CD ReviewsDeftones - The Sweetest Perfection MisanthropicGirl | Jersey | 01/07/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "For those of you who need to learn a thing or two about music: The track "Sleepwalk" is a cover song originally written and performed by a duo that went by the name of Santo & Johnny. This gorgeous, hypnotic song reached #1 on the top 40 billboard in August of 1959. Their sparse music career lasted until 1964, and "Sleepwalk" was their only hit. Minerva is a wonderful, uplifting tune. As far as "Sinatra" and "Sleepwalk" go...well, any obscure deftones find is a rare gem, as many of their songs are--hard chords spun through dark, seductive, and often narrative lyrics and melodies, accompanied by Chino Moreno's sultry sing/scream--and I cannot think of any band that has satisfied me more in the past decade. Viva La Deftones!!! " Oh yes G. C JONES | Somerville, MA United States | 08/04/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Track 1 "Minerva" is a fine ballad-type song by the Deftones, available on their new CD called Deftones. Track 2 "Sinatra" is a Helmet cover, from their old (1990) Strap It On days. The song is great and this kind of tribute has been missing in the industry. Track 3 "Sleep Walk" is also a cover, a famous jazzy guitar tune, laid back and easy. You will recognize it. Overall, this is a very interesting and varied single, and the B-sides (produced by the Deftones) are worth it." When She Sings It's Over Lauri A. Anderson | Michigan | 08/10/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you were to order this import, no matter the cost, only for the title track - 'Minerva' - I would understand utterly and completely, because even with only three tracks, this song is so utterly gorgeous that it's worth it. As something that evokes strong emotions in everyone, while most universally agree on its beauty, it's a hidden gem in the world. I would recommend this song to any living, breathing person on earth, and say it with my held held high. If you haven't heard 'Minerva', then you need to."
