10:22 PM - Review of The Deftones "Hole In The Earth".

The first single off of the new Deftones album (Saturday Night Wrist), entitled "Hole In The Earth", is a plush landscape of sonic interplay. According to frontman Chino Moreno, the song addresses the fissure that formed between himself and his bandmates during his time spent with side-project Team Sleep. In it he describes his agoraphobic tendencies, how he wanted to just dig a hole and disappear from the world around him ("...I hate all of my friends...They are the terror outside..."). Luckily for us, the chasm appears to have been therapeutic and the ambiance of the track gives an air of resolve and hopefulness. Simply put, the band has never sounded as cohesive as they do here. Musically, "Hole In The Earth"'s spacey guitars and driving rhythm is reminiscent of the more uptempo offerings of Failure and 30 Seconds To Mars or their own tracks "Good Morning Beautiful" and "Feiticeira". As usual, Chino's vocal delivery is clearly influenced by his own auditory champions, Robert Smith (The Cure) and Stephen Morissey (The Smiths), with his soft-hearted swagger and his vibrant use of wails and moans. "Hole In The Earth" is a top-notch debut for The Deftones' upcoming opus and will easily garner them as much success, if not more, as "Change (In The House Of Flies)" and "Minerva" did. If this first taste is anything to go by, "Saturday Night Wrist" will be another must have for any appreciative of intelligent and aggressive music.

(5/5)

"Saturday Night Wrist" is due out on Halloween through Maverick Records.

You realize of course that the album will leak at least a month before the release date. Oh, and how do Chino's balls taste? Slightly salty, I imagine!

KIDDING! ;)

That's it! No more new music for you!!! You have been smote!

If you download an album when its leaked, but still pay for the album when it comes out, you have not stolen from or hurt the artist in any way. This is what I did with the tool CD, its really win/win since I got to hear it sooner and the band got my money.
