I absolutely adore the deftones. I've been a fan since I was a kid and first heard Adrenaline. They don't have the most technically skilled strings section of all time, but they redeem themselves by playing very aggressively. Abe's drumming is stellar, and his timing is so strange I often get lost in the drumming when I listen to them. Chino is also one of my favorite vocalists. I've never been able to get into metal, or most hardcore because I can't stand the growling vocals, and I'm into the whisper to scream thing that Chino does so well, so they naturally appeal to me.
I own all their albums, I love them all, although the 2nd half of Saturday Night Wrist is kind of disappointing, I've been expecting a bad album since White Pony came out, and thankfully they're proven me wrong.
