...jumper proved to be the deathblow as the Leopards never again shrank the deficit below double-digits, prompting the strangest twist...
...history of the genre is that it sounds fantastic. Loud-soft dynamics are a staple of nu-metal, but Deftones doesn't just shift mood and rhythm from song to song--sometimes heavy-handedly, as in the back-to-back placement of dissonantly named tracks Good Morning Beautiful and Deathblow.

Sometimes the metal fittings read as shells or tusks, sometimes as prostheses and sometimes as primitive tools from a remote past haunted by medieval forest fears.
