yeah yeah, wp and atf will get the most votes while it is in fact adrenaline and st that are the best. the poll isnt really that exciting
maybe I should have created a poll for the worst or least favorite rather. Although I think I know what the polls will say on that one.

Oh, and of course White Pony gets my vote.
Around The Fur.
Its hard to make up my mind cuz i love all their albums but i chose White Pony. Just because every song on the album is superb which is something the have yet to accomplish again imo. Diamond Eyes is great put sometimes if it wasnt for Frank the songs would sound very one dimensional.
ooo noooo! no one is voting for SNW ! :-[
as you can see everyone is obviously voting for their least favorite.
WP SUCKS!
Just kidding
ATF.
I would have voted WP or DE but I always go back to ATF.
WP
now nobody loves SNW? LAWL!,
yeah nukka WP FTW!! it got it all at mixing heaviness and romanticism, what else could you ask for?
Self-Titled is their best album and always will be.
Adrenaline :D
See this is hard cos my fave changes weekly.... ;D Yes even SNW has it's moments in my top spot. Prob have to go with WP over all though.
White Pony, definitely. One of the few albums I have no tracks to skip on. Diamond Eyes too, but that's still quite fresh, so I wont go with that so soon.
Diamond Eyes.
It's the only Deftones album where I absolutely love ALL of the songs and I don't find anyone of them weak.
yeah man you make a good point about DE. problem with me is that I kind of felt the same way with WP.
for now it's a toss-up, but I wouldn't call DE a classic yet. it still needs some time us to see if we still keep coming back to it.
i voted DE but i think its only because its new an fresh...But i would also hafta say that they are all diff in there own way which in turn makes them all my fav...But it wouldnt let me vote for all...
I might hav voted Snw since I like that album a lot, but things such as having mein and pink cellphone on the record stopped me. Excluding those two and adding buffalo and that other demo as a finished version (I think it was number 14, the really slow one where it seems like frank is hitting glasses) chances would have gotten higher. you can't hate a record which has Kim Dracula on it.
The same could be said with Adrenaline adding venison and God's hands, though.
Ohh yeah, and ATF got my vote as ussual.
It's close but SNW edges out S/T. Adrenaline is the worst.
Saturday Night Wrist
holy shit people actually vote for SNW?
I'm surprised Adrenaline was voted only 3 times.
I voted for ST, I would love to vote for WP but I HATE passenger. I also HATE Tool, that may shed some light on my passenger hatred.
I find it funny how a lot of people whine about this board being so biased about ST and how ST is so revered here and yet it only has 3 votes out of 50 and is tied currently with SNW...
if this was done right after SNW was released I would probably have voted for SNW. I fucking loved that album at first. not as much now, but I still think it's a very solid album.
at the moment DE is my favorite for obvious reasons - it's still new and fresh, and it's a damn good album. but I still voted WP because as for many others nothing they will do will ever top that. I barely listen to it these days to be honest, but it's what got me into Deftones and at one point in my life I listened fanatically to it and it's affected me so much. it changed my entire style of playing drums for one, and it opened a lot of doors musically. few albums have had such impact on me.

Something similar for me. I was asked this question a few days ago, and I spent some time explaining that S/T and Adrenaline rank higher than ATF and White Pony not because of how great the songs are, but because of the effect the album had on me. I rarely listen to S/T, I try not to, and I listen to ATF the most, but S/T still ranks higher because that album had such a massive impact on my life at the time. It doesn't mean that I like S/T more than ATF, it's just that there are a lot more things that have to be factored in when it comes to judging albums against each other than whether I like 1 song more than another.
lmao andrenaline...im glad im part of the few.
Around the Fur
Just creative as all hell and it holds a lot of good memories for me. Self titled is a close second just because it has my favorite guitar and vocal sounds. Terry nailed it on that one. White Pony has become a bit boring for me but it's still an incredible album. i've also gotten a bit bored of adrenaline and compared to everything after it just seems a bit juvenile. i guess a lot of people like it for that raw energy they had when they were that young but for me the songwriting just got better and better from there. Diamond Eyes is a masterpiece and it really put a new light on Saturday Night Wrist for me. i love them all but i'd have to rank them like this.

