DEFTONES: REFLECTIONS IN “DIAMOND EYES”

Vince is really the resident Deftones fan here at the MS Mansion; he’s tried on at least two occasions to convince me of the band’s awesomeness, but besides the song “Change” (which I frickin’ love), I’ve never been able to muster more than a “pretty good” for the band’s music (although I have seen them put on a pretty cool live show).

So I don’t really feel qualified to write about their new single, “Diamond Eyes.” I mean, it’s a good song, but it’s not knocking my socks off; but like I said, having never really been a huge Deftones fan or anything, it’s entirely possible that I’m just not the target audience for this. So listen to the track and make your own judgments:

“Diamond Eyes” is the title track from an album of the same name. It comes out May 18 on Reprise.
