Option 4: S/T

i will go with s/t... its a great album to listen to in the car on a road trip, its heavy enough to keep you awake, but mellow enough so ya dnt get road rage... i love to drive... plus moana, AUE, and hexagram all fuckin rool...
if you choose the last option, say why you cant pick only one, or at least put your fave songs from each album...
White pony cause its the easiest one to sing along too plus its great also.
a question that has given me many sleepless nights and accompanied me throughout many a boring and delayed london underground journey
i'll say around the fur for now. but im sure i told someone the other day that white pony was my favourite.
Around the Fur was so damn fresh and revolutionary for the time and has some sick monents in it. plus it has bqad my fave song.
but wp has so many more melodic, beautiful moments
but i'll still say atf
White pony.
the whole album got me playing guitar.
It just an amazing album from beggining to end.
around the fur.....it was the first deftones album i bought, the album has pretty brutal moments like rickets and lotion, but at the same time songs like lhabia, dai the flu, and mx have an Eerie/romantic feel to them which i love, plus i thino chino's voice singing and screaming sounds the best on this album. its an album i can put on during a party and listen to straight through or one i can make out to :lol:
White Pony is my favorite album by any band at any time.
i love them all, i don't categorize them. stupid thread if you ask me.
(give me some backup people :))
Around The Fur, I connect with it the most. Simple as that.

nuff said
White Pony.
Best lyrics, awesome melodies, and very experimental.
most original thread EVER
and i voted Adrenaline
White Pony, because in my opinion it's their best work.
Quote from: "c-shells"White Pony, because in my opinion it's their best work.
I totally agree, but Adrenaline is still my fav
why yall hatin on my oosum threads? and why ya all hatin on the s/t? i think it has some of their best songs, i already mentiond them, but am i really the only one that thinks "deftones" is tha boost?
it is a tossup between white pony and around the fur both have impacted me personally and have been the soundtrack to my life at some point in time
but i am going to go with white pony
theyre all good but i would go with either white pony or self titled.
at teh moment im most enjoying around the fur,i guess it goes will with summer pretty well .but my all time fav deftones album is adrenaline.there best work is without a doubt white pony of course.
Around The Fur. Why? Because its gooder than the other albums.
AROUND THE FUR!!!!!
adrenaline
adrenalina is my fav i like the heavy sound of deftones dont get me wrong i like the other albums but i like adrenalina better
has to be white pony for me,its so bitter sweet,its like all things in life something bad can come out of something beautiful but thats just my opinion
the white horse coz it helped my little lost soul a lot
wonder what's next
ok , white pony then
I voted white pony. I think S/T has them at their best combining ultaheavy with the soft stuff and seemlessly integrating electronics into their sound, however I just loved hearing the experimental-ness lol of White Pony and knowing that that sound would be further carried on in the future.

Reason: first one I ever bought when it came out and actually didn't like it, but it absolutely grew on me and became my all time favorite album/band.
s/t becuz its the most intense, and it was the first one i got.
around the fur...headup all the way
white pony by far.
the perfect album. perfect mixture of soft and heavy.
franks work on that album is damn brilliant and atmospheric, chinos voice is fucking electric. every single thing chino does on that record vocally, is just kickass. when he hits the high note on digital bath, chills run down my spine like no other. not to mention, the lyrics are his best, eerie and beautiful and mysterious, and damn near creepy (fieticiera, knife party)
i could go on forever about how great white pony is.
gets better every time i hear it.

feiticeira and knife prty :P but u r totally right!
man i can't decide, it depends on what mood im in. if i had a fucking exhausting night it calls for some pony or s/t. if i forget where my roots are and can't think of something to listen to i fucking pop in around the fur because its my favorite FUCKING album of all time. i throw in adrenaline when i've listened to all the other albums alot. ya i guess that was an answer....
my favorite is Adrenaline because I love every single song on that album.I bought it 6 years ago and everytime I listen to it you'd think it was the first time cause I listen to the album all the way through,I pay attention to the lyrics and Steph has awesome guitar riffs in it 8) .I have a drawer full of a bucnh of cds i've bought over the years but don't listen to anymore and all the deftones cds are still in my cd wallet thing that I take everywhere with me :D .
white pony all the way, it introduced me to the deftones.

