**💭 Thoughts:** Deftones’ fourth studio album, self-titled, takes a darker turn, becoming the darkest in their entire discography while still utilizing the new sound they developed throughout their highly acclaimed third-album, *White Pony*. I love this album, and it’s easily in my top 5 from Deftones, however the only reason it’s not my favorite is because *White Pony* and *Around the Fur* have more memorability in their entirety. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)
