Horrible,I just hated the way he sang the songs.I can't believe people can listen to this shit.It wasn't even rock.Awful.
Rob T gave it a9:
I find this to be about on par with "Deftones", and I probably enjoy it more than White Pony. It's a good release, with some real standout moments. One thing that irks me is Delgado's contributions being way more overt and kinda cheesy in parts... I prefer his usual fare of creating tension in the background subtly.
D G. gave it a9:
Cohesive and beautifully produced, a big improvement over that last self-titled record. Maybe not as vital as 'White Pony', but nearly every song on here is perfect (though I have a hard time listening through the collab with Annie).
Hex G. gave it a6:
The album feels a bit lackluster when compared with their previous two albums (Self Titled and White Pony). As good as "Hole In The Earth" and "Beware The Water" are, songs like "Mein" and "Pink Cellphone" let the album down a small bit.
Morgan P. gave it a5:
Chino does not need to be AUTO TUNED!!!!! they did a terrible job auto tuning it and its terribly obvious!
C L gave it an8:
Much, much tighter than their last experimental album (which had some wonderful moments, but was unfocused). "Hole in the Earth" has been deemed extremely heavy but I've seen Brit Rock bands deliver just as much noise - which is convenient considering Chino takes on Bono's voice. "Rapture" is a by-the-numbers metal song (save for a brief moment in ambience). "Beware" is a beautiful anthem complete with layers of cricket noise, and "Cherry Waves" finds the band trying to sing in the middle of violent storm in the middle of the lonely ocean. "Mein" proves Chino had Radiohead's song "Where I End and You Begin" on repeat, and "Xerces" does plenty of mystified shoegazing. Really disjointed, but furthering Deftones's range with a large handful of fantastic moments.
John A. gave it a10:
First let me say I am a real person, not a robot, and I don't work for a record label. I honestly this is as close to perfection as you can get. Pink Cellphone goes hard in the paint.
