Deftones Megathread, All Things Deftones

I thought Koi No Yokan was meh the first couple of listens to be honest, but over time I began to love it hahaha Doesn't the album name mean love not at first sight?

... Doesn't the album name mean love not at first sight?

Ha! Good one!

 

[bobsbarricades]

I will try! I've gone through it at least a dozen times by now =( Maybe one day it'll click!

 

[wankerness]

My reaction on first listen was that it was by far their best since White Pony. Later listens didn't improve it any further! It's a pretty in-your-face album, not many subtleties, it probably just isn't for you!

Daimond Eyes and Koi no Yokan were both solid, I think there was a lot of filler and duds on Saturday Night Wrist

This is from last month but a good read to keep the thread warm...

Awesome cut/video from Koi No Yokan

 

[Korbain]

I love Saturday Night Wrist, prolly my second favorite behind Around The Fur. Theres not a bad Deftones album tho, imo.

So true.

You know i did give SNW a lot of time but i have been revisiting it recently and it is really growing on me.

 

[Daf57]

Love SNW! Altho I think it was a very disjointed time for them, big rift between Chino and the rest while tracking that album. There are some lines in Hole in the Earth to that effect...

I hate all of my friends
They all lack taste sometimes

But the results were awesome as usual.

^Holy shit, look at this guy!

Found this the other day, any Deftones fan would enjoy I think. I've always loved this version of this song. Not 100%, but it seems like they filmed this the same time as the original video.

 

[ChubbyEwok]

Is it just me or is their self title album a bit underrated? I was just listening to it yesterday and enjoyed it a lot more then I thought I did haha I don't know, it could just be me but I dont hear too many people talk about that album.

 

[flavenstein]

I think self-titled is one of my favorites. I love the guitar tone and all of the songs sound really frustrated (that's the best way I can describe it, I don't know).

But I don't think this is common; Moana is one of my favorite songs and everyone seems to hate on it a lot (as much as one not-so-popular song can be hated on)

 

[ChubbyEwok]

Yeah it's definitely one of my favorites as well, right after Diamond Eyes.

 

[kevdes93]

self titled may be my favorite, followed by koi no yokan but i really love them all pretty much equally. SNW was good but had a couple duds imo, but at the same time has some of my favorite tracks like beware, xerces and kimdracula
