not sarcastic. they're actualizing the vision in a way deftones haven't been able to. maybe they have more freedom to avoid constraints and preconceptions. dunno. but for somebody that's tried more than twice to get into deftones, and would definitely enjoy their work more if they'd drop the macho stupidity, this hits the spot.
there's a new album out any day, now. i'd argue it's one of the most anticipated records of the year....
