RCK038 - Deftones - White Pony

White Pony is Deftones' third studio album, released on June 20, 2000, and is widely considered their masterpiece. It marked a huge shift in their sound, blending nu-metal, alternative rock, shoegaze, and trip-hop influences into something truly unique.

Standout Tracks:

• "Change (In the House of Flies)" – Their biggest hit, haunting and atmospheric
• "Digital Bath" – Dreamy and eerie with an unforgettable chorus
• "Knife Prty" – Dark, seductive, and features chilling guest vocals
• "Passenger" (feat. Maynard James Keenan of Tool) – Epic and cinematic
• "Elite" – Heavy and aggressive, won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance
• "Back to School (Mini Maggit)" – A rap-metal twist on "Pink Maggit"

This album took Deftones beyond nu-metal, helping them carve out their own lane in alternative metal. Terry Date’s production and Chino Moreno’s evolving vocal style (from whispers to screams) made White Pony an absolute classic.
