Rosemary for me is just a "close your eyes and disappear" type song and feeling. Just a mental escape and I love every second of it

I'm a very simple man I see deftones i click

Their bassist had just died after a car crash when this album was written and it is a love letter to him. Many of the songs can be thought of as a grand space adventure through time and space with his friend who passed. Entombed is another great one from this album that definitely has a similar, yet softer vibe.

Deftones is not about getting into the groove, it's about BEING the groove

Chino's voice is like a velvet covered fist to the gut. He always brings it

This song is kinda like an acid trip for me. Its super spacey and ethereal until the shit hits the fan, the heavy part is when the trip starts to get serious and then you're coming down and feel super vulnerable. Love Deftones.

Koi No Yokan is not just my favorite Deftones album but one of my all time favorite albums of any genre 🫠

Deftones are one of the most inventive popular metal bands of all time. They are masters of having a wide appeal while remaining innovative with each album.

This song portrays an emotion. Its not about fancy change ups or pop beats. This is done deliberately to convey an emotion. In which it has succeeded.

"Koi No Yokan" is definetly one of those albums there the cover art represents excactly the sound of it imo. Songs like Rosemary and Entombed evoque this image so good!

One of my FAVORITE songs of all time.... not just Deftones.... ALL TIME. I thought you'd love it. 🤷‍♂️

Glad y’all are loving this!! I’ve been waiting on another reaction for Deftones because they are one of my favorite bands of all time!!

This song deserves to be played along with the album. It's like consuming one page of a book.

That whole album is flawless. “Goon Squad” is a banger

Rosemary is definitely a “close your eyes with headphones alone” type of song. Koi no yokan is Deftones shoegazy elements turned up to 11

Leathers is a great song on this record that deserves a listen.

It might be hard to really dig deep into Deftones if you're worried about things like _"it went on just a little bit too long."_ Their music wants to take you on a journey, so you've gotta be willing to go with the flow.

Koi No Yokan means it’s not love at first sight, but love is inevitable.

I didn't like koi when it first dropped, but over the years, it's grown on me to be one of my favorite albums. Damn near every song is a great cruising song.

Goon Squad and Tempest are two from this album that are absolute bangers yall should check out

The next time you are driving through the desert at night on your way to LA, give Rosemary another listen. In the same way that there are some songs you put on your workout playlist, Deftones are absolutely mood music.

Hole in the Earth is essential Deftones.

I'll say it as ALWAYS....when they brought Frank in and added what he does....keys, turntables, sampling.....he really opened up another level to Deftones....as someone who has been listening to them since Adrenaline(saw them live for that album) .....it's been a killer addition to the band

One of their best albums. Has a lot of interesting stuff, and some great tracks. Koi-No-Yokan is one of those non-English words that doesn’t really have a super apt translation. It’s Japanese, and can roughly be surmised as “love at second sight,” basically the feeling not of instant love and attraction, but of the sense that a strong relationship is inevitable. Some people you don’t immediately fall in love with, but you know that they’re your people, and you know that you’re in the right place when they’re around. It’s a fascinating concept! The album deals a lot with relationships, and Gauze is probably my favorite song off it. One of the lyrics off that track is, “I can’t stop what you began… I can’t fight for what you began.” You can see how the theme of the title makes itself apparent!

I feel like this song is a grower in the sense that it gets better when you already know what’s coming. On first listen it’s very unexpected and jarring especially if you’re used to their heavier work or their softer/more sexualised stuff. But when you step back and look at the song for what it is; the build up, the thudding drums, the chunkiness of the guitars, the spacey vocals, the first chorus not being full and then the second chorus adding on the next part to it, and then that riff at the end. MAN. To me that is some of the heaviest stuff I’ve ever heard and not on raw surface value, but within the context of the song. The whole song building to that last part absolutely destroying for a whole minute hits me different. I just feel like some people like Deftones for their ‘sexy’ gimmick songs and some people enjoy the whole spectrum

I feel the same thing George does with the parallel universe thing. This song definitely has a trippy sound

Favorite Deftones song 🖤

omg I just searched for "reaction rosemary deftones" and your video said "posted 2 minutes ago" 😂 excited for your guys reaction! been subscribed since you reacted to type o negative 🤗

Favourite Deftones songs -Poltergeist -Genesis -Dai the flu -Prayers/Triangles -Battle axe -Cherry waves

About damn time, gang!🔥 We needa’ see y’all react to Cherry Waves or Sextape🙌🏽

Deftones White Pony album is definitely in my top twenty or even ten albums of all time.

This song just makes me wanna go out for a night drive and then get high, laying on top of the hood my car looking up at the stars, while it just plays on repeat.

