Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Call it what you want: emo-core, alternative, sneaker metal...the Deftones seemed the most unlikely quartet to come out on Madonna's Maverick Records. The music is agro, abrasive, and damn near primal from the disc's first few seconds. Tool-like whisperings of front-man Chino Moreno can bring the mood from disconcerting to downright dangerous in seconds. Heavy, chunky guitar riffs, mad raps, and testy tempo changes make this a must-have for fans of whisper-to-a-primal-scream alterna-rock. Killer tracks: "Bored" and "7 Words". --Denise Sheppard

the album is very loud and very aggressive. If ever you should find yourself in a bad mood, a nice sing/scream along will almost certainly make you feel better. It always does me. This is just one of the coolest albums there is. Buy it.

this was the deftones first album, and along with around the fur, their best. This album is raw, loud and every single track has a fantastic riff and painfully powerful vocals. Standout tracks include bored (an early sign of the influence a repetetive riff can have), minus blindfold (haunting guitars and vocals), engine number nine (sheer metal excellance), and best of all: root (the best intro ever combined with perfect vocals and instrumental backing). if you like hard, heavy metal with piercing vocals and thumping riffs that deserve full volume, buy this album before all others.

After listening to Around the Fur, and being blown away by it's originality and power (enough to get the most stressed person relaxed, after a stint of exploding on the dance floor), I obviously went ahead and bought Adrenaline. I was, and still am, in awe when it comes to them. The CD does take a few playings to get used to (as does any CD) before you start appreciating the cleverness of the band. Obvious favorite is 7 words, but if you like the mellower side of the Deftones, your fave will probably be Minus Blindfold....anyway, here's to good music.

Before the Deftones were good.

Thier first and heaviest album
The first Deftones album I bought was White Pony. Aside from two heavy tracks, I didn't like it that much. On Adrenaline, every song is like those two tracks. Read more
