Review by Daniel for Deftones - Adrenaline (1995)

I'm not really feeling this one. I really like some of their later material (especially "White Pony") but this sounds like they were still finding their feet at this stage. The nu-metal bits annoy me, the production is very dry (especially the guitar sound) & the song-writing doesn't capture me consistently enough. It's not miles off the mark as there's a few decent tracks & the performances are generally pretty good but overall I found it to be a bit flat.
