AnthonyHApr 25, 2004This album is one of the greatest albums every created. The songs catch you in every direction and anyone who gives this album least then a 9, doesn't know music.

JasonEOct 25, 2003The Deftones have come a long way since their days of Adrenaline. This new album is the best showcase of the Deftones capablities as a band yet. The music, lyrics, and even vocals have developed greatly and it shows. Deftones would get a 10 if it weren't for one or two songs that just seem to be pointless. Great job though!

MattDJun 3, 2003It's the Deftones, so of course I love it, but it's just not quite as good as Around The Fur or White Pony.

MarcWAug 24, 2003I really disliked this album. Other than 'Minerva' this album just seemed to lack direction. The songs never seemed to go anywhere and they seemed a little confused. Compared to the previous 3 albums, this was a disappointment.

chuckyoOct 22, 2003I hated this record. Why are all these people talking about how innovative it is?? It's just the same old crap (screaming, simple guitars) that's all over the radio these days. White Pony was MUCH better. At least it didn't sound like the exact same song being played ten times in a row like this CD.

RexVNov 2, 2007It's really creative, but not as WHITE PONY ( a masterpiece).

EdJun 26, 2003This album is White Pony.2 and i love it because it`s like this guys have perfectioned the style they presented us with their last album, i truly believe that with Lucky You i've heard what teenager was meant to be a greater song it`s mellow and yet it has a sense of evil and Deathblow is this disc Change i can`t get enough of this song. What can i say i love this album

DeFtOnEs_FaN1Mar 8, 2005Nothing went wrong here. Deftones have captured what we in modern society call "music". Nobody can play better than them and who knows, their next album might be even a touch higher than the best!

Feb 20, 2012The Deftones most underrated album, partly due to the bands lack of innovation in the release but also because it had the difficult task of following on from White Pony. 'Needles and Pins', 'Minerva' and 'Hexagram' keep the consistency on an album which struggles to reach the heights of its predecessor.
-
May 10, 2013Not the best Deftones album, BUT, it sure is amazing. The more you go through and listen to the whole thing the more you like it. When I first listened to it I had mixed reactions myself. Than I went back and listened to it multiple times and fell in love with it. I'm edging for the score of a 10 because it really is something else for Deftones.

Aug 12, 2013Don't know why Pitchfork disliked this so much. While it doesn't quite live up to the rest of their catalog (except Adrenaline), this still has some absolute gems on it. Good Morning Beautiful and When Girls Telephone Boys are both exceptional.
-
Nov 26, 2012This album is heavier but production is weak and the album is inconsistent. Their worst album, because it follows one of their best and is simply not up to their standards.

Sep 24, 2015an 8+ average user rating may not warrant the "underrated" identification but nonetheless it's a sublime album that builds on White Pony's experimental and dark themes.

Oct 26, 2013Definitely the most epic record by Deftones. So much emotion in every single vocal line, powerful riffs and of course the mind-blowingly atmospheric, almost divine harmonies they create. Hexagram as an opener is just outta this world, and Good Morning Beautiful Bloody Cape convince with their simplicity and power. Also, very slick sound with a touch of raw. I love it.

Apr 18, 2016Up there with Deftones' very best. It's got this amazing balance of heavy riffs and gorgeous melodies. Chino's vocal performance is outstanding (those screams on "Hexagram" are almost inhuman) and always moves you with how it flows superbly throughout every track.

Jan 18, 2022Great Album !
Hardcore Type Bangers like „Bloody Cape“ and Shoegaze like Soundscapes like Minerva ,making this record a Perfect represantation of the Deftones-Sound.
The raw mix creating a great sound of anger and frustration! Perfect!! -
Jul 4, 2022This record has a much darker tone to it compared to previous Deftones records, and it works. Standout tracks are Hexagram, Minerva, Battle-Axe, Bloody Cape, and When Girls Telephone Boys.
Awards & Rankings
-
A modern, commercially-viable, carefully crafted rock record that also sounds violent, deranged and desperately, incurably sad all at the same time.
-
Deftones sticks a little too close to familiar territory this time around.

Alternative PressAfter four very similar albums, they seem to be in danger of painting themselves into a corner. [Jun 2003, p.93]