I have played out adrenaline so thats why its so low. I just cant play ATF enough. i never get tired of that album.

My fave has always been ATF just because it was the first time I had ever heard deftones. I was out buying CDs and thought the chick on the front was hot so I bought it. I also picked up Tool's Aenema cause the cover was wicked looking(this was around 1997 when I was 12). Talk about stumbling onto great music by chance.
Having said that self titled has become my favorite in the last few months. When it came out I didn't give it a chance, only because it was so different from White Pony I guess.
Self Titled
ATF
DE/White Pony
Adrenaline
Saturday Night Wrist(I absolutely hate this album. Overall just not good music)
To be honest I could put all the albums at number one with the exception being SNW. I wish they could go back in time and never make that one.

Saturday night wrist
Ha, I'm surprised that ppl voted for SNW. Most ppl on here say they hate it or dislike it except for a few songs, so I truly never thought ppl would vote it as their favorite.
SNW Is beating Diamond Eyes already? Usually it takes awhile before people bash on the new album and love the previous one. Like S/T and SNW.
Around THE FUR!
I'm going to have to say Around the Fur. It's a classic for me because that was the first Deftones record I bought. I was heavily into "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" at the time, so I just went on a limb and bought it -- one of the best CD decisions I ever made. I fell in love with Chino's voice after that and Deftones became my favorite band (They still are). White Pony is great and a close second, but it wasn't the first Deftones album I bought.
I enjoy Adrenaline a lot, but it's the Deftones record I really don't listen to very often. I might pop it in my stereo once a year, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I think out of all of their albums, that one is probably the hardest to get into. Deftones have made solid, good albums but my least favorite is the S/T. I think it could have been put together better, and it's another album I really don't listen to all that much. I actually like Saturday Night Wrist a lot and I'm surprised many people don't. I thought it was put together very well and I was giddy with joy to find out Annie Hardy made an appearance on the record.
It's too soon for me to say anything about Diamond Eyes. It's fresh and new and that's the problem--it's fresh and new. Of course you're going to like it when it first comes out but until a year has passed, I really can't say much about the album.
Suddenly really liked WP these last few days.
White Pony > Around The Fur > Diamond Eyes & Adrenalne & Deftones > Saturday Night Wrist
Right now I would put it like that, with DE, Adrenaline and Self Titled all tied for third place. Diamond Eyes is working it's way up the list, though.
I fuck with that B-sides collection a lot, but cant count that as an album.
I can see why some people like SNW it has a few good songs. i just listend to it all the way through for the first time in a long time not bad but, no where near their best.
So difficult to chose!
I think that all the albums are brilliant and have something special about them.
The only one I don't really like much is Adrenaline - I've only ever listened to it a few times.
You can really hea it's their debut, the songwriting just got better from there.
At the moment I'd go with ATF as my favourite - I never get tired of this album - I think it's absoloutely perfect.
A very close 2nd would be the self titled album.I think that it's so undderated.Sure maybe White Pony has more great songs but I just love the feel and atmosphere of ST.It's such a brutal,dark,powerful album - how some people can say it's dull is a mystery to me.
3rd place goes to Diamond Eyes.Nearly perfect but I think that the 2nd half is not as strong as the first and things get a little slow for me.There should have been a song before 976 to lift the pace a bit.I also feel that the interesting twists and turns as in other albums are missing.
4th place is a tie between WP and SNW.
I also think that SNW is underrated - it's also got such a great feel.You can really hear what the band was going through at the time.To me it's also very underrated.
White Pony is a brilliant album and if you look at it song for song it's probably the strongest but I think that the feel of the album is very important which is why I place the others higher.
Adrenaline is a great skater record. Bad Brains crossed with some Quicksand and you got a quick and snappy sort of album!