I can relate...I did not like Adrenaline for the longest time. Wow has that changed, its not my favorite album...but sometimes it sounds so damn good.
I've been always saying for 4 years that White Pony was my favorite album. Now I don't even remember what was my arguments over the years. I only know that it's the best album I have ever heard in my entire little life. It's only the best set of songs in one darn good album.
cominngg baaackk aaarrooouunndd the fur... best album by them in my opinion cuz of Headup, MOS, BQAD, and of coarse ATF it self , and many more great songs
And i'm also kind o proud of people for not skull fucking others opinions .
eg.
Guy #1: "My favourite album is ATF"
Guy #2: "YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!! WHO THE FUCK LIKES THAT ALBUM!?!?!? YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT DEFTONES!!! EVERYONE KNOWS THE BEST ALBUM IS WHITE PONY!!! GO FUCKING DIE, YOU COCK SUCKING, PILLOW BITING MOTHER FUCKER!!!!....
thats just an example, and i'm glad there hasn't been any of it, must say some real mature people here. i'm enjoying the stay.
dude, you ain't no pimp, go away you fake whore-sellerer!!!
ATF is my fav album on this planet, i get shivers when i hear chino's angel voice in BQAD. dai the flu and mx have this dark,beautiful , romantic feel to them while headup, rickets and lotion are heavy as fuck which is up my alley
White Pony, since it's my favourite album by anyone, followed by "40oz to Freedom" by Sublime maybe.
White Pony is so good, because the creative melodicness of the entire album.
White Pony
It just has a certain feel to it, i love chino's vocals on this record the most. But, i guess i will always love this album the most, cuz of the tracks:
Feiticeira
Knife Prty
Korea
Pink Maggit
Awesome shit, though, i love all their albums, ATF and Adrenaline for their angry sounds, and S/T for it's beautiful mix between soft and hard.
Deftones owns.
my fav is defnitly s/t
because it's so fuckin incredible. The sound is awesome it's soft and hard at the same time somehow and it'S atmosphere makes me feel more wonderful than the other albums', but their still do , too.
i can't stop loving that record

My point exactly...I feel the same way
fuck you alvarez or w/e the fuck your name is, your face looks like a mutated cunt so go fuck yourself. my name doesn't actualy mean i'm a pimp. where do you live? if it's anywhere near calgary alberta canada i;ll give you my adress and come, i've had one hell of a bad day, knocking out a cocky 14 year old would be just excellent.

Haha ... Nicely put. Made me laugh.
I don't know what my favorite is. I think White Pony is the best album, mostly because it's definitely their most rounded and professionally done album. As mentioned before, it's just about perfect. It should be rated no less than 5 stars on allmusic.com but it's only rated 4.
But, it doesn't have songs like:
Root, Fireal, Be Quiet and Drive, Around The Fur, Hexagram, When Girls Telephone Boys...
Too hard to pick a favorite.
I am really looking forward to their new album, I have a feeling that it will be badass on a grand scale.
if i had been a fan since '97 or so then maybe my choice would have been ATF, but since i'm always a little late i say WHITE PONY. because everything you guys said about how brilliant it is is true. the music really became a part of me.
i voted ATF. it's always been my favourite. if someone asks me to chose 1 deftones album to show them i would go with WP though, since it's the album that sets them apart from a lot of other bands...
ah cool, ive never seen this before.
white pony. it has a nice atmosphere and when im drunk or stoned it sounds even better
plus digital bath is the best song ever

I was kinda a late commer myself but I still chose ATF. Seven Words on Adrenaline was sick though. Every album I've listened to I've found atleast two songs I love.
But ATF has MX on it... :D
adrenaline is my all time fav, if i had like linus that would be it. lots of great songs mmguh!
Quote from: "stoneFeD"adrenaline is my all time fav, if i had like linus that would be it. lots of great songs mmguh!

