And this is coming from a Deftones fan from the outset.

I don't really feel anything with this album. I'll give it more time, but I know how I react to them and I know how I digest them. I can already say that this is probably going to be my least favorite album of them that they've ever put out.
I completely agree. I know I shouldn't compare everything to White Pony (because I hate it when other people compare everything to a band's mangum opus), but seriously...I know you have it in you, Deftones. Just give us another good one. PLEASE. Diamond Eyes was such a good step forward...now I feel they've taken a few steps back. Ugh. Oh, well.
