The first song is horrible... I hated... worst first impression ever...

But the rest of the album is pretty good, nothing different from what we're used to

I agree...

Well, you give the album a 6 and yet you like the worst song in the album.

It is a typical/common/average/ordinary/habitual alternative (almost)emocore song... no power, no feeling, no memories left after hearing it... not the only bad song in this album, but the worst by far.

I guess the melodic side of Deftones, that used to atmospheric and hypnotizing, with bizarre alternative soundscapes (Deathblow??) is no more to be seen... At least their powerful passages still have some good quality of previous works.

forgive me but what you said here was complete gibberish

i think what you meant to say was that Diamond Eyes is the catchiest song on the album so we all have to dislike it like troo dark music troglodytes and somehow pretend that it has no power or feeling to it..

That's not what I wrote in any possible interpretation...

The ''Diamond Eyes'' song fails in every aspect imo: it fails in being powerful enough to cause an impression, and it even fails on the catchiness appeal (who usually turn out great on Deftones)... simply poor.

...''troo dark troglodytes''... cmon, that is just silly...

All right album, not amazing, not horrid, although a bit disappointed, but what can i say, deftones are getting old now...

The fatter Chino gets, the less I like the Deftones :/

I gave this album a 6 because (writing in your terms) i feel this album as a typical/common/average/ordinary/habitual alternative album. Almost nothing new and interesting to listen in general. For me it sounds like a bside album compilation of their previous releases. Its the only album that i dont like so much from them.

Royal is the best for me \m/

Liking this a little better than I thought, but not my favorite.

I am not a huge fan of the Deftones but I had to pick it up. At first listen it sounds a bit like a "heavier" Chevelle, which isn't a bad thing.

Pretty good album. Deftones, along with System of a Down, are one of the few alternative/nu-metal bands that I can tolerate and enjoy listening to

Well I like it.

This album sounds..*gasps* surprisingly good

Yeah kinda good album, am in love with this song "Diamond Eyes"

With the exception of 2 tracks (which will remain nameless) i really enjoyed this album and it's a huge improvement from the last one, huuuge improvement lol

I thought this was a very good album with some very good tracks it was a lot better then most alt metal for me.

Not my favorite

NOw Royal becomes one of my favorite songs...!!!!!!!

This album has such a dynamic atmosphere. The opening title track is short but sweet and 'Rocket Skates' is just mad.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

I don't think it would become a classic album like "White Pony" but it is great.

This is my favorite Deftons album for sure. Some people don't like it too much, but i can't find a flaw in a single song, and I have heard each song more times then i can probably count. I understand that some people do find flaws in it, but as for my take on the album, its perfect.

I actually really like this. Been listening to a lot of Deftones the past few days, which is something I never thought I would do...

Just started to dig deeper into this band recently and I finally ordered this album from Amazon. I'm glad I did that because this record is nothing short of spectacular!

This is one Deftones' greatest albums, second only to Around the Fur. and imo one of hard rock/metal's greatest releases in the past ten years. Every song on this album is breathtaking. Each song has its own style, emotion, energy and beauty. The tones, amidst adversity and sorrow managed to channel all that was going on in their life and translate it into Diamond Eyes. A remarkable feat and one worthy of the tag "classic". I absolutely love this band. They cant do wrong.

From listening to the first few tracks it certainly sounds heavier than their previous releases, and easily one of their more accessible albums, with catchier melodies, and overall one of their more exciting releases, that is only from first impressions though, eventually this album leads me to a high level of boredom, particularly from the midway point onwards, so not every song on here interests me I must admit.

The songwriting is ok, not quite at the same level as White Pony or other previous releases for that matter imo, but for the most part it's typically good for Deftones standards.

"Diamond Eyes", and "CMND/CTRL" are the only one's that really stand out for me with the rest ranging from average to below average, still nothing I would necessarily call bad though.
