It opens with a killer riff from Stef Carpenter, which is echoed by Chi Cheng's omnious bass work. The first single is a classic Deftones song. The album is also more diverse, musically, as it contains moody/atmospheric elements from the bands 80's influences (The Cure, The Smiths, etc.) On 'Around the Fur', he improves greatly, going from soft spoken word singing to his trademark piercing scream. My main complaint with the album is that Chino Moreno's vocals were a bit incomprehensible throughout, especially during the verses, in which he delivered them in more of a rapid fire, spoken word type thing. It had a rather lo-fi feel, but that worked to its advantage, as the album relied solely on the band's aggression, not slick studio production. "The Deftones' debut album, the aptly titled 'Adrenaline', was a heavy onslaught of raw metal. ORDER IN THIS ORDER, AROUND THE FUR or WHITE PONY, THEN ADRENALINE!" I love the chorus, man!The sophomore jinx isn't even considered, great job Deftones. I didn't like the cameo of the girl, sorry. Another Tool-sound, but then Chino raps in (Maynard doesn't rap).10. It just drags a tiny bit and it might sound too similar to the other songs. The chorus is again catchy! Will these hooks ever end? LOL!8. The hookiest song on this CD, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.7. Another Ballad-esque, but this time with probably the best song structure. Tool-style beats here (YES!), the chorus is so catchy that it's most memorable of the entire CD. Could've definitely become a major, major hit.5. The riffs are catchy (damn, they always are!). TITLE TRACK ROCKS! Chino sings and yells just great. "There's something about her", OH, VERY MUSICAL!4. Wow! I have no idea why they didn't release this one! (Actually they could have released the entire first 8 songs for singles!) The verse is mumbled with Chino's rage, but the Chorus is extremely pleasurable to the listeners ears, wow!3. As their most known single, it's definitely a great mood setter for the upcoming tracks.2. Chino does possibly his best vocally on this track. No, this isn't basically Chino yelling "shove it" just for the hell of it, the words are artistic. Here are my opinions on each song on a scale of 1 to 10:1. In fact, the entire CD is pretty much edgy. If you just recently started listening to the Deftones, especially White Pony, this has some of White Pony's similarities but basically has a much, much harder edge. "Deftones killed with this one!Deftones improve on this album from their 1995 adrenaline release.
