DEFTONES FANS, Y'ALL HAPPY NOW? All 9 albums ranked worst to best, in my biased opinion. of course.
Drop your list in the comments, please LIKE this video and share it out with another Deftones fan!
@Yvan F. Flores yes!!
@@ARTV- I know it may seem late but do you plan on doing a throwback on White Pony, since the Black Stallion version dropped nearly 4 months ago?
I want to play! First got into Deftones around 1998. That's why it blows my mind how, imo, they peaked a full 10 years later...
1) Koi No Yokan, Diamond Eyes, Saturday Night Wrist ( 3 way tie for #1...the holy trinity of their output )
2) White Pony
3) Around the Fur
4) Self-Titled, Gore, Ohms ( another 3 way tie. and despite being below 5 albums...these 3 albums are still _excellent_ )
5) Adrenaline ( the one and only Deftones album I genuinely dislike )
It's crazy to see how far they advanced after their debut. Most bands peak with their first or second album.
But to me, they peaked on albums 5, 6, and 7. When does _that_ happen to a band??
For me, I think it was the heavy influence of diverse genres....trip-hop, new-wave, shoegaze, dream-pop....that made their mid-career output so interesting and creative to me.
Personally, I would have put their 2003 self titled album in the bottom spot. A 1 track album IMPO. But Minerva is my absolute morning 🌅 jam.
Is Saturday Night Wrist a masturbation reference?
There’s no such thing as a bad album when it comes to Deftones.
Exactly
Adrenaline is a bit rubbish
Gore
@C u n t e r Tv no and no
@C u n t e r Tv i agree on Gore, Ohms is fucking sick
Deftones seriously have some of the coolest song titles
And album titles tbh
@@ARTV- and album covers tbh
@@hollapeenyo109 And lyrical backgrounds tbh
They really do. Chino's song titles are always super interesting to me....in a way I can't quite put my finger on.
Also...I noticed something recently that cracked me up. Stay with me here....
The song titles from Lorde's debut album Pure Heroine sound SUPER Deftones-y. Consider the following.....
400 Lux, Ribs, White Teeth Teens, Tennis Court, Royals, Glory and Gore, Team. See what I mean? Surely I'm not the only one who sees it lol. Also, that album is legit excellent.
pure aesthetic
Honestly I have a hard time ranking their albums. It literally depends on my mood.
True!
So true, but I guess White Pony will always be at top (Passenger ❤, Knife Party, Digital Bath, ok, could list all the songs😂😇).
yea this, if you want ACTUAL metal you'd go for their earlier on albums but smth chill and calm .. definitely their more recent albums.
Saturday Night Wrist gets so unfairly overlooked, it's honestly my favourite record by them. It's incredibly immersive, winding, and songs like Cherry Waves are so dreamy. Even the risks they took with this record, like on Pink Cellphone for example, are captivating even if they don't hit the right spots for every listener. Big up every Deftones record though, been listening since Diamond Eyes and for a band that's over 30 years old now, they've got an incredible hit rate.
It's my favorite as well. From heavy tunes like rats!rats!rats! to something soft like Xerces. It's GOLD
Let's not forget about Passenger live with Hayley Williams. She was probably very nervous cause Deftones is one of her favourite bands :)))))
Recently saw that on youtube. Never really been a Paramore fan but she has a kickass voice!
Around The Fur is my personal favourite. That thing changed the way I think about rock music.
Saturday Night Wrist will forever be my favourite from them. The dynamics throughout are incredible.
Nice! I love seeing SNW get love. And you're right about how dynamic it is....it's very eclectic. No one sound.
For me, SNW, KNY, and DE are all tied for first place.
I find it funny, and confusing, how the band themselves seem lukewarm on SNW.
To me, it's the first album where they really leaned heavily into their shoegaze/dream-pop influence. I also love how _diverse_ the tracks are. Diamond Eyes is super cohesive and punchy. Koi is united by a gauzy hazy noir vibe throughout.
But SNW is all over the place in terms of genre. And I genuinely love that about it....
