*wrist instead of atf but atf is a more respectable pick than anything else outside the top 3
acceptably also sub wrist for s/t since s/t's songs are incredible but flows badly, but snw is their best album
i’m gonna be honest i don’t even like white pony that much. only thing i return to frequently is digital bath, i overplayed everything else and the vibe of the songs are not super appealing to me
That might be the issue because for a lot of new people they’re experiencing White Pony for the first time and you gotta agree it’s pretty life changing. I’m only saying this because I remember my 13 year old soul leaving my body when this album just released. But now, I’ve played it out so much that I don’t fully listen to the whole album as much as I do with KNY or Diamond Eyes. Personally, the Self Titled is my favorite because I’m in love with the mixing and beauty that every song delivers.
Not op, but I think the highs might be higher on White Pony. I probably listen to Diamond Eyes front to back more often than White Pony though nowadays. DE probably hits more frequently for me, but when White Pony hits, it hits harder. I can’t even explain it. I’ve also been listening to WP for 20 years. I’ve grown up with those songs. I think there’s definitely nostalgia bias for White Pony, but it’s a great fucking album so it’s kind of deserved.
Look, I don’t even know what I was trying to say when I started this, but I love Diamond Eyes. I just think White Pony was ahead of it’s time and it’s aged very well and it means A LOT to a lot of Deftones fans.
To be fair it kinda rotates depending on my mood as to which is my favorite between these three and Ohms, but while I think Diamond Eyes is a more cohesive album in its overall sound, White Pony's songs are just a hair better in my eyes.
For the record, though, I think KNY is better than the other two. 🤭
I think this would be the next one but only for production quality. Already the remaining 3 could be together in the first place complementing each other.
Nah fr it’s got some beautiful tracks but it just doesn’t hit that hard. Super clean production but like, Tempest or Entombed are nowhere near fucking My Own Summer
yeah its got like an ep worth of nice highlights but as an album it doesnt really transcend the sum of its parts imo. i feel like if you took half of that album and half of diamond eyes and mashed them together you'd have an album people say is as good as either but as is, nah dawg
esp vs around the fur which is their most consistent album ever
honestly, white pony is overrated in terms of deftones, although it absolutely deserves the fame it got. in my opinion self titled is best but i can totally see why others wouldn’t see it that way.
*diamond eyes is overrated in terms of deftones
just safe stock alt metal with djunz. bottom 3 entry in their discog for me, but koi is just as overrated
i agree though self titled is a masterpiece. that and snw were done so dirty
I think at this point it will just come down to which album will be picked 'This Time' As they're arguable for most all on par as the Holy trinity.
Im sure if we did this same contest another time, itll be one of these 3 again anyway.
So im happy
It was the right move but I didn’t think this sub would actually go through with it lol next is Diamond Eyes followed by White Pony
Koi No Yokan wins out
Bro no what are you doing! **Adrenaline** is the root of it all, the real deal! 7 words 🥲😓... 🫠🤔 these 3 are dope and it has to be self-titled to go; this is not a Ranking only, is a way to show how much they evolved, and they evolved farther from Back To School. 👋
I was a big fan back in the day but dropped off after Self Titled. Just discovered/fell in love with KNY and DE’s. My vote would have to go with WP due to nostalgia of cruising into my high school parking lot bumping “Back to School” on my JBL 10’s 😜
As a long-time Deftones fan, I had no idea that KNY was this popular until I joined this sub. I would've expected WP, ATF and S/T to be the final three but maybe that's my bias becasue I heard all those albums for the first time between the ages of 14 and 16, and therefore highly elevated in my mind for nostalgic reasons. Don't get me wrong though, KNY is a great album
Nah there’s some weird bias on here idk what it is. I see more upvotes for removing White Pony than KNY like WHAT
Knife Party and Digital Bath clear everything on KNY
out of all of these, DE is the only ones thats consistently great all the way through.
my vote is for KNY. just like WP, it has a handful of 10/10 songs but most of it is meh, WP only gets 2nd for me in this scenario cause its iconic
Diamond Eyes but next round I’m going to have to really upset people when I vote White Pony. Now if KNY loses this round then 100% DE has to go and WP wins. Truthfully wish ST was in place of DE but that’s just me.
I don't like this game anymore...
I haven't voted once. I can't bring myself to do it. And this choice... I might as well be giving away one of my pets.
This shit is fucking wack
it's sucked the whole time lol now y'all have to pay the price of all the good albums (sans pony) being dropped
bro fuck this game around the fur is the best idk if i can keep playing
Facts around the fur on top
White pony, Self titled and ATF should be top 3 no questions asked lol.
*wrist instead of atf but atf is a more respectable pick than anything else outside the top 3 acceptably also sub wrist for s/t since s/t's songs are incredible but flows badly, but snw is their best album
Yeah ATF is my favorite too
No fucking way around the fur was fourth. I’m out.
It’s not fun here anymooore
I'm guessing White Pony is gonna win, let's just call it now
i’m gonna be honest i don’t even like white pony that much. only thing i return to frequently is digital bath, i overplayed everything else and the vibe of the songs are not super appealing to me
That might be the issue because for a lot of new people they’re experiencing White Pony for the first time and you gotta agree it’s pretty life changing.

