I know what your thinking, "another Deftones Archival Thursday?!" Well, yes! And that's because I went to see them perform a kick ass show last night at The Fillmore here in Miami Beach (will post pics/review soon). 'Saturday Night Wrist' was their first album after a 3-year break/hiatus that almost led to the bands demise. The wonderful opening track "
Hole in the earth", was written by lead singer Chino Moreno when the band could not find themselves as a whole nor could agree on a direction for 'Saturday Night Wrist', which in turn created a beautiful release. The tracks "
Kimdracula", "
Beware" and "
Cherry waves" are constantly being played in the great soundtrack of my life, and the rest of the album stays solid throughout the course.
I purchased this release in 2006 from eBay since Deftones vinyl is almost impossible to come across in local shops.
