Title: It's one thing to recreate yourself but...
Product review: This album does not do it. I've been an avid Deftones fan since Adrenaline came out, never really had a problem with any other Deftones album except this one. Even though some people claim self-titled was a "step back," I hardly do not think it was. This album goes on to explore more "electronic" areas where there are no guitar. Sure it's a "soothing" album but this is not Deftones. This album sounds more like Team Sleep than it does the Deftones minus the very, very, few heavy tracks.Sure, White Pony had an excellent mix of both but the soothing tracks and the electronic tracks on this album are just plain boring. Recreating yourself by putting more electronic sounds in the music just does not seem to fit right with the Deftones. I'd almost rather have another ATF or White Pony recreated than listen to this bland album. Oh well, rumours are flying around saying this is their last album, who knows.
