Holy **** I haven't seen you in 46 years!!
Or do I just not come here often?

I still haven't given Diamond Eyes a listen so this is the first Deftones album I've listened to since Saturday Night Wrist. SNW had it's good moments but felt inconsistent, Koi No Yokan feels more consistent overall and seems like a progression from SNW. I'm not going to go comparing it to White Pony as that would be pointless.
Diamond Eyes didn't take long for me to consider it a solid part of their discography. There are some songs I don't particularly care for, but on the whole, it kind of slides right in. No luck so far with KNY. You should definitely give Diamond Eyes some ear.
