Typical with digipaks, the Deftones digipak "Diamond Eyes" contains the music CD as well as a Dvd Normally containing behind the scenes content from the band. The digipak has the album art on the front where as the on the back theres is a track listing as well a synopsis of DVD content. The album could have some tribute to the comatosed bassist Chi Cheng. The connection between an owl and "Diamond Eyes" could symbolise the overwatch and the thought the band has towards the bassist as he recovers from his state. The first inside cover contains a brief introduction to the band and the album, a feature that is rarely seen among popular artists digipaks. One could argue that these introductions help the band/artist retain a strong connection with their fan base. The contrasting colours of Black and orange could represent the feeling the band is going through at the moment as they progress without Chi Cheng. This album certainly doesn't produce highs as "White pony" did however it shows progression from a recent tragedy. The art and colour scheme is certainly typical of Nu- Metal digipaks, Diamond eyes undoubtedly follows this trend.