@@avedic Well said! That's pretty accurate about this album being their most experimental and atmospheric. Perhaps they're a little lukewarm about it at times because of it being such a turbulent era for the band? I remember reading a lot about the personal and interpersonal struggles they had at the time, maybe it coloured the creation experience in a bit of a negative way for them. Either way, that turbulent creation process spawned a masterpiece of an album in my opinion.
I’m so happy you gave love to goon squad. Really underrated song.
One of the most consistent bands ever, it’s one of the hardest discographies to rank for me. For now I’d go:
9. Gore
8. Adrenaline
7. Ohms
6. Self-titled
5. Saturday Night Wrist
4. Koi No Yokan
3. Around the Fur
2. Diamond Eyes
1. White Pony
Mine list is almost identical but your last four are a little different than my list.
1. White Pony
2. Diamond Eyes
3. Around The Fur
4. Koi No Yokan
5. Saturday Night Wrist
6. Adrenaline
7. Self-titled
8. Ohms
9. Gore
@@Inferno41498 This is it for me too!
@@sophiafortyfour Yeah I need to keep listening to Ohms cause that album isn’t doing it for me right now and the same for Gore. But the rest of there albums I fucking love!
@@Inferno41498 let it grow on you, Ohms is one of their most thematically & sonically dense works yet, Terry Date really brings out the best in them. I actually remember people having a very similar reaction to White Pony when it came out
@@hollapeenyo109 what are you talking about? White Pony was the most commercially successful / viable album they ever made. It's what threw them into the mainstream consciousness, and went platinum / top 5 on the charts.
Deftones are one of those bands that don’t have a universally agreed best album. Sure White Pony and Diamond Eyes are the most common picks but I’ve heard people say Gore, self titled, Saturday Night Wrist. That’s the sign of a good band.
White Pony is the best and it isn’t even close
@@johnolmos8670 it comes in at number 7 for me, it’s all just personal taste. But they’re all excellent.
YES!!! Its been so long since you have made a Ranked episode. I especially cannot wait for this.
Hype! Hope you dug it
@@ARTV- I just finished it and yes I dug it. Especially since my favorite album from them is your number one pick as well.
I started listening to them recently. White Pony and Around the Fur are amazing!
WP is a freaking masterpiece
I almost spit out my milk when I saw diamond eyes at 6 but then i remembered that its deftones, so you could easily change all of the top 6's positions around and it would still be a good list.
Average milk enjoyer
Every Deftones fan - "Saturday Night Wrist is their worst.....well, wait a minute, I kind of like it a lot more now...So Gore is their worst....hold on, I forgot about this cool thing they did here, I'm into it now. So Adrenaline is their worst...man I forgot how heavy and raw this album was... "
Dead serious 😭
Saturday night wrist is definitely my favorite. I love it alot.
One of the best and most consistent bands in music. Here is my list:
9. Gore
8. Adrenaline
7. Ohms
6. Self-titled
5. Around the Fur
4. Saturday Night Wrist
3. Koi No Yokan
2. White Pony
1. Diamond Eyes
Chino looks like how each album sounds in each clip lol
Lol I agree. I think that’s bc he’s showing clips of concerts from the tours of each album he’s talking about.
Very well done. This band does not miss. Ranking these albums is virtually impossible when every album is 9/10 - 10/10. Around The Fur is the greatest Nu - Metal album of all time, while White Pony is up there with the greatest albums of all time.
Thank you! You're so right about that
Adrenaline
Around the fur
White pony
It's crazy how much opinions vary with this band, because this is mine:
9 Saturday Night Wrist
8 Gore
7 Adrenaline
6 Deftones
5 Koi No Yokan
4 Ohms
3 Around The Fur
2 Diamond Eyes
1 White Pony
I should mention that I think they haven't released a bad album in their career. None of my list is based off of "what's the worst" as much as it was "what do I love less"
Damn this is a solid ranking. Your top 6 are exactly like mine
Everything same as mine exept i would switch saturday night wrist with adrenaline
An incredible band with an incredible work. My ranking is:
09. Gore
08. Adrenaline
07. Deftones
06. Ohms
05. Around the Fur
04. Koi No Yokan
03. White Pony
02. Diamond Eyes
01. Saturday Night Wrist
always good to see SNW getting the love it deserves
Nice! I also love seeing SNW get love.
