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.

yeah they're not great.. for the last couple of records,when a review gives a deftones album a 10/10 or a 5/5 ,it right away feels that they do so because they respect deftones as a band and appreciate what they've done for music historically, more so than actually reviewing the album. it's like they're fanboys helping out and supporting them. it's a little like that when they're describing songs too, they like to hype a song more than actully describing it a lot of times. some reviews are ok though

Romantic Dreams, this time, there's no place to hide, and your horrible horrible chorus will get what it deserves.

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

I think the chorus is genius.

after romatic dreams gets the fuck out, im stoping the voting.

im cool with the rest of the song left, i was cool with the ones voted before too.

im coming to terms with it though, more than ever.

is just the overratedness of it that annoys the fuck out of me.

I've voted for Tempest every time, so I feel like I should say that I just think it's the weakest song, not actually bad. Only Deftones song I just don't care for is Pink Cellphone.

sing blue silver

Swerve City is out so I'm just voting based on preference now. I like the rest of the songs but Tempest is probably my second least favourite. Only deftones songs I hate are Diamond Eyes and Swerve City. Then there's a list of songs I don't much care for but wouldn't say I hate.

Romantic Dreams = Worst Song

Tempest = Best Song
(:

I like Romantic Dreams and I am sad is about to be gone. This, most likely makes me a bad person right? haha Oh well.

is there anyone who dislikes the chorus of romantic dreams itself, but think it works well in contrast to the other parts of the song? I hated chorus snippet but have no problem with the song as a whole, i like it ok

Slacker

yeah the fucking chorus is what throw me off the most about romantic dreams.

i dislike it...a lot.

Dath

So it's not the watching or raising of babies for any of you?  :P

Too much truth in all of these statements.

Just for shits, Koi No Yokan by my order of preference.

Poltergeist
Gauze
Graphic Nature
Romantic Dreams
Goon Squad
Rosemary
Entombed
What Happened To You?
Leathers
Tempest

You'll notice Swerve City is not included because as far as I'm concerned that pile of shit shouldn't even exist.

damn man

why all the strong distaste on swerve city ?

its not their best opener by any means...but I find it a really good song by them.short but sweet.
Chino sounded great on it.

I also think the album flows pretty well ( even though i read roller derby / poltergiest was replaced with swerve)
shit i just love this album...I think its their best since the horse ride.

and Goon Squad will be the last one left on the island..

if it isnt then ...damn

Pretty much my thoughts right there I think Swerve is a decent song not the best but still good it's only 2:49 long yet it somehow manages to seem much longer very well done it serves it's purpose as an opener and gets the energy level up nothing more,Entombed and Goon Squad are some of my favourite songs on KNY aswell I fully expected Entombed to go there's alot of hate for the softer stuff on here,I think this whole polls redundant we already did the other one for best song it's going to be either Poltergeist of Rosemary might aswell just cut it down to them now.

I'm surprised Graphic Nature wasn't one of the first to go to be honest.
