I bought this about three years ago and didn't really give it much listening. I'm less into metal now but when I put it in my stereo a few weeks back I was very impressed. I hear it's a lot different from their last two album but I haven't heard them. It's quite similar in style to Around the Fur.
The album is dominated mainly by Stef's distinctive guitar sound and Chino's voice (and the distorted sound on it). There's not much bass to hear on the record. The drums are solid and there's are some good beats and fills thrown in. The album doesn't really change in style but it doesn't get boring either. The production is really raw and has a live sound to it.
My favourite tracks are:
Nosebleed - Great song, pretty fast for a nu-metal band. I love the end section
7 Words - Starts quietly, and builds up to a pretty frantic chorus. The bridge is the best part of this album.
Bored - A typical Deftones song, quite slow and heavy. Chino's screams later in the song are very cool indeedy.
Root - Awesome riff in this song. The bridge sounds Egyptian which is quite weird. Chino's voice goes really high as well. :D
If you don't have Around The Fur, you should definately get that. It's the best nu-metal album ever. If you have that, then this comes a pretty close second.
