad just because you know chino will go ape shit.

After a few weeks with this album, I have to say it's not really that high up on my list. I'm beginning to see a big divide between their albums and I think the split occurred between S/T and SNW. I think it's a great record, but nothing on it has the power of anything off of the first 4 records.

You know what though? I'm totally okay with this. I'll still listen to SNW, DE and KNY because they're still good, and in the end it just solidifies in my mind the absolute brilliance laid down in those first 4 albums.

I agree. I like about half the songs on DE and like 3 off this new record. This new flavor of deftones just ain't for me. They'll always be my favorite band no matter what though.

Deftones will never win. When White Pony came out, people were talking shit about how stupid tracks like Teenager, RX Queen, shitty vocals on Elite, Digital Bath being gay, etc etc... Then they try and go back to basics and come out with S/T. People bash it because it isn't as experimental as WP. While writing SNW, Deftones tease people with the fact that they are going to try new sounds and they did! More positive sounding, spacey songs, but still have to include the typical CHUG CHUG MOSH PIT songs because the old fans kept complaining that they were getting soft. Then DE comes out and kind of go back to basics again, but still continue to thrive with that sound of SNW, but production is million times better! People still want more experimentation and then KNY comes out. New vocal style, way more keys and effects, consistent production on tracks to make it a cohesive album, yet people still fucking complain!

I love this album. It has a great balance of heaviness, spacey, droney, shoegazy, beauty, jump up-and-down in the pit kind of songs, experimental, etc etc. What else do people want? They're getting older and still making great music. 7 albums in, b-sides, covers, and we'll still get more from these guys. Yes, there some things I wish were different, but I'm not in the band, so what can I do?

Great way of seeing things. Everyone has their favorite things about their music, and they dont remake the same album constantly, so ppl will always have their criticisms or likes and dislikes, which is fair, but what can you do? They're making music they wanna make, they've been making music for a long time and they seem to be in a good place. I'm glad for them and I hope it continues for a long time. I'd rather them be happy and making the music they wanna make now, than them all go through hell and get fucked up to write another WP or ST. Those are my two favorite albums because they appeal to my own personality and my own life, but they're my favorite band without a doubt, and though this album isnt perfect to me, I do love it.
