I love the Deftones. Admittedly, I am more into their melodic and chill stuff than their more aggressive tracks. But, I do dig a lot of their stuff. I think Koi no Yokan is a step up from Diamond Eyes, and I've had it in my rotation for quite some time.
On a related note, I actually find the Deftones to be a very specific incarnation of a newer style of progressive music. I know people who love uber-categorization like to label the various styles that this band creates as Nu-metal, trip hop, hard core, etc. But, primarily due to the talent and melodic originality of Chino (the vocalist) these guys definitely outshine so many other groups of similar style.
Thanks for the post!
