CD DEFTONES - DEFTONES - EAN 093624835028 Review: Dark and heavy, very underappreciated - Deftones self titled album again shows another side to them. All of their albums have a specific sound to them, and for the self titled album it is one of darkness and brooding. The album shifts between soaring skull crushers and slower atmospheric pieces quite brilliantly. Although this is the Deftones album that took the longest to appreciate it is certainly up there with the others and rewards repeated listens. The album begins with possibly the bands heaviest song in 'Hexagram' which has Chino produces what can only be described as unworldly screaming, smashed between evil sounding guitars and hammering drums. Its a brilliantly explosive start. Next is 'Needles & Pins' which might be my favourite track. The brilliant drumming from Abe, weird electronics and wonderful chorus of Chi's low growl mixed with Chino's shriek make it a highlight. The other songs in this vein are excellent. 'Good Morning Beautiful' had some great distorted riffs and a very catchy chorus. 'When Girls Telephone Boys' is another standout, with more unearthly screaming from Chino and more heavy guitar work, another great chorus is there too with one of the best metal riffs in a long time. Elsewhere 'Bloody Cape' is surging and impossible not to head bang to, with the most explosive closing i've heard. The slower, more reflective and brooding songs are very good too. 'Minerva' is one of the bands best. The guitars and drums still rock away, but Chino's sensitive vocals and the soaring chorus make it a work of beauty. 'Deathblow' is more trip-hop like with a really good atmosphere, while 'Battle-Axe' is a heavier gloomier piece with some excellent riffs. 'Anniversary Of An Uninteresting Event' is pretty unique for Deftones as its a lot calmer and more sweeping that usual but its a nice song all the same. The only tracks i can't get into are 'Lucky You' which breaks the flow of the album, and closer 'Moana' which although not bad isn't as good as the other songs. 'Deftones' is another brilliant album from the best heavy band around, and though not as well thought of as their other work it is definitely up there.

Ho ascoltato talmente tanto…
… questo album che pensavo di averlo. Forse lo avevo e l’ho perso. Comunque l’ho ricomprato perché non si può non avere quest’album. Cover: bellissima. Brani: bellissimi. Band: al top della sua carriera, mai comunque una cosa fuori posto anche dopo. La storia dei Deftones in un solo album. Non è White Pony così potrete dire: “I Deftones non sono solo White Pony”. Comunque io acquisterei anche tutti gli altri. Attualmente mi manca solo Gore per avere tutto quello che hanno fatto. Deftones rimane comunque meglio di Gore, a livelli di Diamond Eyes ecco. Compratelo adesso costa anche poco. La consegna è stata come al solito pazzesca.
