I still need to listen to the new album in it's entirety. Checked out a couple tracks on youtube. Not bad. A bit more straight forward sounding Deftones, but still cool. Sometimes it can be good to take a step back from attempting something innovative, and just rock out. It's fun. If Deftones have proved one thing, it's that they are not scared to take chances. Any artist worth their salt does.
I remember thinking White Pony was a bold move. Certainly took a few listens for me to be able to really appreciate that one.
Just listened to their version of Simple Man...haha. Any time a band of their nature is willing to cover Skynyrd (and not in a jokey kind of way) it's a bold as fuck move.
