Seriously 😍

Well said.

Songs like this are why babies are made.

Yup.

Such a good band to drive and listen to at night with clear skies. Just be quiet and drive!

@@coperniki8286 My absolute favorite thing to do when i need to clear my head. Deftones and the open road, nothing better.

it was def coined before this album, then. lol

Couldn't have said it better.

Self titled album and Diamond Eyes are his best works with Deftones imo

@@frightenedsoul those ambient keys and samples on Hexagram and When Girls Telephone Boys is so ethereal. It helps contrast the aggressive baritone and screams.

Basically everything since white pony

thank you for saying this

You've Seen The Butcher, that should be on the list too.

Interesting choices, but not what I would consider their heavy side at all. He'd be better off with Around the Fur era tracks for that imo. Around the Fur, Dai the Flu, Lotion, etc. Teething from The Crow II Soundtrack would work too.

Agreed, and he should check the last album too. Spell of mathematics or Genesis

Also Romantic Dreams and Leathers

Agreed! Rocket Skates and Knife Party are musts for Deftones!

for years my friend!

no matter how much I listen, every time I get goosebumps

Amen

Agreed about it being their best album, though in my case it was the album that got me into the band when they released it, so I have some nostalgia and special memories I associate with it and therefore I have a bit of a bias in favor of it. But it really is one of their better works, that I think most would agree on.

Their peak was ATF, WP, and S/T imo. But Diamond Eyes is the best of their modern output for sure. You chose what I consider to be the two weakest tracks on Diamond Eyes though lol. Deftones deep cuts > Deftones singles, generally. Sometimes their b-sides are better than the album cuts too.

Totally agree! I think it is their best album as a whole, all tracks are at least solid at best masterpieces. I still put White Pony, objectively, as their best album, because of its influence and the amazing tracks on this album are above all what they have done, but it has also uninspired tracks. Diamond Eyes is definitely Deftones' most solid album, imo

I dig Saturday Night Wrist quite a bit as well

It depends on mood, but Diamond Eyes is often my favourite as well. I also see ​@Scoss Tard 's point about WP's influence as well (and it is a great album too).

This needs more likes!

im fine with rosemary or riviere but I mean there are so many more : entombed, xerces, cherry waves, beware, change, minerva, teenager, be quiet and drive (acoustic) if you are looking for ethereal so many good songs!

Rosemary is the definitive deftones song IMO

@@nielsB_FPV 100% agree. It’s got the atmosphere, the ambience, the thick heavy grooves. Amazing song. My favorite of theirs.

yes please!!!

โม้

I love White Pony as well but I think I’ve been on since Saturday Night Wrist I’d say

Ye his voice is so beautiful in this

Some people use RnB, some of us use Deftones. This that baby making music.

And we just listening

What's a fiance?

Oh, we have NO IDEA what you're talking about.. lol Yes, magical song;)

@@milegranic6975 really?

Don't forget Rosemary!

Yes

Be quiet and drive

Beware is my all time favorite, can't get enough of that song

Knife party is soo underrated

SO good.

Best song on the record imo

Such a great song!

I agree. Goosebumps and tears at the same time… one of the most beautiful songs out there…

2 of my top 5

You’ve Seen The Butcher is absolutely amazing

Beware is best Deftones song

Spell of mathematics or ohms best tracks imo

How about "Headless"

I have a couple times I think he might do it soon

I wanna be much more...love that song

@@andreneves33 such an under appreciated song in their discography

I'd love to see more deftones, but eventually I'd love to hear your take on crosses or team sleep, two other projects chino is involved in

Seconded!

Thirded. And fourthed for good measure!

wat?

@@increase9896 Fixed it, just realized there was a typo

One of my absolute favorites!

Gore was my least favorite album by them, but that song is my favorite by them lol.

That one and Phantom Bride. Two really great recent songs by them.

@@hiphopanonymous24 It def isn’t my favorite album, but it def has some solid content on it.

Yesss

@@hiphopanonymous24 kinda feel the same..that song is something else!

And then there's PALMS, which is the one-album Chino / ISIS team-up project which is also amazing, more spacey and psychedelic post-rock.

YEEESSSSSSS! ISIS is very underrated and I think they didn't do themselves any favors with the band name! Spiral out!

@@duanem.5738 To be fair though, the band Isis existed before another Isis, lol.

Hells yes. Anyhting from Wavering Radiant (I'd say Ghost Key instead of Halls of the Dead) or In the Absence of Truth (I'd recommend Garden of Light) is good. But yeah, ISIS. *Goes to listen to Wavering Radiant*

I wish I could give this comment more than 1 up vote. I would recommend "In Fiction" and second "Thr beginning and the end".

@@foxjade8924 I know. I just wanted to make it easy for him to find, because you know how much he likes his gummies...

YOU'VE SEEN THE BUTCHER!

MORE Deftones indeed!! In terms of alternative rock/metal.....I've always considered Tool and Deftones to be THE pinnacle. Tool is the more cerebral spiritual side. Deftones is the sensual right-brained carnal side. And they have a _gorgeous_ propensity to incorporate shoegaze, dream pop, and new wave elements into their sound. It's a rabbit hole every bit as deep and satisfying as Tool. I could list a bunch of songs you should check out, like others are doing. But then I'd just end up listing their entire discography. I'll just suggest.....start with anything off Saturday Night Wrist, Diamond Eyes, or Koi No Yokan. My personal 3 favorites. I first got into them in the late 90s....and LOVED White Pony. But somehow....those 3 albums genuinely topped White Pony, at least in my opinion. That's how good this band is. I think their best albums are their 5th, 6th, and 7th. How many bands can you say THAT about?

Doot.

Doot.

Speaking of, he should listen to Deftones - Simple Man.

Indeed.

@@ShonnDaylee No Ordinary Love. The Chauffeur. Deftones Covers is one of my favorite vinyl purchases ever.

The chauffeur is one of my favorite covers!

The chauffeur cover is so good!

The Chauffeur is one of the greatest covers ever! Love it!

Everyone forgets heavy deftones. The only ones that ever get recommended are the soft, slow songs

Chauffeur is from duran duran..

Battle axe rules !!

He's already done Digital Bath. Check out his channel!

Seconded.. Geebz has become my favorite reaction channel because he's not cookie cutter and has a wealth of knowledge about music, so I'd love to hear his thoughts on Textures. To Erase a Lifetime would also be a good suggestion.

This! Please do Hexagram! Not only is it a frekkin killer track, but it will give you a great grasp on the range of this truly epic band! The artistry! The riffs! The emotion! Do Hexagram!

Love digital bath

headless is great

Deftones get lumped into shoegaze and in some ways I can see it but only certain tracks and overall, not really.

@@drumorrison7625 Well, a band doesn't have to be locked into one genre man. Pretty sure nobody considers Deftones exclusive to that genre, bc they aren't. But some of their music does fall into shoegaze, as you said. But they're a very eclectic band that touches a lot of genres, and they do it all well. One of my all time favs and always will be.

@@mantism.d.8363 Agreed. Overall I'd categorize em as Alt Rock

@@drumorrison7625 chino’s favorite album of all time is My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless record which is basically the album that created the shoegaze genre itself, so the influence and sound is definitely there, but yeah overall I wouldn’t call deftones shoegaze, especially considering their very nu-metal sounding beginnings with Adrenaline that they’ve carried with them and slowly infused their other influences like shoegaze until you can barely hear the nu-metal any more (a good thing imo - it had its time and place but I much prefer the more expansive and atmospheric sound they started to bring after the first couple of albums)

Self-destructor is absolutely killer
