A very talented band out of Cali that NO
one can compare to. This band has made
their own distict sound that no other band has. Chino Morenos vocals are so
unique. He Uses his voice in so many ways, that he makes the listener
engaged into what he's saying. The lyrics can mean anything to anybody and that's the shit. Best songs are Hexagram, Bored, 7 words, Be quiet and drive and much more. I got
all 4 cds, and I MUST SAY I GOTMY ,MONEYS WORTH!!!!
The Deftones mix their music up with
some hard, heavy stuff and tone it down
some nice alternative sound.
