As Christmas draws nearer the music releases start to warm up. This week we have several eagerly awaited albums releasing, here's one of them.

The Deftones' new album Koi No Yokan releases tomorrow. This album recieved a 5/5 review in the NZ Herald so is well worth the investment.

We're informed that the Japanese title of the album sort of means love at first sight and as one of our followers on twitter said, “a premonition of love when you meet someone. You don't love them yet but you know love is inevitable.” We'll have to take their word for it!