Well atleast they have no albums that i'm disappointed by or can't listen to on a daily basis.

hehe , he just made me angry because it was immature and he had no reason to say it, but yes i will be your friend and teach you my ways of the diss lol.
Around The Fur
if i listen to adrenaline, it's the best.
if i listen to ATF, it's the best.
if i listen to WhitePony, it's the best.
if i listen to the S/T, it's the best.
so i really cant decide.
Pony! Cuz I started 2 listen to Deftones from this album. As 4 me it's one of the greatest albums ever! I luv every song from it, but most of all, of course, Change (ITHOF), well I can listen to it thousands times...and it never bothers me.
wow, white pony has the most votes.
its a great album but around the fur is the best to me.
probably because it was the first album of theirs i listened to. and i was in this weird point in my life where all the songs in that album helped me out.
Quote from: "raynor"Quote from: "stoneFeD"adrenaline is my all time fav, if i had like linus that would be it. lots of great songs mmguh!

hah, you'd say that if you knew me, but you dont so there you go.
btw. i have no regards for corn
My favorite Deftones album would have to be... White pony for sure... i love every song on it and it was the first Deftones CD i bought. i love it to death!!!! and i love passenger thats probably my favorite song...
Adrenaline............ cause it changed everything for me, the first time my friend played it for me, I loved it so much..... I stole it from him, I had no case for it but took it everywhere I went, played it for every person I came across, the CD eventually became trashed and only Bored and Root were playable..... I still have that cd today(of course I bought a new one), but still have that one, it's fucked up and barely plays, but it means alot to me, It holds alot of memories
thats awesome i wish i had a story like that but i cam across Deftones by some friends who wanted me to hear RX queen and passenger... ever since then i have loved Deftones sooo much
i would have to say around the fur it was my 1st deftones cd and i loved it and i still love it i listen to that cd the most it just gets me going i love all of the cds dont get me wrong i love all of them but that one is just does something to me
Quote from: "Fireal1222"adrenaline
really? no way
around the fur for me.
White Pony for sure, ive listened to that album every day for the past 2 years no joke, maybe not the whole album everytime but at least 4 songs of it
QuoteWhite Pony for sure, ive listened to that album every day for the past 2 years no joke, maybe not the whole album everytime but at least 4 songs of it
haha im the same way i listen to White Pony every night lol god! i love it!!!
i like them all
the more i think about it
i think maybe the (like)linus demos are my favorite collection of songs by them
Like Linus is a really catchy cd
Look at this, those tentative titles were really cool

Can you acctually buy that cd, I know when my friend burned me that cd after it leaked ,he had those down as the names of the songs, when I first bought the cd I was like wtf cause I didn't understand why the songs I had weren't on there, but It was the exact same cd
Man.. Is that cd's in print .. cause if so then my white pony cd collection is not complete

If you could just point me in the right direction, I would make me very happy
No Ebay though... unless thats the only place to find it
adrenaline mos def. it was easily the most honest album they've put out. i like atf the best for road tripping, but adrenaline has the best front to back listening value. the final 3 songs in a row is one of my favorite transitions in my listening collection. the latter 2 cd's are great, but more for pulling songs out of rather than listening through.

I knew those were working titles, I was just told that cd really did exsist, I would rather it not, that way I don't have to spend time and money to look for it, plus that means my white pony collection IS complete
yeah it was somethin that a dude did, the front cover is really good compared with the REAL one.
fuck! what a hard decision! 8)
thats too hard man!...i cant even say ,coz i have no clue...
i guess Adrenalin had really awfull production. The Guitars were over scooped and the vocals werent strong enough and Chino had an accent on that album...the audio quality on that album sucked!
i think ATF was the first album to really impress me...way better recording..
but WP was perfectly recorded! a perfect album.a perfect recording!Great vocals from Chino
as for S/T...Fucking awsome album...listen to it all the time 8) its allgood
Hmmm...every Deftones cd is special in it's own ways...but if I had to play favorites, I would go with Around the Fur. It got me into the Deftones with Be Quiet and Drive (still my favorite song), and is packed full of other goodies like Lotion, Headup, and Around the Fur. White Pony is close behind, with such a great lineup like Passenger and Feitciteria and Digital Bath, different and awesome at hte same time. Every Deftones album is awesome...it's so hard to pick.
all great for different reasons,
atf is my fav of all time peroid, because its just my baby
the new album is my new favorite. haven't even heard it yet, and i know it will be the best
Going with the non-sellout heavy album, Around the Fur
youre an idiot

