God willing.

But I actually think this album has a lot of the tone from both of those previous albums. I don't hear their self-titled anywhere in it.. which may or may not be a good thing... but I might be a little biased because my favorite Deftones song comes from their self-titled. "Anniversary of an uninteresting event". (Followed by Passenger from White Pony, of course)

My favorite album is a toss up between Adrenaline and White Pony, for two different reasons, but I'm actually glad that Diamond Eyes didn't really repeat either of them. With 3 really good albums under your belt and two so-so albums, being able to draw from each of the good ones is a good idea for a new album and I'm glad they didn't draw from the lesser albums so much.