If you allow atmospheric music to fully suck you in to the ATMOSPHER, you guys will open your mind to alot more music than just catching the catchy 'groove' of songs

how have they not done "Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)"? I find that nuts!

This song is very synesthetic to me. The break down at the end for me is the sound of going through a black hole and then the section after is the beautiful realm at the other side.

this is one of those songs that you listen to alone chilling out and closing your eyes

This is their masterpiece, imo. It's flipped a lot of people to Deftones' fans. Great composition. Wonder if this grew on you.

Love your Deftones reactions, I find myself watching your videos multiple times because I love the band so much haha, can’t wait for Be Quiet and Drive one day.. 🫣

To me, Deftones is a different kinda band. its more than the sum of its parts... its like automatically understanding all the details of a painting if the painting was actually made of sound. its a mood, a feel, a trip.

I've just been going through Deftones for the first time literally like 2 days ago and I have been LOVING Rosemary, Entombed etc. etc. I CANNOT believe you guys are actually taking a look at the song I only just started loving.

Be Quiet and Drive is Deftones' most iconic song, can't believe you haven't done it yet given how many you've covered 😭 You keep picking their "trippy" songs instead of their bangers, you loved My Own Summer so maybe do more from that era... The band really changed their style up after their 2nd album as they tried to distance themselves (especially Chino) from the "nu metal" label, but that doesn't mean some of their earlier raw stuff doesn't rock - and is probably more your style. Songs like: - Be Quiet & Drive - Bored - 7 Words - Engine no. 9 - Around the Fur - Headup etc etc.

You have to listen to Tempest. Its on this same album, and it is just a champion of a song.

"I need a changeup." You got it.

This has become one of my favorite Deftones songs! It will grow on you…

According to Chino in an interview, some of then lyrics of "Rosemary" is about dealt in the experience of time traveling. However, I saw a comment that perfectly coordinate with the song: _“We play in dreams” might mean that Chino and Chi can meet up in dreams and experience good times again together as friends and bandmates. “Just stay with me” is calling for Chi to come out of his coma (which he was in at the time)…his death unfortunately occurred after this album was released, but perhaps it always was meant as calling Chi’s spirit to stay with them. The song points to transcending the confines of the body and limited world, of time and space._

Deftones is one of my favorite bands and this is my favorite song by them. Legendary. They were my first concert and they played this. It was incredible

Entombed is my favorite song on this album. Probably my favorite Deftones toon.

This song is for those times when you’ve had a mentally draining day, and just want to lay down, close your eyes and decompress. That’s when you can really appreciate the musical experience.

First time I ever heard this I had headphones on during a thunderstorm...great visuals. All I think about when I hear it

This album was written with original bassist Chi Cheng was still in a coma after a car crash, but the lyrics that Chino wrote for Rosemary seem to fit about dealing with this tragedy.

This album works best as a full listen. The lengthy ending of this song transitions perfectly into the next song on the album.

Wow. I haven’t really listened to Deftones in 20 some years. I’m digging this one! My band opened for these guys 20+ years ago.

Five words usually come to mind when deftones comes on “this is a badass jam”

This is one of those tracks that showcases Stephen Carpenter's genius. When we moved to Sac we lived not far from where Deftones went to HS, and everyone in town who has been here 10+ years has a Deftones story. One of my top five favorite bands of all time.

Even as a DEFTONES fan since the 90s, this is one I'm hearing the first time myself with you guys - I think. I love these guys though and you guys too I'm looking forward to it

'Lhabia' and 'Leathers' have been my favorites recently. Both great songs by Deftones.

“s**tape” is for me the quintessential Deftones song. Chino’s best vocal performance, Deftones’ smoothest and most melodic track since Change. it’s a tightly crafted mid tempo radio song which I think you would both really vibe with more so than a deep cut like this.

You guys need to listen to Be Quiet and Drive!! It’s a top 5 deftones song fs

This is definitely one that grows on you. The time will come when this pops up randomly on your Spotify and you will be so happy to welcome it.

Koi no yokan means “premonition of love” I always loved this album title paired with this cover which is the infinity room! I highly suggest you guys listen to MX! I’ve never thought I could pick a favorite track from deftones, but for some reason this is the song that I have always come to over and over, I bet you two would dig it!

This song is definitely a grower. I know some would say that good music has to catch you the first time, but I don't think that's the case. I really wasn't too fond of this song when I first heard it, but the more I heard it from just listening to the album, the more I've grown to love it. I do agree y'all should give it another listen. If it still doesn't hit, that's totally okay too. As far as other Deftones songs to check out, I'd suggest Rocket Skates(a bit heavier and more old school deftones sound) or Tempest(same album as Rosemary, but much more fast paced.)