which one was sell out? did they release one under my nose or something?
Around the fur and White pony , i can't chose both have some great songs
Digital bath = be quiet and drive....... My own summer = Korea hmmmm
holy shit you're a chick!!!
atf. lhabia best song.
white pony coz it holds so many memories
around the fur, although it used to be my least favorite
the drums and guitar mesh so well on that album
Around The Fur, simply because its the heaviest.
all the albums are good...
but seriously...around the fur....
It is hard choose one...
When i heard Adrenaline..i thought...this is the best in all the world....then came Around the Fur...and i thought the same...then WP..and always is like that...jaja....so that´s the shit...
Adrinaline...Because it was my first...It took my cherry
I can remember sitting in my house while a big party was goin on and just jamming the shit out of it until the cops came...which they did, made us pour out over 60 some odd beers into the sink
But the whole time they were there... Adrenaline was playing in the CD player(on a lower volume of course)..but I could hear it the whole time
And the great part was the fact that everyone there(all 20 of us) got off on no charges.....That's why I love That CD
We were like 17 then....Man it was a great time
Quote from: "Sulankalië"It is hard choose one...
When i heard Adrenaline..i thought...this is the best in all the world....then came Around the Fur...and i thought the same...then WP..and always is like that...jaja....so that´s the shit...
haha thats how it was for me, only in a diffrent order. i first listened to WP and just fell in love with it after the first track , i was like wow. then i heard atf i think, i was like damn ,this shit is tight, good good band. and then i heard adrenaline, i was like whoa does this band have any bad albums, this is too good and adrenaline became my favorite for the longest time.but now its ATF.
atf

This is the most difficult question. I don't question myself these things. I mean, I have them all and I can listen them all, so why would I choose?
But for conversation's sake, I just have to go with White Pony. I mean, I like the raw and in your face approach of Adrenaline, I like the hard and evolutionised Around The Fur, I like the moody and epic self titled, but White Pony is just plain old experimental, trippy and all things said, perfect music. It's the one, the killer record, the one that earns them the most respect from me. It's emotional, erotic, dared, hard and soft. It's all.
Deftones self titled becouse it is so too much fucking out there...
White pony is not only my favorite deftones album, but the best hour of music that i've ever witnessed.
The whole album covers the whole spectrum of emotions, every song seems amazingly thought out, you could dance, cry, laugh and fuck to the songs, and everytime i put it on i forget about whatever i'm doing and just listen, the songs remind me of the last 3 years of my life where i've been listening to the album and where i was in that part of my life. The songs mean a lot to me and i really don't think anything will be able to beat this album for a while to come.
Whit Pony was the first one i bought, i immediatly fell in love with it. perfect 10/10 album to me.
then i got Around the Fur and i didnt like it as much, then i bough S/T a year later, and liked it a lot, i think its a true Deftones sounding album. i think looking back at Adreneline its obvious that there sound has necome faf more defined.
white pony coz i always return

Seriously dude... did no one ever told you that you don't have to start every word with a capital?
Nah, SO WHAT???
ATF -- best album of all time :)
period.
ATF or S/T.... irritating question i often ask me-self
Really its quite impossible to determine which if the better/ or rather my favourite of the four albums... depends on my mood.
Thats the major appeal of Deftones for me.
Quote from: "injerto"Nah, SO WHAT???
Because it's easier to read the fucking text without all those capitals. Thank you for your time, goodnight.
Around The Fur
i remember borrowing it from my friend back in 9th grade. the only reason why i wanted to borrow it was because of Be Quiet And Drive. cause i was playing that Dave Mirra BMX game and i'd always choose that song. so i listened to the whole album and i loved it. until the cd shattered and i bought a new one. it's my favorite cause i attached a lot of memories to it and i just like it a bit better than everything else.
You know it's weird and tuff to choose, because I really love all the albums. I remember exactly where I was and what i was doing the very fisrt time I heard Be Quiet and Drive and also Change. Man the first time I heard Change I got goose bumps, it was awesome.
Even though I love other elements and other certian songs from other albums more, I would have to say that White Pony was the real turning point for me in getting really into the Deftones.
White Pony because it's different and more melodic than the other albums plus it has my fave 'Tones song Korea on it.
around the fur is the best album made in the entire time that music has been around even before christ.

