Many have imitated them, but few have reached their heights. They were innovators of so-called nu metal and could easily have settled into complacency riding the wave they helped create. Instead they continue to make waves with their self-titled fourth album. | | Deftones frontman Chino Moreno wastes no time in expressing his despair mere seconds into "Hexagram" with a blood-curdling scream that will make your skin crawl. The dense, down-tuned guitars of Stephen Carpenter form a solid backdrop for the vocals that's more about creating a mood than a melody ("When Girls Telephone Boys"). Ironically one of the album's most intense moments ("Lucky You") doesn't even involve guitar, it relies on Nine Inch Nails-type rhythm and keyboards to create an uncomfortable tension. DEFTONES winds down with the loud-soft-loud pattern they're famous for on "Moana." |

- 4 stars out of 5 - "...This is metal that crushes, then soothes; collapses, then soars..."Spin (7/03, p.105)
- "...With DEFTONES, they've built a cathedral of suffering, filled to the rafters with agony, awe, and terror..." - Grade: B CMJ (6/2/03, p.6)
- "...These compositions are messy and contained, quiet and loud, aggressive and vulnerable--often within a single breath..." |
