Deftones unleashed their breakthrough second album Around the Fur in 1997, solidifying their position as innovators in the alternative metal scene with a sound that balanced crushing heaviness with atmospheric beauty. This 180g black vinyl pressing captures the Sacramento band's evolution from their raw debut into a more refined yet equally intense sonic exploration. The album showcased Chino Moreno's distinctive vocal approach, seamlessly shifting between whispered melodies and powerful screams, while the band's rhythm section laid down grooves that were both punishing and hypnotic. The record demonstrates Deftones' unique ability to blend aggression with ethereal textures, creating a template that would influence countless bands in the years to come. Standout tracks include the explosive "My Own Summer (Shove It)," the brooding "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)," and the crushing "Around the Fur," each highlighting the band's mastery of dynamic contrasts and emotional depth. Stephen Carpenter's seven-string guitar work and the locked-in rhythm section of Chi Cheng and Abe Cunningham created a foundation that allowed Moreno's vocals to soar over walls of sound. This 180g pressing delivers the album's powerful low-end frequencies and intricate guitar textures with impressive clarity and weight. The heavyweight vinyl format enhances the listening experience by providing the dynamic range necessary to appreciate both the album's quieter atmospheric moments and its explosive heavy passages.
This heavyweight vinyl edition perfectly captures the sonic intensity and atmospheric depth that made Deftones pioneers of alternative metal.
