punk rock is the only music I actively cringe listening to

They aren't punk?

They cool

Not really. They're like the metal equivalent of Green Day to me.

Speak to me truthfully fren, does Green Day really have any songs that are as artistically fulfilling as tracks like Rx Queen or Change? I understand poo-pooing on Deftones because of the scene they rose to popularity in, but they are without doubt head and shoulders above their contemporaries for me.

Ehhhhh Deftones, like Green Day, are "fine" to me, both have some songs I might consider okay, and Deftones by definition of being "metal" and not "punk" have more depth right off the bat and I like them a whole lot more. That being said, it's kind of the same kind of thing...like it's a safer version of something else. If I want 90's aggro mosh pit metal I'd much prefer Pantera, which makes Deftones seem like a pop group in comparison.

As a Pantera fan, I see what you're getting at. But I think that comparison isn't terribly fair - so much of Deftones' music is this layered, almost shoegaze stylized music with frequently sensual vocals. I think they did a great job feeling original and not derivative, hitting a good niche in their genre.

Deftones were never "aggro mosh pit metal"

>wants to listen to 90s aggro mosh pit metal
>decides to listen to deftones instead of 90s aggro mosh pit metal
that's on you

Then maybe you'll like Deftones

This is accurate

I can tell I hate them just by looking at them.

Great band with a very consistent discography
They peaked in the 00s, their material released in that decade is good enough to claim that they’re one of the greatest bands of that decade

Diamond Eyes is their best album.

Is it def tones or deft ones?

>Metal equivalent to Green Day
I never would've compared Deftones to them or any pop punk band really.
I think they're pretty great. Have lots of love for their first three albums for being good roots for nu-metal, but without ever getting too campy. White Pony in particular is pretty impressive sonically. Even their arguably weaker albums like Koi and self-titled have some good songs, at least to my ear.
>Deftones were never "aggro mosh pit metal"
The closest they ever got to something agro and fast would probably be "Engine No. " just off the top of my head.

pronounced deaf tones

Fanboy kys

ya boy out lol

>Do you like Deftones
>Yeah I like them
>Wtf fanboy
Fuck off, he didn't say anything out of reason

deftones are based

Sex to Deftones is otherworldly.

What songs are your favorite for the moment? RX Queen will never be beaten for me.

Gonna be a bit basic and go with Digital Bath. Or just anything else off of their White Pony album.

>I want 90's aggro mosh pit metal
so why were you listening to deftones?

Then what are they?

metal
