Yes my friends, the Deftones have officially pulled a Metallica and resurrected their fledgling metal cred. After almost a decade of suck the Deftones have come out with what I consider to be one of the best albums of 2010 and thank god for that! I dont like hating on my favorite groups and the Deftones have been on my shit list for a while. As far as the album goes I describe it as a mix of Around the Fur and White Pony. Much like Death Magnetic would have been the perfect transition album between the metal masterpiece of And Justice and the mainstream sound of the Black album, Diamond Eyes is the missing piece to the puzzle that lay between the raw sound of Fur and the melodic new wave inspired sound of Pony. I really hope they continue on this vibe in the future and stop putting out the whiny noise of the self titled and Saturday Night Wrist.
