Saturday Night Wrist is the fifth studio album by the American alternative metal band Deftones, released on October 31, 2006, by Maverick Records. Despite early contributions that were later scrapped, it marked the departure of Terry Date, who had produced the band's first four albums. It was also the last Deftones album with bassist Chi Cheng, as well as the last album of his career and his lifetime, prior to being involved in a serious car accident in 2008, which put him in a coma. He eventually died five years later from cardiac arrest.
Saturday Night Wrist was the product of an arduous and stressful creative process lasting roughly two years and straining relationships within the band. Inspiration for the album was also largely influenced by the singer Chino Moreno's drug addictions and the crumbling of his marriage. As such, he ranks it as his least favorite Deftones album.[1][2] The final result was an album met with praise from fans and critics alike, with some critics applauding the album following the band's self-titled effort.[3][4]
