Deftones

[Eoin McLove]

White Pony has to be one of the most overrated piles of shite I've ever heard. I loved Adrenaline at the time. I found Around the Fur disappointing and kind of bland, with some catchy parts and anything else I listened to by them was bland. The Coldplay of metal sounds about right to me. 

All that said, I listened to Smile today and thought it was cool, despite being a bit long and samey by the end. The new song was grand. Dunno if I'd last a full album of any of that stuff, though.

Jaysus, White Pony is a modern classic. Their four best songs are all in a row on it too.

Adrenaline is the sound of a band finding their feet - not bad but ultimately pretty amateurish.

[Emphyrio]

Adrenaline is good but ya, a band finding their feet. I loved AtF, still think it's great but I don't throw it on much. It seems I'm still probably in the minority in that I'm not a huge White Pony fan. I think this was them again finding their feet going down a more experimental route. I think Koi No Yokan is their best album.

[Ducky]

Koi No Yokan would be my second favourite after WP, great album.

I'm a casual enough Deftones fan but Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan are the ones I've listened to most too.

[Carnage]

Yeah, I found White Pony as dull as dishwater, and everything I've heard since has been a turgid copy of the same.

[astfgyl]

Self-Titled is their best. Didn't know there was a new song must get a listen

Edit: Listened to it there and first impression was I liked it. Great to have a new album coming from these lads, although Gore didn't hold up too well for me despite my thinking it was brilliant at first.

[Circlepit]

I love the self titled,  Saturday night wrist and Diamond Eyes.  The last 2 haven't been that great. White pony is a bit mediocre.

[ochoill]

White Pony is great, my favourite by them, I love the majority of their stuff and rate them highly as a band, but yeah I can see why lads don't like WP.  I don't agree mind, but it's definitely polarising, something I didn't really cop to for a long time - I'd assumed it was just generally accepted by all Deftones fans to rank highly at least.

[Ducky]

Yeah I'm surprised by the negative opinion for WP.

My four favourite songs by then are all on it (specifically the last four on it).

[astfgyl]

Last song on it is brilliant. Pink Maggit I mean. I have the red version with The Boys Republic on it for a finish. That's another decent tune while we're here

[astfgyl]

Have the newest track, Genesis, on here.

Very Koi No Yokan sounding stuff. Nothing too amazing or breaking new ground for them, but not too shabby either. I take it as a good sign and I hope the album is a slow grower like the self titled and Saturday Night Wrist.

Saw them in 2011 at the tail end of the Diamond Eyes cycle. Discovered them via that album and I never tired of it. White Pony, for me, didn't measure up to the clattering changes and lush vistas on Diamond Eyes. Looking forward to what they come up with post-Gore.
