Adrenaline isn't the band Deftones are now, but it's what got me into them.  Elite, Rx Queen, Street Carp, Teenager, are all songs I usually skip through.  I wasn't a big fan of White Pony when it first came out, and never really warmed up to it.  Boys Republic should've been on the regular album
Boy's Republic should have been on album. Awesome song.

White Pony's perfect without The Boy's Republic, as good a song as it is.

I will say it doesn't hit the same flow as the rest of the album though, probably why it was left off.

Fair point.

But see, even there I can't agree haha. I think the way The Boy's Republic was brought to us couldn't have worked any better. When I listen to White Pony, I really don't want to hear a damn thing after Pink Maggit, as for the artistic experience and the whole "trip record" I mean. The Boy's Republic being issued on limited editions really feels like "Here's another sparkle from that era we didn't dare to give you before, for your enjoyment", and that's what I link it to when I hear it. It's one of their best songs hands down and totally feels White Pony-ish, but as weird as it sounds I don't think it has its place on it.
That's exactly it. Having anything after Pink Maggit dampens the impact of the whole thing. It's why I don't consider The Boy's Republic part of that album in the same way I don't consider Back To School part of it - the former's a much better song obviously but I can't think of anywhere it should go on the record. It's perfect as it is.

Ok - Lovers definitely should have been on S/T

and yes, nothing should follow Pink Maggit.

Back to School is pretty cheese. The irony is if there was one album it had to be forced added to, WP should NOT have been it

I don't consider Boy's Republic part of the record for the reason MrVesanique explained. I don't consider back to school part of the record because it sucks.

Boys Republic is fire

The best option, for me, would be to replace Back to School with The Boy's Republic in the BEGINNING.  I agree, nothing should come after Pink Maggot, it's such a fantastic way to end the album.  Back to School pretty much sucks, and TBR is an amazing song, and would even fit as an opener with that intro.  Somebody find a time machine...

Meh, I still don't think so. I ADORE Feiticeira as an opener.

Referring to reviews. Like legitimately would love WB to send download code in email as a way of saying thanks

Why, because you pre-ordered it like a lot of other people? Then there'd be no point in having a release date.

Feiticeira is a good song, but doesn't necessarily feel as "opener-ish" as that intro to The Boy's Republic does.  Just like Vesanic mentioned, TBR is definitely one of the best Deftones songs there is, top 10 easy, maybe even top 5.  I feel like it deserves a place on the album for that fact alone.

Of course this is all subjective, and an effort in futility, since that's not how it happened and it never will be that way.  Just trying to have fun and kill time waiting for the leak.