Agreed and i choose Adrenaline too.
For what it's worth:
1. White Pony (was amazed with the progression from ATF, while still keeping their trademark sound + lyrics and mood really matched where I was at at that time)
2. Around the Fur (The first Deftones I OWNED, and really loved)
3. Diamond Eyes (so stoked they found their form again - was starting to wonder if it would ever happen)
3. Adrenaline (first deftones I heard)
4. (like) linus (can we count this?)
5. S/T (was somewhat disappointed at first due to lack of afforementioned progression - but have come to really love it)
6. SNW (really dig this album - but it cant compare to the others coz it just seems to be lacking something. Although am starting to appreciate it even more since Diamond Eyes)
man idk why ppl think WP is SOOOO great..
its ridiculus i mean half the fans around only heard about the 'Tones cuz of change..
whatev..

Quote from: dictatesofreason on May 24, 2010, 02:10 AM
man idk why ppl think WP is SOOOO great..
in my honest opinion, it's because when it came out, summer of 2000, it was at least 20 years ahead of its time. If you listen to that album in context, and by that I mean put yourself in your own shoes in that year and consider all the other music in the "genre" around at the time, it will blow your fucking mind. What the band did with THAT album was un-fucking-believable, I can't even describe how groundbreaking it is.
I remember borrowing the album off my friend that summer, listening to the opening few tracks and my initial thought was that it didn't sound like anything that belonged on our planet at the time. 10 years later and I still think it's futuristic.
I don't think the other albums are bad. If it weren't for White Pony, the band wouldn't get half the criticism they have done in the three follow up albums. But like I said, WP is just so groundbreaking, I don't think anything the band will ever do can live up to it.
I am sorry if that sounded a bit muddled!
Oh and my order:
1. WP
2. ATF
3. S/T
4. Adrenaline
5. Diamond Eyes
6. SNW
BUT, Diamond Eyes will probably move up that list in the next few years, it just needs time to mature, like a good cheese or a fine wine.

It seems in the polls White Pony, Around the Fur, and self titled are all getting the most respect.
My opinion:
1. Around the Fur - Love everything about it and it was the album that got me into the group. Has slower moments like Mascara (favorite song) and Dai the Flu to more intense songs like Lotion, Rickets, and Head Up. Mx and BQAD get stuck in my head for days at a time and lhabia plus My Own Summer open the record nicely, this one wins for me.
2. Deftones - I went back and forth between this album and White Pony but self-titled barely edges it out. Its darker, heavier yet still having its softer moments, and the song structures on this are more unique than other Deftones records (in my opinion anyway. Deathblow and Battleaxe especially, I guess Lucky You is in its own category too). Bloody Cape is amazing, plus WGTB, Minerva, and Hexagram this just edges White Pony.
3. White Pony - I can listen to every single song through and not bitch about anything. Feiticera kicks ass (who knows if I spelled that right), Digital Bath, all the way through til Pink Maggit and Boys Republic. Street Carp is catchy as all hell. This record shifted their sound and I was all about it. Oh, and this is my favorite album to get down with a chick to.
4. Saturday Night Wrist - I use to not like this record much in terms of the group's other recordings, but I can't deny that it has grown on me. My only two speed bumps in this album are Cherry Waves (hate the chorus) and Beware (something about it just doesn't seem right to me, don' know what it is) but that being said the record kicks ass as a whole. From konami code on, this record is great.
5. Diamond Eyes - This album, I have mixed feelings on it. I love the songs on it, have no complaints about the production, like the lyrics, but I just find myself playing it less than the other records by them. B-sides and Rarities gets more attention from me but this album isn't shit in the least. Maybe it needs more time to grow on me, who knows.
6. Adrenaline - In all seriousness, probable ties Diamond Eyes in the rankings. I listen to this record more than Diamond Eyes but usually not the whole way through most times. Love Minus Blindfold, Fireal, and Birthmark and the rap delivery in the lyrics is even cool with me,Engine No. 9 is good shit. I will say this album changes the most in terms of my favorites depending on what mood I'm in.
where's eros..i wanna vote dat
Right now, Deftones, SNW, WP, Around the Fur, Adrenaline, and Diamond Eyes. Only Deftones never changes as #1 for me. I genuinely love all equally tho like they r my children. ;D

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.

