[@jordanjoestar8839]

Fun fact about the 'almost too intimate' album cover. The photographer was at a house party and randomly snapped it over a hot tub in passing. If I remember correctly it took them forever to even find the girl later on in life.

[@Xeroforte]

It was taken at a house party the band was at during recording. Didn't take them long at all to find her since she was THERE.

[@hheinous]

It does give creepy vibes that they took the pic without permission, esp considering she apparently told him to back off afterwards, but they asked for her permission before using it for the cover and she said yes. she also apparently doesn’t mind it nowadays and actually embraces it! i suppose it’s always good to find the silver lining of an uncomfortable situation

[@tylerp3327]

Rick Kosick, crew member of Jackass took the photo. At this time he was shooting for Big Brother Magazine, known for its adult and controversial content.

[@miserirken]

>If I remember correctly it took them forever to even find the girl later on in life. iirc it was like this just for the fans, as the band asked for the proper permission to use the photo and all that. In the other hand, some fans were really obsessed about that cover and were trying to find the girl on it.

[@silentxwxlf]

This album is unforgettable, it may be simplistic but i feel like its great because its not entirely nu metal, it has tracks like mascara and be quiet and drive. The instrumental simplicity allows for chino to go wild which is awesome because his vocal style is so uniquely satisfying.

[@amuro9624]

This album is like the shoto or main character of nu metal. Not too crazy or original but appeals to most people.

[@SOBEKCrocodileGod]

Deftones is like shoegaze mixed with nu metal…..nu-gaze.

[@silentxwxlf]

@@SOBEKCrocodileGod ive been thinking nu-gaze for a while now, i see someone thinks the same way lol

[@calebashford1686]

Yeah. Around the Fur was the album where you can see this band is going to just get better and almost overtime, molded a style of music that almost is it's own genre

[@silentxwxlf]

@@calebashford1686 very true, they kind of refined the “metalgaze” sound in and after this album and by the mid 2000s they basically ditched the entire nu metal scene and kind of transcended into their own style of metal-shoegaze and its really satisfying to see

[@thedogfromraditude5449]

I’m glad you liked this one! It’s one of the few good albums from this bizarre era of metal, and it really stands out in the infinite sea of Limp Bizkits. Deftones are my third favorite band behind Weezer and Radiohead, and ATF is at least in my top 5. This and their debut are the only Deftones albums that can be classified as “nü metal,” everything else is more experimental and veers closer to post-metal and metalgaze (a real genre and it’s great), occasionally sludge. If you liked this, you’ll probably like the rest of their stuff even more.

[@HitlerGaymes123]

Same to me, its the most heavy riff of the album.

[@iaminyourwalls4553]

Deftones are amazing at doing different genres without it sounding clunky or disjointed. Coincidence that one of the few good nu metal bands isn’t entirely nu metal ?

[@nu-metalfan2654]

@I Am In Your Walls. A lot of people compare Deftones to Tool, and I think the reason why is because they both do something similar. Tool basically took the Grunge sound as a core base but wanted to do their own thing with that sound and added a Prog spin to Grunge. Where Deftones took that Nu/Alt Metal core sound but wanted to add their own thing with that sound, and they added a few sounds on top like Trip Hop, Post Hardcore, and Shoegaze to that core Nu/Alt Metal base sound.

[@Maialeen]

It isn't entirely nu metal? It was barely nu metal at some point and now not at all.

[@calebashford1686]

@@Maialeen True. I hate labels for these reasons. I know grunge is a movement, but I feel Alice in Chains separated from the pack. Yeah, they were grunge but Layne Staley's voice has so much expansion and variety to it, composed beautifully with Jerry's writing and guitar. Bass was subtle yet added so much. The composing and taking advantage of Layne's unworldly vocals. It wasn't something you labeled. Facelift still gives me chills by how far ahead they were. I know grunge isn't necessarily about sound as it was being a movement but I still think it to be kind of insulting.

[@calebashford1686]

@@Maialeen Pandora on Deftones radio was always associated with bands that were common due to association almost alone. Get Tool, Korn, SOAD, I know it's also because they're common to related music interests but Deftones radio is not going to come close to a related station. Unless maybe you get Tool's Undertow with a mix of some around the Fur but even that's kind of stretching it.

[@kakikutya7912]

90% of the good nu metal bands absolutely despise getting called nu metal and they shifted away from that sound after 1 or 2 albums (slipknot, korn, soad, deftones)

[@MattbroFTW]

You gotta give Loathe's album "I Let It In And It Took Everything" a go!! It's super Deftones-y but with heaps of incredible genre-blending. One of modern metal's absolute standouts right now!

