  • White Pony may have been the Deftones' commercial high point and most critically acclaimed release, but its predecessor, 1997's Around the Fur, was their creative turning point when the band really found itself and the full range of its expansive, expressive sound. In the first episode of Revolver's new "Game Changers" series, singer Chino Moreno and guitarist Stephen Carpenter look back at the defiant creative spirit, late-night parties and last-second studio improvisations that led to some of their most timeless music.

    Chino is low key scared remembering how angry he used to be and how that made its way into the record. My personal favorite deftone album. I have the CD in my car at all times

      Yes! Every time I come back to that album, though, I find myself appreciating a single song more than the others and then it changes and then changes again. Only a few albums have been like that for me.

      In 97-98 this was IT for me. The first time I bought Around the Fur was on cassette. I had a boom box, a skateboard, and a fucked up haircut and I was out of control. Adrenaline was a great album but when this came out it was all over for me. For at least two summers this was probably the only album I listened to.

    Here is an interesting fact. A few months after ATF was released, reports came back to the Maverick label that Deftones - Around The Fur CD was the #1 CD that kids were stealing from record stores. I informed Chino about this & after a good laugh, we were like, as long as the music is getting out to the fans which the music was actually created for!! Such a great & positive response from an even better all around person.

I don’t think “God, I can’t believe I used to actually listen to the Deftones.” They took the next steps as a band instead of just trying to make music that would be popular in the moment.

    Around the Fur, is my favorite CD, by far. Love it! I saw these guys, just outside of Pittsburgh, in a ice-skating rink. Very intimate show.

    Around the fur is their best song. I wish they would go back to that level of intensity.
