My First Time Listening to Adrenaline by Deftones | My Reaction

[@TSTEMP9]

Reason why you aren’t hearing as many sound effects in this album is because keyboardist/turntablist Frank Delgado wasn’t in the band yet. He joined in on the Around the fur album and he’s responsible for the synths and ethereal type effects you hear a lot more in white pony and later albums.

[@pushpauseandwave]

while not an official member of the band at the time, Frank did contribute to 2 tracks on this album "Minus Blindfold" and "Fireal"

[@itschavez115]

​@@pushpauseandwave Yess!!! You are right Frank Participate in every single album, just in adrenaline is not credited, and actually didn't tour with them until 1996.

[@robertoclemente7066]

This was recorded live, so less room to add stuff later. I love this record because of it, makes it even more visceral! I cant wait for you to listen to their 4th record, Self titled. To me, its Deftones in a nutshell. Even tho they were dealing with a lot of internal problems (divorces, heavy drug usage, etc), its a beautiful piece of art. Its cover summarizes it pretty well.

[@mollyesanborn]

Didn't know it was recorded live, makes sense why this album has a different, almost acoustic sound to it.

[@CaptainDugog]

@@pushpauseandwave yup the scratching on minus blindfold is really interesting.

[@brendanmalley326]

Your Deftones videos, are making me fall back in love with them. Almost like I'm reliving discovering them for the first time, years later.

That's awesome, glad you enjoyed the video!

To be real??? She made me re-fall in love with the Deftones, particularly White Pony. That's our shit.

[@mollyesanborn]

This makes me so happy to hear! Deftones are fantastic and I can't believe how quickly they've become one of my all time favorite bands.

[@utax22]

Just wait until you listen to more Tool 😉 but Deftones are also amazing 🙌

[@Chris24_]

IMO Lifter is probably the most underrated Deftones song in their entire discography

[@mollyesanborn]

Such a good track!

[@la213blanco]

One Weak is also, thee most underrated Deftones song. Like ever

[@weedo3]

My favorite track on the album

[@el_one7711]

It was always my favorite Track in Adrenaline with Birthmark a close second.

[@barackobama6105]

Fireal is my favorite one from adrenaline but it is hella underrated

[@stef1651]

Around the Fur and White Pony are definitely more mature, but Adrenaline is so pure! It's super raw and in your face, it's just great ^^ Bored is the perfect opener to an album like this and one of my favourite Deftones songs ever, but to me the most interesting tracks on Adrenaline are Fireal and Fist: they sound like the guys were already trying to create the sound that you heard in ATF and White Pony, they were already experimenting and trying to do something different from the rest of the album, as you noticed ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed this one as well, and I'm looking forward to the next reaction ^^

[@KkevinNBB]

This was the first Deftones album I listened to before going balls deep into their other albums and it completely blew me away by its greatness. Your analysis is on point with how bare and skeletal the songs sound compared to their later work, but it’s still raw and energetic. Cheers!

[@mattnoonan6519]

1 week was an absolute banger. I used to jam Firreal in my lowered Honda Civic with 3 10s in the trunk. That song was my neighbors favorite song, they just didn’t know it. 😂

[@defsoul210]

Appreciate you doing this! Its super genuine and honest. I can tell your a true fan of this wonderful band. I enjoy watching you discover these classic albums. I remember when I first heard adrenaline, it blew my mind. Same with their other albums. Respect to you and your channel you gained a sub! Good job! Wait till you get to DIAMOND EYES!!!

[@NehemiahRyan]

Every Deftones album is different from the others. They all have very different feels to them, but they are all still recognizably Deftones. There's something cool about hearing their progression chronologically, and that's how many Deftones fans experienced their albums. I've been a fan since finding them in 2000 and it's been awesome see what each new album has been like since they do progress further on each album. But It's also cool to listen in random order to really see the major differences. Either way you do it, you will thoroughly enjoy the rest of their stuff. There are a few more masterpieces coming up for you.

[@Agostoic]

So many classics on this one, nosebleed, root, birthmark, engine n9, gotta love those riffs! Although it's a more restrained sounding album there's definitely their trademark dynamics on display.

Thanks for not overlooking Adrenaline! As a fan since the beginning, I still feel that tracks five through nine on adrenaline are the best portion of any album. The ending of birthmark is one of my favorite parts of any Deftones song. I can rewind over and over and listen to that last 45 seconds. Really looking forward to see which album you decide to review next.

[@TheWretchedMammoth]

Your Deftones reviews have become a highlight for me. Awesome to see you go through these albums, can't wait for you to do [Self Titled] that ones my favorite. Live, Engine no. 9 is a BANGER, the call and response between Chino & the audience is/was powerful.

