Advantages: Good value for money, Many tracks, brilliant music!

Disadvantages: Being an album it can get a little 'samey', so good you'll pump it out of your hi-fi and wake the neighbours!, good value for money, but like all popular bands, still costly

Having already downloaded 'Change' and 'Passenger' by the deftones as recommended by a friend I was very impressed. And when I bought their album 'White Pony' i wasn't in the least bit disappointed. There is a range on the album from heavier songs to more lyrical melodic ones, but every track conveys something to me. The lyrics are simple but effective, such as 'change': "I watched you change... into a fly...". The relatively simple accompaniment is powerful, and certainly does not lack in expression. The slow melodic nature of some of the pieces adds to their poignancy, and contrasts well with faster, heavier pieces, which tend to be upbeat and potent. Another Deftones' song I would recommend is "Be Quiet and Drive". Unfortunately this is not included in 'White Pony'. A slow, melodic piece, itis astrange mixture of Coldplay and heavy metal influences. I look forward to buying the next album!
