If you don't like the Deftones I don't want to know you.

I think this is the 8th album they release and yes it's pretty good.  Unlike Adrenaline and White Pony that I immediately fell in love, I did have to listen to this Album 3 times to really get into it.

Chino still has bad ass vocals, Stephen still destroying guitar riffs and Abe is killing it on the drums!  Sergio on the bass is crazy good too, but I mean Chi can't be replaced, but he does a good job.  I don't have to much to say about the Frank. He does add essential sounds an all, so I guess he does his part.

Like I said I love the Deftones, but one thing that does bother me is out of tune hooks or switching the hook tune and bringing it back. That's just me though.

The best thing, is that Amazon lets you get the MP3's so you don't have to wait for it to get to you!! And if you sync your Amazon Music, it's instantly in your music list after the purchase!  It's crazy fast!!!

This band is incredible. Their music is the perfect mix of attitude, flavor, swagger, and melody. I discovered this band a few days ago and can't stop listening. Their music is everything that I ever wanted to hear in a band. These guys need to come to America. Come on HEAT.. Come to America, take America by storm, and show us what great music is again. If there is a band that could pull it off, and resurrect Americans liking great music again, it is HEAT !!!

This is simply hard rock at its best.

Despite the fact that I've known about the RHCPs for many years (as a matter of fact, I used to play in a local rock band that covered Under the Bridge sveral times), I never got into their music until quite recently. That was when I spent a month in Paris visiting various used CD stores.

I stumbled across Californication and thought it was simply GREAT!!! I also bought their Live at Hyde Park double CD and several others as well.

Contrary to what most people think, I find their One Hot Minute CD HOT!!!!!! It totally kicks a--!!!!!! I'm also glad that Dave Navarro will be playing with the newly reformed Motley Crue, one of my all-time favorite 80's metal bands, during their Reunion Tour.

Getting back to the RHCP thang, I also managed to buy the By the Way CD. Although I must confess that it does have its moments, I must declare that it's the WEAKEST of their CDs.

Producer Rick Rubin must have kicked their a---- around a little to get them OUT of their present pop ballad state!!! Even though it's been amazingly produced by the Super Rock Guru, By the Way is pretty bland and somewhat of a clunker...

I hope that the RHCPs get their act together and release a new album this year that won't alienate their new fans like myself who prefer their old sound over their somewhat syrupy and "mature" radio-friendly pop ballads!!!

I just hope that that happens and the RHCPs manage to deliver an album somewhere between Californication, BSSM and Mother's Milk this year.

Bon courage and Godspeed to the RHCPs in their new artistic and musical (hopefully funkier and heavier!!!!) endeavours in 2005!!!!

I totally dig these guys.....they are so rockin to see in concert, they have an awesome sound and I love the ability they have to go from rock to heartbreak.....they know life and they can put it into words and song like few bands can....their album is an entire cd that you can listen to....and feel! Best of all, they come out after the show and hang out...talk with ya...way, way too cool!!! Always, their # 1 Fan!

After listening to White Pony I was literally in awe. This could possibly  be the Deftones finest album so far. White Pony is nothing like any of the  Deftones other stuff. The majority of the songs are melodic and a much  slower tempo than what most Deftones fans are used to. Don't let this scare  you away because White Pony still has a few songs like Korea, Street Carp,  and Feiticeria that have the heavy beat that all Deftones fans love. The  standout track on White Pony is Passenger because it is a collaboration  between the 2 best singers in the world, Chino Moreno and Maynard James  Keenan(Tool & A Perfect Circle). That song is just breathtaking and you  have to hear it yourself. Overall this a must buy album and so far is the  album of the year. So if you don't have it yet(shame on you) go get it now!

WOW!!! Let me make one thing clear..I was NEVER a DMB fan. I liked Blood In The Water and that was about it...but this..again..WOW!!! This CD is huge! I listened to it at a friends request and was simply blown away.."Time Bomb"..d@mn..this song gives me super chills from hell!!!!
The last two minutes or so are mind blowing. All I can say is that is F'ING GREAT to hear an album like this on in this day and age.

I am NOW a big fan..especially of this album.

As a fan I don't want to criticize Deftones' recent albums; I like them, but to make the review honest, I will be a bit harsh.  I am a huge fan of Adrenaline, Around the Fur, and White Pony.  Self titled and Saturday Night Wrist albums were (as a fan) pretty good, but a bit under par.  So if you are like me, you may have put Deftones into that massive category of great bands on a slow downward slide; still good but past the prime.

So that is my preface.  This album is a glorious return to form, or at least a massive filtering endeavor at quality control.  The past two LPs were loose and tasted unfocused and excessively exploratory.  Which is fine, any band has to evolve.

But what we have here is a return to a proven Deftones sound, while not sounding redundant or a rehash of old work.  Dont get me wrong, Deftones were not lost in some wayward path. This album is just so tightly created.  So many bands make albums with a few high points, surrounded by forgettable songs.  This album, however, is solid all the way through.  Not just solid, but really, really good from start to finish.

If you like more than just a select few of Deftones' songs, this whole album shouldn't disappoint at all.  There's few Albums I really adhere to this entire decade, but this album is easily one of them.

Hot off (in my opinion) their best album in years, the Deftones have followed up with another solid outing. While Koi No Yokan does drag a bit in the middle, the overall quality of music is superb. Several songs, including Swerve City and Goon Squad really stand out. With albums like this and Diamond Eyes, it's a shame the Deftones aren't platinum selling artists.

I am always a bit apprehensive when it comes to reviews in Classic Rock Magazine, as they actually have a vested interest in the bands signed to their label.  But being hungry for raw, ballsy rock n roll, stateside we don't have many choices.  I am often disappointed, but I can honestly say that these guys are amazing!  They could fit right in to the early 80's sunset strip scene without all the BS that went with it - can you say G N'R? WOW, Great vocals, killer guitar riffs that get you rockin and well written songs will keep these guys in business for a while to come!!  I'm spreading the word - The Treatment are for real, and if these guys tour with The Answer, you couldn't possibly ask for a better show!!  Rock N' Roll is alive and well!!!!
