yes yes, the lack of oxygen is making my opinions incorrect.

GRAPHIC NATURE.

So boring...

[ominousnimbus]

Tempest is a fucking piece of shit. Probably the worst track they've ever done, and mercilessly long to boot. Seeing it losing out to Entombed this round is probably skewing my perspective, though.

Glad you guys are doing all the deciding for me.  I'd have a pretty hard time picking between any of the tracks besides Leathers, so I can just sit here and keep voting for that.

You must not be thinking clearly.  No sensible Deftones fan could put Tempest below a song like Pink Cellphone.  Not only is it better, it is a great Deftones song.

And theis, Graphic Nature is more than meets the eye.

Oh, and everything about Romantic Dreams is great except the chorus which isn't that bad at all.

[ominousnimbus]

lol... Pink Cellphone doesn't count, as I consider it an interlude and not a song. Discarding it, I stand by my statement. There's nothing "classic Deftones" about Tempest... it's pure filler with no aggression, no melody, no charm or atmosphere... nothing. Lucky You is similar, but it's at least more unique (in the realm of rock music in general) and ends a lot faster.

BTW, I didn't think Graphic Nature was much different or better at first, but it's grown on me a lot. Tempest is so bad that I don't just skip it because I wore it out... I stopped listening to it the day after they posted it this summer as I'd already had enough.

[ominousnimbus]

On a different note, I must've slipped into some alternate reality because as I remember, just 2 weeks ago everyone was calling Entombed the album highlight when it first leaked. Now it's about to get knocked off in the first three picks? 

[samson simpson]

luv them all

but Tempest must face the gallows

[versatile]

Tempest is the best song on the album.

[DJR]

ermm none? thats right haters...NONE deserve to go

Fuck its one of the most interesting songs theyv done. Such an amazing vibe from that one.
I love deftones fans 

[epistaxis]

This is a tough one. I picked Leathers because I disliked it at first listen and after 1000+ listens later it still hasn't grown on me.
I must admit that none of the songs on the album has given me goosebumps yet. Gauze came close.

[There Will Be Blood]

Swerve City.... Not impressed with it at all.

[GrandeJano]

Definitely none on KNY. The only song in deftones history that has to be eliminated and buried six feet deep is mein.

Lmao ..mein is an amazing song imho ..i absolutely love it.. but oh well.. oh and i chose tempest.. i didnt ware it out its just that..theres really not much aggression ..love the guitar work but mehh.. and the chorus is ok .. and btw people Romantic Dreams is one of the best songs ive ever heard and swerve is great as well .. hate to see it loose this round but oh well :3

[Slacker]

fuck mein. in any case, this "hate the song" thing, gets old.

[Playhouse]

The lyrics for swerve are so sick.
A horse whisperer with schizophrenia. The oh's everyone hates, to me is like the strange distant voices, from the schizophrenic fucking up the horses.

[GrandeJano]

oh and i chose tempest.. i didnt ware it out its just that..theres really not much aggression ..love the guitar work but mehh.. and the chorus is ok ..

sorry but the chorus is nothing against the verse! that groove with those vocals and especially the pre chorus riff combined with that simple but "on the spot" bassdrum pattern is one of the best things theyve ever done (groovewise).

[Vesanic]

Oh, look, WHTY isn't here anymore.
