The undisputed masterpiece. “Elite” later won the band their sole Grammy for Best Metal Performance. Now, placing a genre on Deftones’ music seems like a fruitless endeavor, as their sound is really undefinable. In “Lhabia”, Chino’s ghostly singing offers an ethereal touch to the instrumental intensity during the chorus; the energetic drum beat captures a grungier approach to his muted vocal work. To celebrate Kaan's first album with the band, we thought we'd ease him into his new role by sitting down with him not to talk about the new record, but to chat about one of his, and the rest of the band's, favourite bands: the mighty Deftones. Deftones composed White Pony once again with producer Terry Date over the better part of a year, fine-tuning every aspect of its sound. Koi No Yokan has none of that: it is, simply, the summation of the lessons prior delivered very competently. Though ”Ohms” is achingly beautiful and works as a closing track, it doesn’t have an identity of its own, unlike the remainder of the tracklist.

I suppose that happens when you grow up with a band.". In a number of ways, Deftones’ self-titled fourth album establishes that this was not a band that was going to be content cranking out the same old formula with each offering, and Deftones is undeniably the most lavishly textured work of the band’s catalog up to this point. These cuts, among others, allow Adrenaline to make for a solid headbanging experience. And yet here’s the thing.

Even Maverick Records’ later addition of “Back to School – Mini Maggit”, against the band’s wishes, created a pair of thematic bookends with closing track “Pink Maggit.” In fact, Chino once called White Pony a “cocaine concept album”, though its narrative is inscrutable. Hardly a “worst” album despite its ranking on this list, Adrenaline was and is a worthy debut for the Deftones, introducing the world to one of heavy music’s unique voices.
Instead, it’s a purified distillation of Deftones’ career: the nuanced approach that they’re refined in the latter half of their career applied to the white-hot rockers of their youth.
