Because they are playing Download and im not quite sure if i want to watch them yet. I know some Saxon stuff but when it came to starting to grab certain albums I didn't have a clue so went for this for starters.

DEFTONES - DIAMOND EYES (2010)
I wanted to hear this one anyway but they are also playing Download so wanted to give it a spin beforehand.

It's interesting that you didn't start out with Solid Air. It's a wonderful album and definitely my favourite ever folk release. I love this verse from Don't Want to Know:
Yes, it's getting hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
'Cause all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotised
As for Saxon, they're a bit dated and cheesy but if you don't mind that and you like NWOBHM then Wheels of Steel will be right up your alley. I still need to hear the new Deftones.