the whole album got me playing guitar.
It just an amazing album from beggining to end.
i miss this guy
they've all got their place at the top for me....i love them all equally for different reasons.
i really dig adrenaline. i thout it a little high, pitch wise, for me in places. terriffic tunes with definite guitar parts. but my fav album would have to be fur. the riffs and use of dissonance is sic!! album will always be special to me cause i was in a grocery store looking at metal mags when a family came in looking also at metal mags. turned out to be chi's family! his younger sister was actually the one who turned me on to the fur album. i felt really stupid not knowing anything about the deftones music! do-oh. just thought i'd share.
bump.
Around the Fur is definitely my favorite album. It used to be Adrenaline, but the songs can get a little repetetive sometimes (i still love that album though).
My second favorite would be S/T. All the songs on that album just flow so perfectly together. Hexagram and Bloody Cape are two of the best Deftones songs.
On third place we find Adrenaline, yeah it moved from a first to a third. Like i said, a little repetetive, but still a kickass album.
White Pony on fourth place. It may be their most "talented" album, but definitely not their best.. imo.
It's funny cause Around the Fur used to be my least favorite.
Seriously i can't vote. Firstly because they are all different, secondly because i like all songs on all albums.

still a kickass "spacemetal" album ;)
white pony
Id say my favorite is Around The Fur..I cant really write down all the reasons why I like it, but I do think it is a cheesy album at all, and I like it cause it is mostly really raw music, doesnt sound all perfect like a few of the songs off White Pony and S/T.. Thats all I have to say right now
i like them all
Self Titled is the most amazing record ever made.
would have to be around the fur.
because i know all the lyric to every song on there
White Pony. Musically I like it the best overall, and lyrically it's the one I connect to the most for various reasons. I'll be so bold to say that White Pony will be looked back as a classic album of its time. Not to say the other albums weren't as good, I just think WP will be praised by the media as the deftones zenith.
There are other songs on the other albums that I really like musically and lyrically, but overall WP.
White Pony
Saturday Night Wrist
Around The Fur
Adrenaline
Deftones
Nice dig up over there....

