Really nice review Hybrid. Good work! :thumb:
But I would not give it 5, it's great, but not an album ABSOLUTELY everyone must have. But really worth 4/5 :thumb:

Album Rating: 4.0
I have this and White Pony, and I'd get their other two if I had any money. Anyway, when I first got this cd, I had convinced myself that I didn't like it as much as White Pony........until I realized that I had been playing it nonstop for two weeks. 4/5

'deftones' is a really good album 5/5
|
| |
I got this recently and liked most of it, its just with deftones they tend to make their albums drag because all of the tracks are rather samey. Still i think this album has some of their best stuff to date, and theyve definatley progressed

its an awesome cd. the deftones are a very different band with their own unique sound. mellow yet strong and powerful and emotional. however, it is definitely not for everyone, and on my first listen i thought the cd sucked.. but after a week i began to like it. yeah 4.5/5... not like it, LOVE it.

Not a 5/5. Some songs just aren't good enough for the album to be a 5/5. I mean, "Good Morning Beautiful"? "Lucky You"? "Deathblow"? These are the really dull songs on the album that weigh down the good ones... trust me, if they had done something different for those songs, it would be up there. I love all of the other tracks, however. A 4/5.
By the way, I would be pressed to say that "Hexagram" has nothing to do with politics unless you somehow proved it. That song isn't anything like that... it's a lot like "Moana", about a celebrity who can't take the pressure, and there might be a little suicidal lyricism. But it's nothing about politics at all.

QUESTION!!
My cd store has most Deftones cds for $10 AU. Can someone make a list of which ones I should get?
|
| |
In order of greatness:
White Pony
Deftones
Around The Fur
Adrenaline
That's my view on it, anyway.
|
| |
It's the correct view, in my opinion.
I like this album, but its not a 5/5. Minerva, Needles and Pins and Hexagram are all great songs..When Girls Telephone Boys actually scared me first time I heard it, though I love it now. But there are a few tracks which let it down overall.
EDIT: having read this review, I went to find my Deftones CDs to listen to, and discovered I've lost Deftones and Around the Fur

It's funny how I first thought "When Girls Telephone Boys" was going to be cheesy. But when I put the cd in, it gripped me from my throat at the very first riff of Hexagram (my favorite song in Deftones").. and released me with the screeching pick slide at the end of Moana. Of course, When Girls Telephone Boys was VERY different and far more better than what I expected. I was shocked, really.
Anyways, the cd is pretty good; I dislike "Lucky You" a bit, and if listened continously, it gets a bit bland.. but in the end, it's great. 4/5

White Pony does own all of all Deftones CDs. "Good Morning Beautiful" is actually one of my favorites on this record though Subtle. I wish they had made more out of their slow electronic song, "Lucky You." The comparable song, "Digital Bath" is so strikingly amazing that I'm especially let down too. The CD is a 4/5 or a bit lower.

[QUOTE=xdeadtomorrowx]I don't see why people like this band. They are so bad, I can't understand it.[/QUOTE]
How about you suggest some alternatives. You've been complaining a lot but not producing anything productive in your posts. Let's go.

Judging by your Status, you listen to a whole genre of music which, for the most part, I can't see why anyone likes.

Haha. Metalcore is cool though. Check out fordirelifesake.
Zao sucks though.

I find "Good Morning Beautiful" to be SO boring. It just doesn't do anything.... and the chorus is so bland. Ugh.
Now "When Girls Telephone Boys", there's an awesome song. That song kills. It's so noisy and utterly heavy, it just rules.

^Like I said, When Girls Telephone Boys scared the shit out of me first time I heard it, which is weird considering how much death/black metal I listen to. Partly I just wasn't expecting it, I think, after tracks like Minerva and Hexagram, but also there's something creepy going on with that track..like, it's so close to being normal, but there's something slightly sick or demented in it. It's a weird feeling.
EDIT: I think I'm spending too much time on my computer. I just looked out over my piles of CD's, wanting to find this one and listen to it, and my gut reaction was to press ctrl+f to search for it It's kinda like the first time I was reading a magazine, and looked to the bottom right of the page to check the time.

I'd have to say it's the vocals. Chino sounds like he's fuckin' lost it on that track. He makes the whole thing uncomfortable, which coincidentally makes it cool.
Yeah, now I need to buy this again.
