With WHITE PONY, Deftones mastermind and vocalist/guitarist Chino Moreno has brought the band to full gallop.Somewhat inspired by the game show, "Feiticeira" recounts a chilling abduction from the first person perspective, while "Digital Bath" features moody verses and brutal choruses. "Elite" uses a vocal approach usually reserved for death metal bands while "Rx Queen" is morbidly romantic. "Teenager" celebrates the purity of adolescence and "Passenger" showcases a vocal duel between Tool/A Perfect Circle frontman Maynard James Keenan who co-wrote the track. Deftly produced by the band and metal producing veteran Terry Date, WHITE PONY is far from a sideshow; it's the main event.

Editorial Reviews
8 out of 10 - ...Regarded as the biggest American rock album to be released this year....it's a good job they've made a great album....And it sounds like Foreigner.
NME

4 stars out of 5 - ...A very good album....Deftones will always be the most rewarding of the current nu-metal crop...
Melody Maker (20000627)

...More influenced by new wave than new metal....[the album] is a masterwork of fluctuating dynamics...
CMJ (20000619)

Included in CMJ's Best Loud Rock Albums of 2000.
CMJ (20010108)

5 out of 5 - ...Explores rock's sonic possibilities from the head and the gut, without diluting the intention or diminishing its essence....WHITE PONY is invigorating.
Alternative Press (20000701)

3 stars out of 5 - ...Their most adventurous and assured album to date....Best appreciated if your 16, covered in spots and not scared of falling off your skateboard...a welcome addition to 2000's modern-metal canon.
Q (20000701)

...Their brutality will burn its way into your memory banks. - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (20000707)

3 stars out of 5 - ...a classic alternative-rock album, as gentle and catchy as it is dark....trading nuance for studio-generated crescendoes...
Rolling Stone (20000720)
