Sweet.
In the future, Metalfan, I think you should just post this information in the already existing thread ("Rocket Skates") and have the person who started the thread change the title. That way it's one thread for the history of the lead single off the new Deftones album.

"Rocket Skates" is now streaming in full on the Deftones myspace. There is also a free download available if you look at their myspace blog posts. I think "Rocket Skates" is okay, but "Diamond Eyes" will have to be better for me to get excited in anticipation of this album.

Good lookin' out, though.

Rocket Skates is a bit heavy for radio in my opinion.

Some of those titles sound like they should be some pretty awesome songs. "You've Seen The Butcher" sounds brutal.

I'm wondering if CMND/CNTRL will be similar to the Konami Code song from Saturday Night Wrist.

"This Place Is Death” has to be a Lost reference. :)

The Deftones never disappoint in having the most fascinating, intriguing song titles that just put a smile on my face, as I ponder what they could possibly sound like. Like these: With "You've Seen the Butcher," it feels like there's a missing punchline to fill in, like "Now see the ______" or something of that nature. Other fantastic Deftones song titles (which have only gotten noticeably more interesting on the last few albums) include: Rickets Digital Bath Hexagram Good Morning Beautiful Deathblow* When Girls Telephone Boys Battle-axe Bloody Cape Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event [The Konami Code] Rats!Rats!Rats! Pink Cellphone *This always reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld when Kramer had that friend who bootlegged movies, which Jerry first noticed at a movie called Deathblow. He takes Kramer out to the lobby to express how nervous and uncomfortable he is about being at the movies with a bootlegger. Soon enough an explosion can be heard from back inside the theater, at which point Kramer whines to Jerry, "Oh, man! We're missing the deathblow!"

Yeah, definitely. To add to your list, I think "Be Quiet And Drive" is also a really good song title. And "Kimdracula" is very intriguing as I have no idea what it means.
"Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event" probably wins for me though. It's just such a provocative concept for a song. And it's a mighty fine song at that.

Um...Yeah? Even if I'd never seen this title and they shortened it to "Butcher" or "The Butcher" it would make me smile, pondering what a Deftones song with that title might sound like. The best possible outcome, of course, would be if it wasn't the heaviest, scream-iest song on the album, but actually a gentle ballad.

Drawing attention to the fact that something that sounds so morbid would make you smile.

Yeah you're right it's 11/8. I guess what I meant is I was rocking out in 6/8 and then there are these 5/8 measures that are unexpected but also feel natural. I didn't listen again to realize that it's just alternating 6/8 and 5/8 until now, but you're dead on. The end of the clip I would just say is 6/8 again, just cuz the kick hits on the downbeat of the first 3 eighth notes and the snare on what would be the fourth of a six-note eighth note group.
Either way, I think that 30-second clip sounds like a song that I'll like more than "Rocket Skates", and a song that'll top Sevendust - "Unraveling", Slipknot - "Snuff", and Janus - "Eyesore" for my top song currently on the active rock chart, assuming "Diamond Eyes" charts on active soon, which should be all but a certainty.
And that's saying a lot...you know how much I love my Sevendust!

I loved that preview! No doubt this will be much better than "Rocket Skates".

This is pretty good, I'd say it definitely retains their classic sound.

It's a leak, so the sound quality is sub-par, but still this is very cool. Based on 1 listen and 5-10 listens to "Rocket Skates," I still prefer RS, though.

My station just premiered this 2 minutes ago, actually. I'd be surprised if it didn't chart by the end of the week. And with an instantly more memorable chorus than "Rocket Skates" (plus being the first official single and all), I'd be surprised if this didn't ultimately find its way to #1 on either chart, with such a dearth of good songs by established bands that stations can really rally around right now.
