They were already in imperious form: their two previous albums. Chino’s vocals are warm, rich, and clear, and Stephen’s guitar really slices through each track- all supported by Abe’s punchy drumming and Chengs present basswork (really nice to be able to hear and feel the bass in these recordings! *cough* gore *cough*) Terry Date’s production work is great too, and in 2020 it was a nice return to form with his contribution on Ohms. The new millennium was less than a week old when Deftones decamped to a Hollywood mansion to begin work on their third album. Almost not surface noise present here, and the sound is amazing and dynamic. The record was pressed nice and flat, and the labels are really pretty in white (no idea why they changed from the original color, but ce la vie). As for Deftones its harder to say as its been awhile since their last album (which was by far their weakest.) White Pony is still a fantastic record though.
Was lucky enough to score a copy for $25 on here recently, and boy was it worth it. Korn have gone innovative originals in 1994, to gross charicatures today, to the point where they are not only not good, but actually very very bad.
