I promise it isn't, because I have voted for Romantic Dreams every single time.

Why the hate for Romantic Dreams and Graphic Nature? I think they're awesome.

The press really set Romantic Dreams up for failure with the whole trap door thing ,the changes that are there are nothing new for Deftones fans

They didn't set up anything for failure.
They were describing a song saying that it has trap door like changes. Which it does.

The press built it up and made it out to be like an extremely unorthodox experimental song which got fans excited and then it turns out it's is just a normal Deftones style song with the same sort of dynamics they always use,They really dramatised the changes pre-release and then when fans heard it was nothing new I would call that a disappointment ,Don't get me wrong I like it but I don't get why it got that kind of attention it's like they hadn't heard anything but Diamond Eyes.

I wouldn't bash the song based on the ignorance of the press. It's one of my favourites on the album really. Then again, I've never given a shit what the press have to say about music. All I expected was a Deftones song playing with time signatures and that's what I got. It's a great tune even if you can't get past the "promise to watch and raise your babies" bit.

Yeah, I've been voting for Romantic Dreams since the beginning.  I gotta say, I think it's mostly because of the incredibly high expectations I had for it.  I was expecting something along the lines of Royal but bigger for some reason.  It's a decent song, but I couldn't help but have my fantasies crushed by it.

Gauze and Goon Squad are my next least favorite songs.  By the time those songs are over I feel like those main riffs have been driven into the ground, way too repetitive.  Graphic Nature is repetitive too but it's one of my favorites on the album because that riff is just so damn saucy.  That and the way it flows out of Entombed (my favorite) kills me.  Feels like one long song (though the whole album does).

Getting your hopes up is always horrible. Maybe that's part of why I'm enjoying this album so much. I expected it to be much of the same as Diamond Eyes and maybe even a bit softer and I was pleasantly surprised by what I heard. To me it's miles ahead of Diamond Eyes. Music press always has their heads up their asses so I don't pay a lick of attention to what they have to say about a song before I hear it for myself. Don't set yourself up for disappointment kids. Tell the music press to go fuck itself and interpret the music your own way. Maybe I just have an inherent distrust of music media. They never have any fucking clue what they're talking about.
