Luckily, that third record, White Pony, ended up being the band's pivotal turning point, marking a shift from their nu-metal roots to a more cerebral, artistic approach.īut the idea of that song - something that could be such a hollowed out version of an already existing sound - stuck with me, particularly after Deftones released their self-titled album three years later. But for the week or so that I didn't know that, I listened to the song a number of times, noting that it sounded like a paint-by-numbers version of their style. It turned out to actually be a track by Relative Ash, a band who were, in fact, taking Deftones' style and image and dumbing it down into a mediocre tribute act.
In the early days of peer-to-peer file sharing I downloaded an MP3 that claimed to be a song from the much-anticipated, and still yet to be released third Deftones album.
