Description: Diamond Eyes by Deftones [PA] [CD] Track Listing: 1 Diamond Eyes2 Royal3 CMND/CTRL4 You've Seen The Butcher5 Beauty School6 Prince7 Rocket Skates8 Sextape9 Risk10 976-Evil11 This Place Is Death2010 album from the Northern California Alt-Rockers. Produced and mixed by Nick Raskulinecz (Alice in Chains, Coheed & Cambria, Foo Fighters), and recorded and engineered by Paul "Fig" Figueroa (Alice in Chains, Bad Religion), Diamond Eyes is a powerful combination of muscular impact and expansive atmospherics clarity that charts the latest development in the band's ever growing sonic range. Diamond Eyes also represents former Quicksand bassist Sergio Vega's recording debut with Deftones. Vega is standing in for Chi Cheng, who was seriously injured in a car accident in November 2008. --- A long four years separate Diamond Eyes from Saturday Night Wrist, four years that were sadly packed with peril for Deftones. Bassist Chi Cheng suffered injuries so severe in a November 2008 auto accident the band took a hiatus, eventually honoring prior touring commitments by hiring Quicksand bassist Sergio Vega, and eventually cutting a full album with him on board and scrapping a near-completed album in the process. Given this serious trauma, it’s only logical that Diamond Eyes functioned as musical therapy for Deftones, but the surprise is that it has little downcast lyrical angst-mining, preferring atmosphere to bloodletting. Naturally, there is quite a bit of roiling darkness here -- they’re Cure-loving metalheads, it’s in their blood -- but there’s shade and light, control of texture, with the band deepening rather than expanding. Above all, it’s a mature album: Deftones skirted the obvious response to their tragedy, realizing that the left turn is a more rewarding journey. ~ Neil Z.
