ok, i know i'm about a year late on this, but i just bought their self titled album. what the hell happened to this band? i almost didn't buy it simply because the cover is awful, and i had heard no songs on it.
so i put it in and i'm blown away by how good the first track, hexagram is. and then, much like their career, the whole thing goes downhill. sad.

i love this album. as well as every other album deftones have ever released. personally, i think they're one of the few bands going under the "new-metal" label that actually deserve praise. lots of praise.

any band who have goatees, wear shorts, have copious tatoos or go on stage shirtless or not worth listening to. full fucking stop. end of discussion.

Oh, but I was talking to Drunken Mastah. I just don't really file them under "nu-metal".

upon further listens, this album actually isn't that bad. still, they've definitely gotten worse. and please, the "nu metal" comments are so predictable. come up with a better reason to hate the music.

some bits of Around the Fur were good, like that track where every line seems to end in "too much"
"sleep too much... etc"
can't remember why it was good tho :)

I don't really like their earlier stuff but White Pony and this one are quite solid. I especially love White Pony. Man, I was addicted to that record when it first came out.

adrenaline, around the fur, white pony. white pony is the lesser of the three for me, but it does have feiticeira which is probably my favorite deftones song.

deftones are supreme. they are NOT nu-metal! all of the those shitty bands would be nothing without Deftones/Tool/NiN/Pearl Jam/Radiohead... others.... to guide them.....
they deserve some respect.
and the new album is not all that bad. but the worst of all 4 prolly.

it was like white pony only without enthousiasm i thought with white pony they were onto something good and original but it was still a raw sketch which i hoped they would explore furter, but they did not
the first two albums, especially the first are simple but so good and pure energy
to come up with some lame qualifications

whats everyones thoughts on saturday night wrist?
i love some of their older work, especially around the fur, but this.. i dont know. 'Beware' is an ok track, but the whole thing sounds so.. so angsty (there, i said it) and emo. Take track 2 for example. WTF MAN?
