Koi no Yokan is exactly the kind of follow up that I’ve expected. Sounds simple and romantic, isn’t it? In an interview from Metal Hammer magazine, frontman Chino Moreno confessed that the title was nicked from fellow metal frontman, Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan.ĭespite the album title, it doesn’t change their attitude in terms of music. Koi no Yokan literally means ‘Premonition of Love’ in Japanese. Koi no Yokan that was released recently is expected to live up to the legacy that Diamond Eyes has created. People would have expected that Deftones would release an album like White Pony after it was released, now it has repeated again after Diamond Eyes. It is true that success builds expectation. Diamond Eyes for me was a massive record. Both self-titled album (2003) and Saturday Night Wrist (2006) were the records where they were confused and didn’t quite live up to the expectation the audience had after the cult classic White Pony (2000) Thus, no one would have expected that their album in 2010, Diamond Eyes, would be a massive change from the previous two albums. However, we have to admit that Deftones post White Pony era was dreadful. It’s quite ironic that the fact that Deftones is finally back on their right track after their bassist Chi Cheng lay unconscious in a comatose state after a car accident in 2008, and forced them to put their unreleased material ‘Eros’ on hold.
