Saturday Night Wrist proves yet again that Deftones have a corner on the transcendental-metal market.
If you’ve even the slightest interest in ‘heavy’ music, you simply must make Saturday Night Wrist an integral part of your record collection.
Wrist is yet another excellent record from mainstream hard rock’s only real hope.
Ultimately, Saturday Night Wrist is satisfying, though it may take a few listens given all the changes in individual cuts that tend to blur together the first time or two through.
Their most well-rounded, focused record yet, one that comes scarily close to besting White Pony while heading in a slightly different direction at the same time.
Saturday Night Wrist continues the Deftones’ sad trend, another album of scattered transcendent moments in a field of attention-getting parlour tricks, still eagerly tugging at the listener’s sleeve to say, “Listen to this sound we created!”
It's a sideways step in the right direction.
There's little of the fire and invention that characterised 2000's White Pony.
I wore a glow in the dark bracelet on Saturday night. But quickly I grew tired of just seeing it there and bit straight into it.
The taste was exquisite: hundreds of fireworks going off in my mouth all at once, storming their way to the back of my throat as I swallowed them all up. I felt my stomach was lit on fire by God itself: I was going to transcend. And I did! Free party meal!
Moral of the story: deftone
I think we see the problem as to why this isn’t a 100/100

THE METAL SUBGENRE CHALLENGE #017 - ALTERNATIVE METALGAZE
In this challenge, I'll be taking a look at various albums I haven't heard yet from a variety of different Metal subgenres. I'm quite familiar with the genre, but I really want to dive into the specific subgenres and analyze them.
REVIEW REPOST #054. I repost my old reviews, which got no attention, with updated thoughts. Posted this review last year, but I'm posting it again.
Ah yeah, good old Deftones, my favorite band of all time. I ... read more
MAGNIFIQUE!
this album is super cool. deftones' signature metal sound works in conjunction with a wavering, dystopian tone throughout this thing's duration which creates a really potent atmosphere
this thing's biggest flaws are likely just sounding a little boring during some b sides and also that weird fucking outro on pink cellphone???
but yeah i liked it
