Deftones Artist Snapshot:

Most aggro-metal bands of the late-1990s (Korn, Limp Bizkit, etc.) made it on the strength of their rage-filled music, but none added as much melody to the agitated proceedings as the Deftones did. While their music takes many an explosive twist and turn, singer Chino Moreno's admiration of certain '80s new wave/alt-rockers (namely the Cure and Depeche Mode) adds an extra dimension to the band's wall of sound.

Review

Rolling Stone (7/20/00, p.139) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...a classic alternative-rock album, as gentle and catchy as it is dark....trading nuance for studio-generated crescendoes..."
Entertainment Weekly (7/7/00, p.130) - "...Their brutality will burn its way into your memory banks." - Rating: B+
Q (7/00, pp.112-4) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Their most adventurous and assured album to date....Best appreciated if your 16, covered in spots and not scared of falling off your skateboard...a welcome addition to 2000's modern-metal canon."
Alternative Press (7/00, p.97) - 5 out of 5 - "...Explores rock's sonic possibilities from the head and the gut, without diluting the intention or diminishing its essence....WHITE PONY is invigorating."
CMJ (1/08/01, p.24) - Included in CMJ's "Best Loud Rock Albums" of 2000.
CMJ (6/19/00, p.3) - "...More influenced by new wave than new metal....[the album] is a masterwork of fluctuating dynamics..."
Melody Maker (6/27/00, p.76) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A very good album....Deftones will always be the most rewarding of the current nu-metal crop..."
NME (Magazine) (6/17/00, p.40) - 8 out of 10 - "...Regarded as the biggest American rock album to be released this year....it's a good job they've made a great album....And it sounds like Foreigner."

Title Note

Deftones: Chino Moreno (vocals, guitar); Stephen Carpenter (guitar); Chi Cheng (bass); Abe Cunningham (drums); Frank Delgado (turntables).

Recorded at The Plant Recording Studios, Sausalito, California.

"Elite" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.

The Deftones have always been known for walking a tightrope of extremes, from crunchy guitar riffing to gentle, melodically fleshed-out chords, with vocals ranging from a breathy hush to devilish bellowing, and some occasional hip-hop phrasing for good measure. With WHITE PONY, Deftones mastermind and vocalist/guitarist Chino Moreno has brought the band to full gallop.

Somewhat inspired by the game show, "Feiticeira" recounts a chilling abduction from the first person perspective, while "Digital Bath" features moody verses and brutal choruses. "Elite" uses a vocal approach usually reserved for death metal bands while "Rx Queen" is morbidly romantic. "Teenager" celebrates the purity of adolescence and "Passenger" showcases a vocal duel between Tool/A Perfect Circle frontman Maynard James Keenan who co-wrote the track. Deftly produced by the band and metal producing veteran Terry Date, WHITE PONY is far from a sideshow; it's the main event.
