[youtube KyHBHB6P_Gw] Deftones are one of the few survivors of the late 90s alternative metal/rap-metal movement. Probably because their expiremental, atmospheric and ever-changing approach to music makes them stand out amongst the crowd. I think there is also a high level of musicianship that helped the Sacramento quintet stick out, especially Stephen Carpenter’s unique guitar sound and Abe Cunningham’s drumming; infamous for being incredible simple yet extremely consistent and often innovative. Chino Moreno also has a chameleon-like vocal style that helps the band reinvent themselves over and over.
This song, ‘Back To School’ is from the re-release of the 2000 album, ‘White Pony’. It was probably the second biggest single from that album behind ‘Change (in the house of flies)’. ’White Pony’ was probably my favorite Deftones album, although I have to admit that I never really listened to the Self-Titled album or Saturday Night Wrist. Deftones have a new album called ‘Eros’ coming out in late 2008.
