6/20/12 I deleted the phrase "it is considered their darkest album" because it is outdated. Saturday Night Wrist, released three years later and recorded during the height of Chino Moreno's drug addiction and divorce, has since been generally accepted as the band's darkest work. Also, the deleted sentence had no source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.182.145.226 (talk) 21:42, 20 June 2012 (UTC) The page begining and the info box contridict one another, could some one edit the correct date? - user:xxpor[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Deftones.jpeg[edit]

Image:Deftones.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Genre[edit]

I think I might have found some things to add as sourced genres, but I'm pretty sure the community is going to hate them. So I'm bringing it here first. I know that the narrative seems to be that Deftones left nu metal behind on this album, but... it keeps showing up. [1] [2] I think post-metal or its nickname metalgaze could be cited with this: [3] Additionally, I found a whole lotta simply "metal". But I don't know if that's useful enough to include. dannymusiceditor oops 19:00, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Allmusic review says nothing about nu metal. Metacritic and the "Metalgaze" refs are correct SpaceHelmetX1 (talk) 19:15, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Implemented. I am preparing for the horde. dannymusiceditor oops 16:08, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
idk... I still think the Allmusic review doesn't explicitly label the album as nu-metal. SpaceHelmetX1 (talk) 16:59, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I argue the quote I placed in the Allmusic ref is saying the band is "play[ing] by the nu metal reviews" on the album by comparing them to the times they are not. In any case, I think there was one more out there while I was looking through them that called it nu metal, but the one works for now. I'll add it soon. dannymusiceditor oops 18:20, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Q Magazine review explicitly says nu metal. "In a genre considered creatively bankrupt, this is genuinely new metal" SpaceHelmetX1 (talk) 19:09, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Careful with that one. The specific way they worded that is ambiguous. Someone who is familiar with nu metal and its history might pick up the context from the so-called "creative bankruptcy" that by 2003 nu metal was mostly stale and declining, but to an outsider, "genuinely new" could be interpreted as simply a new, unique outlook/approach on heavy metal as a whole. dannymusiceditor oops 20:09, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The album was not positively received upon release[edit]

I'm not going to go out of my way to say that it was negatively received, but look at the reviews, you can't honestly claim it's solely positive based on 3-4 major publications. Agree to disagree and include that it was mixed. Fans might enjoy it but the critics didn't seem as enthusiastic, though it wasn't what I'd call negative, change it to mixed and agree to compromise. PontiacAurora (talk) 21:10, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The position that it was "positively received" is drawn from a Metacritic metric. Running off that is generally the norm for album critical reception sections when talking as a whole. We can include some of the more negative reception, of course, but their overview generally guides how we head the section's reception. dannymusiceditor oops 21:50, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That’s just your outlook on it though, I bought it back in 2003, it was very polarizing to say the least. I think he’s right in saying it received a mixed reception as opposed to positive. Metacritic doesn’t exactly speak for all critics ya know? Just sayin 2600:1012:B1C9:F735:7D87:7DD4:4A3D:4354 (talk) 00:26, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On Wikipedia they do. They do in fact have a phrase for different scores; a 74, which is what was collected by MC for this album, falls under "generally positive". dannymusiceditor oops 00:44, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Metacritic is only one source though, you're really letting your own personal bias overtake the factual piece of this. PontiacAurora (talk) 20:05, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Come again? Metacritic is an entire collection of sources, and you are edit warring. The introduced disputed content is not displayed until full consensus is reached. And unless you take it to WP:ALBUMS, you won't get it here. dannymusiceditor oops 20:33, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You cited ONE major source, how many times do I have to repeat myself? We can gladly escalate this to the admins if you keep letting your bias overtake the factual evidence. PontiacAurora (talk) 20:55, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You don't get what Metacritic is, do you? They have a collection of like eight external reviews from other publications. That's why using their assessment makes so much sense, it gathers many reputable publications into one reference. If you wanna find any other sources which collectively refer to the album's reception as mixed and throw em in, feel free, but we don't have any right now, and I don't think there are any others that speak on its reception as a whole. dannymusiceditor oops 21:02, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Content dispute[edit]

Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:39, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does the album fall under the Nu Metal Label?[edit]

I mean... Minerva, Needles & Pins, and Bloody Cape fall under the umbrella, but besides that; the band wanted to depart from the nu metal sound they had on White Pony PontiacAurora (talk) 06:06, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible to display the opinions of multiple different sources, and I thought we did include that view of trying to move past it already. If we did not, we can definitely include it, provided there such sources are available (and I'm sure there are some somewhere). But let's not exclude what's already reliably sourced, either. dannymusiceditor oops 17:46, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