For me, SNW, KNY, and DE are all tied for first place.
I find it funny, and confusing, how the band themselves seem lukewarm on SNW.
To me, it's the first album where they really leaned heavily into their shoegaze/dream-pop influence. I also love how _diverse_ the tracks are. Diamond Eyes is super cohesive and punchy. Koi is united by a gauzy hazy noir vibe throughout.
But SNW is all over the place in terms of genre. And I genuinely love that about it....
SNW really makes me feel something that i can't really describe.. i love it
Holy shit! Mine is the exact ranking ✨
SNW is an interesting number 1. I guess it makes sense that everyone's ranking is so different because every album has it's own style and hits each person differently.
I hope you do one for Tool next.
Gore is so underrated :c
is a good experience
Even as the lesser of the bunch, it's still a great album.
I'm not a huge fan of it, but Phantom Bride is what got me into Deftones in the first place back in 2019.
heart/wires is soooo good
Like many, I've come around on Gore big time....it's objective excellent.
And 3 of it's tracks are among my favorite Deftones songs of all time.
But also.......music aside, Gore is hands down my favorite Deftones ALBUM COVER. So cool and iconic and somehow so Deftones...
I as well have become warmer to it with years, but I Cant agree with it being a "Great" album, as imo it has either too many banalities or cornball moments to be considered as such.
Love Deftones, fingers crossed I get to see them this year
Love some of the hot takes on there (not sure all fans would put KNY that high, bit I'm all for it). I've got a hot take myself: Saturday Night Wrist is my second favorite Deftones album after White Pony, it has my two favorite Deftones songs on it (cherry waves and beware) and I think pink cellphone is a good song!
Saturday Night Wrist used to be at the bottom of my list. However, after reacquainting myself with the album recently, I’ve discovered an album that’s rich and nuanced, equally hard and beautiful. Top three for me these days.
For me? Gore's surprisingly high for me too.
No clue why honestly and a lot of people would disagree, but man. Gore and Koi No Yokan just s l a p.
Nice! I also love seeing SNW get love.
For me, SNW, KNY, and DE are all tied for first place.

My mom had White Pony and would play in the car a lot. So she turned me onto Deftones among others.
Is she single? 😉
@@sutho5719 No, happily married & about to retire.
As deftones are one of my favorite bands, this ranking is good. For me 6 through 1 are very interchangeable, I love all of those albums so much. Ohms was amazing and I hope they keep the consistency.
We appreciate the time you put into this and I also didn’t expect their newest to be that high.
Cant wait to see how that Chevelle one goes considering their heavily influenced by deftones and are also very consistent 😬
This dude has really good taste. I don't have the same rankings, but totally agree with your rationale.
Appreciate that!
I love the self titled album, especially Bloody Cape. "God help me, god!!!"
Yup my top 3rd probably... a must have
One of my fave bands ever, my list would be
1. White Pony
2. Around the fur
3. Diamond eyes
4. Koi no yokan
5. Self titled
6. Ohms
7. Gore
8. Adrenaline
9. Saturday night wrist, still a great album, Kimdracula is one of my fave songs.
Love all their albums really and they haven't made a bad one, Also Chinos side projects are pretty good too, like Palms, Team sleep and crosses
Kimdracula and u,u,d,d,l,r,l,r,a,b,start,select are my 2 favorite deftones songs, however koi no yokan is my favorite album by them.
@masterchefmarshall it's en excellent album for sure, Rosemary is one of my favourite songs ever.
@dimebag505 yeah it's a very solid song!
Mines gotta be
9. Gore
8. Adrenaline (I fucking love birthmark so much)
7. SNW
6. Around the Fur (there are so many good fucking songs on here, it’s just not my favorite deftones sound that they honed in later, so that’s why it’s unusually low)
5. Self titled (has such a dark feel and it’s sludgier in the best ways possible, I know this is a hella divisive one but I love it.)
