I'm not sure what any of you people think of the Deftones, but has anyone heard this new album? I must say I am definitely impressed with what theyve come up with this time. I find that in general it is a little softer than their previous selftitled effort, but the emotion in some of the songs is (to me) incredible! I think after some more listens it could even possibly rival their masterpiece "White Pony". What do you guys think?

tis good, i find myself wanting a little more heaviness, but i think they did a fine job with this one. will it topple "white pony" as their best? prolly not, but that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable.

Roommate played me one song and I actually liked it. Sounding like it had a huge post-rock influence on that track.

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

yeah it's way different from their previous releases...hopefully they'll develop the post-rock sound a little more while still keeping it kinda heavy

Deftones are a band who i can't love or hate.. Some stuff is pretty good, other stuff is plain crap. I've only heard 'hole in the earth' so far.. And it seemed okay - not their best, but definitely not their worst. I wish they did actually do what the guitarist wanted to do for 'Deftones' - write a totally instrumental album.. I think that if they actually worked hard on it it'd be good.. But if it were just writing songs and just not putting vocals to them.. Would be a bit pointless

i personally think its pretty terrible... and i like the older deftones stuff

I think this is a pretty fair statement. There are certain songs which I feel no guilt in skipping. But when they're good, they're good, and that's why I listen to them.
