Favorite Deftones album?

[from_musings]

1 adrenaline. flawless.love the riffs and the way chino sings here.probably my favourite record of all time

2 self titled. absolutley incredible 2nd half with dark doomy epic material. 3-4 first songs are not that great though but still breathtaking record.

3 around the fur.kinda mediocre songs compared to adrenaline and st but still classic deftones sound.

4 white pony. couple of good tunes no doubt.however - a little girly at times and a little too radio friendly)

5 diamond eyes. some killer tracks like royal,prince,risk. but a lot of songs are either bad or too poppy,sometimes both

6 saturday night wrist - pile of goat shit

Around the Fur.
I can totally feel every aspect of this album. It's a roller coaster of emotions and scenario's . It's an incredible narcissistic decent into a new era where  disillusioned youth gets perverted into a dark, bitter, stubborn place, where innocence is over and visceral passion takes over. Or at least that's my interpretation of it.  Every album after is a result of that change in attitude and psyche.
Everything down to the artwork reinforces my outlook on the record.

Everyone will call me idiot after this but i think the self titled album is a little bit overrated. it's a great album but i don't consider it as their best album. One thing that the self titled has is my favorite Deftones song ever and that is Lucky You.

Nothing wrong with SNW, except maybe a few songs still don't sit well with me, but I love it. Nonetheless, Deftones have yet to make a bad album.

[rhapsodos]

SNW holds a special place for me. Some songs off that album really struck me and made me start to like Deftones.

Beautifully stated.

Am I the only one that thinks that White Pony is overrated? I mean, it has a great bunch of songs on it and is probably way better than anything else of the same mold that came out at that time, but songs like Back to School make me cringe (that song simply does not belong in the 'tones' discography) and overall, it just doesn't have the same melancholic flow that the other albums have, so..


1. Deftones (Also one of my favorite records of all time. The first time I heard it, I couldn't make any sense of what seemed like an almost atonal vocal delivery, cacophonous instrumentation and overall bleak atmosphere but as I immersed myself in it a little more, it turned into a beautifully tangled, raw, emotional piece of art. In my mind, the s/t is a masterpiece.)

2. Around the Fur (The logical sonic predecessor to the s/t. I absolutely love the gloomy overtones and the abstract lyrics of songs like MOS and BQAD and vocally, this album showcases Chino at his best with his captivating melodies and anti-melodies.

3. Adrenaline (For some reason, this album sounds a little detached from the rest of their discography. I'm not a huge fan of the rapping segments but the punky energy makes up for all that and....DOSE RIFFS!)

4. Diamond Eyes (The song structures are simplified in terms of both length and progressivity. Overall, this has to be their most focused effort and the eight string chugging intertwined with Chino's soaring vocals is a great combo but it lacks depth and the free-form emotional rawness that makes Deftones tick.

5. Saturday Night Wrist (In contrast to DE, this has to be their most unfocused effort but it's got a great variety of fast and slow tunes. This is the sort of album they were going for on White Pony.)

6. White Pony ( The music was over-simplified on this one except for a few songs like Feticiera and overall, not a good follow-up to the much superior ATF. The songs just sound too dry and sterile when compared to what they're capable of. )

Saturday Night Wrist for the win.  Easily.
