Now tell me, what is it that people like most about the Deftones? Could it be the passion, or the intricate lyrics. Who knows, maybe it is that and something else... Something where you have to let the music take control of your soul, and just let the words flow through one ear and out the other. "Just to get the chance to endeavor any word spoken, is a chance to a new beginning." That was just something I heard some quote at one of the Deftones concerts I had been too about a year ago.
The first Deftones album as most people recall as being Adrenaline blew us literally out of our chairs. With many memorable tracks and songs such as 7 words, Minus Blindfold, and Bored. In the process, something was about to take place, unlike we had ever experienced before. Deftones road to fame was a very painful, but rewarding at the same time. They came through stronger than ever with their second album release in the year of 1997 with Around the Fur. Yes, the Deftones are back, after the release White Pony a fourth album is indefinently on the way.
The lead on this album which is Around the Fur is presented as the following:
Abe- Drums Chi- Bass Chino- Lead Voice Stef- Guitar
Such a simple line-up, but that really does not mean a thing. Think about it deeply, what capacity can we put on how far music ability can reach? It is truly something you never could put a measure on.
What you will find on the album Around the Fur is a little bit of everything. You will be able to taste the different musical variations that come along with the package deal. So this time the theme is "variety" and the Deftones have got it down.
The first released single called My Own Summer (shove it) is one of the highlight songs off this particular album. As you can easily guess, it is the first track off the album Around the Fur. Starting off with steady guitar riffs, and steady drums and backup on bass. Then going on into the next segment with the chorus. "I think God is moving its tongue there are no crowds in the streets, and no sun in my summer, the shade is a tool a device a savior."
The second released single called Be quiet and drive (far away) which can be easily found on selected track six. A little different from the other songs on the album, this song is all about individuality, and freedom. Something we all need sometimes in our lives. "This town don't feel mine I'm fast to get away far, I dressed you in her clothes, now drive me far away." Certainly an anthem to the people that want a little bit more "freedom" which is something that we all deserve to grab a hold of sanity, and stay with it.
Mascara, no it is more of a song that is more important than the tube of mascara you tossed out this morning. Get hipnotized, get sucked into what you want, for she is the girl you lost, the girl you want. Slow guitar and low bass and steady drums, the flow of this song is perfect to make the mood set. "I feel soon I will sink into you, what do you think' because there is still blood in your hair, and I've got the bruise of the year, but there is something about her long shady eyes."
The following was just a little of preview of what can be fully experienced on the Around the Fur album. This is the total lineup:
1) My own summer (shove it) 2) Ihabia 3) Mascara 4) Around the Fur 5) Rickets 6) Be quiet and drive (far away) 7) Lotion 8) Dai the flu 9) Headup 10) MX
So this is the wrap-up as we know it. Around the Fur is one of the best Deftones albums, as all of the albums are. You will find unlimited creativity and distinctive individuality in the Deftones second Album release. An album that you will be able to treasure and listen to as the years come over.

I really like the Deftones, but wasn't so sure I would like the latest album as I think they are going more commercial lately, but your op has really helped me decide - maybe I'll borrow it from the library :) Thanks!
