It just had to leak online, this album called Saturday Night Wrist by The Deftones. The listening experience is satisfying so far, but the search for the much-coveted files FOR SAMPLING the new record wasn’t easy; that is, if you do the Google websearch (on any band + record) + ‘rapidshare‘ and/or ‘megaupload‘. No kidding, that’s the easiest way to SAMPLE MUSIC.
I’ve been scouring the forums for this a while back. just recently did I find the right link for it.
the album still has that “deftones” sound; rough, team-sleep-ish, lazy-vibe to it.(you know what i mean). moreover its a very experimental record, “U…Select, Start” is instrumental, i dunno if this is a first from them, but i didn’t think a filler would eat 4 mins. of an LP, and somehow “Xerces” reminded me of the beatles’ “straberry fields” … very experimental i tell ‘ya. one thing though, I can’t hardly make out the words on any song.
I can’t remember the last time I purchased a cd, so I’ll definitely bag this, once it comes out here. A little preview wouldn’t hurt.
Lyrics, so far, appeared to be inferior to what I heard, say, from White Pony. Overall, the album feels more radio friendly than any of their records. Record-friendly, I would like to note, doesn’t mean its bad. Its not just as…. abrasive.
