Saturday Night Wrist

This album is as good now as it was 20 years ago. Last album Chi Cheng was on before his accident.

Im a massive Deftones fan and felt that they would never top the skull crushing 'Around The Fur' or the brilliant experimentalism of 'White Pony'. Well i was wrong. 'Saturday Night Wrist' fuses the heaviness with experimental and is something special. The album carries a very strong Shoegaze/dreamy sound, the guitars creating a heavy wall of noise whilst the vocals float over the top and drums hammer away beneath. Each member is excellent. 'Hole In The Earth' starts things off with a bang and is very catchy. 'Rapture' convinced me to buy the album, its so heavy and Chino's shrieks are fantastic and 'Rats!Rats!Rats!' follows this style yet has a wonderful shoegaze style chorus. 'Kimdracula' is another cool straight up rocker. While 'Beware' floats along meanicingly, exploding in too life every now and then, the eerie 'Combat' does this too with both being excellent songs. We also have 'U,U,D....' which is an interesting instrumental 'Cherry Waves' is one of their most mellow songs and sounds so fragile yet powerful with its dreamy feel, 'Xerces' drifts along on the dreamy vibe too, both songs excellently show casing the softer side to Deftones. 'Mein' is similar, yet theres more guitars and Serj from SOAD makes a great apperance. 'Pink Cellphone' is a new step, featuring the excellent Annie Hardy and is very minimal yet dancey whilst keeping its distorted ambience. 'Riviere' closes the album brilliantly. All i can say is Saturday Night Wrist is a very unique piece of work and another classic from a superb band.

Was a gift for my sons girlfriend she loves it

Very good very happy

Underrated as far as the Deftones albums go. I'd actually rate this as my joint second favourite album. With both soft and head banging tracks, this album pleases both sides of the Deftones table. Stand out tracks for me are: Beware, Combat, Kimdracula and Rivere. If you like any Deftones albums, this one is a must own for the collection.

I bought this album on the strength of being utterly hypnotized by 'Cherry Waves' - a dreamy, moving and gorgeously tragic song - having lost my 'Around the Fur' and 'White Pony' albums during a house move a year or so before. It was an absolute pleasure to be seduced by the Deftones all over again, and though this offering is a far cry from much of their earlier material it is still fantastic. 'Hole in the Earth' is a fantastic opener - upbeat and energetic, with it's chorus just begging to be bellowed across any alternative venue worth its salt. 'Rapture' and 'Mein' bring a darker, heavier flavour, with 'Mein' also featuring the instantly recognisable vocals of SOAD's Serge Tankian (though it is a shame his voice is not allowed to warble, growl and spiral up and down the scales in the manner in which he is accustomed). 'Beware' and the aformentioned 'Cherry Waves' are moving, crushing ballads that I defy anyone not to be moved by, while 'Xerces' and 'U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,Select, Start' allow some introspective, mellow moments. 'Pink Cellphone' starts off great with it's bleepy melody overlaid by Annie's deliciously sexy voice-over, but this is wrecked at the end when she starts a plain ridiculous riff about circumcision and other things I frankly can't discuss here! Apart from this blip this is a deep, involved and complex offering that hard core fans should relish getting in to.

I loved this album I felt it was a bold step forward for Deftones introducing some new and exciting ideas to they're already stunning style. I would rate this album as one of the band's finest along with White Pony.

Great album

Insane album, came in good shape, no cracks or scratches. Deftones is a really good band, and this album is my favourite. I’m happy that the price wasn’t that high!

Tutto ok

Well everything looks perfect but back of the case has a big crack on the back, everything else is great

Um dos grandes álbuns de rock do século XXI! Excelente qualidade sonora

Il va dans ce disque tout un tas de choses...Tout un tas d'exceptions...Prenons nottament la force immmédiate qu'il ne contient pas de prime abord, ...Cela peut etre préjudiciable pour un groupe qui émet autant habituellement... Les lenteurs et le passé de langue du couplet au refrain de certaines perles ,qui ne le deviennent qu'aprés 10 écoutes ,...Le 1er morceau trop èxistentiel part vite en inèxistence...On part dans Rapture comme étant un copier/coller du précedant opus...On se dit que que les DEFTONES se sont employés à un point qu'ils tournent et détournent ... Que tiraillés d'un succés plus qu'internationnal , ils ne livrent plus qu'un album de plus ,... quelque indéscence commerciale nécéssaire pour continuer à vivre d'un nom désormais bien connu... Et puis on écoute ce disque 10 fois parce que l'on a tout de meme un petit doute... et aussi des coups de coeur..."Beware"..."Cherry wawes"..."Xerces" qui résonnent tout à coup au long d'une journée dans n'importe quel endroit . La totalité de cet album est magnifique ...Sa sensualité est incomparrable...Je suis parti avec un gros a priori ...un morceau comme "Combat" attaque headbang et relevé de refrain en bouche de fille initial , comparable à la pochette,... font de ce disque un exemple , ... il faut l'utiliser et y croire pour l'aimer ... mais c'est c'est quelque chose...quelque chose d'énorme en tout point...Je ne suis surtout pas déçu d'avoir suivi ce groupe jusqu'à ce jour...Enorme...
