Around The Fur

Product Information

Around the Fur has been described as alternative metal, [2] [3] [4] nu metal, [5] [6] post-hardcore, [7] and alternative rock. Very dynamic pressing, spacious soundstage, a bit quiet however, and not as bass-heavy as white pony. On vinyl editions of the album, neither of the hidden tracks on are featured, and the album ends after "MX".

but it was with 'around the fur' that the band earned the attention of a far larger audience as it topped the billboard heatseekers chart, helped in part by two of the band's most famous moments 'my own summer (shove it)' and 'be quiet and drive (far away)'. The song features Abe Cunningham’s then-wife Annalynn’s vocals during sections of the song’s verses. He further noted that, while the album "sounds undeniably thicker and heavier" than the band's debut album Adrenaline, Chino Moreno's new wave and post-punk influences became increasingly evident: "On Around the Fur, Moreno's love of new wave groups like Depeche Mode and The Cure began to rear its head in earnest. English alternative rock band Muse have cited Deftones as a root influence [56] [57] and sometimes use the riff to "Headup" as an outro to their song " New Born" during live performances.Around the Fur is the second studio album by American alternative metal band Deftones, released on October 28, 1997, by Maverick Records.

The second track, "Lhabia", expresses the frustration of a woman forced into prostitution, while simultaneously being exposed to a drug-defendant lifestyle.

In 2015, critic Saby Reyes-Kulkarni of Diffuser stated that "[o]n their landmark second album, Deftones infused elements of new wave and shoegaze to define their future direction. The album was highly anticipated, and propelled the band to fame in the alternative metal scene on the strength of radio and MTV airplay for the singles " My Own Summer (Shove It)" (released December 22, 1997) and "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" (released March 9, 1998).

Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile.In a retrospective review, AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "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". In September 1998, Deftones toured with Red Hot Chili Peppers, who were playing their first shows in over six years with guitarist John Frusciante. When Deftones\’ hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno\’s voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. My Own Summer (Shove It)" appeared on The Matrix: Music from the Motion Picture, released on March 30, 1999.
