Title: Took me by surprise, in a good way
Product review: I shoulda known - after having discovered Deftones just before White Pony hit, that the whole experience was going to be about stuff catching me off guard. Saturday Night Wrist, in addition to having snuck up on me, was a shock the first time I heard it - it didn't really make sense.A week later, Deftones came to Tucson and I got to see them. Saturday Night Wrist suddenly gelled.As much as I hate to use the 'play it loud' cliche' on ANYTHING, Deftones (and this album perhaps moreso) deserves to be listened to, if not loudly, in such a way that there are NO distractions. Riviere for instance is just a beautiful wall of sound. Live it bordered on a religious experience (in the same way a choir or organ just fills all the spaces with sound).anyway, some of the tracks might seem like knockoffs, but on the whole this album is precious.Whats more, now I know about Giant Drag because of 'Pink Cellophane, and that has turned out to be a Very Good Thing.
