ghOsty Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 This album is pretty amazing. Deftones have definitely had something awakened in them the past couple albums. Been playing the shit out of this in my car lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Holy shit at all this praise! I never paid Deftones much mind as I lumped them into '90's alternative which produced very little music that interested me... Where should one start with these fellows?

benc812 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 hard to say, since i've been listening to them contemporaneously from the start. i suppose that 'white pony' might be the best place to start. the albums before that ('adrenaline' and 'around the fur') still seem to be born in situ with the whole nu-metal feel musically, without a lot of gross rapping and such. good albums nonetheless, but from white pony on, they really seemed to exercise more of their individuality and separate themselves somewhat from that 90's alternative trappings you mention. personally, i would check out 'white pony' and then venture onto the latest two LPs, see how you feel, and then perhaps see how those albums come about in context of their earliest work. diamond eyes and koi no yokan have easily been some of my favorite cds of the past few years, irrespective of anything they had done before 2010.

modey Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Just got this; it's fucking awesome. I never really gave Deftones a chance—I probably listened to White Pony once and then got sidetracked. Definitely gonna check out their other stuff now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 good to hear! maybe work backwards from koi no yokan. imo, around the fur is their best, followed closely by white pony but the last 2 have been killer as well (koi no yokan & diamond eyes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
