It was really hard for me to choose between "white pony era" and "ST era".

But I have to pick "white pony era" for all the high/sensual/crazy/strange atmosphere around the band, their own experiences and all the ambiant/magical shows.
I love the photoshoots, interview... almost everything in that era.
Also, the album is magical.

"ST era" is pretty much insane too but in another way. Deep, dark, heavy, violent, agressives shows, old school Chino with the socks.

I chose DE. I wasnt a fan until around 2009, so I cant pick any of the previous ones, though I know if I was a fan sooner, WP or ST woulda been my favorite era because the music woulda fitted my mood perfectly back then. I chose DE because this era isnt done yet obviously, so cant compare, but DE was the first album they released since I became a fan, they all seemed to be doing well, happy, Chino getting healthier, great shows, etc.

You can't really choose early years or the Eros sessions because it was pretty much undocumented, apart from a few snippets and bad quality recordings. Either way ATF right through to SNW.

there is no post 2001 show [excepting espacio broadway 2012 (santiago) - malvinas 2011 (buenos aires)], that can be compared to the 2000-2001 era. you can't compete with climax.

I'm the only one to vote SNW?  You guys are lame.

Lame album lame guy!

wut?

Awesome album, but bad era.  The band almost broke up because of it!  Although I consider it their single greatest achievement I wouldn't consider that a good era for Deftones =P

It's such a tough choice between ATF, WP and Deftones. I chose White Pony though.

DE for me, not only because of a great album, but because I saw them twice in a row, both the best 'tones shows I've been to (one in my home town even, felt really strange). Chi was missed, but the band seemed to be on top and there was just so much energy and buzz around them. every live show sounded awesome, they looked healthy and clean. and in my personal life exciting and fun stuff was happening.
pray nightfall release me
then i could wander, wander to deep sleep

White Pony era.
Didn't saw them live on that era but when i listen to white pony it always brings me good memories of my childhood. I received the CD as a birthday present back in 2000, i turned 11 years old when i got the CD.

For me ATF era... Special times, seeing them live a lot of times in 1997 and 1998. Met them for the first time when they were still 'small'. Shows full of fire and passion. First record I got when it was released in Oct 1997. ATF!

Favourite album is easily S/T and because I got into the band with WP post release, S/T was the first of their releases I anticipated and the first album that I essentially went through the motions with, from first hearing it and it having that unfamiliar feeling, to how I feel today. I think it was their musical highpoint in terms of engendering their songs with a great emotional wealth having established a highly cerebral, sensual atmosphere on albums prior to it.

However I have to vote for the ATF era as it's when their musical identity truly arose. Adrenaline came first, sure, but where that album is the 'newborn', I think the highly energetic vibe of the ATF era is when they 'started to talk' and 'run around', and they became an identity. Didn't experience it myself but I can see the passion in the shows and the focus in the writing and recording that went into ATF. Adrenaline is like an unearthed diamond and with ATF the diamond has been cut.

I voted S/T. Thats just when i really got into the band.

Chino with Dreadlocks era.

I'd have to say ATF. The whole band was so youthful and full of energy, and Chino's voice was still in peak condition.
