As one of alternative metal's most experimental groups, Deftones consistently broke the mould over their diverse body of work. They're downright blissful on the gauzy “Cherry Waves” until punching into a rousing hard rock chorus. “Phantom Bride” bobs along like a hazy dream with its wiry synths. But you can't avoid the noise: “Rickets” is a storm of angry thrash that will rip right into you.
