Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Jan 23, 2003
Pros: An impressive mixture of Deftones intensity with new influences for a solid, noteworthy album
Cons: A couple "developmental" tracks that make the album falter
Summary: No one knew quite what to expect with all the hype surrounding the Deftones' May 2000 release of White Pony. Coming off of their breakthrough album Around
the Fur, the band had taken three years to ... read more

Pros: 11 Tracks of pure brilliance, no skip button needed here.
Cons: Chino's voice can grate after a while.
Summary: Deftones are often considered to be one of the 'Children of the KoRn' because there music is very similar to KoRn's in the sense that the guitars are heavy and lyrics are violent. But what most people don't know is that they actually formed a year ... read more

Pros: Excellent song order, High quality Production, beautifully crafted atmosphere, cool smooth set of tunes
Cons: You want more of it, and more, just like sex
Summary: Well people this is my second review and counting, Ill probably get tired of introducing myself by the 50th or so album but hey, Im a nice guy really. Ive got to admit something now though, I am biased towards Deftones because they were the ones that real ... read more

Pros: Great lyrics, good music, better instrumentally than previous efforts, Maynard James Keenan appearance.
Cons: Chino can be annoying, sometimes too unnecessarily heavy
Summary: This album goes above and beyond the previous two efforts, which were for the most part solely for headbanging. These songs all have great lyrics, better rhythm, and the entire album is a huge step forward instrumentally for the band. Maynard James ... read more

Pros: Everything
Cons: If you own the "Revised Edition" like me, then the first track is dumb
Summary: My Review of The Deftones – White Pony
My personal Deftones story: First of all I would like to point out that I am a very open person when it comes to music, I like all kinds of music except talentless poser bands
i.e. Linkin Park. I ... read more

Pros: Lyrics are aboslutely amazing. band he has behind him.
Cons: Not actually a con, but this album is slower musically then previous albums.
Summary: The title of this review isn't anything fancy.. because I honestly believe this album sells itself. Its a great follow up to Around the Fur.. and no disapointments here.
Lyrically.. and musically they have expanded their horizons. Less ... read more

Pros: a nearly perfect album
Cons: a nearly perfect album
Summary: Deftones formed around 1993 in Sacramento, CA. It is the combination of diverse talents : Chino Moreno (vocals), Stephen Carpenter (guitars), Chi Cheng (bass) and Abe Cunningham (Drums). By having a look to their names, it could seem that the band ... read more

Pros: The sound of Chino's voice
Cons: Chino is the only vocalist
Summary: Well, of course I'm mostly going to write good things about Deftones because they're my favorite band. First of all, they're not like most rock/alternative bands that you have to look inside for the lyrics because on the cd all you hear is screaming. Not ... read more

Pros: melodic rock, Manard from tool is a guest vocalist
Cons: I can't think of any
Summary: I am not one who is easily sold on a lot of the new breed of music were one takes old melodic punk and combines it with west coast hard core, but the first time a friend let me listen to the Def Tones I was hooked. This album is no exception. The tone ... read more

Pros: Possibly the best album I've ever heard.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Summary: I think that any Deftone fan like me can't argue that this is their best album ever. Every song is filled with some sort of emotion. Digital Bath my second favorite song by them tells an odd story while Passenger tells a story of a girl who takes a man ... read more

Pros: A masterpiece
Cons: Not getting back to school on the version i bought
Summary: Though thier sound is a lot different from their previous albums. It is a lot more mellow but fits Chino's voice a lot better. He actually sings now instead of rapping and it works a lot better.
Anyways, this is one of my favorite albums of all ... read more

Pros: 11 tracks of excellence.
Cons: None.
Summary: Ponied Up
This album is fantastic! I bought it at the local Best Buy a little over a year ago without knowing much about the Deftones. All I knew of them then was from their song from The Matrix Soundtrack and their hit song from ... read more

Pros: Great sounds that almost mesmerize the listener; some mentionable lyrics.
Cons: Since buying and becoming a first-time fan, I've noticed that Deftones aren't great live...
Summary: While I am a self professed first-time fan ("white pony" is the only Deftones I own), the Deftones measure up to the cut. Their most recent album "white pony" satisfies the listener (namely a new listener like myself), but longtime listeners might be ... read more

Pros: Chino's great voice, variety of styles
Cons: none what so ever
Summary: First of all Chino has got the coolest voice there is. This album has so many great songs. People who like rap/rock would like this. People who like heavy metal will like this album. The album starts off with a song called Feiticeira. This song is a ... read more

Pros: Chino, Delgado, MJK, and about everything else
Cons: A couple "below their average for the CD" tracks
Summary: Here's the story:
I start listening to rock music at around the end of 1999. I listen to the radio a lot, being to stingy to spend my money on CDs and not having the money to buy the CD-RW drive I have now. Around the middle of 2000, the stations ... read more

Pros: Deftones
Cons: Little mellower than normal
Summary: The first thing you'll notice when you listen to this cd if you're a Deftones fan is that it is a lot mellower than their previous efforts. White Pony is their most mature sounding record today. If you liked Hum's "Downward is Heavenward" this cd is ... read more

Pros: -ummm....decent drummer???
Cons: -no real heavy metal songs
-lyrics make no sense
Summary: I bought this album because it won the Grammy for "Best Heavy Metal", me being a diehard heavy metal fan. I bought it, but I was appalled by the non-metalness of this album. It should be alternative not metal. Most of the songs have a soft, relaxed mood ... read more

Pros: Evoloution for the Sacto Quintet into much more than what their peers have become.
Cons: Three different versions of the same album.
Summary: The Deftones have come a long way since their 1995 debut of "Adrenaline", helping to pioneer the rap/rock hybrid that became the thing to do in the late nineties. While bands like Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and Linkin Park continue to pound out ... read more

Pros: Chino Moreno's amazing vocal range,
Album wasn't rushed by deadline pressure
Cons: Deep and personal lyrics hard to interpret
Summary: From what i've noticed in the four years of being a dedicated fan, The Deftones have never been the type of group to be influenced by the likes of media or deadline pressure. It would just be a total contradiction of who they are and what they are ... read more
