Deftones - Deftones [20th Anniversary Edition]

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the self-titled fourth studio album from Deftones returns in a stunning Limited Ruby Red vinyl pressing. Originally released in 2003, this record stands as one of the most "visceral and eclectic" entries in the band's discography. Moving further away from the traditional confines of metal, the album explores a "moody and textured" landscape, balancing "crushing, sludge-heavy riffs" with some of the most "soaring and soulful" melodies of Chino Moreno’s career.

Produced by long-time collaborator Terry Date, the album features the "stunningly unique" lead single "Minerva"—a track that redefined the "shoegaze-metal" sound—and the "abrasive and urgent" opener "Hexagram." From the "trippy, trip-hop-influenced" textures of "Lucky You" to the "jagged and confrontational" energy of "When Girls Telephone Boys," this self-titled masterwork captures a band at their most "unfettered and fearless." On ruby red wax, the album's "high-contrast and atmospheric" spirit is perfectly preserved in high fidelity.
