The Radiohead of Metal: Deftone's Around The Fur No Filler Music Podcast

    • Music Commentary

Eager to ditch the nu-metal label, Deftones headed into the studio with a goal to separate themselves from the pack on their second album Around the Fur. This ambition saw the group embrace their non-metal influences, leaning on the cerebral and ethereal qualities of bands like Depeche Mode. This combined with Chino Moreno's unusual vocals gave Around the Fur it's signature loud-soft dynamic, perhaps earning the band it's reputation as "the metal band it's okay for non-metal fans to like."
Tracklist

Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It)

Deftones - Lhabia

Deftones - Mascara

Deftones - Dai the Flu

Deftones - Damone

Deftones - Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
