Oh, my, god! What an album! & I’m not just saying that because I’m a big fan (See quotes from reviews below)

Anyone who feels metal can’t be beautiful has obviously never listened to Deftones, for they’ve spent their career crafting crushingly effective metal tracks disguised in the sensuous gleam of grace and eroticism. Koi No Yokan is masterful. It is textbook Deftones and yet, at the same, offers so much more – it’s adventurous, it’s exotic, it’s dramatic. It smacks of a cerebral intensity and contained ferocity that goes above and beyond the dark romanticism for which they’ve always been known.

 

Koi No Yokan is an opus, and a terrific one at that. The band’s vision and skill remain second to none in their field and they have executed this record sublimely. It is filled with deep and twisting ravines and will absorb your attention utterly for quite some time.

SCORE: 10/10

Gorgeous, evocative, inventive, aggressive, explosive, anthemic—it's everything and more you could want from a Deftones record and an embarrassment to every other hard rock band out there diddling around on their instruments with caveman aimlessness. It's a record that takes you places… one that refuses to give itself up on the first go, unraveling slowly over each repeat pass… and one that I can just intuitively feel we're going to be listening to (and talking about) for the rest of our lives.

Grade: A+

Koi No Yokan is so immediately addictive and grandiose that it beggars belief.

 

2012 was already one of the best years of forward thinking heavy music for a long time, but now Deftones may have arrived at the top of the list. This is truly sensational.

With Koi No Yokan, Deftones have delivered a calculated and fragile devastation, a feather floating upward in the calming air of the eye of a hurricane. There are no disjointed moments, no breaks in flow; the album is a richly-layered jedi high-wire dance that makes one wonder where the 52 minutes went, a conveyance of truly impressive growth, while flexing the entirety of strengths the band is founded upon.

Rating 10/10

They may never reach these heights again, but Koi No Yokan (Japanese for "love at first sight") is a perfect title for a near-perfect album.

Stars: 5/5

Verdict: What every metal act should aspire to.

Through and through “Koi No Yokan” is the most endearing of the bands discography. Removed from the butting of heads and the ego-driven pissing contests; its unified vision represents growth both sonically and spiritually for a band previously mired in conflict.

Like Diamond Eyes proved to us before, Deftones are back at their creative peaks, performing tracks that leap into new territories as well as dig back into older ones, resulting in an extremely wholesome and satisfying return. But Koi No Yokan isn’t just a repeat performance — it’s the work of a group of ultra-talented individuals who have put their differences aside in order to fully realize and guide their energies from the emotional complexities that have wrought them into something flourishing and highly memorable. The differences between the albums rest in the group’s ability this time around to deliver their power from the moment the album begins to the time it ends, cementing a new era of Deftones that I hope continues to keep them in the top tier of musical entities.