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.
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.

Well when you take a quick look at the votes in this thread, SNW does better than Adrenaline (which has to be an heresey for many) and DE, which I honestly dont understand. :P
When I think about it its a shame Adrenaline's production sucks so much. I mean, its a coherent album with a lot of good songs on it but that sound just ruins it for me. I'm sure some people find it charming and all, but I discovered the album in 2003 straight after I gave a listen to the S/T and...well, you know what I mean. Thats one of the reasons why I listen way more often to ATF than Adenaline -apart from the fact that songs on ATF are just simply better to me.

Well its better than Like Linus production. It sounds like it was recorded with 1 microphone. But DE was the first Deftones record I listened to because my last favorite band covered Change and I loved it. So I downloaded the discography loved DE, then listened to SNW, got a boner, then ATF, WP, S/T, Adrenaline, and finally B-Sides and Rarities (Not all at once). Then I bought all of cd's, and I still have a boner.
Ah ah your listening order is even weirder than mine (WP, S/T, Adrenaline, ATF, and then release order).
But at least you got the ATF, WP, S/T progression right. It seems that the 97-2003 was their creative golden age.
But to me DE was really good, and I really appreciate it because of its background. I think Its a good album in itself, but watching the tones kicking it again with enthusiasm and passion -which I think you can really feel throughout the record, with that positive vibe going- after their worst possible era, makes the album even more important and enjoyable. When it was released I was really thinking "Hell yeah, theyre back". Plus its the start of something else -with Sergio coming in, etc- really exciting. Hopefully KNY won't disapoint.
I still think they are in their golden age. I feel like KNY will be the best album out of the bunch. Rosemary and Roller Derby are both amazing. I think it made it easier for me to love SNW because I had not heard any of the early stuff. It was extremely different from what I was used to and it made me realize there was so much better music out there. I do know why people dislike DE. It was the fastest album made so I think people just dont like that. It probably would have been better if they had had more time
Diamond Eyes is just simply an amazing album to me, I had ranked WP as my favorite from them for a while but DE passed it for me a while ago...I don't know how to explain, but to me, DE is just an amazing collection of energy and positivity every time that I listen to it. There isn't really a song off of it that I don't like...I love how the first 3 tracks set the pace, I love the sultry feel of YSTB, Beauty School always puts a smile on my face...I think Prince is my least favorite but still not what I would consider anything less than a "good" song...Rocket Skates never fails to energize me....I love the last 4 tracks as well...Sextape is one of my favorite 'Tones songs, and the last three songs flow so well to me. DE is not only my favorite Deftones albums, it's my favorite album period from the last few years in music, I would say. I've listened to it a ridiculous amount of times front to back and it just never gets old.
now its around the fur, the whole album runs great together like a train, it has ups downs and before long its gone..has great opener and closer too..hmmm
I liked Snw the best(Yeah you read this correctly) , but their Self-titled is a close second. All of their albums are amazing, Diamond Eyes is probably my least favorite at the moment, but I think it just needs to age a little bit like a fine wine or something, then hopefully I'll come to appreciate it a bit more:p

I hate ranking them, because i love every single one more than life itself... but here goes nothing:
1.S/T
2.White Pony
3.ATF
4.Adrenaline
5.DE
6.SNW
Somehow I have the feeling that many people chose ATF as #1 just because Chino says it is. It's nice to see that SNW is also getting some love. Not the best album, but it' still good.

