New Deftones!

[oneeighty]

I'm not too keen on Chino shouting either, but for some reason I just love "Hexagram"; it's such a frantic opener.

 

It does, as many of you have said, pale in comparison to White Pony.

[Shiri]

I like Lucky You from their self-titled. It's great.

i forgot that one. that's a sexy song.

Yeah, definitely.

[shade]

The new single is shit.

 

So is Beware the Water.

 

Their Self-titled was a good last ditch ever. but they are pretty much done imo

[heyrabbit]

I think it all depends on Chino. I don't know anything about his personal life, but he seemed to let himself go sometime around the white pony era. he got fat and started getting drunk all the time on tour. Maybe he was bored, uninspired, or maybe he has a drinking problem.

 

Even though the self titled mostly sucked, there were some wicked tracks on it. The raw talent is there, so I know he can write if he gets his shit together, or some inspiration finds him

[Shiri]

I heard he's really bad live.

[mgb7m3]

I've seem them live and yeah, if you're looking for a dynamic voice....it ain't there live. Kind of disappointing. But they do play with amazing energy.

[HoboFactory]

I heard he's really bad live.

Yeah, that's quite true.

[oneeighty]

Playing or singing? Or both?

[Hyphnip]

a friend of mine say them headline some tour awhile back, I talked to her afterward and this is what she said:

A: I thought you said the Deftones suck live

Me: Thats what I was told. why? were they good?

a: They were awesome live!!!

Me: Really? What'd they play?

A: I dunno, I've never heard them before this.

 

 

I laughed at her for that.

[HoboFactory]

Playing or singing? Or both?

I would say the singing is worse than the playing.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

Oh, Chino is horrible live.

[shade]

Depends really. He doesn't sing like he does on the albums, but it's still decent...plus it's a nice change.

 

Also depends how drunk he is as well and whatnot.

 

Either way...the new album is going to blow.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

So who has heard the new Deftones cd? I downloaded it but never heard it yet. Hole in the Earth is a spectacular song and if it's anywhere as good as that song, I'll be extremely pleased.

[Hyphnip]

I never download CD's before they're out, I'll hear it when I buy it.

[shade]

Someone upload this one, from the 3 songs I've heard...they don't deserve any money.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

Great record.

 

Overall, has the "big sound" of Self-Titled with teh beats from Team Sleep and the much needed angst from Around The Fur.

 

I can imagine the cd will only get better by the listen.

[HoboFactory]

Anyone seen that Hole In The Earth video? Chino's gotten even fatter.

[Some Random]

Anyone seen that Hole In The Earth video? Chino's gotten even fatter.

just saw it. he needs to lay of the tacos. and when did he start playing guitar? anyway...wasn't moved either way by the song. in comparison, i was blown away by the lead-off singles released off the last two albums (i never heard any singles before buying their first two).

[agentcooper2001]

Saturday Night Wrist may be my favorite Deftones record now. I love White Pony and Around the Fur too, but this one really works for me. Beware and Cherry Waves are awesome!

[cleric9999]

i saw them play in milwaukee this past summer. i've been a long time deftones fan, but when i go to a show i'm smart enough to realize that the band isn't gonna sound the same as it does recorded. go for the experience and don't get hung up on the fact that the singer isn't hitting the notes. it's deftones, not mariah carey. i was five feet away from the stage the whole show and it was spectacular.

[Shiri]

So I downloaded this last night. Is it just me or does it sound exactly like their previous album?

[Jarrod]

^I don't know. I couldn't listen to their last album. It annoyed the hell out of me.

 

I just downloaded their new album. I HATE HATE HATE Pink Cellphone.

[shade]

Figures the only somewhat experimental track is disliked.

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

Figures the only somewhat experimental track is disliked.

I think I see what you're saying, but I wouldn't call Pink Cellphone the only experimental track on the album. Perhaps one of the weirder tracks, yeah. But they're running amok with the conventions on a few other tunes. Beware, comes to mind, at least at the beginning.
