Review

Alright, let’s dive into Deftones' fiery debut album, "Adrenaline," from 1995. This record packs a real punch with its energetic mix of alternative and nu-metal, putting the band's early potential on full display. The production work by Terry Date, with a hidden gem produced by Ross Robinson, keeps things sounding sharp and well-crafted throughout.

Musically, "Adrenaline" is a wild ride, blending heavy metal, hardcore punk, and post-punk influences to create a unique sound that’s both intense and melodic. Chino Moreno’s introspective lyrics, delivered with his distinct voice, add a layer of depth to the aggression. Despite a modest start in sales, the album picked up steam thanks to relentless touring and word-of-mouth buzz, eventually surpassing 220,000 copies sold. This debut set the stage for Deftones' legacy, proving their grit and talent from the get-go. - Peter
