Purely a fantastic album. This is the album where they learn when they need to be quiet, and it pays off. This album is sonic, and heavy, and grungy. But always delicate and soothing and dark. Somehow, Deftones can mix 'dark' with 'soothing' and make it work. Personal Highlights: Change, Digital Bath, Knife Party, Passenger, RX Queen.

On "White Pony," the Deftones seamlessly integrate touches of alternative rock with the thrash-metal rage so characteristic of their earlier work. Their new sound is both beautiful and disturbing, ranging from the the gentle lullaby of "Teenager" to the nightmarish frenzy of "Knife Prty." A can't-miss album for any jaded fan of metal or hard alternative rock.

The deftones are the best!

The Deftones seem to be good at creating mooky mush metal for the semi-gothic pimple-poppin' puttyheads unwilling to give acts like Tool a listen, but is that really much of an accomplishment? There are some fair tracks on this album, and I don't mean to whiz on the band's parade, but this stuff is just too mooky for listeners like me who enjoy more complex rock and roll to enjoy fully. What you get is a package of songs pertaining to self-mutilation, knives, pulling wings off of flies, and "bleeding out of control". Linkin Park never put it better: "Nobody's Listening"... or, at least, they should be.… Expand

White pony along with around the fur are the best albums that the deftones have ever created. The deftones are truly original and white pony's lyrics are meaningful and deep. The singer has the most unique voice that draws you into a different world.

The most complete and amazing album on this planet

Excellent album, not the best Deftones album though... I think that Adrenaline is their best! Very good album though!

CLASSIC.

Heavy, soft, mad, intense.. this White Pony runs many ways, but as deep as it can into each, with astounding determination.

In love with deftones. They satisfy some complex neocortex necesities with definitive tones. :-/

In the Neo-Metal category, if we remove KoRn, they're really the greatest! It's their best album to date.

By far this is The Deftones' greatest cd. With both Chino's voice, and the chilling guitar riffs, this album cannot be topped by any other. If you dont have it, go out and buy it!

In my opinion, this album is one of the best hard rock albmus ever recorded. it can be compared to such 'monsters' as koRn's and system of a down's self titled albums...i hated it for a few weeks,but then just like somebody would shot me in the face...i fell in love with it...if you won't like it just don't listen to it for a while and when you'll put it on again,it will simply blow your head off...there are no bad songs on this album,becouse it's just perfect.… Expand

WTF?This may not be the best deftones album, but it's better than over 90% of albums today. About as good as slipknot-Iowa

This album is incredible. Some people blow the Deftones off and label them as another screaming, manufactured nu-metal band. But the true fans know that this is a completely false notion (The Deftones were around way before Korn, Limp Bizkit, and definitely that crappy pop band Linkin Park , and they actually listen to good bands like the Smiths and the Cure and the Bad Brains) This album should prove everyone of those labeling losers wrong, but some people still take one listen to this album disregard it. It is not "mooky." It has nothing about self-mutilation, and the song "Elite" does not literally have to do with "bleeding out of control." Get a good taste in music and then come back and complain.… Expand

Deftones at their finest.

Knife Prty is one of the best songs I´ve ever heard

This Record, Along with Around the Fur are the two best albums probably on this planet Earth. The lyrics mean so much and it feels you are part of their situations. You understand what they feel by their voice expressions. =)

I love the deftones, and this is far and away thier best record, measuring the rabid intensity of the first two LP's with a much more diverse sonic palatte. Unbelievably heavy, undeniably powerful. A monster of an album.

Not my favourite Deftones release, but it's fantastic all the same.

very good . the best album so far

Deftones is my favorite band ever!!!! This would be my favorite album because the beats and lyrics of the songs move in a way that I can't put it into words! ~*~ I love Deftones!~*~

truly superb, haven't heard anything better to date.

Each song on the album provides a different feel or sound which makes listening to it a much needed breath of fresh air. There are songs for just about everyone on this album. Just listen to "Change (in the House of Flies)" and you'll see what I mean.

great album!

This is a fantastic album which truly illustrates how this genre can grow and develop in such a creative way. The 'Tones have managed to retain their distinctive Nu-metal sound while going in a more thoughtful direction lyrically. A great album.

this cd is a great cd doesnt quite measure to the eccentric genious of around the fur but is still a awsome cd with gnarly riffs in change, and passenger, but is still great

This album... Its truly something. it has touched me on such an emontional level its insane. the lyrics are so deep and meaningful. im just mind blowen these guys are truly talented.

Not only is this their best album to date, but it'll be looked at one day as one of the greatest albums ever made.

I can not stop listening to this album. This was the sound I was looking for when nu-metal was insanely popular. The Deftones mixed many renowned influences while staying true to metal. This ablum will probably become more and more popular as time goes on. I wouldn't be surprised if I still hear about White Pony ten years down the road.

What a fine album this is, from beginning to end there isnt a song I didn't like, from the brutal Elite to the truly haunting Passenger. For me Passenger is the stand out track, featuring the vocals of Tool's Maynard James Keenan. Not many bands can pull off an album like this, just sheer brilliance. A great addition to the band is Mr Delgado, adds that bit of digital to the tracks.

I Wanted to give the album a 10 but sometimes the album bores me, but when i'm in the mood the album is a masterpiece with a great intro song Feticeira a Maynard James Keenan colaboration and a grammy award winning song (Elite). Also being one of the albums that has one of the deftones most succesful single (Change). It's in resume.An outstanding deftones album, but the deftones always make amazing music but this one just launched them to success. (I'M A HUGE DEFTONES FAN)… Expand
