quick review, for the 2 people who care and already know this.
diamond eyes follows up sat.nite wrist nicely but doesn't venture into any new terrain. the unmistakable deftones sound is present in a mix of old and new elements from their entire discography. tracks will start off with heavy metal bass (think adrenaline) only to be overrun by chino's epic emo cry-singing. The atmospherics are brilliant and songs burst with creative ideas. This sadly also leads to 'all over the place' compositions which may not be to everyone's liking. In the end, this is an album that will easily stand the test of time like deftones' previous works.
3.5/5

lol, atmospherics.
I looked it up and it is actually a word! :O

b. The mood or attitude so created.

Not so hot for me. I tire of their tired one trick white pony.
Red Sparowe's new one's pretty good, Dillinger's album's a monster and been banging out a lotta Red Chord too.

It's nice but not as good as White Pony (of course) or even Saturday Night Wrist. The atmospheric tracks are wonderful though, as you mentioned, and it's cool to hear Stephen finally letting some of his love of Meshuggah come into the picture.
Didn't know there was a new Red Sparowes out! I'll have to get onto that, they're well wicked.
Dillinger's new one..... I think is a piece of shit. Completely pointless if you have their prior records, which are all better than this (especially Calculating Infinity).

Might give it a listen if it's anything like White Pony. Deftones are kind of hit and miss with their albums imo

I love DEP's early stuff but am slowly being convinced by their last two albums, this guy agrees

Why does everybody refer to White Pony as Deftones' best album? Around The Fur takes a big poo on White Pony. But yeah...the new album is pretty killer.
