One of the better Deftones imports
Most of the old Deftones imports just had the title track, and some live songs, or maybe an acoustic one now and then, but I guess the record company finally decided to give the people what they want. The imports from the Deftones newest self-titled album have been by far the best imports ever released for album. Both of the Imports for the self-titled, "Minerva" and "Hexagram", contain unreleased music. I think this is the first time when all the singles from the album have had an unreleased song on them. "Minerva" is definitely the better buy of the two however. Not only do you get the wonderfully magnificent title song, but you also get two unreleased rarities. The first is a cover of Helmet's "Sinatra". The Deftones definitely make the song all their own, and when it's done, you can't really imagine that the song wasn't theirs to begin with. "Sleep Walk" is an odd experimental cover song that will definitely turn some heads of fans. All in all this is a great import single to get, because you can't beat what you're getting and the price you're paying. I think they're going for $5. 00 on here. What better reason to buy?.


Deftones - The Sweetest Perfection
This gorgeous, hypnotic song reached #1 on the top 40 billboard in August of 1959. 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. 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!!!

Very Good for a Single CD..
Although i previously bought deftones prior to this, it doesnt mean that i don't like Minerva. trust me when i say this: this CD single is awesome. In fact, i love it, even though there are way better songs on the rest of the album. Overall, a good product to buy if you like the Deftones. The song "Sinatra" that they covered off of Helmet is awesome. And os is Helmet. This song is the song that got me into Helmet in the first place. And all i have to say is: thank you, Deftones! The last song, "Sleepwalk", is like a nice sort of song to go walk and listen to at the same time. . It's also a nice sort of "beach" music.


When She Sings It's Over
As something that evokes strong emotions in everyone, while most universally agree on its beauty, it's a hidden gem in the world. 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. 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.


Oh yes
Track 2 "Sinatra" is a Helmet cover, from their old (1990) Strap It On days. Track 1 "Minerva" is a fine ballad-type song by the Deftones, available on their new CD called Deftones. 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.
