Around the Fur

Deftones
Released 1997Metal
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A heavier, sharper second album of dynamic alt-metal. Powerful and beloved. A breakthrough. Released in 1997, it's a key entry in Deftones's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
