I accidentally voted for ST when I was going to vote WP. These are my two favorites and I actually have a hard time deciding for myself which I like better, if WP didn't have pink maggit it would be ST for sure. I figure WP will win this so I really wanted to vote against it, that sucks you can't revote.

Street Carp < Deathblow
Teenager < When Girls Telephone Boys
Knife Party > Battle Axe
Korea > Lucky You
Passenger < Bloody Cape
Change > Anniversary
Pink Maggit > Moana

S/T edges out in this manner but screw it I'm voting WP, that album has had just slightly more of an impact on me

[illthrowROCKS@U]

What can I say? ST is the best they've ever been.

[Martin]

ATF is my favorite record, coming ever closer is the S/T.

So let's try what this guy suggested

giving each individual song a score out of 10 and adding them all up, averaging them out by how many songs there are on the album.

Feiticeira - 7, Hexagram - 9
Digital Bath - 5, Needles and Pins - 8
Elite - 5, Minerva - 5
Rx Queen - 9, Good Morning Beautiful - 7
Street Carp - 8, Deathblow - 8
Teenager - 7, WGTB - 9
Knife Prty - 6, Battle-Axe - 8
Korea - 9, Lucky You - 6
Passenger - 5, Bloody Cape - 10
Change - 6, Anniversary - 7
Pink Maggit - 6, Moana - 10
73:88 S/T wins
average: 6.63 / 8

Yep, other than Elite and Street Carp, WP is pretty much a perfect album. S/T, other than a couple of amazing songs is fairly weak.

[astynk]

Way too many tens... That's none of my business, I know, but anyway...
For me 10/10 is a song that defines what the Deftones sound is, so there can't be many 10/10 tracks

[Hinojos]

I don't know how I can go through with rating these songs out of 10 especially since my opinion varies all the time as well as some songs having a dependency on my mood, but I'll try haha. I feel like this out-of-ten system is way more accurate than just comparing the numbered tracks side-by-side. If I'm stuck in between two then I'll just make it more specific with a half point.

Feiticeira - 7.5 | Hexagram - 9
Digital Bath - 10 | Needles and Pins - 8
Elite - 8 | Minerva - 9.5
RX Queen - 8.5 | Good Morning Beautiful - 8
Street Carp - 8 | Deathblow - 9
Teenager - 7 | WGTB - 8.5
Knife Party - 10 | Battle-Axe - 9
Korea - 8.5 | Lucky You - 7
Passenger - 9.5 | Bloody Cape - 9.5
Change - 10 | Anniversary - 9
Pink Maggit - 10 | Moana - 6

- out of 110 -
97 | 92.5

Just for giggles:
Back To School - 6.5 (103.5) | Lovers - 10 (102.5)

Hard, but I voted for self-titled to be eliminated. The two albums are among my favorites from them, but I think that even if self-titled would have won in terms of numbers, that I still would have given the win to White Pony. It just has more of a "complete album feel" in my opinion, in terms of listening to it from front to back. Everything flows smoothly, including with my least favorite song (although I still like it), "Teenager." On self-titled, the transition of "Lucky You" seems a little out of place in between the two powerhouse songs present, although I'm sure some would argue otherwise; such as saying that it calms your nerves a little just so that you'll be ready to explode back up again with "Bloody Cape" - which is completely understandable. The thing is, I feel like "Anniversary.." is the perfect type of song to do that with. Although I actually enjoy "Lucky You," I think it can feel awkward at times and I feel like it rattles the flow of the album. And although "Moana" isn't a bad song, I feel like it's lower-tier on Deftones' standards. In comparison to "Pink Maggit" as a closer, well...in my opinion there is no comparison.

Around the Fur was eliminated in round 6.

I can't believe ATF didn't make it this far! Have to go with White Pony.

[E-Money]

White Pony is their best record. Their sound back then was so futuristic. That record is way ahead of its time. S/T is pretty lazy at times. Even the band says this.

Precisely this. Except change pretty lazy to "super lazy."

[Inkblades]

I voted for White Pony just to be an asshole. 

[pelican fly]

WP was awesome and contains some of their best songs but......
S/T is just something else. That record is just as classic as WP.
This should end in a tie.

[DEFinatelydeftones,fsho]

Just what Pfly said. A tie but wtvs. Looks like the White Pony beats out the Dark Horse by a long nose.

[DEFinatelydeftones,fsho]

And I forgot.... DE, I barely recognize it in the race. Don't think I've listened to it since 2011. Love love love TPID though. It's gorgeous. I wish they could have mixed the guitar riff in the background a little louder.