That's the album that got me into the group. BQAD was incredibly unique and powerful when I first heard it (some cool lyrics to boot) and I got the album soon after. Also Mascara is my favorite song by them, MOS has a dirty and raw feel to it, and MX is just absolutely twisted. All that and Max Cavalera appearing on Headup make this album too cool for school.
Around the Fur for me. My Own Summer was the first song I every heard. It was a real Koi No Yokan moment for me, if you know what I mean :).

the forth album is called LOVERS dammit
...troll, troll, troll your boat....
In all fairness, even though my vote went to ATF, and WP is numero dos in my book, SNW and Adrenaline would be tied for bronze. I really love SNW, it's a great album. There's a lot going on with it, they really explored with the structure of the songs on this album (I know I've said it before). It's dark and very experimental.
WP, but DE is a close second. I'm surprised to see so much hate for DE...
This is probably the one band that I absolutely cannot pick a favorite album. I've probably listened to White Pony the most but since I've listened to it so much, it's lost a little bit of it's shine. If you held a gun to my head I'd probably go with it but I like all their albums about the same except for DE and S/t. I like those albums too but they are a notch below.
SNW :)

I agree SNW for me as well. I remember being floored the first time I hear Xerces, I was completely floored that they could pull a song off like that. So amazing! This album always gets shit on when I get talking Deftones with people. Diamond Eyes and White Pony are close seconds for me.

I know, right?! I feel like Diamond Eyes is a more solid album than SNW.. but hell, I love all their albums equally - which one I enjoy more depends on what mood I'm in. And sweet Bleach avatar by the by
Bob Ezrin Demo Sessions. No? Okay fine then...
White Pony.
Around the Fur is their best. Closely followed by White Pony and, for me anyways I place S/T in third. The rest are interchangeable.

I actually like DE as much as ATF, to each their own I guess.

Nice to see that album get some love. I really like that one too. I even like Rapture and Rats. A lot of people hate those 2 songs but there is an element to them that makes me feel like I'm at the end of my sanity and I love it.

I actually like Rapture a lot. Even more when you know it was recorded in just one take -according to Shaun Lopez. You can sense the urgency, the raw energy coming from Chino. It's a shame it was recorded during his worst era vocal-wise.
Rats also kind of has that feel, but to me the chorus kills the song. The bridge and ending are killer, though.
My favorite tones album is usually shifting between ST and SNW.
Fuck yeah S/T kicks off with two awesome tracks, then after Minerva the songs just groove with great riffs . The ending to Bloody Cape with the screams, and then the beginning of Anniversary is incredible with the loud and brutal, and then sad and mellow piano right after.
Moana always brings me back to S/T. That song is so beautiful.
ive been gravitating torwards around the fur so much this end of the year, such a fresh album... and still today, it doesnt feel not even a single bit outdated. i fucking love it. if white pony is a master piece...wtf is around the fur supposed to be?

I went with White Pony it was the first Deftones i heard and i Love the emotion in songs like pink maggit,change,digital bath and knife party .I have alot of love for atf though I learnt guitar by playing those songs,It's a very good record but those White Pony songs make it for me.
I never EVER thought I would change.
Thought ATF would be my fav Deftones album of all time.Hands down.Forever.
I guess shit changes, as does life, and I tend to now think ATF will always be my fav in regards to the memory of life when I was in my 20's.For me music is often a snapshot in time.Right now I can't compare any album to White Pony.I have personal connection and relevance with every song on that album atm.
Still vote Lotion as my fav song though.THAT will never change.

That's funny because apparently I voted ATF in this poll too, and I didn't think that would change. I could easily say Deftones is my favorite album now.
Though i love every single album they have made i just have to say Diamond Eyes.
That album just hits me in another way than any album i've ever heard before for some reason.