4. Ohms
3. White Pony
2. Diamond Eyes
And number one is fuckin Koi No Yokon. I know it’s super divisive. I’ve seen a handful of people out it at the bottom of their list, but Rosemary and Tempest perfectly describe why I love it. The Drop E 8 string riffs used while there’s this beautiful ethereal feeling, hands down franks best album and plus even the heavier parts kill it, Poltergeist slaps
This might be the same as my list. KNY has their best songs: poltergeist, goon squad, swerve city, and Entombed.
@@BloodnightStudios hard agree. I remember I didn’t listen to it for a little bit because some online publication ranked it as the worst Deftones record and I had a lot to go through when starting out, but I cannot fathom thinking it’s the worst let alone one of their best
Great video! Was excited for this as a long time viewer with Deftones as my favorite band of all time. Love how smooth you are with your words in this video too :) keep it up ❤️
Thank you so much!
Welp, now I know what I'm listening to at work all day today.
Saturday Night Wrist is actually one of my favorite albums!
Gore's my favorite Deftones album. I know that's a controversial opinion but the more metal side of them does it for me, and how the record almost goes down a post-metal lane just makes me happy
*EDIT*: And the fact that some of it gives me Deafheaven vibes also does it for me
My favorite is Koi no yokan so yeah
@@camillaquelladegliaggettiv4303 Koi No Yokan is HIGH up there. To me it's essentially just a more realized SNW
PINK CELLPHONE IS A MASTERPIECE
And you're entitled to that (wrong) opinion
Lol, jk. Can't agree at all though personally.
As a deftones fan, it’s not
This was posted April 1st.
All the germs, and the poop, and the butt fucking residue.
Nice vid! It's incredible how great they still are and how diverse they have always been. Main reason why they are my favorite of all-time!
It's amazing how early Deftones fans will still try and prove how awful their later albums are, but it's mainly because they just want another White Pony. As fantastic as that record is, you can't just NOT appreciate the rest of their work. Hopefully I'll finally be able to see Deftones live with Gojira and Poppy this summer.
Here's my ranking:
9. Adrenaline
8. Self-titled
7. Saturday Night Wrist
6. Around the Fur
5. Gore
4. Ohms
3. Diamond Eyes
2. Koi No Yokan
1. White Pony
Gojira and Deftones are easily two of my favorite bands, and Poppy has me stoked for her next material with Eat, so I fuckin' hope we get to see 'em tour this summer! 🤘
I been a fan since 95 . Saw the adrenaline tour live . But I think since Diamond eyes they have made their 3 best albums .
"Ohms" it's a perfect album.
Facts
My Ranking
9: Gore
8: Saturday Night Wrist
7: Ohms
6: Koi No Yokan
5: Deftones
4: Diamond Eyes
3: White Pony
2: White Pony
1: Adrenaline
White Pony and Adrenaline can switch spots at any point in time though.
Great video! My list is quite similar although it's hard to pick a #1 between white pony, koi no yokan, ohms, around the fur and diamond eyes.
Please do a ranking on sunny day real estate’s albums they’re so underrated
For me, they’re the only band I can say that has helped me through everything.
I think around the fur is their first perfect album
Can’t agree more with your ranking! None of my friends listen to the deftones so these videos make me geek out a lot and I really like it! 😂 Thank you for the review!
Excellent vid! I love that you have Koi and Ohms up there near the top
This is how I would rank em!
1. Diamond Eyes
2. White Pony
3. Ohms
4. Koi No Yokan
5. Around The Fur
6. Gore (unpopular Opinion I know but I love this album because it’s so different and it was the first Deftones album I ever bought and I come back to it a lot!)
7. Self-titled
8. Adrenaline
9. Saturday Night Wrist
I don’t think they have a bad album in their catalog I just come back to some albums more than others! 🤘🏻 Hopfully able to see them live for the first time this year 🤞🏻
1. White Pony
2. Koi No Yokan
3. Diamond Eyes
4. Ohms
5. Adrenaline
6. Saturday Night Wrist
7. Around The Fur
8. Self-Titled
9. Gore
I love this band so damn much.
