ColinDNov 1, 2006Truely a amazing work of artistic structure and brilliance. This entire record is playing at my funeral when my time is done.

Feb 1, 2015A truly incredible masterpiece in it's own respect. This album takes you to another world and makes you wonder if you can ever go back. Xerces tears your soul out through your ears.

CosterMNov 3, 2006You can't BRAND deftones. I think that is the whole point of their SWAG. It's music. mood.

RobTDec 20, 2007I 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.

JohnA.Jul 2, 2007First 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.

briankNov 9, 2006They just always stay fresh! a bit on the soft side at times, but musically and production wise maybe their best album! "Beware" is an awesome song! Ranks right up there with their best!

ATaylorJan 8, 2007Deftones never let me down. Their albums are always changing in agood way. This album only proves once again that they can rock to the maximus.

meghanlDec 17, 2006excellent. the deftones have finally reached their potential and a new level of sophistication. abe cunningham's drumming, long the band's weakest link, has improved dramatically.

JRDec 6, 2006It's not White Pony, but it continues in that direction with a lot of Chino Moreno's Team Sleep vocal experience mixed in. Lyrics and are standard Deftones quality - which means they're brilliantly poetic.

ivantOct 31, 2006Wow!

BrianVOct 30, 2006Saturday Night Wrist is a solid culmination of what Deftones have been doing the past two albums. The songs here surpass the self-titled effort but fall short of the artier White Pony.

DeclanmJun 11, 2007one of there best albums superb apart from pink cellophone what rubbish would be a 10 apart from that song
-
-
SteveHNov 1, 2006As others have been saying, this is a great album, but White Pony is such a masterpiece that it would be very unprobably for this band to produce any future albums that even come close.

StevenFNov 18, 2006I was ready to be dissapointed with this album because the release date kept being pushed back. This is their best album to date. It was well worth the wait.

BradleyBNov 2, 2006Deftones return to form after the disappointing 2003 album. Up there with White Pony and Around the Fur.
-
-
DaveHDec 13, 2006I'm surprised by 2 things. That this album got such high ratings and that most deftones fans view White Pony as their best album. IMO, their best album is Around The Fur and it's not even debatable. That said, this is a good album although it takes a few listens through to really get it. Better than the S/T for sure.

AEOlsonDec 17, 2006Should have been the follow up to White Pony, leaps and bounds better than self-titled

DeepGNov 12, 2006the sacto boys are back! After coming across as very down-and-nearly-out on their self-titled album...they really come back on this record re-energized, and loving what they do...and the results: deftones' most cohesive and eclectic record to date...and only time will tell as to whether this one of their finest works!

paulcNov 26, 2006As with most deftones albums it's a matter of sorting out the gems from the noise. Gems include: Hole in the Earth Beware Xerces If these were the only tracks on the album it would be more than worth it.
-
-
VincentDec 16, 2006excellent addition. the best tones' record since the white pony. atmospheric, dense, angular, harmonic and melodic, and it still rocks out well enough

SeamusSDec 27, 2006The most accurate review is the one claiming that if anyone has interest in Heavy Music, this is a must. I, though not a fan of metal per say, have always thought of the Deftones as something of a guilty pleasure, I felt awkward admitting to listening to them. This changed it. It's a beautiful and atmospheric album. Please listen to it. The highlights are "Cherry Waves" and "Kimdracula".
-
-
DG.Nov 27, 2007Cohesive 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).

Nov 17, 2011My favorite Deftones record with some peaceful and Violent melodies mixed together to make it a perfect album. We will be waiting for Chi until he wakes up.

Sep 24, 2015Deftones' most aggressive album, definitely supported by the frantic "Rats! Rats! Rats!". However, it's a ten out of ten album that gets an eight only because of the abysmal "Pink Cellphone". Please never do that again, Deftones. Please.

May 9, 2021Radiohead does metal. Deftones grow their sound to galactic levels, this LP is brooding with dark atmospheres and ethereal choruses that are sure to tug at your heart strings. Saturday Night Wrist is an underappreciated masterpiece that just gets better with age. Standout tracks are "Beware", "Cherry Waves", "Xerces", "Combat", "Kimdracula" and "Reviere".
-
Jun 19, 2023По прошествии стольких лет можно сказать, что альбом явно недооценили: да, у него есть стилистические пробелы: неуместные вещи вроде трека pink cellphone, но в целом это один из лучших и самых атмосферных альбомов Deftones.
