Unfortunately assets neither words nor star express what triggered this album in me. For me, the Deftones are the only legitimate successor Soundgarden and this is by far the highest honor I can forgive because Soundgarden for me the greatest band of all time were and I could despair every day because of their resolution. Do not get me wrong, Deftones have nothing whatsoever to do on first sight with grunge, but a band like Soundgarden would no longer work today. In modern terms but the Deftones are very close to Grunge, as they play a very thoughtful music. And now we come to the actual thing in common: Since Soundgarden it has no band managed to create such a monstrous sound and implicate me so much in their songs. Since "Down on the Upside" there was no longer such a garden full of deeply touching sounds. Monumental !!!!!!!!
