Free Music Review: Rap and rock combine in an explosive album
Hit: 5 Stars
The Deftones' "White Pony" is a bizarre mix of angst, dissonant rock and hip-hop sensibilities that is still hard to define after nine years.
The lyrics are most ground up, vague messages of fury. Honestly, it's hard to even conceive what Chino Moreno means in the song "Korea" when he screams "Night time! Cavity! To come in! Downtown! Pony! Work your pitch!"
However, the band exceled in turning the rap/rock sound into an unusual mix of blasting anger, echo effects, and larger-than-life mixing sounds. The guitars grind ferociously. Moreno whispers with pent-up emotions bottled up, before yelling in his strange, otherworldly dialect.
The single on this album which broke the band onto mainstream radio was a song of abstract symbols, "Change (in the House of Flies)." The band makes their message simple and clear, as Moreno whispers, "I took you home/Set you on the glass/I pulled off your wings/Then I laughed." It's a song about getting the rug pulled out from underneath you. The quiet mood is broken when Moreno yells "I watched the change in you!" while Stephen Carpenter blasts guitar chords to a smashing drum beat by Abe Cunningham.
However, the song that made The Deftones immensely popular was the hit single, "Back to School (Mini Maggit)." It's disputably one of the greatest rap/rock songs of the 2000s, before disco punk took all over. The song is a chaotic blend of industrial-sounding drums, growling electric guitars and killer rap vocals.
And when one thinks that this song is about how school sucks, Moreno then rips some thoughtful rhymes about the importance of school. He attacks like a murderer on the mic, yelling, "You just can't go on, rockin' the clothes, copyin the stance/Cause really is everything that you're not!"
The Deftones whole-heartedly changed the face of hip-hop-styled rock by mixing in echos, low-fidelity vocal effects and unconventional guitar grinds. Sure, the sound would change entirely after bands such as Arcade Fire and Death Cab for Cutie took the stage, but back in 2000, the Deftones were the defining band to beat.

Title: WHITE PONY
Street Release Date: 10/03/2000
Genre: ROCK/POP
The aggro-rock movement spearheaded by the 'Tones, Korn, Sevendust, System of a Down, and Rage Against the Machine, among others, has been taking on new influences with each new release by the major players. White Pony may be the biggest leap yet for the genre, as Chino Moreno, Chi Cheng, Abe Cunningham, Stephen Carpenter, and DJ Frank Delgado maintain the fierceness that's earned them a rabid following. This time out, however, their patented brand of hip-hop metal is adorned with ambient and alt-rock touches. --Steven Stolder