1. Saturday Night Wrist
2. Self-titled
3. Around the Fur
4. Adrenaline
5. White Pony
These are only the ones that I’ve given a very fair listen to. White Pony is weird for me... I like 3 or 4 songs a lot and think the rest of the album is filler
You should do a Yellowcard Ranked next, I'm interested to hear your thoughts on their first two albums.
Solid list! I can understand why it took you so long. Totally agree that they have no bad albums, you’re already batting 1,000 with Deftones lol definitely my favorite band of all time. Alright this might be the the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but here’s my list:
9. Adrenaline // I adore this album but the only reason I put it last is due to less of a balance of aggression & softer parts but I think it’s appropriate in context anyway // fav tracks: “Nosebleed”, “Fireal”, “7 Words”
8. Gore // Honestly it was hard for me to put this near the bottom bc I’ve listened to it millions of times and I personally think it’s perfection (like all of them lol) but I can’t stand how much hate this record gets. It gets better every time I listen to it. // fav tracks: “Phantom Bride”, “Acid Hologram”, “Rubicon”, “Prayers/Triangles”, “Doomed User”, “Gore”
7. Ohms // This album blew the high expectations I already had out of the water. The only reason it’s at 7 is because of the comparative impact the other albums have had on me. // fav tracks: “Pompeji”, “Radiant City”, “Headless”, “Ceremony”
6. Around The Fur // You’re right. Best nu-metal album ever. Arguably their heaviest as well, even with the intensity of the quieter moments // fav tracks: “Mascara”, “Lhabia”, “Be Quiet and Drive”, “Headup”
5. Diamond Eyes // What a masterpiece. This album is also one of the sexiest things I’ve ever heard lol // fav tracks: “You’ve Seen the Butcher”, “CMND/CNTRL”, “Sextape”, “Rocket Skates”, “Diamond Eyes”
4. Koi No Yokan // I’ve been sober ofc but also tripped on multiple different substances while listening to this record and it’s an entirely new adventure each time. The last song also has a very special place in my heart for personal reasons // fav tracks: “What Happened to You?”, “Entombed”, “Goon Squad”, “Rosemary”, “Romantic Dreams”
3. White Pony // some people may crucify me for putting this in 3rd but I love how Deftones fans are almost all so different. This is the album that originally got me into them but songs like “Digital Bath” for real changed my life and the way I look at music // fav tracks: “Digital Bath”, “Knife Party”, “RX Queen”, “Change”, “Korea”
2. Saturday Night Wrist // this album got me through some very fucked up times. The aggression and darkness of this album sucked me into a void of warmth. I believe Chino once said that it’s “evil music” and I would have to agree, in the best way lol I also like Pink Cellphone tbh, I think its hilarious and I like Annie Hardy as a person a lot. Also I have to disagree about Mein, that guitar/drum work is incredibly inspiring to me // fav tracks: “Rats Rats Rats”, “Cherry Waves”, “Rapture”, “Rivière”, “Mein”, “Beware”
1. Self Titled // Idk if there’s many people who have this opinion but very few albums have impacted me as much as this one, I appreciate the love you gave to it. Minerva is actually that song that got me into them as well which is interesting to me. Hexagram is one of the best songs ever written imo, and the first few songs in succession (especially Needles and Pine) just fucking floor me. Also that ending of Bloody Cape... holy shit my face is permanent disfigured from melting lol // fav tracks: “Hexagram”, “Needles and Pins”, “Minerva”, “When Girls Telephone Boys”, “Bloody Cape”, “Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event”
This list could change around based on my mood but this is how I feel atm lol the top 3 will probably never change though
Great job!
For me
9. Ohms (this is literally the only album i dont have songs that i love)
8. Gore (Hearts/Wires, Prayers/Triangles, Phantom Bride are absolutely amazing... the rest not so much)
7. Adrenaline (Engine No.9, Bored, Fist, 7 Words are so memorable, the rest is just pretty good but brings back great memories.)
