CMU Approved
Approved: Deftones – Diamond Eyes
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 29 April 2010
It has by no means been an easy journey, with bassist Chi Cheng still in a coma and one entire record shelved along the way, but Deftones finally release their sixth album, ‘Diamond Eyes’, on Monday. However, it seems the rocky events of the last few years have galvanised the band again, after 2006’s disappointing ‘Saturday Night Wrist’, with the band back on full form.
The latest offering may not be their most inventive or experimental (which is not to say it is not either of those things), but it is a very solid album. Tracks like ‘CMND/CTRL’, and the single ‘Rocket Skates’, particularly stand out, with the band’s trademark deep-toned riffs and tightly locked drums undercutting Chino Moreno’s soaring vocals. You can hear this all for yourself on We7 right now, and the band have also just announced a small (for them) show at ULU in London on 12 May as part of the MT Presents series.
