That last minute or so of Royal is something else eh

Album Rating: 4.0

CMND/CTRL always been my favorite here

Album Rating: 4.5

Prince, 976 Evil and You’ve Seen the Butcher are the MVPs for me. When the album first released, YSTB was my immediate favorite. Now I’d give Prince that title. Underrated Deftones song for sure.



Agreed on the last minute of Royal too though.



Not a bad track in here though. Not even a just pretty good one. Everything is very good to great.

Butcher is such a vibe

Album Rating: 4.5

Such one. The title is perfect somehow. Doom laden, dread, implication of violence….its just a perfect song—and title.

Album fell off massively for me. There was a point where I would call this my favorite Deftones record, but these days? Idk to me Koi No Yokan has a similar sound but with far more interesting songwriting and a better track to track flow.



And it has Rosemary.

Album Rating: 4.5

Having said all that, I’m not dropping the 4.5 so that really just goes to show that “weak” for these guys is still better than 99% of the slop that hits the radio.



I’m gonna get so much shit for this but had Gore been given the same production job as this I would absolutely call it the better record, too much of that one just sounds… unpleasant. I would give my left nut for a proper Gore remix/remaster with either Terry or Nick at the helm