i do have a good feeling about this one. more so than the rest. i think they've matured alot
SATURDAY NIGHT WISCONSIN.
w pony
for digital bath and knife party
and for memories... mostly bad but still...
1)Around The Fur (background music of happy summer days 1997-1999)
2)White Pony (music of very special era for me (2000-2003)
3)Saturday Night Wrist (complex album, very good sound)
5)Deftones (First don't like it all, grows in time)
4)Adrenaline (Purity)
5)Diamond Eyes (Miss Chi Cheng)
All their albums are great....which is rare in a band...but i have to go with White Pony.....It's the Deftones "Dark Side of the Moon"....in other words...it's their masterpiece IMO....and I just became a fan last year!...having their whole discog. dropped on my lap at once was almost overwhelming, but in a good way.
def a fan for life now that's for sure.
st 8)
everything, except DE era
Around the Fur. Be Quiet and Drive was the song that got me hooked on the Deftones in the first place, plus it's got Mascara (favorite on the album). White Pony then s/t are close 2nd's and 3rd's.
White pony
1.- is the album that make me into DEFTONES.
2.- when they were touring this album, it was the first time i saw them
3.-make them change their way, to their darkside..lol, which i really LOVE an MISS with DE
Adrenaline
i think it's got a great mix of heavy and soft lyrics
Engine No.9 is the best heavy track
I love One Weak, it's subtle but sporadically heavy
lyrically, i love this album and the fact that it was recorded when they were so young, as their first album, and still sounds good makes me like it even more
second place is Around the Fur, then Diamond Eyes
White Pony and SNW are actually my least faves, but in saying that I just mean i only dislike more than 2 or 3 songs from that album as opposed to others where i wouldn't skip a single track
White Pony is my favorite due to the hallmark turning point of the band in their sound.. the production of the album and the overall feeling I get from it as a whole.. And plus I have alot of emotional ties and memories attached to that album for me personally.
I never knew which album is my favorite one. Self-titled was the first which I listened as a whole album, it reminds me some good days, while White Pony got me shivering with all the excitement (after hearing "Change") - I knew that I had just found unique band. Really I never questioned myself which album is my favorite. Now I made an easy maths, wrote how many songs from every album I like. The result was this:
Adrenaline - 9/11 (don't like Root and Engine No. 9)
Around the fur - 11/11
White pony - 11/12 (Teenager)
Deftones - 10/11 (Moana)
Saturday night wrist - 7/12 (Mein, Rats!, Pink Cellphone, Rivière, Instrumental)
Diamond eyes - 9/11 (Beauty School, Sextape, Diamond Eyes)
Around the fur, haha ;) Never thought I like it so much ;)
it's a shame that only 5 people see S/T as the best.
It deserves so much more.
Tru Dat
i've rererererediscovered minerva again, love it
and i listened to diamond eyes (the track) for the first time in about a year, still not fond of it
1. White Pony - Their most fully realized, complete album. Every song blends beautifully into the next. It's an album that makes the listener feel like they are going on a journey into a very dark, strange world. It's a slick, stylized, "arty" album, but that's a plus to me.
2. ATF/S/T - I can't pick between the two. Both are classics though. So many amazing songs. I was really fucking obsessed with S/T for a long period of my life, so it will always have a special place in my heart. It's a "dirty" album, if you will. It's kind of like WP's little pissed off brother or something.. As for ATF, that's their most mighty and metallic album. It hits you like a ton of bricks with its raw power, but there's still those weird, beautiful, experimental moments in there. For instance, how strange is the breakdown/bridge in ATF? Its so out of nowhere, yet so brilliant.
3. Adrenaline - A fun album with some killer tracks. I feel like they were still finding their grounding though, and didn't quite reach the full potential on later albums. Some of the songs have similar structures, as well as Chino's vocal melodies. Still, it's a blast.
4. Diamond Eyes - Yeah, SNW is more experimental, which is usually something I'd prefer over something more straightforward and "commercial", but I just feel like DE is tighter and more focused. The production is better. There's some missteps here and there, but the good songs are really fucking good. It's actually pretty damn amazing how quickly they made it in relation to its overall quality.
5. Saturday Night Wrist - I placed SNW last because I view it as an interesting failure. There are a lot of great ideas and moments but it just never really gels together for me as a cohesive album. I think it's because I know it had the potential to be one of their best records. The Ezrin demos hint at what it really could have been. The early live versions of Beware and Rapture make the versions on the album just pale in comparison. Great individual moments, but just a little too all over the place for me. Also, the production could have been a lot better.
1) Around the Fur - my favorite album, also contains my favorite Deftones song Be Quiet Drive. I think its a album that clearly defines the band, Its aggressive, great riffs etc...
picks: Be quiet and drive, Head Up, Mx, My Own Summer, Lotion, Rickets.