6. Self Titled (Half the tracks are amazing, half are a little grating)
5. Saturday Night Wrist (Its nearly perfect only a few songs miss the mark.)
4. Koi No Yokan (Absolutely brilliant, atmospheric and pushing the envelope of the deftones genre. Experimental and brooding. Nearly Perfect Album.)
3. Around the Fur (Perfect from first song to the last, no song skipping on this album)
2. White Pony (Literally one the best albums of all time, start to finish perfect album, except the added single Back to School of course. It was ahead of it time, experimental and elegant.)
1. Diamond Eyes (I play this album on road trips simply so i know for 41 minutes i dont even need to touch my phone. Its just that damn good, headbanging and ballads that bring you to outer space. This album gets it.
Hey what's the song you used at 1:43 for Gore?
Thanks for this video, you really found the right words!
I just can't make up my list, it's nearly impossible as nearly all of their albums are outstanding. much love!
How convenient, I just listened through White Pony for the first time last week! Now I know what to be excited for in the future.
However, thanks to Rocked and Crash doing a Deftones tier list, I was surprised to see Diamond Eyes so low! (Sextape is absolute gold!!!)
Risk, beauty school, you’ve seen the butcher, and rocket skates rank among my favorites of their discography.
@@islandrebelmakeup4653 I just heard the whole album a few months ago, and I couldn't agree more! I'd also include 976-Evil and This Place Is Death.
There truly isn't a bad Deftones album and it took me a while to say that it just has some low points compared to others!
For me, my ranking goes
9. Gore
8. Adrenaline
7. Self titled
6. SNW
5. Around the Fur
4. Ohms
3. Koi No Yokan
2. White Pony
1. Diamond Eyes
You got it right there, bud. I agree with this list.
Fantastic video!!! Favourite band of all time, bought adrenaline when came out in 95, I’m 40 now, and totally agree, no bad albums.
Wicked dude, I’m the same age and had Adrenaline back in 95...couldn’t believe how hard ATF hit when that came out!
Great video as always Jon, any chance we might see a Biffy Clyro RANKED anytime soon? Maybe even a Top 10 too?
Omg!!! Love them! Another incredible band that not many people seem familiar!
whats going on in your version of Hexagram? is that like a demo or something?
That’s live
Anyone know what version of Hole in the Earth plays at 5:30? It doesn't sound like the studio version, I'm really curious !
Edit: nvm, pretty sure it's the live performance from chi's benefit concert !
That's it!
Nice list, self titled is one of my favs (if it wasnt easy to tell) so I would have it in the top tiers but hey it's nice to see some recognition since people often drop it pretty low
What’s the song used for Koi No Yokan?
That's "Swerve City" the opening song on the album!
dude i fucking love deftones, thank you so much for covering them. could you do a nine inch nails worst to best soon?
Eh, idk about NIN. Given all the instrumental albums and stuff...I might just do a Top 10 songs or something instead
@@ARTV- we are still waiting for Tool and Fiona Apple Worst to Best :)))))
@@user-gg3ez5vj9d I hinted at which one might next if you care to look at the chat replay at the very end ;)
@@ARTV- oh yeah, Tool Ranked, can't wait for it :)))))
My ranking
Adrenaline
Self-titled
Gore
Around the Fur
SNW
Ohms
Diamond Eyes
Koi No Yokan
White Pony
But really any rank is acceptable because they're just that damn consistent.
I agree 100%
I appreciate Koi No Yokan being so up high cause this one is my favorite.
GREAT Review! I disagree with your ranking of GORE (7 for me)
but your list! Would definitely appreciate a breakdown of 311 or Chevelle for instance in this fashion!
