Deftones rock.

My favorite album , so happy

First of all, let me just state how much I have always liked this band, ever since I first heard "7 Words" on the radio many years ago. That said, i've bought all this bands' records and have watched (and listened to) these guys evolve from the rough, pissed off heyday of "Adrenaline", through the rap-metal phase of Around the Fur, up to the heavy change (and most evolved sound) that was "White Pony". If their self-titled is any indication, these guys aren't planning on slowing down any time soon, and are certainly not an "MTV Nu-Metal/Rap Metal throwaway" band by any means. On "Deftones", this CD is definitely one that I had to let grow on me simply because it was quite different than past releases. But I think it's really sad to see people calling this CD "Boring", and "not another 'White Pony'!", because such as the tradition of this band, their sound is ever changing. However, that's not to say that they haven't used elements from past successes to form a cohesive effort. "Lucky You" is reminiscent of "Teenager", using synthesized beats and Chino's ethereal breathed vocals. And just as track 9 on White Pony was a heavy hitter with "Korea", the Deftones have also followed through with another strong point in the song "Bloody Cape", which just happens to be one of my favorite tracks on the CD. There are also standout tracks just by themselves that really call my attention, such as "When Girls Telephone Boys". Both the drums and crunchy bass and guitar combination that form the skeleton for the tortured "chorus" in the song eventually give way to desolate drums before elevating itself back up to the level which it started at. "Minerva", which is the album's single or radio track, follows in the footsteps of the first track on the album when it starts. However this time around, instread of tortured screams and an agressive pace, the band goes for a more epic arena approach. The emotion coming out of this track is simply amazing and you can definitely tell Chino and crew worked hard to make this stand out. Another highly emotional track can be found under the title of "Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event". Here, the band employs the use of a piano and tambourine with ethereal underlying instrumentation, to sing a song about life now gone. The only real disappointment on this CD, even though I wouldn't even really call it a disappointment, was "Good Morning Beautiful". It's not a horrible track by any means, but it didn't quite grab my attention like the rest of the album did. It's because of this that I am giving the CD a 4.5 (no option for that ) out of 5 stars. Also, I thought that the album itself ended rather abruptly; after being used to the 12 minute epic that was "Pink Maggit", I felt "Moana" could have been fleshed out a little more. I have tried to stray away from comparisons to past works as much as possible here, because simply put this album is a completely new Deftones experience. Just as all of their previous CD's have been different each time we sat down and played them for the first time, so will this one. Like it or hate it, "Deftones" represents a mature sound exhibited by all the members of the band not only musically, but lyrically as well.

great album and the product came intact. used the cd and there isn’t any skipping or other issues.

Yes :)

Llegó en buen estado. Sin problema alguno.

conforme à mes attentes

… questo album che pensavo di averlo. Forse lo avevo e l’ho perso. Comunque l’ho ricomprato perché non si può non avere quest’album. Cover: bellissima. Brani: bellissimi. Band: al top della sua carriera, mai comunque una cosa fuori posto anche dopo. La storia dei Deftones in un solo album. Non è White Pony così potrete dire: “I Deftones non sono solo White Pony”. Comunque io acquisterei anche tutti gli altri. Attualmente mi manca solo Gore per avere tutto quello che hanno fatto. Deftones rimane comunque meglio di Gore, a livelli di Diamond Eyes ecco. Compratelo adesso costa anche poco. La consegna è stata come al solito pazzesca.

賛否両論あるデフトーンズの4thですが、私は一番好きですね。 一曲一曲の完成度がすごい。バンドサウンドとして、ヘヴィでダークネス な感じを追求しているバンドは他にもあるだろうが、それを曲の雰囲気や 印象のレベルで表現できるのはこのバンドだけではなかろうか。 曲の構成は実は驚くほど単純なんだけれど、そのシンプルさがかえって 曲をより深いものにしている。とにかく、音の使い方やエフェクトの掛け方が秀逸。 チノのボーカルも、ただシャウトするだけではなく、シャウトの仕方も少しずつ違うし、 すごく考えられていると思う。 アルバムのまとまりもよい。静と動が効果的に交互に配置されてる。 以下、私のおすすめの曲。 1,Hexagram 感情に直接訴えかけてくるようなシャウトに圧倒される。さらに歌詞が秀逸。 2,Needles And Pins ギターリフがシンプルだけど良い。 4,Good Morning Beautiful このアルバム全体に言えることだけど、キーボードの使い方がうまい。 9,Bloody Cape これもリフがいい。 10,Anniversary Of An Uninteresting Event deftonesのアルバムには必ず一曲はこういう静かな曲が入ってる気がするけれど、 この曲は独特の雰囲気で、アルバムをいい感じに締めてます。 初めて聞く人はまあ取っ付きにくいとは思いますが、素晴らしいアルバムだと思います。