[@buddybeas5237]

Such a fantastic album from start to finish. Is It Really You is actually my favorite song ever (the Sleep Token cover is absolutely worth a listen if you haven't). Speaking of, I feel like Sleep Token is another that hits those Deftones feels a ton, especially on the their most recent album. Gods by Sleep Token is basically just Goon Squad by Deftones. Telomeres by Sleep Token is very similar to Sextape by Deftones too. Basically if you like Loathe and Deftones, Sleep Token is probably gonna fit right in too.

[@howefan4650]

Since you're doing the 00s nu metal-ish scene, I have to recommend you Korn: Self-titled. It's THE progenitor of the entire nu metal genre, and it honestly holds up well, imo. Plus I want your reaction to Daddy.

[@MultiUnreal]

That album is basically just a whiny meth head crying over trash can drum beats. Garbage.

[@numburger]

The album cover hits so freaking hard. The contrast between what would otherwise be attractive- a woman's body- with an unflattering (unless you like that, idk) top down angle of her face is so cool. It really fits with the theme of Around the Fur meaning something so beautiful can be just as unsavory

[@parkerirish]

Went to the Nashville deftones concert it was absolutely incredible the band’s energy is insane live plus Gojira was a great opener

[@pez.3117]

They did the same thing in LA back in April! Such a great experience and gojira was awesome as well

[@natebox4550]

I did the same but in Colorado, the thing is. I didn’t like the deftones at the time, and went mostly for gojira. But gojira has grown on me so much, maybe I just don’t like them live? Or maybe I wasn’t ready for it. Either way me and my dad(may he rest) loved gojira at that the show.

If you like Deftones and Tool, it would be worth checking out Chevelle.

Hats Off to the Bull is probably the best conglomerate of their sound, but La Gargola is my favorite.

This wouldn’t have been the Deftones album I’d introduce somebody too. It’s quite good but the more experimental and melodic sound they developed on subsequent albums is a lot better imo. The album id introduce people too would be White Pony. That album basically does what they experimented with on Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) and takes it to the next level.

[@supersus3229]

I'd probably go with Diamond eyes, its catchy & more accessible, may be easier to digest their sound that way for new listeners. My first was the self titled album, I was only 10, but it was the weirdest & darkest album I'd ever heard, despite being a huge Slipknot & Korn fan already, then I deep dived & they became my favorite band ever since lol

[@bisexualmajima]

Nah this _would_ be the one I'd choose, it's relatively accessible and serves well to help further appreciate them adding those experimental layers and melodic sounds in the future while still being an amazing album and not as forgettable as Adrenaline. I was someone who listened to White Pony first when I was a young teenager and I didn't like it at all, came back to Deftones years later after hearing My Own Summer (and then checked out the rest of Around the Fur) and loved them, and I've seen a fair few other people that White Pony just does not click with as a first foray into Deftones.

[@omgvague]

Nah this is the perfect album. Its the one I was introduced to.

[@dh1380]

Yet it captures the whole dark wasted party mood perfectly.

I remember buying this album in 1998 and I was Blown away by it's sound compared to the heavier stuff I was listening too

[@djdivile]

Was not glad about SeeYouSpaceCowboy catching strays but this album is amazing lol

[@Feverm00n]

I’m new here, was the random Seven Years clip before SeeYouSpaceCowboy an inside joke cause I was real confused lol

[@ZvedeENG]

[@galleryofrogues]

Rick Kosick who worked with the Jackass crew randomly took the cover photo at some party and they liked it so much they used it

[@NotBigfoot]

Love these reactions to the albums I grew up with! Seeing a Korn album reaction would make my day.

[@AG-fc5tg]

2:19 I loved your take on the cover. Never thought of it that way.

[@isaacf27]

i just discovered this band as well, standing out largely in taste from the other bands from the same time

[@MrMegatron85]

i still listen to this album once a week

[@say_wat_now7297]

I'm honestly so surprised Brad hasn't heard this album or Lateralus. That blew my mind. But I'm happy we're here

[@scurvy77777]

This album is everything to me.

[@pluf8751]

Nothing like listening to a Deftones album for the first time 🫶

[@bdfromtherest8252]

Never been a more fire thumbnail ever

[@grapespace]

I haven't even watched this video yet (I'll do it after I listen to the album), but the thumbnail for this is hilarious lmao

[@southmole]

Good reaction my dude, deftones are a tier all the way .
