The Deftones

I absolutely adore the deftones. I've been a fan since I was a kid and first heard Adrenaline. They don't have the most technically skilled strings section of all time, but they redeem themselves by playing very aggressively. Abe's drumming is stellar, and his timing is so strange I often get lost in the drumming when I listen to them. Chino is also one of my favorite vocalists. I've never been able to get into metal, or most hardcore because I can't stand the growling vocals, and I'm into the whisper to scream thing that Chino does so well, so they naturally appeal to me.

I own all their albums, I love them all, although the 2nd half of Saturday Night Wrist is kind of disappointing, I've been expecting a bad album since White Pony came out, and thankfully they're proven me wrong.
 
I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on their last album.....I bought their last album as my first album from them and well.....I don't know....
 
I was expecting that self-titled album to be a disappointment because I'd read bad review after bad review and I never thought they'd make anything as perfect as White Pony again. But Deftones was a good effort and it's now my second favourite album of theirs. :p:

Saturday Night Wrist cool but I agree that it does seem to lose something in the second half.
 
I think Chino's an arrogant waste of talent (or lack their of) I like some of their songs but I saw them alive and assumed their were techinical problems they were so bad. But tracks like Root and Passenger are good.

But over all impression with them is so so, Chino, in my mind, is the Scott Stapp of the Deftones. I think their drummer is excellent though.
 
Yeah I agree with you, But I think that Deftones are pretty good and Disturbed are ok becuase there newest album was a huge let down
 
Now here is one of those banRAB that sound awesome in studio on tape then live. And it maybe that BOTH times I saw them Chino was having a bad day..but they sucked live..to the point I actually felt bad for spending the money on the ticket..but I can so jam to them while listening to them on stereo...they did a track with Tool..well..Maynard..at that rocked and they collaberate really well with other banRAB..but I wouldnt see them live..ever...again...
 
If I didn't get here so late I would've voted for White Pony. That album is incredible.

I love the way Chino can make screaming sound beautiful. :p:

Deftones really changed my taste in music when I was younger.
