"The lyrics on this album are way worse than previous albums... and Chino isn't even really known for standout lyrics."



Stopped reading there.



Also Lovers is overrated as fuck.

This is so much better than Koi.

I feel like if this had been one my first Deftones albums I would enjoy it a lot more. As someone who had jammed all the albums preceding this though, it just rarely has any moments that blow me away. When there is a moment that seems to wow me, its usually followed up by a rather average one.



I'm also not really a fan of Steph's guitar style/tone or a lot of Chino's lyrics on here either. The only track I genuinely love every second of is Royal, and I think it's a classic.

Chino's lyrics are fucking ace here come on.



You know what tones album has average lyrics ?



Everyone's favourite KNY. Seriously that album is full of generic lyrics even though I still love it.



Prince destroys everything off of Koi lyrics-wise.

KNY has bad moments lyrically but it's highlights blows this album out the water for me.



I can't stand the lyrics on Sextape or Rocket Skates and Prince always sounded like a poor White Pony B-Side to me and the lyrics aren't great either



"Blow kisses, wave them goodbye

good night "



"Mindset of a Killer

With your gaze you paint the room

Blood red with your tears

Pour from the stage"



come on chino

Gmember what the fuck is wrong with the lyrics you mentioned ?

I'm 100% sure you don't know what the song is about even though you claim it has simple lyrics.



"What can I say

I think I had enough

I think you keep playing the game

Knowing that I feel sick

C'mon just say it

Just say you like to play

This game"



I can write this in 5 minutes tops.

I like KNY better than this but this doesn't have any duds while KNY has 1 or 2

used to love poltergeist but i don't dig it as much anymore. the verses are sick but that cheesy nu metal "THIIIIIIIIS TIIIIIIME" chorus ain't doin it for me these days

If anything the verses are nu-metally.



I don't see how the : "This time there's a common thread" is nu metal but ok.

"First 8 tracks are pretty godly, last 3 are a bit eh imo."



"976-EVIL" is my favorite on here and a top 5 Deftones track for me :/



Also, this is so much better than Koi. [2]

Isn't Chino's lyrics like one of the main reasons that Deftones are held in higher regard then like every other nu metal(esque) band?

I imagine Valkoor's reaction to the last pages of this thread is his avatar played backwards

I never said the lyrics are simple in Prince and honestly I think the song can be interpreted in more than one way. I just think the imagery Chino paints in the lyrics could be a lot better.



Poltergeist doesn't have my favorite lyrics either but I enjoy them more than the comparable song Roller Skates. Leathers, Rosemary and Entombed are the songs off KNY that really do it for me lyrically.

Well I think we can all agree that WP through SNW is Chino's lyrical peak, right?
