As we always say these are our opinions, not law. We have our own particular tastes in music and that is what directs our overall opinion.
Build the community; let's talk in the comments!!!
I find the backstory shared in the comments here give me a better understanding to the unseen or unheard nuances to the song. Quite interesting for real, it gives the narrative more of an adult like experience as opposed to the quote on quote ‘School’ aspect. I’ll be downloading this one.
Bruv, I'm am loving that you are loving Deftones. They are one of the pillars of the Nu-Metal genre that have transcended beyond being just that and have always done exactly what they want, nothing more. I will say tho, I don't know how you've made it this far and NOT done My Own Summer....absolute FIRE!
Interesting story about this song: Back to School (also know as Mini Maggit), was added to the album (White Pony) after the album was first released... the first prints of CDs released didn't have this song on it (I know mine didn't), it was added to the beginning of the album in later prints/releases. The story goes that White Pony was Deftones' most critically acclaimed album and the record label felt like they didn't have a real strong single to put on the radio/MTV (other than "Change [In the house of flies]"). So they asked the Deftones to crank out a radio friendly single. This song is actually a sort of remix of the last song on the album, Pink Maggit, but with a very different vibe but similar melody.
This song wasn't on the original release for the album. The label had them go back to the studio and record a "rap-rock single"

i am a deftones life long fan since the 90’s. One of my favorite bands. This song may be most fans LEAST favorite. their hearts werent in this “single” version at all. Appreciate yalls honest reaction and looking at all sides of a band not just the great songs (even though this one made me cringe) 🤠. Try “Rosemary” or “Around the fur” or “My own summer”
Ahhh this track. Deftones never wanted to make this song. Pink maggit was the original version and much better. Interesting he said there’s a disconnect between the chorus and verse. They wrote this so fast to be radio friendly. They had outgrown this nu metal rap rock at this point
20 years later and this song still hits really damn hard. Still get chills every time i listen to them. Chino has a voice and way to sing and rap that just works for me. Probably my favorite band of all time.
When I saw the song you were reacting to, I was nervous that you weren’t gonna love it based on the past Deftones songs you’ve reacted to. Glad to see you enjoyed it, now you have to do My Own Summer, Kimdracula and Cherry Waves!! Cheers 🍻
Loving the reactions and good to see you covering more Deftones! Tell ya guest host to wear his headphones properly if he wants to hear the full mix ;)
I remember when this song debuted. Still sounds incredible.
Yet again, I must say I love this channel. Each person brings their own style and energy. You don't feel the need to feign hype, and you're giving the songs some serious thought. Everyone doesn't need to fall in love with every style that's out there, and different perspectives lead to the best conversations. Thanks again for taking the time to create this content and share your opinions/reactions.
I just watched all of your reactions to the Deftones and this particular one can describe how people respond to them. In that, you get them off the break and love it or it does not appeal to your musical ear. I felt the same way you did, JB… I felt that shit right away when I listened to their first album and knew that they were special in their approach to the flooded genre. Made their own path using a lot of unique chords and sound mixing. The drummer keeps me in it… always. And, of course, Chino’s voice. Phew. Forget about it.
Very good insight from the both of you! Wasn’t expecting the second dude to like it all the way through but gave his honest opinion which is always a plus! Great video 💯 big deftones fan here btw
You gotta checkout some of their newer stuff, especially Beauty School, Rocket skates, Now you've seen the butcher! top quality stuff, encapsulating the Deftones spirit! You are one of the few people who Really get them so i think you gonna love those tracks!
Bro you two are spot on with your opinions. Honesty Is must appreciated
I love watching you turn into a fan of rock over time. Variety is the spice of life

Deftones - "Bored" and "Seven Words" are still my favorites by them.
