Saturday Night Wrist by Deftones
Saturday Night Wrist is an album by Deftones, released in 2006. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Hole in the Earth”, on 12 lists with a best position of #36.
Saturday Night Wrist, Deftones' fifth studio album, came out on Maverick on October 31, 2006, after roughly two grinding years that frayed nerves inside the Sacramento band. Chino Moreno was struggling with drug addiction and a failing marriage, and both seeped into the songs; he ranks it as his least favorite Deftones record.
It doesn't sound like a band coming apart, though. Stephen Carpenter's riffs land like slabs of concrete, Frank Delgado's keys and samples smear the edges, Abe Cunningham keeps everything lurching forward, and "Hole in the Earth" pairs a crushing groove with one of Moreno's most anguished hooks. Fans and critics largely came around to it. It turned out to be their last album for Maverick and the last with bassist Chi Cheng, who was badly hurt in a 2008 car accident and died five years later.
