Beautiful album cover. Also, only on the first song, but absolutely loving it

I agree, really nice artwork. Very retro-sci fi.

Last album was quite enjoyable so will be checking this out for sure.

Hmmm...based on what I heard, it can be considered their greatest album.

Heard from where? The media or the record label saying that will not mean anything.

I think he was referring to what he heard from the actual album, not the record label.

I didn't really go into this listen with very high hopes, as I found White Pony to be decent but grossly overrated. While I can't confidently say I feel as if the album merits the extent of the near-universal aclaim it's garnered, I will say that I was pleasantly surprised, and that the album was very enjoyable and likely one of the better albums I've heard this year. Definitely worthy of at least being in a Top 20 of the Year list, I'd say. At least, according to my specific musical preferences. That said, it's no RIITIIR or Cosmophophy, though.

Oh...maybe I should clarify my statement all the time.
As stated above it is what I heard from the actual album itself.

I agree on White Pony being overrated, and I think this once deserves garnering that much acclaim and attention.

Deftones borrowing riffs from Meshuggah, sounds really good.

Woah! haven't checked it out yet. But your comment, sir, has made me stoked.
