Not my favourite Deftones album but one I hold with high regard. You can tell this is their first album because it has a more core feel and less commercial influence feels like it went into it compared to later albums even if it’s full of what might be considered by some as safer tracks. I think this album still holds value in 2026 more so than some of the other albums which have been appropriated.
Favourite tracks:
