Nov 15, 2012Deftones may very well be one of the most consistent and dependable bands of the past 20 years. Each new release sees the band further their musical scope while still retaining that immediately identifiable sound. I personally got hooked into the band with White Pony, specifically the songs
-
Nov 15, 2012Beautiful album, even blissful at times. They have carved out their own sound and perfected it, amazing. Album of the year and in my opinion, the best they have ever released.

Nov 13, 2012Hearing Leathers and Tempest just whet my appetite for an album that I had very high expectations for, and these guys have succeeded in beating every single one of them. It is so heavy at times, so dreamy at times. Extremely solid effort gents.

Nov 25, 2012Deftones have been making music for 24 years, and unlike most bands they haven't made a bad album yet! The biggest band on this planet. Koi No Yokan instantly had me hooked, an instant classic in my books.

Nov 14, 2012This album is great from beginning to end. The first track "Swerve City" immediately draws you in. What I love most about the Deftones, is they have the perfect blend of aggression and melody. They're heavy but very calming at the same time. The Deftones deliver again with an album that is powerful and full of emotion.

May 20, 2014its still the deftones i know and love but is it my favourite album of theres no is it in the top 3 of deftones albums no, was it the best album of 2012 heck yeah it was
-
May 22, 2017This is what I mean when I say "masterpiece", songs like Tempest, Rosemary and Leathers should make people understand that this is one of the greatest album of the last 10 years.
Entombed will forever have a place in my heart. -

Dec 14, 2012Koi No Yokan is a beautiful album. I listen to a variety of music and this album is probably the best this year by far. The songs hit a range of emotion and are executed beautifully. I feel like this album is worthy of a Grammy and will be very disappointed if they don't get at least nominated.

Nov 13, 2012Heavier than Diamond Eyes but just as melodic and ethereal, Deftones have once again put out an outstanding record of atmospheric, cryptic, blistering alternative metal. Standout tracks include "Tempest" and "Swerve City."

Nov 19, 2012back to their best at last! always a massive fan - everything after white pony up until diamond eyes was a bit average but still the odd good track. every song on this album is wholeheartedly deftones, stand outs include 'Leathers,' 'Tempest' and 'Gauze.' not so hot on 'goon squad'

Dec 11, 2012These guys kind of punched me right in the face with Koi No Yokan. They demolish their guitars, they take it back to Rage in their prime, and sometimes they sound like they're writing hip worship music. At both ends, it's pretty fascinating, simultaneously rigid and crafted with ease.

Jan 12, 2013Best album since White Pony.
This album has all the thrills and melodic tones you would expect from Deftones. Except this album takes it to a new level. -
Nov 13, 2012It's a shame there is only 11 tracks on the album i want more musics like this to listen all the day and chill out .
Intense, deep ,profound to the bones. -
Nov 13, 2012I discovered Deftones a while ago back on one of the soundtracks to the Matrix. Many good tracks here, definitely worth a listen. Tempest and Polterheist bring the heat!

Nov 14, 2012I was sure that it couldn´t get any better than Diamond Eyes, but they sure proved the opposite. They are extremely talented and Chino´s (vocal) voice gives you goosebumps. They combine the softness and hardness so perfectly that I was on the edge of crying several times. I really recommend the album and all the previous albums.

Dec 18, 2012Possibly my favorite metal album this year. The riffs hit hard and Chinos vocals are as great as ever. There musicianship leaves me in awe throughout many of the songs on this album. Possibly this is the best i heard them play.

Sep 24, 2015Deftones are a rare breed. With every release, they become stronger and more confident. Typically we see the opposite in the field of metal, right?
With Koi No Yokan we hear true musicianship. Deftones never let up, and they keep the heat on from the moment "Swerve City" pounds into life until the final beats of "What Happened to You?". -

Sep 1, 2021Absotutely enchanting. I'm still stunned to this day how hard and how ethereal this entirely album. Easily one of their best albums and one of their most impressive. I can only think of Leathers and Gauze as being the only mediocre songs on this album. Everything else is just, pure magic.

Jul 23, 2022Solid and consistent. Every song is a great song, specially Rosemary, which in my opinion is the best Deftones song ever made.
-
Jul 4, 2022While many claim White Pony to be their best record, I really have to give that distinction to Koi No Yokan. This record is Deftones at their creative peak. It challenges each member to their fullest potential, and really encapsulates what makes the 'Tones so special. Rosemary, especially, is quite special and what I would call their magnum opus.
