Yeah, Brick, I like their ballads more too. This is great though, sounds like Sound of Madness.

Aaaaand... commence 100 more comments of comparison to Deftones-Diamond Eyes.

This band is very expendable, replaceable by about, no less than 1000 other bands.

It's not the fact they're on the radio that bothers me, I just call this variety of radio friendly rock 'radio rock' and by concidence strongly dislike it.

The article should've been titled "Shinedown release Diamond Eyes". I can guarantee you even MORE people on here would've been pissed off if you worded it like that.

Which is why I didn't name it that. Like I need 100 comments of "OMG DEFTONES ARE AMAZING SHINEDOWN SUCKS THEY ARE NOT WORTHY TO HAVE A SONG CALLED DIAMOND EYES".

But good for you guys that hate anything and everything to do with radio rock and post it in any threads relating to a band in the genre. You make the site proud.

I'm not going to hate on Shinedown or this song, but seriously what are they thinking? That isn't just a Deftones song; it's their freakin' album title!?!?!?!?!?!?! Are they trying to get it linked/compared? Riding coattails?

I don't understand! The boom-lay thing does do a nice job of separating the two though.

They definitely should've chosen a different title, just to avoid the comparisons.

doesn't really make any sense unless you're trying to say that Shinedown is an essential listen

Well, the song is in "The Expendables", that's the joke. I know it's a lame pun, but I don't really care. It catches your attention.

it's not a joke though, it doesn't make any sense because Shinedown sucks and is not essential in the slightest

Shinedown had promise with their first two albums. Now they are way too comfortable with their power ballad crap. I saw them live and all the singer did was preach and it did little to incite the crowd.

on a second listen, i still think this is good, but it is structurally identical to the song "the sound of madness"

-heavy as fuck intro
-the verses sound eerily similar
-the choruses come in at the exact same times in relation to the verses
-the choruses sound the same

kind of reminds me of linkin park and how "new divide" basically was "what i've done"

There's no way I am not going to turn off the Locust to listen to another bad Shinedown song, and that should say something.

Not really. They were atleast a little less conventional than the stuff they're churning out now.

That was more forgivable because "new divide" was meant to be a sequel to "What I've done", as they were soundtracks to two films in a series

anyone bitching about how they named their song diamond eyes is retarded. back in 2005 shinedown used the lyrics "Trade yourself in for diamond eyes" so now should i start bitching that deftones stole that from shinedown? no because its stupid to bitch about something like that. neither shinedown or deftones came up with the term diamond eyes, but shinedown was the first to use it.
