You can kind of hear the direction they would go on White Pony. This is not pure nu metal, you hear different music genres in this album compared to Adrenaline. This album does not have any filler on it, minus the 20 minutes of silence at the end. Compared to Adrenaline, Deftones have taken 2 steps forward, harnessed their sound and made a heavier album compared to Adrenaline. This doesn't prevent me from giving this album a 5. The bong hit in the middle of the song is not enough to justify listening to more than 20 minutes of silence to hear Damone after MX. The only real turn-off with this album is the unnecessary 37:18 minute long track for MX to go into Damone. "Headup" is my go-to song for speeding on the highway and for workout music. Every song off of this album creates an overall soundscape that is reminiscent of the premonition of falling in love with someone (Koi No Yokan is Japanese for the premonition of falling in love).Īround The Fur imo is their best album for me to listen to when I am really pissed off. It is their sound drenched in post-rock/post-metal influences, which brings a unique swing to their sound. I know I am going to get shit for having KNY so low, but out of the six perfect Deftones albums (IMO), Koi No Yokan is the weakest album. The weakest singles in the band's discography are present on this album, but it is Deftones and they didn't fuck up.Ĭ'mon, give me a break. The pink hues on this album turn to sludge on the self-titled track and throughout the album at times. However, it is also arguably their heaviest album at times, there are really heavy and dark moments on this album. It isn't their best songs and it was a let-down. I am quite lenient with it due to the replay value. I still fucking love this album even though it has the worst audio production out of all of the Deftones albums in their discography. This is also the band's only pure nu metal album (still better than 98% of other Nu Metal albums). The audio production on this album is also the worst in the band's discography until Gore (seriously, what the fuck.). It is really the sound of the band coming together after a few years of jamming and coming up with solid material to put together a debut album. (Note: the top six albums in this list were at times my favorite Deftones albums at one point in my young adult life.)īefore Gore came out, Adrenaline was regarded as arguably the worst Deftones album. This is just the studio albums, no b-sides, covers, splits, or demos will be listed on this list. Deftones are my favorite band and I hope I don't get too much shit for my ratings.
Some fans are divisive about certain Deftones albums, while others listen to the albums religiously. I know there are a lot of worst to best lists out there for Deftones.
