Deftones Band • Page 167

yeah it kinda sucks for a Deftones song anyway

which is still much better than most bands

 

Around The Fur
Diamond Eyes
White Pony
Koi No Yokan
Self-Titled
Gore
Ohms
Saturday Night Wrist
Adrenaline

 

SNW is very good. Hole in the Earth and Beware are two of their best songs

 

SNW has some of their best songs for sure, but it also has some of their worst imo.

 

Mein is worse than Pink Cellphone tbh. Aside from Abe's drumming, it's a big ol' bag of nothing.

Half of SNW is great. It has a few songs that just aren't, and that's enough for it to be the worst Deftones record, in my opinion.

 

"mein" rules wtf

 

I was OBSESSED with SNW when it came out. That was my first Deftones album. My gateway into them. So, I hold that album up on a pedestal.

That's a wild ranking

 

why

 

Self-titled is on the lower end of their discography for me, honestly might be second or third last, but still cool.

 

i’d prob come up with a v similar list to cherrywaves

much like the buddha i have come to realize ranking this band’s mostly equally good albums is folly and i exist in a free-floating state absent of the cycles of human suffering

 

None of my rankings have ever been about quality and are only about my enjoyment of them. They just don't make bad music.

 

Fixed.

 

Still sucks what they did to Sergio

really these rankings just make me realize how good their albums are. I kind of have to rank them by how many songs I absolutely love off that particular album, or if there’s some sentimental attachment to any of them. White Pony changed my life, as a… 11-12 year old? It was the first time I listened to an album that wasn’t immediate, but I was drawn in by something that kept me coming back time and time again.

 

It’s a phenomenal album to me and one of their most revisited from the earlier years. Definitely came around to it later around the release of KNY.

 

I just think SNW being top three and Around the Fur being better than S/T and Diamond Eyes is bold lol

 

This is one of the toughest bands to rank albums. But I'll give it a shot

They're my favorite band. White Pony & Diamond Eyes will always be tied for the number 1 spot and the rest of the discography shuffles around constantly, but I love all their records.

This band's discography is tough to rank. All I know is my top two and bottom three are pretty locked in. White Pony got me into the band and changed the way I listened to music, specifically metal music, and it challenged what I believed metal music could be. Diamond Eyes is just banger after banger does not miss. On the other end of the spectrum, I listen to ATF occasionally. It has some fuckin Riffs, but I just prefer the direction they began to go in with WP. Adrenaline, I rarely listen to. I used to love Gore during its album cycle, but I haven't found myself listening to it much over the last five years. The mix leaves a bit to be desired and, as a result, it lacks a punch that other albums in their discography have. I also think it's mostly a collection of good songs and not many great ones.

The other four albums could go in practically any order. Sometimes, I favor the consistency of KNY and Ohms, other times I favor the highs of Deftones and SNW. You could ask me for my ranking during any discography run of theirs I do and I guarantee you it would be different any time. I just never know what order to put those four albums in. Do I look at them in regard to how many of my favorite songs from this band are from them? I do look at how many songs I love from each album? Do I look at how much I enjoy those albums as wholes? Do I look at them by how frequently I listen to them? I never know, which is why I feel like they could in any order.

Great band, though I do miss Sergio and do think that whole situation was whack.

 

It's a bit like how if you shuffle a pack of cards, the statistical likelihood is that it's never been in that exact arrangement before. There's no real Deftones ranking.

Having said that...

...this is the closest one I've seen to my ranking. S/T is in my top three, and I definitely have Ohms higher than you, but mine is pretty similar.

 

Never knew SNW was so unpopular before...

I'd say SNW and self-titled are about equal, but Hole in the Earth and Cherry Waves are two of my favorite Deftones songs.

 

SNW is easily one of the band's most unpopular albums, likely driven by the public comments they've made about how much they don't like it

 

Ah, I see. I’m more of recent fan and was unaware of that lol