Very good review! I managed to grab Adrenaline back in 95, loved Around the Fur, but they lost me with Change, cause it just ‘wasn’t metal enough’ for me, and I missed out on White Pony (?!?!?). I got turned back on to them back 2010 and can appreciate every album now - they have the perfect song, or full album, for whatever mood you’re in. They can damn near craft any mood with their music. Pretty phenomenal stuff. Weird thing to say, but Korea is still one of the heaviest songs I’ve ever heard, and Elite. Fantastic band.
just getting into deftones now and this is helpful
Thanks for this! Have listened to 5 albums so far and White Pony has been played more than 20 times now. :D
1. Saturday Night Wrist
2. White Pony
3. Around the Fur
4. Koi No Yokan
5. Ohms
6. Diamond Eyes
7. Deftones
8. Adrenaline
9. Gore
Man you nailed the top 3. Got into them with White Pony, moved to KNY (narrowly) being my favorite, and stuck around to see the release of Ohms which was so fitting for its time of release. Gotta agree with Gore being a sore(er) spot, but Prayers/Triangles is such a great opener/mood setter still.
Pretty accurate actually although I would of put Adrenaline higher just because it was my introduction and the only era unfortunately that I saw them live opening for Pantera and another being at the 1st or 2nd Warp tour good video overall 👏
Around the Fur is def my fav album by them and my fav album of all time. It just invokes a really specific feeling when I listen to it it’s unmatched by anything else I’ve ever heard.
Nice vid!!
It's hard to find a band with so many great albums!!
I had to take my time on this one:
1-White Pony
2-Saturday Night Wrist
3-Diamond Eyes
4-Deftones-Deftones
5-Ohms
6-Adrenaline
7-Arround the Fur
8-Koi no Yokan
9-Gore
I'm waiting to see you rank Yellowcard albums! My third favorite pop punk band of all time!
What are the first two?
@@camillaquelladegliaggettiv4303 Where We Stand and One for the Kids.
i respect this list. Id personally switch a few but this is well thought out
Appreciate that!
Wow, I'm very aligned with your tastes here. They're my favorite band, been a fan since 2000, and I'd swap Around the Fur with Ohms, but that's about it.
Nice!!!
We were pretty close until #6 :P
1. White Pony (2000) - An easy front to back listen, I NEVER get tired of it. Why is it so good?! How?!
2. Diamond Eyes (2010) - …Juicy. That’s the only description it needs.
3. Koi No Yokan (2012) - This is a severely underrated album. I’m calling it a tie with Diamond Eyes.
3. Deftones [self-titled] (2003) - I think everyone forgets how good this album is. And it holds a special place in my 🖤 because it was the first vinyl record I ever purchased.
5. Around the Fur (1997) - So much angst. The signature Deftones sound. Headup is one of my favorite songs of all time.
6. Ohms (2020) - I suspect this one might creep up higher on the list as time goes on.
7. Saturday Night Wrist (2006) - This one seems to be every new Deftones fan’s favorite album…it was mine at one point too. It’s a nice chill, atmospheric intro to Deftones.
8. Adrenaline (1995) - This album makes me feel like I can blast through walls like the Kool Aid man. Perfect title.
9. Gore (2016) - Only last because something has to be. Contains many bangers, just not quite as sexy as the others.
Dude you nailed it completely. I've been obsessed with this band since '02 or so and you just said what I can't stop thinking. I make a top 10 for my favorite bands but Deftones is an always interchangeable 30. And the love for Goon Squad - holy shit thank you. That's a personal anthem of mine. Anyway, fuck yeah.
headless is my fav on ohms so it’s cool to see it grew on you
You could rank them in any order and I wouldn't be slightly mad.
Solid list, man. I would have swapped Saturday Night Wrist with Koi No Yokan. But it's all aces no matter where the cards fall.
Always liked songs like Change and Diamond eyes but I recently picked up Ohms and am now a fan something incredible about that album
1. White Pony
2. Ohms
3. Diamond Eyes
4. Koi No Yokan
5. Deftones
6. Around the Fur
7. Saturday Night Wrist
8. Gore
9. Adrenaline
Awesome vid!! Next, While She Sleeps! They are coming up with a new album in the next month. Or maybe ADTR. after that VERY dissapointing album.
does anyone know what song is at 5:34 ?