2) White Pony - Comes in second very close to ATF. Like most of the songs on it, and a bit of experimentation ones like digital bath. Its also a melodic album.
picks: Change, Elite, Digital Bath, Pink Maggit/Back to School, Knife Party
3) Diamond Eyes - A great comeback and a solid album. I place it above Adrenaline because... i simply like it more.
picks: Diamond Eyes, Rocket Skates, Prince, CMND/CTRL, Royal
4) Adrenaline - I just dont like how the guitar sounds, there are some classic tracks there sure, live they are amazing.
picks: Bored, 7 Words, Engine number.9, root, Birthmark
5) Saturday Night Wrist - I do like some songs in this album, but most of them sound too much like something another band would play. Also contains Pink Cell phone ugh.
picks: Mein, Beware, Xerces
6) Self titled - My least favorite one. I think this was a really weak album compared to the other ones.
picks: Hexagram, Battle Axe.
Self titled is my favorite and it's not particularly close. I think this album transformed me musically, although I didn't realize it at the time. Before this album, I was just one of those duders who only listened to metal. After I listened to it (a fucking LOT), I gradually started listening to much more atmospheric music, both metal and nonmetal.
After S/T it goes something like 2) White Pony, 3) Around the Fur, and 4) who the fuck cares
adrenaline and self titled. the artwork sold me on the self titled.
Adrenaline, for its rawness and mix of emotion. I love all the riffs and love the vocals, just the way the songs were sung and the fact that it was their debut. although a few songs on Diamond Eyes were what hooked me in, 7 Words pulled me into Adrenaline and I'm grateful for it. It took me awhile to breathe some patience into Fireal, and I'm thankful for that too. In the end it's really the only album I can say I wouldn't necessarily skip any track. with the slowest ones at the end, I can't complain.
runner-up would be Diamond Eyes, for said reason above and just the general feel of it. funny cuz it's their LATEST album as opposed to their FIRST^ but with Prince and Rocket Skates substantially reeling me into Deftones, I gotta give props.
I love all of their albums.
I've never known a band to put out such consistently good music.
It's really difficult to choose a favourite.
1st - I'd put S/T and Around The Fur as a tie for 1st place.
S/T is so dark I think the song structures are just so weird and inventive.Hexagram and WGTB are totally brutal - I love it!! You've got to admire a band that will release a song like Hexagram as a single.It also contains my favourite song: Bloody Cape. S/T just has this feeling that can't really be described. It's not a flawless album but therein lies it's beauty and as a result it's perfect! if that makes any sense. It just has so much emotion, it takes you on this twisted roller coaster ride. S/T also has what I consider to be their best, weirdest and most imaginative lyrics.
Around the Fur has so much energy and Chino's screams are brilliant. It also has the song that first got me into the Tones - My Own Summer. What an album!
3rd - Third place would probably go to Diamond Eyes.
It also has a dark quality to it but it doesn't quite match S/T in darkness and despair. The songs are shorter and to the point and I can listen to it over and over. Franks parts really enhance this album.
Beauty School ruins the momentum of the album for me and is a song I wish had been left off. After that the album doesn't quite get back the feeling the first few songs on the album achieved.
I would have liked a bit more screaming too.
4th - Saturday NIght Wrist comes in in 4th place. The album also has a great feel to it. It has a nice variety of songs but again I wish there was more screaming.
I quite like that Chino's voice sounds a bit different in this album - the screams are not as good but they are quite weird and different and it's although I prefer his screaming in other albums, it's a nice change here.
5th - Fifth place goes to White Pony. When I first started listening to Deftones this was my favourite. I thought the songs were stronger. Although I don't feel that way anymore they are, together with Diamond Eyes, the most accessible collection of songs Deftones have recorded. I find that I got bored with White Pony after a while which didn't happen with the other albums. The more I listened to Deftones however, the more I appreciated their unique style, which I think is stronger in other albums.I still consider it a great album, I just think the others are better. I can see, however why this is many fans favourite album. It seems to be the album most people like the most before they've given the other albums a chance to really sink in and affect them. Deftones music can be difficult to grasp at first, but once it hits you there's nothing like it!
6th - Last place goes to Adrenaline. The songs are too similar to each other, not enough variety. It's the only album that I can hear the Nu-Metal comparisons in. I think since this album the bands playing, song writing and everything about them has really just got stronger. It's a great debut album but to me the band are still growing and discovering their sound. The albums that follow are much richer and varied
woha White Pony in 5th?
btw: bamp
My list is always changing.
1. Self Titled
2. Saturday Night Wrist
3. Around The Fur
4. White Pony

