At times crushing, haunting, and always wrapped in a perfect trance like package. Deftones are about the best band for making this particular dreamy vein of metal, and this is them at their best. A brilliant starting point imo and just so much enjoyment to be had.

I still need to fully revisit and give Gore a proper shake, but this is exactly what I want in a Deftones album and compliments Koi No Yokan perfectly. The airy and dreamy quality to the album makes me dissociate in the best way, taking me out of my body and taking me to a higher place, almost a high in the form of music.

you can't follow up an album as good as The Spark, but this was a good effort none the less

A nice and solid return to form that actually does experimentation with the Stokes formula well
