Taproot is similar...though both bands are just terrible live vocally.

I enjoy the Deftones but Chino is frustrating at times...particularly with his whispering vocals and drugged out metaphors that make no sense. Their guitarwork though is intriguing.

They also are very open about their marijuana use, so I have proof they are druggy lyrics.

Fun fact: the guitarist was lazy on Saturday Night Wrist because of a golf game addiction

Best songs from Deftones are: Simple Man (cover), Ghosts (cover), Dai the Flu, Passenger, Bloody Cape, 7 Words, Digital bath, Elite, Deathblow, Change (In the House of Flies) (Acoustic), Royal and Prince.

Their covers are on the level of Mnemic members, really well done. Hopefully they put the 7/8 string guitars to nice work on Eros.

I like Deftones. White Pony is an awesome album.
