I was a HUGE deftones fan from ages 12 till about 4 years ago. I also don't like anything post-White Pony, but I keep hearing all this hype about the new album.
I'm too scared to listen. What if I actually like it? haha.
And fatally: I felt the SAME way for a very long time. I took a listen to the albums post-White Pony & they're pretty great. The newest 2 songs that they put out are very Adrenaline-esque.
