Deftones

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

This is classic heavy, melodic Deftones to me. There is nothing over the top, nothing underwhelming, it's just them rocking the fuck out doing what they do best. They sound very very tight this time around though. This album is going to own.

Tempest has so much emotion in it; almost as if I can feel the music.

[PhoenixML]

Godamn this is a great track. I love that after all this time, Deftones are still putting out songs that sound like nothing I've heard from them yet. Cannot wait for the whole album.

I can't believe they are still that awesome after all these years. I really thought I wasn't into this band after Saturday Night Wrist and Team Sleep (I still hate this album). But then Diamond Eyes came out and they were still great! And then these new songs? Just god damn wow!

[Space Suicide]

Tempest rules!

Since this wasn't posted:



Also rules!

[Wretchedest]

Am i the only one on the fence about this track? I feel like a direction for the album can he kind of derived from the tracks right now and i havent de ided whether i love it or meh...

[richardp]

I do think the two new tracks are pretty cool, but I can't say I'm blown away just yet. Does anyone feel like it maybe sounds a bit nu-metal? For me Deftones were at their peak with their self titled, that had a lot of atmosphere, these feel a bit more standard. Then again it's early days, I wasn't blown away by Diamond Eyes and Rocket Skates as singles, but just about the rest of the album I thought was great.

What? No way, man. These two songs don't sound anything remotely near Nu-Metal to me, at all.

[LaneSax]

I prefer Tempest so far and yes I agree, I am not blown away either. good tracks though

[henryeatscereal]

I liked "Tempest" but i prefer "Leathers", there's something about the intro that's obsess me!

[Archive_Reports]

I think Tempest may be my new favorite Deftones song.

Album cover:

Soo fucking sexy!

[henryeatscereal]

I think the cover looks like Saturday Night Wrist without the Girl, haha

[Wretchedest]

I love it...

but hwat even the fuck is going on there?

[richardp]

Love it. Reminds me of what Radiohead's lighting rig looked like when they played Nude during their 2008 tour.

[Clownboat]

This is a good band that makes good music.

[eversonpoe]

the cover reminds me of Beyond The Black Rainbow (or at least the clips i've seen in the trailer)

God that movie was terrible.

The bass on Tempest is tasty.

Found a picture of tonight's setlist on the opening night of the tour:

Slightly disappointed that it's still essentially the same set as the Diamond Eyes tour, but at least they've peppered it with quite a few new tracks.

The setlist is ok but i agree it's very similar to the DE Tour and would it kill them to play "Beware" sometime???

[richardp]

No shit. I love Saturday Night Wrist and would love to hear a portion of the set dedicated to that album. Beware, Kimdracula, and Combat or RatsRatsRats. Is that too much to ask for?!

[AgentofChaos]

Yeah that set list still crushes.





SPOILERS*****



Agreed with the previous statements though; Needs moar ST, SNW, and even some more Diamond Eyes goodies (Beauty School, TPID). Maybe even 1-2 more Koi No Yokan songs... And that encore needs a serious update.

If I had my way I'd delete songs like Summer, Feiticeira, Digital, Elite, and get it looking something like this;

Bored
Poltergeist
Rosemary
Diamond Eyes
Rocket Skates
Passenger
Butcher
Beauty School
Drive
Knife Party
Rats
Kim Dracula
Engine
Fireal
WGTB
Leathers
Korea
Around the Fur
Change

Beware
Battle Axe
This Place is Death
Tempest

[cahernandez]

Tag spoilers, sir. I'm seeing them on Saturday and I'm avoiding spoilers. The only two sangs I saw were "Bored" and "Tempest"

[richardp]

I could honestly go with never hearing any of the Adrenaline songs live again. I wish they'd cut those down to a minimum and replace them with deeper cuts.

EDIT----

Just read a review of the show that said they performed Riviere before Change even though it wasn't on the setlist.

Ok, now THAT would be awesome to see in Kansas City.

[blackholesun]

Was debating seeing them tonight in SF but am feeling kinda sick so I opted out. Hope they play another round of shows once the album is out.

[Conan The Barbarian]

I hope they come to florida the next time around. I havent seen them since the white pony tour.

[Piko]

Edit: wrong thread

[henryeatscereal]

****SPOILERS****
Beware
Battle Axe
This Place is Death
Tempest



***END SPOILERS***

Oh man, that encore would be IT!

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Seriously, where the fuck are all the SNW songs?

[richardp]

I was playing around with the idea of what I'd prefer to see Deftones play on this tour and think I came up with a pretty good one.

Rosemary
Poltergeist
Feiticeira
Passenger
My Own Summer
Be Quiet And Drive
Diamond Eyes
You've Seen The Butcher
Royal
Beware
Kimdracula
Digital Bath
Battle-Axe
Minerva
Bloody Cape
Tempest
Leathers
Change (In The House Of Flies)

Korea
Rats!Rats!Rats!
Headup

[Gray Grimez]

I love head up too, but don't reckon they could do it without chi, his screams kinda make that track..