Diamond Eyes is one of their better albums in my opinion. After ATF and White Pony it is probably next in line.
Wow, this is difficult.
I find it hard to define what my favourite is. Someone mentioned a few pages back that your personal connection to an album outiside of the music itself has a lot to do with it, and they couldn't be more right.
Adrenaline is the one I listen to the least, but it holds fond memories for me and I like its raw aesthetic.
I have a deep connection with White Pony, played that to death when it came out, but in terms of song writing, I think ATF is better - in my opinion it's pretty much a perfect record, so incredibly consistent and immediate. But then in terms of consistency DE also comes damn close to that record, even if it doesn't provide as much emotional impact for me as some of their other releases.
Deftones is another one where I think the song-writing is one of the weaker elements, but the tone and overall flow of the thing is amazing, and for that reason it often it slips into first position for me.
SNW I struggle to connect with as a cohesive album, though I think it has some of their best individual moments on it.
Oh, and I also genuinely LOVE Koi No Yokan, definitely one of my favourites from them.
So, to conclude, I have no fucking clue.

nice. i agree, ATF is such a refreshing classic. it has almost all of the elements that make deftones what it is, making the record a pinacle of consistent and cohesive material, to my eyes, their best.
WP is such an eclectic rollercoaster...although the success it got, i think it can only be really appreciated from afar.
i loved that '90s to 00' era, the band escalated awesomely.
the '00 has it great moments, but by no means its comparable to the first era.
what eros could have done, it is still a mistery.
all i know is that im looking forward for the 3rd instalment in this 3rd era, i think we might get a great one just again. i know this could sound really silly considering KNY has only been out for so much. still, i believe.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. As I said, I love Koi No Yokan, but I appreciate their music in a different way these days, and I think different contexts with the different eras is important. I don't think their music has the intensity it used to, but they are still an amazing band, and i still love their music. Like you, I believe they still have another stone cold classic in them!
Reading my comment back, I guess ATF must be my favourite seeing as I described it as 'pretty much a perfect record' haha
Recently:
White Pony
Deftones
Around The Fur (never thought that'd drop)
Diamond Eyes
Koi No Yokan
Adrenaline

satuday night wrist.
probably KNY after that. theyre just all so freaking great.
Voted ATF back then, but it's been S/T for a while now.
I wish I could change my vote from S/T to Diamond Eyes.

I could echo this same sentiment.
I don't really think in terms of favorite anything in life. Life is too short to be stuck on something and close minded. I love everything. Especially when it comes to deftones, they are the most consistent band. they're last two records got me back in to guitar music. I've always been more about, well I love everything, but I like lyrical, melodic and rhythmic music. reggae, new wave, r and b soul and so on.
I voted Self titled, because they're all equal to me, around the fur meant the most to me in a lot of ways forever, I could say the same about white pony, and these last two, but self titled is just a special place. 2003.
Im slowly now verging towards ST but SNW holds special place in my heart.
Adrenaline (since I've listen tho the deftones, I never tought it would be my favorite album)

I'm staunch on the top 3 and the bottom 2, but ranking gets tricky around SNW, DE and Gore. It could be different for me on any given day. That's how I'm feeling today, though.

That's pretty much my ranking, except Adrenaline's higher up, probably above Diamond Eyes.

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.)
This is exactly why S/T is TO DATE, my favorite album.
Quote from: dopeybanana on Sep 04, 2012, 02:26 PM
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.
This was my favorite also before the release of 'Deftones', and this says why. And it's my 2nd favorite.
Quote from: dopeybanana on Sep 04, 2012, 02:26 PM
3. Adrenaline: the punky energy makes up for all that and....DOSE RIFFS!
Quote from: dopeybanana on Sep 04, 2012, 02:26 PM
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. )
As a guitar player, I seem to like some songs more when I learn to play them (Elite and Feiticeira is a good example), and one of my favorite albums to full play is this one, Adrenaline and ATF, and love the way Stef added his 7 string to 'Deftones', however, I would like more of that style on SNW.

Mother of God , someone on a Deftones FAN FORUM isn't calling Gore a piece of shit like all the other " fans "
You do lose points from me for rating ATF so low, though . But that's just where we differ, lol

The majority of Adrenaline and parts of ATF are just not the type of music I prefer to listen to nowadays. Still like them.
