More Info:
Released in 1997, Deftones’ sophomore album Around the Fur serves as the definitive bridge between the raw aggression of their debut, Adrenaline, and the atmospheric nuance of their later work. This record established the band’s signature sonic juxtaposition: Stephen Carpenter’s crushing, drop-tuned riffs and Abe Cunningham’s snare-heavy grooves colliding with Chino Moreno’s dynamic vocal shifts between intimate, shoegaze-tinged croons and visceral screams. Powered by landmark alternative metal anthems like "My Own Summer (Shove It)" and the sprawling, emotive "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)," the album achieved platinum status, broadened the scope of late-’90s heavy rock, and permanently separated Deftones from their contemporary nu-metal peers.
