Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2021 20th Anniversary Edition, With Two Double LPs Housed In A Deluxe Box Set, Including Booklet. Made In Canada. "Vaulting From Genre Favorites To The Big Leagues, Californian Alt-metal Outfit Deftones Went From Being The Cool Kid's Nu-metal Band Of Choice To A Mainstream Force With Their Seminal Third Album, White Pony. Taking Steps Away From The Hip-hop Swagger, Rote Riffs, And Unpolished Youthfulness Of Their Early Work, The Band Delved Into Their Sonic Toy Chest, Experimenting With Atmosphere And Effects, Tightening Their Songcraft, And Boosting Chino Moreno's Pure Singing Vocals. The Result Was An Artistic Breakthrough, One That Not Only Signaled A New Direction For The Band But Also -- For Better Or Worse -- Cemented Itself As Arguably Their Finest Work. The Album's Unnerving Collision Of Sensuality And Danger Climaxes On The Cinematic Epic "Passenger," A Bone-chilling Duet With Tool's Maynard James Keenan That Finds Both Frontmen At Peak Performance. Hearing The Group Evolve From 1997's Unhinged "Headup" To Something Like The Sparse, Electronic Ballad "Teenager" Is A Wonder And, In Hindsight, It Was Clear That Things Would Never Be The Same Again For Deftones. Having Tamed The Beast, They Emerged Even More Potent And Powerful, Embarking On A Course To Become Boundary-pushing Artists And Survivors Of The Nu-metal Era." Review By Neil Z. Yeung.
