While
the Deftones still rely more on form than content, they have noticeably improved on their second album,
Around the Fur. Their sound has hardened into a blunt, aggressive slab of metallic guitars and hammering drums, giving the album a visceral force.
The Deftones tap into the same
alternative metal vibe as
Korn and
L7, and while they don't have catchy riffs or a fully developed sound,
Around the Fur suggests they're about to come into their own.
