Diamond Eyes explicit_lyrics

Great album

Awesome band and album! The vinyl version sounds great!

It’s to die for

Great CD.

Deftones makes some music that has to grow on you I feel. This album is solid..has some meh tracks but I listen to albums beginning to end numerous times to really feel the band out. I do wish the two bonus tracks were available on cd and not just digit. Worth the buy for the price!

My son love it

I own all of the Deftones albums beginning with "Adrenaline" up to this most recent album "Diamond Eyes", and I'm happy to say that it is stronger than their last album "Saturday Night Wrist". I personally was introduced to the Deftones with "White Pony" when a friend suggested I give them a try. The only point I wish to make is that my later introduction may skew what I expect out of the Deftones to the "White Pony" sound than say "Adrenaline". That being said, I am a big fan of their first two albums as well. I must say, I've been pretty disappointed with bands as of recently. Many of the solid groups I grew up listening to put out album after album that slowly signified the decline of an era. Sure I'm biased like every other reviewer out there, and I have fond memories of the music and style that I was introduced first to, but overall I feel I'm pretty open to change and growth. This is definitely not "Adrenaline 2" or "Around the Fur 2" or "White Pony 2" as some people claim (or demand) but it is definitely a Deftones album. When you get that--not only with this band but every band that has ever existed--you can really learn to appreciate it. The good news, as I said, is that this is a Deftones album. It's got the core of what makes one: those harsh sounding guitars, those groovy drum beats, and lyrics that drive you to understand the message, sung with emotion and unconcern for direction. However, as with every Deftones album it is always those elements that make it so hard to digest at first. This is a CD you need to play through once entirely to first get a sense of what it is about, and then on repeat listens you can start to pull out the gems. It reminds me of when I first listened to "White Pony". I knew there was something so unique about it, but no one part was grabbing me. It's after you can start to predict Chino's sometimes unusual vocal melodies and pacing that you realize how catchy the songs are. I was somewhat concerned when I heard the first single "Diamond Eyes" off the album. That song by far is the most commercial and outwardly catchy song that I believe the Deftones have ever created. No I don't feel they "sold out" with this song but its almost so catchy that it's corny. It's a different Deftones than I'm used to but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I have nothing against the song as I listen more to the album, but I frequently skip over it to songs like "You've Seen the Butcher", "Prince", and "Risk" which I feel represent some of the real highlights on this album. If you give these songs a chance they will get stuck in your head. The only real thing I do miss on this album is those real heavy uptempo tracks like Hexagram or Korea. I understand why some people are disappointed by their absence, but I get it. They are getting older and their music is starting to chill like Korn did and Incubus did. You get older and you don't have that same kind of angst and hate for the world as you did as a kid. I personally am glad they were able to move on from that stage. Doesn't mean they can't throw a heavy one in there, but I get that slow and emotional is where they are ending up. It brings me back to "Saturday Night Wrist", which I feel was the weakest of their albums so far. It didn't have the raw straight-forward sound of "Adrenaline", the more polished yet still rocking sound of "Around the Fur", the complexity and otherworldly sound of "White Pony", or the hard hitting sound of "Deftones". It was kind of just slow and mediocre. I feel this album takes that new introduced sound in "Saturday Night Wrist", adds some Team Sleep sort of flavor, and actually produces real stand out tracks. If you liked their first four releases, and were maybe iffy about "Saturday Night Wrist", I think you need to give this one a chance. If it doesn't get stuck in your head, then maybe you and the Deftones have hit a fork in the road.

08-2011 was a rough time for me, and this album was with me thru it all. It's hands down my favorite Deftones album and I finally have the vinyl!!! Every song is perfect. That's all I'll say.

Este vinil lo tenía en mi wishlist desde hace algún tiempo pero nunca estaba disponible. Cuando lo vi disponible y a menos de 500 pesos pensé que sería una reimpresión o versión standard. Cuando llego noté que la caja venía un poco doblada pero cuando vi que era la versión especial blanca, el daño de la caja no me importó. A mi gusto el segundo mejor álbum de Deftones. Una vez que lo veas disponible tienes que comprarlo. 10 de 10

Un album piacevolissimo, caldo e fedele alla linea degli esordi, eleganti nell'utilizzo di shynth ed elettronica mantenendo costante il rispetto nei confronti del proprio style, arricchito album dopo album da un prospero carattere compositivo, sempre più complesso e sfarzoso di sonorità. Non mancano notevoli bordate da poco tipiche dei Deftones

Très bon et puissant

cd musica ..bien de precio ...vendedor bien ..llego asu tiempo ..bien embalado ....

...dürfte wohl niemanden mehr überraschen,dass das Album schon vor Veröffentlichung in Umlauf ist.. eigentlich traurig!..aber naja,so hat ich jedenfalls schon die Möglichkeit,'Diamond Eyes' komplett zu hören.Versteht sich natürlich von selbst,dass ich mir das Original trotzdem kaufe!..hoffe ihr macht dasselbe,denn 'D E' ist für mich perönlich das beste Album seit 'White Pony'!..ich mag auf jeden Fall alle Alben,aber so euphorisch wie 'D E' hab ich die letzten beiden nicht wirklich aufgenommen.. Das Album hat irgendwie ne ganz eigene Stimmung... echt schwer zu beschreiben.Einige Sachen hat man auch so von Deftones noch nicht gehört.. Fängt schon mit dem Chorus vom Titel-Track an.. ich hab schon einige Kommentare gelesen,von wegen:zu "radio" und so,und ja kann sein,dass es ne breitere Masse ansprechen könnte,aber das gilt auch echt nur für den Chorus,..allein durch den Gitarrensound wird der Song auf jeden Fall kein "Radio-Hit".Mir gefällt er jedenfalls!(auch der Chorus).ich hät ehrlich gesagt auch kein Bock Deftones zwischen Lady Gaga und Ich&Ich zu hören.. ..was sonst noch?.ja,ich find,Chino's Vocals stechen mehr hervor als auf den andern Scheiben.. klingen einfach melodischer.'Sextape' ist hierfür wohl das beste Beispiel..sehr chillig,sehr schön-wie das Cover.Aber natürlich wird's auch ruff!..momentan ist 'Prince' mein Favorit,aber ich find auch jedes Mal wieder was anderes.. 'Royal' zum Beispiel,beginnt cool,aber erstmal nicht sonderlich spektakulär,und dann ab 2:50min oder so kommt der Vorschlaghammer!..auf meinem Gesicht breitet sich bei der Stelle jedes Mal 'n fettes Grinsen aus .. das letzte Mal hat ich bei 'Knife Party' ähnliche Gefühlsausbrüche.Gänsehaut!.. ok,ich will jetzt auch nicht jeden Track auseinander nehmen.. Das ganze Album ist meiner Meinung nach einfach komplett gelungen und funktioniert insgesamt!..was ich schreibe,kann dem eh nicht gerecht werden,was in mir vorgeht,wenn ich Deftones hör.. egal,ich mach's trotzdem.Euphorie muss man teilen!..Cheers!
