Nu Metal
whatever that means, it's closer to hard rock, alternative though. This band was labeled nu metal. In any case, it's different sounding, and worth checking out if you want to hear something that you might not have heard before.


White Pony
The album did quite well with the critics and peaked at #3 in the Billboard 200. White Pony being Deftone's third studio album and their 2000 release and tracks that stand out on this release are "Digital Bath", "Elite" and "Change (In the House of Flies)". The booklet is very informative with a list of all the lyrics, a list of the members and what they play. 4/5.

I ordered the cd about 5pm , and recieved it the next day. The product was great, but the overnight service was wonderful.
wonderful service.

Modern Classic
All the while, they manage to stay very heavy, as singer Chino Moreno channels his inner Morrissey and croons heartfully in between his guttural screams. Adrenaline and Around The Fur may have been good albums, but White Pony is where the Deftones really crawl deeper into their sound, and digging up New Wave musical influences like The Smiths and The Cure.

While songs like "Elite" and "Korea" tread over familiar moshing territory, the band really shines when they go beyond the familiar Nu-Metal sound. "Feiticeira," with its infectious snare work and walls of distortion, is kept melodic by the vocals. Slower, more progressive tracks like "Change," "Rx Queen," and "Digital Bath" are hypnotic, and you can't help but just float with the music.

Unfortunately, Deftones have never been able to top this album since its release, but that doesn't detract from the fact that this once Nu-Metal band was able to break free from that stale musical mold, and forge their own way into infamy.
