The Deftones created an incredibly emotive and artistically relevant record with this, their self titled release, as though they were re-inventing what Deftones were. It sounds blissed out, willingly obscure and unforgiving with it's hard bite at times. it is one of my favorite albums of the 00s. It can also be seen as a brilliant alternative of Loveless.…Expand
After White Pony it doesn't seem like Deftones could do anything better ... and they didn't (at least not with the self-titled album), BUTAfter White Pony it doesn't seem like Deftones could do anything better ... and they didn't (at least not with the self-titled album), BUT they didn't need to. All they needed to do is create an album just as good or at least close to it and that is what they did. Various ups and downs during this album. Raw and emotional just like White Pony, but a little more polished , which, unfortunately, in the long run may seem boring after playing this album on repeat for the 100th time, but eventually you'll come back for more (especially for songs like Minerva, Hexagram and Good Morning Beautiful, though I don't like to point out something specific, because they are all great).…Expand

This album sounds more progressive and slow-flowing than White Pony, and for the last reason, a bit less epic. Most part of songs are incredible, another songs are just goods , at the most, dispensable. Nevertheless, this play shows several musical moments, varying between heavy and calm moments. Great album, although fails.…Expand
I hated this record. Why are all these people talking about how innovative it is?? It's just the same old crap (screaming, simple I hated this record.
