The Deftones have already established themselves nationally as one of the hardest and most powerful new bands to arrive in years; now they return with their much-anticipated 2nd album, a furious, hard-hitting blast of confrontational sound. As with their debut album, the band collaborated in the studio with producer Terry Date (White Zombie, Pantera). Featured tracks: "My Own Summer (Shove It)," "Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)" and "Around the Fur."

Deftones were unstoppable even before White Pony.
Around the Fur was released during Deftones' nu metal days before they delivered their avant-garde opus White Pony and were still sinking their feet into the alternative metal scene. This album may not be their best but it's still an all around fantastic album with intense guitar melodies and raw production. Chino Moreno's vocals are some of the best in metal, ranging from eerie whispers to tortured melodic singing to head splitting screaming. As soon as the drums and the guitars burst through on 'My Own Summer', this album just grips you and excites you with ten tracks of nu metal brilliance. A powerful record from one of the best metal bands ever and a must own.

Their second best album
A pinnacle of their carrier coming in a close second only to White Pony of course. This album is raw as it gets. Chinos voice so emotion filled on the likes of Mascara and so energetic on Shove it.
