This is from the interview :

The devastating car crash in November 2008 that left Chi Cheng, the band’s bassist since 1990, in a comatose state was a rude awakening that forced the rest of the band to take stock and re-evaluate. Enlisting ex-Quicksand bassist Segio Vega, the band scrapped sessions for the album they’d been working on with Cheng. Titled Eros, it has gained a fabled reputation amongst fans, with song titles, (including Smile, Melanie, Dallas and Destiny) instrumental demos and even what appear to be complete songs surfacing online. Moreno though seems resolute that, for the moment, it’s not a project the band will be returning to any time soon. ‘Musically it’s probably 75 - 80% done and lyrically it was about halfway there, but honestly, I wasn't too happy with the material we had,’ he says. ‘Some of the music was lacking a little bit. I had faith it was going to come together and be great in the end, but we never got to that point. Once Chi had his accident, everything came to a halt with the Eros sessions, so the idea of going back to that batch of songs, finishing them and have Sergio learn Chi's parts just hasn't felt like something that we're interested in doing. If the record were finished and we were just sitting on it, we probably would have put it out by now, maybe even given it away, just so that people can hear it, but it would take a lot more work to get it done. But when we get together, we're much more fascinated with where we are in this moment, trying to create something new.’

He was pretty great at Rock am Ring from what I saw, so he still has it in him. Not to mention his sons in a death metal band as far as I know, so he probably can't sing.

I can understand if this isn't your cup of tea. But I dont get why people change their ratings with every listen. Sometimes you may just not be in the mood for an album.

For a long time I didn't know what to think of this album, but I think I've reached a consensus: The album is good. It's quite good, it's just I guess people were expecting something else. I was disappointed at first but I found it's strenghts and I've been listening to it for quite a long time now. There are some flaws, mainly the lyrics in places for me, but it's a solid album.

I agree Valkoor. There are some songs that really surprised me on this album, and even though it's clearly a Deftones album I think there are some really standout moments in it that KNY didn't really have. Take the breakdown at the end of "Phantom Bride". In a way it reminds of me of "Beware" from SNW. It's this beautiful song but then the ending hits and it twists into this heavy, writhing monster. It's parts like that show the Deftones are still making kick ass music.