Yeh, right now I'm digging S/T, the album has really grown on me in the past few years, and the lyrics are fresh..but best album goes to White Pony or Around the Fur...that's just right now , could change tomorrow.

This. Same order, swapping Adrenaline and DE
My order:
1. Around the Fur
2. Deftones
3. White Pony
4. Diamond Eyes
5. Saturday Night Wrist
6. Adrenaline
...wow that was difficult. ATF was the first Deftones record I listened to and got me into them, BQAD and Mascara make this album for me. S/T was, in my opinion, their most diverse album (heavy: WGTB, Hexagram; soft: Anniversary, Good Morning Beautiful; the guitar in Deathblow is the shit; Lucky You is its own class of song). White Pony is the best overall album for me but somehow doesn't surpass ATF and S/T. Anyway, I'm done thats my list and why.
Im hoping Eros will live up to my expectations and be my new number one, but since it aint coming any time soon :):
1. Self Titled
Literally one of the best albums ever recorded. Violent and hard, yet surreal and tender. Hard feeling to describe which rushes over you when you listen to each song. Its scary ("When Girls Telephone Boys", "Bloody Cape"), mysterious ("Lucky You"), motivational ("Hexagram", "Minerva", "Battle Axe"), and original all at once. Some of the riffs in this album make my brain combust from how strange yet beautiful they sound. Plus it has the sickest cover of all the albums. :D
2. White Pony
So many memories with this album. Some of the songs are just straight up classic ("Back To School", "Feiticeira", "Pink Maggit", "Digital Bath", "Teenager"). Also, it sounds almost a bit like they were attempting a bit of post hardcore influence, one of my favorite genres, on this album which makes it even better.
3. Around the Fur
The second most brutal Deftones album next to S/T. All the songs seem so genuinely angry ("Mascara", even though its soft ;)). Just that tired kind of anger, like you can tell the people who wrote it just couldnt take any more crap from someone or a group of people, or shit was gonna get real ("Damone", "Headup"). Also has some awesome riffs.
4. Saturday Night Wrist
We all know the demos were way better than the actual album (cough, "Finger of Death", cough) but still, "Hole in the Earth", "Rapture", "Riviere", "Cherry Waves" and "Combat" are all pretty sick. What I didnt like about this album is the fact that it seemed to lack the inherent darkness found in all the previous album. It sounded poppy and disjointed, some of the songs were extremely clumsy in transition from chorus to bridge ("Rats! Rats! Rats!")
other songs were just plain stupid in lyrical content and vocal style but could have had potential ("Pink Cellphone", and mostly the whole album on the vocal style side)
Adrenaline is a tie for fourth place with SNW, though it does contain some pretty classic tracks like "Fireal", "Lifter", "Nosebleed", "Teething", "One Weak", "Bored", and Minus Blindfold" which bump it up a bit, but where it lacks is Chino's vocal style sounds slightly more pretentious (which i cant really blame for, since they were just starting out kinda) and it lacks any kind of experimentation we expect from Deftones.
5. Diamond Eyes
The worst album in Deftones discography. Every song sounds like Deftones are outgrowing anger (or any other kind of feeling besides slight conflict and overall happiness, Im looking at you Chino), and replacing it with more light hearted vocals and riffs which sound hard but too uptempo and overproduced, overall making the album another poppy and emotionally numb edition like SNW, but much worse. The only good points here is "CMND/"CTRL" (which has stupid lyrics and not hard/dark enough sounding production), "Prince" (which Chino ruins slightly with his new style of vocals again), and "This Place is Death" (which has some really cool riffs, BUT NEEDS TO SOUND DARKER AND LESS PRODUCED DAMMIT). As an album, it is better than most everything out today, (except maybe Tyler the Creator, Soundgarden, or Glassjaw :D) but its not a Deftones album to me. THIS IS MADNESS, good man. I expect the next album to be awesome darkness and despair.
So in closing, i like s/t the best, breh
Around the Fur and Self Titled for the winner!
1. Around The Fur
2. Saturday Night Wrist
3. White Pony
4. Deftones
5. Adrenaline
6. B Sides
7. Diamond Eyes
So many Diamond Eyes hate detected
Cuz it sucks
well for some time ive been listening alot to SF... and ive got to say it grown a bit on me, (although i always liked battle axe, hexagram and minerva) so right now its like this
1- ATF
2- White Pony
3- Diamond Eyes
4- SNW
5- ST
6- Adrenaline
I swap it with Adrenaline because i'm a bit tired of it and I really never liked how the guitars sounded. (adrenaline that is)
It's strange how DE is one of their most successful (today's standards and methods of rating) but here where the most devoted fans turn to it's one of the least favorites. :-\ They definitely (wow, finally spelled it right, lol) need to change it up for the next record. Attitude and all ::)

Commercial success don't mean cult success :/ White pony was a bit of a fluke I suppose. Diamond eye's is by far their most radio friendly and easily accessible album. Hence all the new fans
To me, every album before SNW, is fucking genius. Basically, if i had to sum up my opinion on all their albums.
Around the Fur
For me, it edges out all their other albums simply because of one lyric:
"It's too bad you're married to me."
1.Adrenaline
2.White Pony
3.Diamond Eyes
4.Saturday Night Wrist
5..Around the Fur
6. S/T
1. Around the Fur
1. White Pony
1. Adrenaline
1. S/T
5. Diamond Eyes
6. SNW
there is no way i can chose between the first 4 albums. different times, different feelings.

It's a different world now the way things work. Period. And yes it does have a lot to do with a new generation of fans...
;) im new here so just want to say wat up to deftones real fanz and its all about around the fur baby
its a toss between around the fur and white pony for me
daimon eyes just coz its so cool n chill <3
me n my hubby luv makin sweet luv 2 sextape n this place is deth there so beatiful :)
probably adrenalin, with around the fur in close second. there's just so much energy that a love. i love the angst and all that, and that heavy nu metal vibe. the flow is perfect, even if i'm not so keen on two tracks from it. they still compement the record well. it's why i don't skip them, and just bear with them. if i do skip them, it just doesn't flow as well.
Saturday Night Wrist. It just freaking owns.
