7/20/2023 0 Comments Deftones albums after 2012With a Summer tour set to kick off in August, we thought we’d revisit the band’s catalogue and rank it (rank it! rank it! rank it!). The addition of turntablist/sampler Frank Delgado also helped set them apart from their peers. However, the combination of Chino Moreno’s unique and expressive vocals taking a cue from The Cure’s Robert Smith and Morrissey, the rhythm section of Chi Cheng and Abe Cunningham that was influenced by bands like Bad Brains, and Stephen Carpenter’s love of metal, they have a sound that transcended and outlasted nu-metal. Having released the album as nu-metal was at it’s height, they could have continued to mine those waters. Since their debut album Adrenaline in 1995, the band have staked out a unique territory in heavy music. That also means that with having had two months to digest the album, we can comfortably rank it alongside the rest of their catalog. It’s been over two months since Deftones released their eighth album, Gore, and it’s #2 debut gave the band their best chart week since 2003.
