I feel bad for Romantic Dreams cause that is such a good track. Swerve City Entombed Leathers (Also an insanely tough match up) Poltergeist
Swerve City (second fav opener of theirs, the bass line in the verses makes me swoon) Rosemary (this HURTS, but Rosemary just slightly takes the edge) Leathers What Happened to You (Poltergeist is honestly one of my least favorites on the album, just never really has clicked with me on the level of most of the rest of the album)
Many of the songs on this album aren't their most powerful or diverse, but the order choices and overall tone of the album is perfectly done. I've done a full listen through so many times and it takes you up and down, left and right while hitting all the best parts of Deftones.
Been following this thread randomly but this is the first round I felt compelled to vote in. Rosemary is easily the best song in their discography, while Entombed has always felt like a solid idea that didn't get fleshed out to its full potential (this actually describes several other tracks on KNY, too).
Romantic Dreams (I swear this isn't a pity vote! No one believes me... but it's true) Rosemary (damn) Leathers Poltergeist
If it went up against any other song but Rosemary, it would have my vote. My top two songs on the album.

I think it's more that RD is not especially well regarded. The combo of weak lyrics and feeling like the verses are duct taped to the chorus does it in, even though there are some great riffs and musical ideas buried behind the flaws. I have the same complaints about Entombed.
