Dubbed as emo-core, alternative, or sneaker metal, the Deftones made an unexpected entrance onto Madonna's Maverick Records. Their music is raw, aggressive, and almost primal from the first seconds of the disc. Frontman Chino Moreno's Tool-like whispers can shift the mood from unsettling to outright dangerous in an instant. Packed with heavy, chunky guitar riffs, intense raps, and unpredictable tempo changes, this album is a must-listen for fans of alterna-rock that transitions seamlessly from whispers to primal screams. Standout tracks include "Bored" and "7 Words".
