Deftones - White Pony - Music & Performance - CD

After listening to this album I can confidently say it matches word for word what shoe-gaze should be to the uninitiated. I call it dream metal due to how nu-metal, shoe-gaze and prog collide with Deftones, they are both nu-metal and not so much. In these days they were mostly famous in film scores like The Matrix and Queen of the Damned both in ads and during film. Of course let's be honest, no one heard any of their stuff beyond 'Change (In The House of Flies)' and 'My Own Summer (Shove It)' and anyone not a Y2Ker wouldn't even know who they are or were unless they were getting into shoe-gaze and discovered them by that. For me, the rocking epic fiction trilogy is complete but only after I get the next two. Overall, this album became their big break even if only the underground recognized them and most wanted hip thrashers instead of paced and cerebral bangers, that's Deftones to me.
