#DEFTONES EROS MP3 FULL#
Oddly enough, Deftones had just come off recording another full album, Eros, which they ultimately shelved. It sounds odd, but really, this is an optimistic record.' And a spontaneous one.ĭiamond Eyes was made in a mere six months with the help of former Quicksand bassist Sergio Vega and producer Nick Raskulinecz of Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, and Rush fame. I tried to take it away from day to day life, and make it more about the abstract, about art. I think that’s why there’s a lot of fantasy stuff on the record. 'It felt like there was a cloud around us, so we aimed to make something uplifting. 'After Chi’s accident, it would have been easy for us to make a sad record,' says Moreno. The band recorded the album after their best friend and bassist Chi Cheng sustained a debilitating brain injury from a car accident in November of 2008. There’s also a newfound sense of purpose that makes Deftones’ sixth album stand out. That’s the way it is with us-we contradict each other constantly but it’s also what makes our music what it is-intense and different.' 'Chino will give you the exact opposite answer that I do. The friction drives the music as much as it does the players, though it doesn’t always make life easy for childhood friends Carpenter and Moreno. The tangle of Stephen Carpenter’s woozy, undulating guitar work and Moreno’s soaring then secretive vocal style is the bittersweet dynamic behind each of Deftones’ records, including Diamond Eyes. I think that’s what music’s supposed to do.' Then when we play, it’s not a real conscious thing, but the emotion builds and it takes us in a lot of different ways. We connect with different emotions because we listen to everything out there-that could mean dumb music or something by Brian Eno. 'Like sadness - it can be really lovely, or beautiful, or wide open, or coarse. 'There are so many emotions that music can give you, and if you explore all sides of those, it can be really amazing,' says Moreno. Diamond Eyes works the way good records used to each song carries you a little further away from your shitty day until finally, you’ve been transported to a place that feels a whole lot better than where you started. The 11-track album is just that-an album from start to finish. As chart-toppers and headliners, they’ve crossed over genres, defied categorization and confused the hell out of your iPod ('Heavy Metal?' 'Hard Rock?' 'Alternative?') Above all, Deftones have stuck together throughout their often-turbulent tenure, and now, deliver one of the most compelling records of their career. 'We’re not afraid to be pretty.' It’s an adjective most riff-heavy groups might avoid, but then, Deftones have never been your average hard rock band.Īs kids, the Sacramento fivesome cut its teeth on Anthrax and The Smiths, Pantera and The Cure, skateboarding and “The Smurfs.” As a band out of high school, Deftones mixed trip hop with thrash, melodic vocals with crushing reverb, and yes, pretty with ugly. 'Pretty,' affirms Deftones singer and guitarist Chino Moreno when discussing their new full-length studio album,Diamond Eyes.

Now, for these articles, I usually throw around some opinions and constructive criticisms. Hell, even when they were on the Family Values tour a few years ago, I could swear that every drummer (aka Korn, 10 Years, Buy Your Dead, Flyleaf, Stone Sour, etc) played at least 10 seconds of that riff.

The titled track itself is a drum piece that almost every drummer I come in contact with seems to know. I think "Around The Fur" was the winning album for moi and haven't looked back. But since that seemed to be the main reason why people were turned off by them (I don't blame them if they listened to "Change "), I decided to give it a lil more time and dab into a few more tracks. When my buddy (thanks to Spenser!) introduced me to them for the first time, I didn't really like the sound, mainly the vocals. Not going to lie, these guys took some time for me to get used to them and their style. For some reason, I had a feeling it was going to be a good year :-) and even purchased the tickets before the band were announced. I was fortunate enough to hit up the 2011 edition of HEAVY T.O.
