Screams on rocket skates sound better than any scream on snw imo.

Also deftones lyrics have always been kind of shit I mean who tf rly focuses on their lyrics lol. Knife party? Go get your knife and cut me? Sounds like some emo shit but that song rules. Always listened to tones for their atmosphere and screams/melodies. Diamond eyes fulfills both the heavier and more melodious side of deftones I love. It isn't the best thing on DE but it's solid imo. Hole in the earth is their best opener by a mile tho

I wouldn't say the tm scream is gone, though it depends on which scream exactly we are talking about. I'd say he still does his inhale banshee-like scream here and there and has done it on songs like Royal, Goon Squad, Doomed User etc. but his regular screaming technique has definitely changed and not for the better.

However I have it from reliable sources that his screams on the new LP have some old-era Chino power behind them.



"Songs like romantic dreams, hearts/wires, pittura, graphic nature, mein, xerces, combat, feitceira, street carp, teenager, passenger, etc."



the only songs here that are subpar are pittura and hearts/wires



"Maynard blows"



imagine having this opinion

how can you not focus on the lyrics while chino does what he does. also LOL at the vox being bette than what he belted out on rapture and rats, in fact he outdid himself there. fair enough if you don’t care for the lyrics but that line you mentioned, only chino could pull it off while saying the line after as sensual as he did.

Maybe but they don’t beat it. I would prob put Summer in 2nd, Feticiera in 3rd and Hole in 4th.

Yeah, well hexagram does have Chino's most aggressive and insane performance ever so I agree based on that only it would rank no.1 but the other 2 aren't far behind and are both top 20 tracks for me

Diamond Eyes t/t isn't my favorite either. The riff is just so repetitive. Unpopular opinion obviously, but Prayers/Triangles is a much more interesting song even if DE t/t has the better production.

why does nobody ever talk about acid hologram and how it's the best song on this album? i feel like I'm always the one bringing it up

maybe I just don't frequent deftones threads enough to notice