It’s hole in the earth from Saturday night wrist
This makes me happy 😁
Funny how we had a similar experience with the band. Minerva was my first foray with Deftones and My Own Summer was one of my first dives into heavy metal (thanks to limewire). Still, our lists are completely different, albeit difficult to make.
9. Adrenaline
8. Saturday Night Wrist
7. White Pony
6. Around the Fur
5. Ohms
4. Diamond Eyes
3. Gore
2. Deftones
1. Koi No Yokan
Here's mine:
9. Koi No Yokan (This one just didn't click with me except for a couple songs)
8. Gore
7. Saturday Night Wrist (I think people dismiss it because of Pink Cellphone but there's some gems in there)
6. Adrenaline (Them at their most nu metal but I dig the raw 90s production)
5. Diamond Eyes
4. Ohms (one of my top albums of last year)
3. S/T (It's great but man is it a grower)
2. Around the Fur
1. White Pony (One of the best albums of Y2K, alongside Hybrid Theory, Relationship of Command, MMLP and Warning)
I always liked the intro, then I just realized it's the Swimming Pools bassline
Im surprised diamond eyes isn’t farther up, it’s such a great record
My favorite Deftones album/song changes with my mood. For the longest time, White Pony was my favorite album. Then, I listened to Saturday Night Wrist a bit more and that took over as my favorite (still might be). Koi No Yokan blew me away. Ohms took a bit longer for me to warm up to, but now I'm obsessed with it. But all their work is amazing. So, in a way, my favorite album by the Deftones is whichever album I'm currently listening to.
Great band and a hard discography to rank they're all good albums. My top3 would be interchangeable:
9. Gore
8. Saturday Night Wrist
7. Koi No Yokan
6. Adrenaline
5. Ohms
4. Diamond Eyes
3. Around The Fur
2. White Pony
1. Self-titled
Finally some self titled love! Have a similar ranking to yours with gore and snw being the worst for me. Adrenaline in my top 4 (atf, adrenaline, wp, st) diamond eyes in 5th, ohms and kny interchanchable to me for 6th/7th
@@michaelmignone5869 I don't know why the self-titled album doesn't get as much love as some of their other albums. It's a great album.
This is my personal list, ❤️
1. Adrenaline
2. Deftones (self titled)
3. Around the fur
4. White pony
5. Diamond eyes
6. Koi no yokan
7. Gore
8. Saturday night wrist
9. Ohms
Saturday night wrist is really not that bad, but for me most of the songs remind me of my lowest point, so i dont listen to the songs that often, and i had to mention that since people are talking about how people keep throwing shit at the album.
I agree with this list. The only change I’d make would be to move Diamond Eyes up to #1 and that’s it. For me, that is hands down my favorite album.
This video came out at the perfect time as I am just getting into deftones!!!!! Anyone have any song recommendations from them??
Well, yes, all of them. Lol it’s better if you go ahead & listen to their albums in full
I would say it all depends on what you enjoy from music as a whole. If you’re into heavier/more hardcore music, check out their first 3-4 albums. If you’re into more experimental or atmospheric music, I’d check out their albums post self titled. The albums that made me a Deftones fan were White Pony, Diamond Eyes, and Self Titled so maybe start there but like I said it really depends on the music you enjoy. If you’re looking for specific songs (1-4 could vary from every album) than I’d give Engine No. 9, Be Quiet And Drive, Knife Prty, Digital Bath, Battle Axe, Needles And Pins, Xerces, Cherry Waves, You’ve Seen The Butcher, Sextape, Rosemary, Gauze, Entombed, Phantom Bride, Prayers/Triangles, Hearts/Wires, Ceremony, The Spell Of Mathematics, Radiant City, and finally Ohms. Sorry for the long paragraph in response to your question lmao. Thanks for reading it as well, if you did of course (I don’t blame you if you didn’t).
I love how everyone in these comments isn't arguing about which album is clearly best, instead they're sharing their own list and saying there isn't a bad Deftones album. Wholesome.
