Around The Fur – Deftones – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Released in 1997, ‘AROUND THE FUR’ stands as a landmark moment not just for Deftones, but for the evolution of alternative rock. With its feverish guitars, intricate rhythms, and Chino Moreno’s signature vocal dynamism, the album bridges raw aggression with moments of haunting beauty. Tracks like ‘Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)’ and ‘My Own Summer (Shove It)’ pulse with restless energy, capturing the volatile spirit of a generation grappling with angst and longing. Deftones’ willingness to experiment—blending melody, dissonance, and groove—pushed the boundaries of what was expected in heavy music at the time.

What sets ‘AROUND THE FUR’ apart is its sense of atmosphere: the band crafts a dense, immersive soundscape that feels both immediate and otherworldly, inviting deep listening on every spin. For collectors, this album is a snapshot of the late ’90s rock landscape, but its impact echoes far beyond nostalgia. It’s a vital listen for anyone curious about the tension and catharsis that define modern rock, and a testament to Deftones’ enduring influence. Owning this record means having a piece of music history that continues to inspire and energize.
