iTunes Review
The Deftones' atmospheric metal has always reveled in a pitch-dark realm, one boiling over with murder ballads, the sadomasochism of a Saw sequel, and strange characters that wield knives for fun and change into flies as if they were knee deep in a Kafka novel. And so the story goes on the band's fifth album in more than a decade, a melodic but massive affair obsessed with redemption, religion and figurative battles that gaze inward and out. (Or are they literal? Chino Moreno's lyrics are still as obtuse as they are ominous.) All in all it's paranoid music for paranoid times, propelled by a poisonous backdrop that's less concerned with maintaining a heavy metal profile than one that's simply heavy. As in guitars that tremble and triumph, drums that sputter and spark, and subtle samples that color every blank slate in sepia tones. There are even a few vintage Deftones moments of Moreno shrieking and spitting like he's still on the second stage of Ozzfest ("Rapture," "Rats! Rats! Rats!"). Apparently, Sacramento's finest metallurgists haven't grayed as much as their hairs would suggest.
Customer Reviews
Ethereal and majestic
Chino and the boys return (finally) with a more challenging album than their previous release. This album recalls the texturing of white pony...and i couldn't be happier about it. Carpenter's bombastic vs subtle riffage blends seamlessly with Chino's soaring melodies and wails. Frank is also more in the forefront this time around adding layers of noise, background effects, and even keys if my ears don't deceive me. The secret weapon of course is the drummer abe who sets the pace as good as ever. This guy is an underrated player. Together with bassist, Chi, they anchor the album from front to back. The album could stand to be a bit more cohensive like say white pony. However, it doesn't matter. There are plenty of good tunes that i'll be listening to while skiing alta or mammoth this season. Hopefully we won't have to wait three years for the next one.
Best Rock Album of the Year (so far)
The latest album from Deftones caught me by surprise. I had loved Around the Fur and White Pony but was a little disappointed in their self-titled follow up to those two albums. Saturday Night Wrist sounds as if they are just taking off from White Pony and expanding their sound to new heights. This album is definitely a showcase of their sound- a mix of hard crunching guitars, mellow melodic lines moving towards more intense vocals, and a sense of cohesiveness throughout the album. The major disappointment I have is due to iTunes, in that if you want the bonus track and the art booklet, you need to by the clean version. I'm not sure if anything other than "Pink Cellphone" was cleaned up on the Clean version. The harder songs on the album are "Rapture", "Rats! Rats! Rats!" and to an extent "Combat." What I have come to love Deftones for is how versatile they are in just any song, shifting dynamics and tempo throughout the song. Prime examples of these are "Beware", "Kimdracula", "Xerces" and "Cherry Waves." My favorite tracks on here would be "Hole in the Earth", "Beware", "Cherry Waves", "Mein (which features Serj from System of a Down)", "Xerces", "Combat" and "Kimdracula", with the standouts I would say "Kimdracula", "Xerces" and "Beware." "U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select,Start" is an awesome instrumental track that reminds me a little bit of earlier music from Godspeed! You Black Emperor. I could go without "Pink Cellphone." It doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the tracks, and while it is a bit interesting at first, the curse-laden rant at the end is pretty dumb, and will just leave you with a "wtf" look on your face. All in all, this is a wonderful album, and in my opinion the best rock album so far this year. In a genre that continues to be weak and plastic, Saturday Night Wrist is a welcome piece of work, bringing a spark to the Rock world that has been missing most of the year.
Return Of The Deftones Greatness
This is the album that I was hoping for when the Deftones released their last album. This album I have been waiting on for a while because I have been listening to Hole In The Earth for a while now waiting for this album to come out. Hole In The Earth is an amazing song but the great thing is it is not the best song on here. I have to be honest that I was hoping for an album that sounded like White Pony and this album does touch some of the bases that Pony covered but it is not White Pony Version 2.0 it does go in different areas that the band has not went before. The album starts off with a bang with 3 up tempo songs to start things off right. Beware may possibly my favorite song at the moment. The album then hits a new area with Cherry Waves it is kind of similar to Digital Bath but not really in sound only in mood.Mein then hits and it is a song that teams Chino up with Serj from System Of A Down. It is very fast paced but not that heavy. That is one thing about this album it does a very good balance of Heavy and Melodic. The sixth song is an instrumental that would not have been out of place on Team Sleep's album. This album is very influenced by Team Sleep which is a good thing that gives it the balance it needs. Xerces may be my next favorite song it is melodic and moody. Rats is where the tempo picks back up again. Pink Cellphone sounds like a song that should have been on one of the Matrix soundtracks except the last minute of the song where Annie Hardy of Giant Drag explains why the British have bad teeth this one minute is why this album is stickered. Combat is another excellent rocking song and then goes into Kimdracula which to me sounds like Deftones have been listening to Mastodon a little bit. Riviere is a good closing atmospheric track. Great Album and one of the best albums of the year easily.
