Since their inception, the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning alternative band Deftones have quietly been pursuing two paths, delivering songs defined by churning, double-fisted aggression while also quietly testing the boundaries of music by incorporating elements of psychedelia and shoegaze. The Los Angeles Times wrote that, "Hard rock thrives on conflict and chaos, and no band has found more beauty and soaring aggression within those ingredients than Deftones." The Deftones' eponymous 2003 album served as the band's fourth full-length release overall and follow-up to their 2000 effort White Pony. Their last with producer Terry Date until 2020's Ohms, the Gold-certified 11-song set offers up a compelling mix of hard-hitting material and atmospheric numbers including the relentless "Hexagram" and the soaring hit single "Minerva." 20th anniversary colored vinyl LP reissue.
