Diamond Eyes Ranked
Listened to this 5 times straight and it's gotten better each time. Subject to change. |

Risk
I don't know I just haven't gotten into this one as much, still solid though. |
| 10 | 976-Evil
Chorus is great but the rest of the song is slightly unmemorable. |
| 9 | This Place is Death
Would be higher if it didn't end so abruptly, song feels incomplete to me but what's there is awesome. |
| 8 | Diamond Eyes
This one grew on me a lot, I like how the chorus is split up into groups of 6 and 5 but it still manages to
flow smoothly. Outro is badass. |
| 7 | CMND/CTRL
The riffs are like...Meshuggah heavy. |
| 6 | Prince
One of my least favorites on first listen, threw it off as a rip-off or "Rx Queen." The little nuances in the
instrumentation really make the song though, and the chorus is pretty strong. |
| 5 | Royal
The outro makes the song, maybe Chino's most powerful scream? |
| 4 | Rocket Skates
It's a bit repetitive but it's so awesome anyway that it doesn't matter too much. Chorus is ridiculous. |
| 3 | Sextape
I was expecting a dirty headbanger but instead got a beautiful shoegazey song. Sweet. |
| 2 | You've Seen the Butcher
Absolutely monstrous riffs in this one. Nice gritty verses and strong vocals from Chino. My ownly gripe is
the same as a few other songs on the album - it ends too abruptly and personally I think it could have
lasted about a minute longer without it being stretched out at all. |
| 1 | Beauty School
Marvelous chorus on this one, very dreamy song and a nice change of pace after the aggressive first four
songs on the album. I really like the drumming in this one too, nice and subdued but then there's a few
sweet fills thrown in for good measure. |
