Deftones - Give me a top 5 of their music

quote:

---

A guy told me to listen to Adrenaline.

Rawest and heaviest album by far. However, it tends to lag at times and really isn't the best display of their musical diversity.

My top 5 order would be:
1. White Pony (one of the greatest albums released in the last 15 years)
2. Around the Fur (still edgy but with some better crafted songs)
3. Diamond Eyes (a very underrated and atmospheric release)
4. Adrenaline (I like it for its simplicity and Abe Cunningham's fantastic drumwork)
5. Koi No Yokan (great comeback album that is definitely worth a listen)

As far as individual songs go, check out the following:
"Bored"
"My Own Summer (Shove It)"
"Mascara"
"Be Quite And Drive (Far Away)"
"Change (In the House of Flies)"
"Passenger"
"Digital Bath"
"Elite"
"Knife Party"
"Diamond Eyes"
"The Tempest"
"Headup"
"Minus Blindfold"
"Leathers"

Adreneline
Around tne Fur
White Pony
Diamond Eyes
Deftones


In that order...whitepony is arguebly the best but the first three are incredible as a trio..

Sat night wrist and Koi No Yokan are great but not on the levels of that list...anyway...they are a great fricking band

Agree. I'm really pissed off that I missed them at the Varsity last year. I'm hoping they will be on the bill for Mayhem Fest this summer.

I tried getting into Saturday Night Wrist but it just doesn't grab me like the other albums.

White Pony was brilliant. Diamond Eyes is great. And of course everything earlier than WP.

Adrenaline sucked. I think White Pony is overrated too

Saturday Night Wrist is my favorite now. Back in the day it was White Pony. People slept on the self-titled album, but I really liked it as well.

Five Songs:

Change
Beware the Water
You've seen the Butcher (cool video for this one)
Tempest
Be Quiet and Drive

One of my favorite bands of all time.

Root is a bad arse song
Digital Bath is good too

I don't get into 'top songs' as much as whole albums. That being said, I love their first two albums- Adrenaline and Around the Fur. I saw the Deftones at least 5-6 times live in their early days, so watched them build up their audience and support after starting 3rd billed in clubs...
