I don't think Deftones became Deftones until White Pony, the first two are good, but sound like a garage band in comparison to their massive, layered sound from WP onwards.

It's weird that you say Diamond Eyes is simplistic and lacks depth while also heaping praise upon its follow-up, which was a retread with a fresh coat of paint but half as many hooks and/or memorable riffs. Gore and Ohms continue that sort of aimless streak they've been on. I don't hate any of it, but man I want them to blow my mind again.

Oh, right. I forgot. You're pretty infamous for that.

this is pretty much where i stand, but i probably would have said the same thing for DE or maybe even Koi (i say "maybe even" because even though i love it i could see how some of the more "knuckle-headed" fans would not quite click with it)

Ohms is like the band returning home after a decade-long journey, reuniting with their beloved old producer & just making that sweet, sweet music :stan:

Top Tier:

Self Titled
Saturday Night Wrist (even though it features that dickbag from soad)
Koi No Yokan

Excellent but not quite as magical:

White Pony

-

Hashed out in a week with the odd excellent moment:

Gore
Ohms

-

Disney:

Diamond Eyes.

First two not included as they may as well be by a different band.

That is objective, my furry friends.
