I definitely appreciate the newer stuff, but the first four albums is where it’s at for me. I remember being really impressed with Diamond Eyes when it came out though. I'm with you on this one. Maybe just because of the nostalgia, but my favorites are ATF and Adrenaline. I appreciate all of their music in some way or another, but when I think of Deftones I think of the ATF album first.

As someone who saw them play in support of Adrenaline because I am old.. I can't imagine placing Gore in front. I was just wondering the same thing as well. I remember hearing 7 words on the local independent station near me and it blew me away. Ran out and bought the tape as soon as i could. Saw them a few times around 96-98 and they were absolutely fantastic live as well. So those first couple albums are really still my favorites. Probably followed by Diamond Eyes. But i could see someone who didn't hear Adrenaline until a bit later not liking it much compared to the later albums.

Kanellos Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 I will say that seeing the majority of Gore played live over the years has been a vastly different experience than listening to it digitally. My perception of the album has changed significantly, and I appreciate it way more now. I've said it countless times; Chino can do no wrong. Every project he has been a part of has been quality. So excited for the new material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMatrix Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Adrenaline is the record I listen to more than anything. Its actually the only one I own on vinyl. Around the Fur is actually my least favorite by a pretty wide margin though. I almost never listen to that anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshiram Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Surprised there's so little love for Adrenaline, for me both the S/T and Saturday Night Wrist occupy the last spots. KNY > WP > Adrenaline > DE > ATF > Gore > S/T > SNW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewlucas Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 FOR ONCE could we just have a deftones thread where people don’t rank albums in order of favorites? 😂 It’s the same in literally every deftones thread.

ntslash Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm 38. Here are my rankings: White Pony > Koi No Yokan > Around the Fur > Diamond Eyes > Gore > Adrenaline > SNW > S/T I'd give them all 8/10 or better. andrewlucas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, Derek™ said: Are we all done pretending this album is anything less than fantastic? Not VC specifically, but I feel like a ton of people were shitting on it when it was released. It's not their best record to date but I think it's super consistent and aged nicely. This is how I feel about s/t. Can we stop letting the strength of White Pony negatively influence the rating of this album? If any one of their later albums had directly followed White Pony it would have suffered the same lackluster response. 2 hours ago, Jim Steele said: I definitely appreciate the newer stuff, but the first four albums is where it’s at for me. I remember being really impressed with Diamond Eyes when it came out though. I'm in the same boat – I've never disliked any of their albums but the first 4 are the strongest. And as suggested by a few, age certainly does have a lot to do with it (as it could for many long-running bands). I started listening when Around the Fur came out and it remains my favorite. I think the evolution of my taste in music has also had an impact on my enjoyment of all subsequent albums. But I feel the drop-off came after s/t – I like Saturday Night Wrist, Diamond Eyes, and Koi no yokan pretty equally, but was definitely less impressed by Gore. Or again, it could be that I haven't been the target audience for a while.

Fowty Dollaz Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Since we're ranking, I figured I'd chime in.

throwgncpr Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm 40, and the first couple records aren't that high on the list for me. I also fucking LOVE s/t, so maybe I'm the odd man out. It's top 2 or 3. daegor and Juturna90 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I think all their albums are either so fucking good or pretty fucking good. Can pretty much put on any deftones song other than Pink Cellphone and get excited about it, I don’t even skip that one when I play SNW tho. highfives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapeebs Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 The amount of disrespect for SNW is upsetting. Did Pink Cellphone really rub that many people the wrong way that they write off the rest of the album? 1 hour ago, Rip said: Just gonna throw this out there: I miss ††† Would kill for some new Crosses. The CD for it remains one of the few non digital albums I always have in rotation in my car. Wouldn't mind some new Team Sleep and/or a proper pressing of Team Sleep's album either.