Koi No Yokan. I remember hearing this back in 2012. I’ve been in love with Deftones ever since. Seen them twice live. Best experiences ever.

This song is beautiful and amazing is one of my favorites by Deftones.

probably my favorite Deftones song. You guys crushed it.

In my opinion the essence of Deftones is their atmospheric or floating sound. You can't say that "it's too long for me" if it's the changes that really make this great band unique. I value that and I hope they continue to do so.

I’m a huge deftones fan. This is my favorite song! I love you guys so much. Thank you

The reason it was hard to grab onto and roll along with is because with Koi No Yokan, listening to entire album is what drives each of the songs on it. You were essentially correct with your comments of it being an artistic essence that’s been captured. You guys definitely get it, but the songs on this album are a tough chew individually. Again… it’s an art piece. Listening to a single song off Koi No Yokan is like viewing a Picasso painting in black and white. Probably sounds like way too dramatic of a comparison, but that’s the best I got. lol

YES Artistic is the word, it paints pictures in you mind made of your memories and puts you back in touch with yourself. Great vid guys

Strongly recommend seeing them live because this song and entombed and diamond eyes live in person will change you.

I think ya'll would dig Entombed more for this album but yeah that's a top 3 deftones for me, chorus is majestic

Love this song, I would love a tour with Deftones, Sleep Token and A Perfect Circle. I feel like they all have the same vibe at points.

glad you guys got this. love this song so much

Honestly, I wasn't crazy on this track at first either. But it really does change on the subsequent listens, I highly encourage you guys to run it back like you said.

You HAVE to check out the music video for “Romantic Dream” so amazing and the atmosphere to the song is amazing!

One thing to consider is bands like Deftones still construct albums as an experience and a songs placement within it often adds to it. I'd love for you guys to do an album react sometime, if you have, I'll have to look after this post.

Can't believe it's been 5 years since y'all started this channel. Time really flies right on by like it's nothing. Love you guys hope you guys are living life to the fullest.

You guys finally came back to Deftones!! I’m gonna suggest a new band that sounds like deftones. They’re called Loathe and I’d recommend Two Way Mirror. Chino retweeted this song once. Also, PLEASE LISTEN TO ENTOMBED, it’s my favorite Deftones song. Nice seeing you back guys!

I love this whole album. This was the first Deftones album I listened to start to end. Love it.

I listen to this one when I go to sleep at night actually, haha

Love deftones, lets get on this vibe!!!

This is probably their best album. Check out "Leathers"

Deftones puts unexplainable feeling into song

i been with you guys for years. all of a sudden you pop up with a great song like this. you guys are the best. i think its about time i join the patreon. cheers from Oz boys

My man said "changes" love it! 😂

This is what would be referred to as an “album track” as opposed to a typical single. It’s one of my favorite Deftones songs, but it’s definitely meant to be enjoyed within the context of the album as a whole. The outro of this song is a great transition into Goon Squad which follows it

This whole album!! And, yeah, listening on camera and analyzing a song definitely takes on a different feel. This is a song you need to just chill to..

This is my favorite Deftones song, and the last two minutes, RYAN lol, are the best

Glad you guys came back to Deftones! love your reactions still.

Easily one of my favorite songs of all time.

When this album came out I took 2 hits of LSD for my first listen and went through it about 3 times that night. It was so perfect due to that artsy feel because of how dreamy some of these songs feel mixed with how groovy they can get. I will always regard this as my favorite because of that night.

Definitely in my top 3 Deftones songs all time. So glad you guys reacted to this!!

Damn I don't think I ever heard this one before...a banger!!! I love it...other wordly to me..PLAYLIST

This was the album I started with when I found Deftones. My favorite for sure

IMO this is one of the finest deftones songs ever

Love Deftones! So happy you all finally got to this one. It's one of my absolute favorites!

One of my favourite songs of theirs. Glad you guys did a reaction to it. Been a Deftones fan since the 90's and have seen them every time they come down here to Australia 😎 Give Hexagram, Bloody Cape, Around The Fur, a listen

8:35 that Chino impression is spot on 😂 This song is one of the epitomes of Deftones’ writing style. Perfectly displays their more atmospheric side through Chino and Frank’s keys and balancing it perfectly with Steph, Sergio, and Abe’s grooves. I love using this song to introduce new listeners to them especially if they typically aren’t heavy music fans.

this whole album is a banger, front to back not a single bad song on it.

Deftones are that band that can make a empty room feel cramped...... The wall of sound they emit can be seen from space. 🤘🥴🤘

Been waiting for this. Always wondered why the patron link didn't work lol. Love you guys. Thanks.