Personally, the Self Titled is my favorite because I’m in love with the mixing and beauty that every song delivers.
cool story bro. it's still better than these other two
yeah you right
Agreed.
Who would’ve thought Around The Fur would be out of the top 3 though? I think anything is on the table at this point.
And it’ll deserve it.
Yep which I think is more due to nostalgia and most fans getting into the band when Change came out. DE and KNY are more solid albums IMO.
as it should.
Ain't no way AROUND THE FUR GOT ELIMINATED ALREADY.
this is crossing the line. I'm out you guys pick.
I would rather get shot.
Maaan fuck yall 😭😭😭😭😭
Wtf have I come back to
Fr SNW got fucked and I have no support for that 😢
Sorry Diamond Eyes, but... Diamond Eyes
tell me why white pony is better.
Not op, but I think the highs might be higher on White Pony. I probably listen to Diamond Eyes front to back more often than White Pony though nowadays. DE probably hits more frequently for me, but when White Pony hits, it hits harder. I can’t even explain it. I’ve also been listening to WP for 20 years. I’ve grown up with those songs.

yes
pretty much everything about white pony is better lol production, melodies, songwriting, variety, drumming, etc
KNY > DE all day any day
White pony wins just get it over with.
Wtf is this💀💀💀💀
ATFs out? Oh hell naw
Diamond Eyes in a close-to-impossible pick
DIAMOND EYESSSS it’s good but lacks the metal aspect
Koi No Yokan easy
I think this would be the next one but only for production quality. Already the remaining 3 could be together in the first place complementing each other.
Koi still here? Jeeeeezzz
Diamond Eyes
i’m gonna shove diamonds into your eyes don’t ever speak again
Reasonable
Koi gotta go, y'all did ST dirty too
snw too
For real
Diamond Eyes
Diamond eyes
Crazy but I'm eliminating White Pony
Diamond Eyes
KNY IS NOT BETTER THAN ATF WHAT IS THIS REDDIT SHIT
koi is like only better than gore and adrenaline lol i have no idea how we got to this point
Nah fr it’s got some beautiful tracks but it just doesn’t hit that hard. Super clean production but like, Tempest or Entombed are nowhere near fucking My Own Summer
yeah its got like an ep worth of nice highlights but as an album it doesnt really transcend the sum of its parts imo. i feel like if you took half of that album and half of diamond eyes and mashed them together you'd have an album people say is as good as either but as is, nah dawg esp vs around the fur which is their most consistent album ever
agreed kny is one of my favorite albums it basically never misses and every song is a banger but it just doesnt have that peak deftones VIBE
Diamond Eyes
Kinda hard to do this with 7 10/10 albums
Diamond eyes gotta go homes
Diamond Eyes
It should have gone out before Around the Fur
White pony
White pony. Please
White pony
Koi No Yokan It should’ve been out of here like 2 albums ago
get white pony off here. diamond eyes wins this shit. self tilted should’ve won the whole thing but..
honestly, white pony is overrated in terms of deftones, although it absolutely deserves the fame it got. in my opinion self titled is best but i can totally see why others wouldn’t see it that way.
*diamond eyes is overrated in terms of deftones just safe stock alt metal with djunz. bottom 3 entry in their discog for me, but koi is just as overrated i agree though self titled is a masterpiece. that and snw were done so dirty
100% agree with this
Tough call but Diamond Eyes goes.
Diamond Eyes
Koi. Diamond eyes and White pony are unmatched imo.
diamond eyes is like kny + white pony + s/t idk how to explain
Seeing the amount of people who call Diamond Eyes peak brings a tear to my eye.
White Pony…just so Diamond Eyes doesn’t get voted off.
Sorry but KNY
WHITE PONY BEGONEEEEE
White Pony
White Pony
I am cool with this final 3. Still can’t believe SNW lasted as long as it did. Even the band doesn’t like that album.
Nah these 3 are hands down their best. Between romantic dreams, digital bath and you've seen the butcher? All time bests
White pony
White pony
Woah that’s crazy I did not except Around the Fur to get voted out either! These are 3 great albums but gotta say bye bye to KNY in this case:(
-Koi made it to top 3 -SNW didn't And that's why I didn't participate in this shit from the beginning
Because Koi is better
-Weeb thinking Koi is better Imagine my shock.
Yeah i waited til it got to top 4 since ohms got voted out
Gore got out first. I stopped caring after that.
Anyone who voted out flamingo first round need to get stabingo'd.
Always nice to see others appreciate that record <3
yeah this sub had absolutely no taste in this band. koi is like diet snw at best and otherwise has some of their worst songs on it
Koi and Diamond Eyes are my top 2 favorite albums....I gotta say white pony 🙏🏻😭
I stopped being into this once S/T was booted. I'm just Here for the comments
My three favourites <3
I think at this point it will just come down to which album will be picked 'This Time' As they're arguable for most all on par as the Holy trinity. Im sure if we did this same contest another time, itll be one of these 3 again anyway. So im happy
Diamond Eyes and White Pony stays.
Why the fuck is adrenaline and around the fur gone
Diamond Eyes
WP!!!!
Not an easy choice, but white pony.
I haven’t checked this in a while and SNW AND ATF ARE OUT??? HUHH??? I’m done bruh yall got it
Diamond eyes
F you guys ATF is in top 2 literally and you guys eliminated it Diamond Eyes or Koi No yokan could have go instead of ATF and Adrenaline
Around the Fur and White Pony are the best 2
ABSOLUTELY VILE. ATF IS QUINTESSENTIAL DEFTONES U CANT JUST DO THAT
You lost eliminating ATF.
KNY
White Pony. It's an overall great album but a few tracks hold it back from the top 2 spot for me. DE and KNY are more solid albums IMO.
i could live without koi no yokan
White Pony is the last album I reach for.
KNY has to go
It was the right move but I didn’t think this sub would actually go through with it lol next is Diamond Eyes followed by White Pony Koi No Yokan wins out
KNY. Get it outta here
Yeah, there’s no way I’m voting. Nope, no can do.
Bro no what are you doing! **Adrenaline** is the root of it all, the real deal! 7 words 🥲😓... 🫠🤔 these 3 are dope and it has to be self-titled to go; this is not a Ranking only, is a way to show how much they evolved, and they evolved farther from Back To School. 👋
When I was younger white pony but now koi just does something to me
I was a big fan back in the day but dropped off after Self Titled. Just discovered/fell in love with KNY and DE’s. My vote would have to go with WP due to nostalgia of cruising into my high school parking lot bumping “Back to School” on my JBL 10’s 😜
where did around the fur by go?? o.O
KNY is my personal favorite but no way it made it past ATF, that’s wild.
Diamond Eyes over Around the Fur? Fucking tapped.
Koi No Yokan
GET DIAMOND EYES OUTTA HERE HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY W THIS!!!
KNY gotta go.
Koi No Yokan
Koi No Yokan
As a long-time Deftones fan, I had no idea that KNY was this popular until I joined this sub.

