Around the Fur is hailed as the first truly great Nu Metal album and considered one of (if not the best) in the genre. It was also Deftones’ breakthrough success, and a telling sign of the Metal trend in the late 90’s.
To me, it’s a really plain Nu/Alternative Metal album. Honestly, the production is probably the best part of this, the guitars having a fantastic tone and a perfect amount of reverb and effect on them to create a strong wave of slightly dissonant chords. The music though, is really average. There aren’t many riffs, progressions or leads that stand out, as the best part of the guitars are when they’re used more atmospheric like in “Be Quiet and Drive.” The rhythm section is quite standard, never doing anything too fast or complex. The vocals are at least unique, and I can see an appeal to them, but they don’t do a whole lot for me personally; the lyrics are similarly boring and border on cryptic. For a genre that excels at self-expression, there’s just not a lot of that here, and it hurts the whole thing. Nu Metal should either be full of catchy charisma or painfully emotional vulnerability, and this release doesn’t pack either one.
It’s the same quality as their debut for me. Average Nu Metal. Not bad, but nothing special.

A massive step up, and easily the best nu-metal album out there Best songs: Around the Fur, Be Quitet and Drive, Dai the Flu, Lotion)

hudba je celkom v pohode, ale ten falošný spev je otrasný. Bez melódie, akoby zaspatý a mimo rytmu. Deftones poznám už roky a ich spev neviem doteraz oceniť.

I was already a big fan of their song 7 Words, and when Around the Fur was released I learned for sure that this was a great band. That's when the video for My Own Summer debuted on 120 Minutes.
