The album cover always kept me guessing as to what it was until I got the internet at some point in the late 90's and finally looked it up; a baby aspirator. Rather anticlimactic but the music this album presented has not stopped playing in over 10 years. I remember taking the DC metro in 1997 to see them play with Glassjaw at the Capital Ballroom (now known as Nation) to support their "Around The Fur" album. This album is still considered nu-metal by many, alternative rock, alternative metal-- whatever that means. It's got a sweet sweep-up of rock, metal, melody, aggression, screamed and sung vocals. The piccolo snare used by Abe Cunningham wasn't something I was used to hearing and bugged me for a long while but became a standout feature of the band. The ballads at the end of the record were some of the first I actually liked, and are still to me very beautifully written songs. This sound is lost forever as I lost interest in this band after "White Pony," and no other band could duplicate them (and many, many, many have tried because of how simple most of the Deftones' songs were). Most people might say "Around The Fur" is hands-down their best effort, but I have an attachment to this album above the three I like. I got this as a Christmas present from my aunt Joan during 6th grade, around when she also bought me the live Nirvana album, "From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah." I still have and listen to the Deftones CD.