[@erickflores9154]

Great job with my favorite band .. you just get them ...I love that !!

[@Lightning_Alert]

Love your reactions! It’s great to see folks discovering this wonderful band and enjoying them as I have all these years! Deftones have a compilation album called “covers” where they play other artist’s songs. That might be a fun one you you to check out!

[@hiphopanonymous24]

Hey love your reactions. Deftones are my favorite band and I always love seeing new people get into them. Imo I think you should go in order from the self titled on because of the way the way they grow so much between every album there. Also their original bassist Chi is only on the self titled, and the follow up to that, Saturday Night wrist. He unfortunately was in a car accident after that which left him in coma for a couple years until he passed away. Their next album Diamond Eyes was a tribute to him, and just a really big comeback for the band, as there was a lot of turmoil between the band mates during the the previous couple albums.

[@miserirken]

3:18 as Chino knows how to rap very good, he's also really good at spoken word, something he and Chi Cheng (their bassist) were into a lot.

[@mikaeldolk2083]

Molly I love the way you hold the microphone, very professionall. Wow when this album came out I was 25 years old and living in Guatemala. I remember hearing it at the University with my friend Caco ((where are you)). We got blown away, forget KoRn. Now I live in Sweden and have 3 guitars and 1 bass tuned to Deftones, my favorite band. Cheers with alcohol-free

[@8JFJK8]

You should react to Loathes album “I let it in and it took everything”. They are like a modern metal version of Deftones and the album got very high praise.

[@cannotwaittoseedavanteadam4301]

Maybe you could go in order to see their progression as a band. I say that despite really wanting you to check out Diamond Eyes which is my favorite album but it’s their 6th studio album. The self titled album and Saturday Night Wrist are the 4th and 5th studio albums before Diamond Eyes.

[@junkyardwillie8320]

This album, although a bit unrefined and unpolished, it’s still one of my favorites. Deftones in their growing stages. Personally, I would suggest you do their self titled album next, maybe work your way up from white pony, but I’d be happy to see wherever you plan to go in their discography

[@mrddcass6540]

My favorite deftones album for sure.

[@bigcountry92184]

Definitely check out their album "Saturday Night Wrist". It was created at a time when the band was about to fall apart due to drug use and other things, but it is a beautiful work of art. You won't regret checking it out.

[@rootchino]

Great channel, just found your reactions and going to start at the beginning and go through all the Deftones albums. Just FYI the last track is called 'Fist' not First. The reason it sounds so different is it's produced by Ross Robinson while the rest of Adrenaline is produced by Terry Date who has worked with Deftones on a ton of their albums.

[@mollyesanborn]

Interesting, I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoy the Deftones series, I've officially become a fan now haha!

[@deckofcards87]

YES, your description of White Pony sounding like it's recorded in a warehouse and Andrenaline sounding really "contained" is super on-point. This one sounds literally like a garage band jamming out to me, and I love that about it. By the way Molly have you heard Korn's 1994 debut album? I'm curious what you would think of them, lol. They were notably the first band to fuse metal with hip hop grooves, and Jonathan Davis is a very interesting, albeit very emotionally damaged frontman, but likeable. CHINO features on their second album as well, doing a cover of Ice-Cube's "Wicked"

[@mollyesanborn]

That's what I love about Adrenaline too, that jam session vibe to it. Really raw energy! I haven't heard Korn, aside from maybe a random track here or there. I will have to check out their music!

[@concertino58]

Awesome review! I love the fact that you went from White Pony to the beginning. You were able to hear the progress, but reversed. I honestly think you should now start from the album AFTER White Pony that is called "Deftones" or S/T. Since you've already heard OHMS, now you can hear their progress from their 4th album to their 9th album (if you're up for the challenge). IF you do happen to start with S/T, I would recommend watching this video that I am going to link; it was a promotional video/dvd that record stores had around to promote their 4th album and it would be cool for you to see how they grew from Adrenaline - White Pony. It's a short 15 minute video. It ends with a performance of the first track from S/T. Then you can move onto listening to the album from there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ6rpWeFn6eVnM0

I was 16 when I found this band. And I fell I love immediately upon hearing bored. “Root” was one of the first songs I sat down and learned on guitar. Still come back to the beginning riff when I’m noodling around. Such a classic riff. This album and around the fur is a huge part of my high school soundtrack (along with “freak show” by silverchair and “self titled”/“life is peachy”/follow the leader” by korn). The late 90’s were an awesome time for music……and terrible I.e. creed. 🤢🤮 I’d love to see you do silverchair from “frogstomp” to “young modern”. That is a band that evolved to the point you can’t tell they’re the same band on their last album.
