Love it.

Caine Walker · 02-23-2010, 02:14 PM

fucking awful.

putting the lyrics right up front like that seems unwise

Caine Walker · 02-23-2010, 02:29 PM

it's like that dennis leary truck commercial.

Catherine Wheel · 02-23-2010, 07:06 PM

Sounds like they are going back to the Around The Fur days. I kind of like it.

PkPhuoko · 02-23-2010, 11:49 PM

yeah best I've heard from them since white pony.

info on the new song and album

Diamond Eyes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deftones wanted to make an optimistic record, as opposed to the dark and angry album they just finished.[8] Diamond Eyes was recorded in two months with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, Stone Sour).[9] Deftones avoided using Pro Tools on the album in favor of writing songs together as a band and practicing them "a million times 'til they were perfect" in order to achieve a more raw and "personable" sound.[8]

After dealing with the tragedy surrounding Chi Cheng's car accident, Deftones wanted to create an album with an overall positive and optimistic vibe. Describing the band's state while writing for the album, Chino Moreno stated, "Our inspiration and unity as a band is stronger than it has ever been before and we needed to channel that energy into our music."[13] The songs on the album do not feature songs about complaining, hurting, or how "life sucks" – a common lyrical theme Moreno has noticed since the early 90s.[8][14] Moreno describes the overall theme of the album as a "positive zest for life," and also having "a fantasy vibe" similar to White Pony.[8][14] The song lyrics for "Rocket Skates" contain "beautiful yet violent imagery," and was compared to the Deftones song "Knife Party" from White Pony.

Liked pretty much every song on Saturday Night Wrist better but then again that was a pimping album.

bardy · 02-24-2010, 01:25 AM

positive vibe? GUNS KNIVES RAZORS!!!!!!!

that being said, I like the song. The guitars a a bit too harsh for me but I still like it---I'm just not an angry teenager like I was when I was obsessed with Adrenaline/Around the Fur.

Also--GO SAC TOWN!!

TuralyonW3 · 02-24-2010, 01:40 AM

man they hit a creative funk a long time ago

cocksure · 02-24-2010, 06:06 AM

yeah i would say shortly before they formed a band

cocksure · 02-24-2010, 06:11 AM

cardiac · 02-24-2010, 06:45 AM

In hindsight, I would've prefered to hear it without reading the lyrics. That "GUNS RAZORS KNIVES - fuck with me" chorus is a bit cringeworthy. Chino's in his late 30s now, right?

That being said, I still really like his voice. That "You're red / soaking wet" bit sounds especially nice.

You Said · 02-24-2010, 06:59 AM

If you have guns you really don't need the razors and knives.

Catherine Wheel · 02-24-2010, 11:59 PM

My only real complaint is that they seem to have run out of ideas with this one. It's nothing new. I was hoping that like Incubus they would eventually break out of nu-metal / hard rock and really explore other directions for more than a couple of songs on each album.

White pony was their last great album.

Although I did like Saturday Night Wrists.

Yep, but the s/t had some nice songs as well, Lucky You, Bloody Cape... I find the last 2 albums slightly boring.

I hope a second Team Sleep record comes out sometime as well. That album was amazing.

Catherine Wheel · 03-04-2010, 06:40 PM

I agree. Team Sleep was good. I think in general Chino's voice is better suited to softer sounding dream-pop stuff like that. It would be nice to hear him once again branch out like that.

guns for show
knives for a pro

Dogfighter28 · 03-09-2010, 12:41 AM

i feel like people who like team sleep would like saturday night wrist the best if they actually listened to it

russian iha · 03-15-2010, 03:23 PM

SNW was the closest thing to MCIS sound any band could achieve. Sad that they went back to this kind of sludge.

I like the vocals though.

No. I loved the Team Sleep album. SNW was good but slightly half-assed and confused.

Catherine Wheel · 03-15-2010, 07:52 PM

Saturday Night Wrist was kind of like their Hail to the Thief. And White Pony is their OK Computer.

Self-titled was more of a HTTT vibe (back to rock/lots of guitars/mostly meh filler songwriting).

SNW is a lot more like In Rainbows - intimate arcane record with lots of personal mood swells and mostly ambient sound.

Eulogy · 03-16-2010, 04:06 PM

White Pony may have been their creative peak, but they can still sure as hell rock the fuck out.

In the middle of the song right now and enjoying it.

Eulogy · 03-16-2010, 04:11 PM

Diamond Eyes is neat too.