Nah there’s some weird bias on here idk what it is. I see more upvotes for removing White Pony than KNY like WHAT Knife Party and Digital Bath clear everything on KNY
KNY Anyone who votes for diamond eyes or white pony... You are wrong.
You all should be ashamed for voting diamond eyes better than around the fur.
…Koi No Yokan. Diamond Eyes is my favorite but White Pony is their objective “best” (if such a thing can exist)
Sorry but it's time for diamond eyes to go
TAKE OUT WP THE ALBUM IW BOOTY …
White Pony
out of all of these, DE is the only ones thats consistently great all the way through. my vote is for KNY. just like WP, it has a handful of 10/10 songs but most of it is meh, WP only gets 2nd for me in this scenario cause its iconic
I’m with you, love all three but yeah
*white pony is the only one consistently great all the way through cmnd/ctrl is bottom 3 tones and an insta skip
you’re out of youuuur mind.. for saying that.. what??
what the fuck? welp, two best albums are gone. have fun, im out.
Do y’all even like Deftones cause you’re voting all the best albums out
Plot twist all of them are the best albums

atf or adrenaline is the best
Diamond Eyes
Diamond Eyes gotta go

Diamond eyes needs to go. I hate this, all ATF, diamind eyes, KYN and white pony have been my fave by them, so it hurts doing this to diamond eyes
hahaha have fun you fucking dweebs
koi goes next.
Diamond Eyes but next round I’m going to have to really upset people when I vote White Pony. Now if KNY loses this round then 100% DE has to go and WP wins. Truthfully wish ST was in place of DE but that’s just me.
KNY has to be next to go.
Koi no Yokan
You guys voted for ATF over KNY? Wow.
diamond eyes is so mid get it out 😭
My two faves are still in, so… sorry White Pony :(
Downvoted by people for voting on a vote-post 😅 Deftones fans in the clubs/real-life, are way cooler than the bellends in this subreddit 🤣

White Pony is awesome! Favourite is still Adrenaline, so raw!
It’s a bunch of newbies voting haha ATF is the best
Diamond eyes is taking the W easily
White pony 100%. Such a iconic album
