After SNW, and Chi's death, there was a real fear the band were just done.

Good album, with some absolutely killer tracks, but it just feels a little bit less intimate than their latter catalogue.ĭiamond Eyes - I'd probably put this at #4 too. I'd rank this as my #1 but I can see why artistically WP might have the edge.Īdrenaline - I think this is too high on the list. I even that that random, stoned Chino sound clip off the CD (before Damone) as my voicemail when I was a student. I had and liked some of the stuff off Adrenaline, but ATF came out the year I finished high school and so my (southern hemisphere) summer was soundtracked by this album.

Also Feiticera is the first track, and Back to School is from the Mini-Maggit EP!Īround the Fur - This was my first deftones album. It's just such a confident and mature album for them, and I remember how visceral the shift from Adrenaline and ATF felt to this before deciding this was an almost perfect album. Essentially a person's ranked list, published in a heavy music periodical, I'm not sure I agree with their rankings:
