agh come on guys, i wanna hear it! I wonder if it has anything to do with Chi?

^Probably. But yeah seriously, my patience is starting to run thin lol

eh. in true deftones fashion. pushing back yet another album. it wouldn't be quite the same if it got it's fall 2009 release. cant wait.

The fact that they have TWO albums finished and are just holding on to them is soooo agonizing. I know Eros was shelved because of Chi, but I don't think this one has much to do with his situation. Deftones are notorious for doing stuff like this. SNW got pushed back by a total of like 15 months before it finally came out.

Wow that must have been annoying haha. But the wait makes it all the more exciting for when it finally does come out.

^it also raises expectations big time...hopefully they can live up to it. i'm confident they can though.

annoying yes

but it'll probably manage to be worth the wait

The 'tones always seem to annoy with their release dates, and changes etc.
But they've yet to disappoint me with any of their actual albums, so i'll hold out.

Ehh, it ain't that bad. I just hope it's good.

To be fair, we only found out about this new album (not Eros) being released before the end of this year only a few weeks back. Feb next year ain't that long away

no it's not. It would be nice if they'd release Eros next year too. Double Deftones dosage. Alliteration much?

I'd be suprised if Eros gets released at all tbh.
My thoughts are if Chi gets better soon and gets back in the band they'll probably just write a whole bunch of new songs. Me thinks the best tracks on Eros might just end up as b-sides.

Didn't they scrap Eros because it wasn't a fair representation of what the band was at the time?
Going back and releasing it later on would be kind of a step back then wouldn't it?

not a surprise

noooooooo =[ Oh well though, I know this will kick ass when it's eventually released.

Deviant: yeah, it probably would be a step back, because I do remember hearing that about it now that you mention it. They said they were going heavier with Eros and more experimental with the new one, so I'm very interested to hear both. Hopefully Eros sees the light of day at some point..

What is Chi's current condition?

Yeah, I think Chino commented on the heaviness by saying the album had a real "fuck off and die" attitude to it or something like that lol.
Maybe they though the whole heavy thing wasn't really suitable due to Chi's accident?
Maybe the new album is real chilled out and spacey/moody?

heard these guys were awesome. how awesome exactly, and would i like them

@NebSnurb: Last I heard he was responding to tests, maybe reflex tests?

Thats cool, after just recently getting into them I hope he gets well.

oh wow, this is shocking.

@EasternLight: They're kinda hard to categorize. InTheShallows bought up a bit of Glassjaw and some old school Chevelle for comparisons, which is as close as you could probably get. Bit of APC as well.

First time getting into them i'd say get Around The Fur first and work your way up.
Their best album is White Pony but if I had listened to that before ATF i'd probably respect that album less lol. Their first album Adrenaline is really good but it's more rooted in nu metal, so maybe check it out last?

Incompetence is not good. IE Jake Delhomme.

EasternLight: they're one of my favorite bands ever, so I would definitely recommend them. Also, I just took a look at your ratings and I believe you'd dig 'em. Start with White Pony or self-titled, then get Saturday Night Wrist and the first two records (Around the Fur and Adrenaline) if you like them.

i absolutely will. i trust yall

hmmm

The anticipation of this new record is killing me....

February of 2010

Just recently got back into White Pony, friggin' great album. Cannot wait for this.

I'm ready to put money on the fact that this will probably be a real chilled out album

damn...

Just got really into SNW, this'll give me more time to look more into the band.

NEEDS MOAR SHREDZ 0/5

This is still gonna be awesome. Rumor has it they will reveal a single in November or December. There is going to be a huge announcement by the band coming soon.

This annoying but oh well. To be honest if their claims of Eros being heavier is true I'm not that fussed about hearing it since their self-titled did the same thing and was disappointing compared to White Pony and SNW.

Well, i just hope it's worth the wait, i'm not even getting my hopes up for a febuary release

Oh man, their self-titled is my second favorite Deftones album after White Pony. I was disappointed at first too, but that album grew on me a bunch. SNW was a grower for me though too.. I'm always down with the chill AND heavy sides of Deftones.

I prefer they mix the two rather than a whole album of heavy.

I still haven't heard ATF, so I guess I can get that and enjoy it till february

push it back to forever who gives a f***
