wasn't that basically Diamond Eyes?

I don’t want another Diamond Eyes, too one-dimensional

Album Rating: 5.0

i agree with jesterhead but the heavyness of the album was great

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah Diamond Eyes can be a little too one-dimensional at times but it's one of the most perfect-sounding albums ever, songs just couldn't have been made any better

Album Rating: 4.0

Would prefer an atmospheric album, Koi no Yokan was just the right mixture imo

Album Rating: 5.0

I think Koi's style got a bit stale by now, they've been using this atmospheric side of theirs for 4 albums straight. I'd like them to go either full experimental, heavy like on ATF or dark and sexy like on White Pony

Album Rating: 4.0

I only have 3 albums of them: White Pony, Koi No Yokan and this one.

I think Koi No Yokan is perfect for december, I couldn't listen to it in spring or summer because of the atmosphere in it.



It's hard to say which is my favourite of those 3. I like the post-rock elements on this one ( for example in U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select,Start), I want more of that, and some really experimental songs would be great.

Album Rating: 4.0

True. The Post-Rock influence should be explored further

Album Rating: 4.5

The post-rock has been sufficiently explored on Team Sleep and Palms. What I really want is Adrenaline 2.0 but I'm fine with an organic progression from Gore.

I think the heavy riffs on here are much more creative than the djent worship on the recent stuff. And the experimental aspects of this one are probably the most interesting and the atmosphere is incredible. I want more SNW lol

Album Rating: 4.5

djent worship, what

It’s no secret that Stephen Carpenter’s riffs on recent Deftones albums are pretty djent-inspired

Gore only had a couple of tracks like that though so maybe he’s easing up on it

Album Rating: 5.0

diamond eyes and koi no yokan had them

Album Rating: 4.5

He's been using that style since like 2003. Kind of comes with the 7-string territory.

Album Rating: 5.0

i remember when meshuggah was a recommended band on the deftones page lmao



think i made a list about that in my early days

well i cant find it now, guess it got deleted or smth.

Pretty sure he’s been using an 8-string for a while now

Meshuggah has been an influence on these guys for awhile. It's most evident on Diamond Eyes.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah he has.

The s/t and SNW don’t lean on it in an obvious way at all. Diamond Eyes is the worst about and Koi No Yokan is too. It’s not really a bad thing but it’s there
