Chino on Pink Maggit: "The song is meant to be triumphant. I'm trying to spread a little confidence. Lots of artists try to make songs for the kids who are tormented in school, telling them it's okay to be tormented. But it's not okay. Don't be ridiculed. Become the leader of your surroundings. Confidence is one of the most important things in life. If you are confident, you can do whatever you want"

@Vesanic yeah, what's confusing is the quote from Chino. it sounds very much like he's taking specifically about Mini Magit/Back To School, though references Pink Magit. Mini leans full into that Nu Metal scene where Pink hides itself under your bed and sings hellish lullabies to calm your scars. I agree that as a solid album, Mini doesn't really fit, but if it's going to be anywhere, hitting you right out the gate to reprise at the end works pretty well, so kudos to the engineer responsible for that placement rather than a bonus track right after Pink.

Yup. Back to School wasn’t on the original release of White Pony (I bought it when it came out). Feiticeira set up the album much better as an opening track.

I thought Pink Maggit was better than Back to School and was a good closer to the album.

Some nights were super wild… [but] I wouldn’t say it’s a party record by any means. I think it has a sleazy vibe… that’s how we were living and it kind of crawled it’s way into the music.”

@@mollyesanborn Elite winning a Grammy is actually pretty ironic. Deftones were going to have a song played on the radio, but the station said that they wouldn’t play it unless they cut out some of the screaming, just said it sounded too harsh. There’s actually a video out there of Chino getting pretty worked up about it, pretty much saying that their music is going to be listened to how it was intended to be heard, and they’re not going to make any changes to something that they’re so proud of because a radio station said they should. Elite was intended to be a big middle finger to the station, hence why the song was screaming pretty much through the entire thing, and then won a Grammy for best metal performance

The true tracklist of this album doesn't start with Back to School- it starts with Feiticeira. B2S was tacked on a re-release of the album by the label to attract more album sales. They made that song after the album was completed. Thats why when you heard "Pink Maggit", it had the same themes/sounds/lyrics. I wish you got to experience the album without B2S tbh.

Some of the original Deftones fans really didn't like this album because this was the album that the sound of their changed, our ventured off, or some could call developed...I really liked it myself, but I also understand why some might not. It brought that more electronic sounds in a little.

“That song was very undeftones like...” (No, no, that’s actually very deftones) “Wow, that song didn’t go how I thought it would” (....told ya)

White Pony is such a great album, you should listen any other like Koi No Yokan or Gore, the whole Deftones discography is gorgeous

The thing about Deftones that makes them so special and unique if how they mix opposites to make music that in theory would contradict and not work, but it ends up being a beautiful result. Every once in a while the band gets together and has this perfect synergy that makes some of the best music that I've ever listened to. Around the Fur, White Pony, Diamond Eyes and Ohms are all perfect examples. Their music tells a story of emotions with a sort of bounces between happy/energetic emotion with dark/heavy/sad emotion and the albums end up having a really nice flow. In fact I always opt to listen to the albums in full as compared to listening to a couple songs at a time here and there because of how the albums flow and the emotions you feel. Even Saturday Night Wrist being one of the less popular ones is brilliantly written and adding in a sense of mystery to it and a feeling like you never know what's gonna happen. Deftones definitely earns their spot as my #1 band of all time, they are on another realm in the music industry.

Dude you totally killed this! guess the overall nocturnal-ethereal atmosphere and effects is brought by the addition as a member on this particular album, former collaborator in the past, of Frank Delgado on turntables. Most disctintive addittion to their sound. and a stand out on their latest Ohms album. Ima check out your other reactions, cheers!

This is THE album where they really turned the corner and developed their "sound" as it has come to be known. The prior two albums were much more Nu Metal sounding. That Hip Hop vibe you were hearing on Pink Maggot was remnants of their initial Nu Metal style.

Deftones is controlled chaos, at times beautiful, and at others, destructive, most times they are both at the same time. Their music paints landscapes of emotion.

Ohms is 2020 and White Pony is 2000 so it'd be cool if you went right down the middle and experienced 2010's Diamond Eyes, which is also wonderful and full of range.

That was Maynard falling from the sky to sing with Chino

Awesome! Great to redo the White Pony experience- seriously one of the most rewarding and evergreen records out there- and they have never made a bad one

One if the best albums, atmosphere is amazing and perfect contrast of heavy and powerful with calm and emotional

I was similar to you in regards to Deftones. I had only listened to one song, which was Swerve City when Koi Noi Yokan dropped. And as much as I loved that song initially, it took me 8 years to actually go through their discography. And as the saying goes, better late than never. The best way to describe them is that they are the heaviest of heavy, and I’m not talking just sonically, but the emotional weight and undertone that permeates their music. And while every role each member plays compliments the total sound, Frank Delgado’s contributions to the soundscape and textures is the icing that makes it ethereal and other-worldly

Hey, I just found your channel and immediately subscribed as I saw this video ^^ welcome to the Deftones world, it's a magical place full of great music and great people ahahahahah I'm looking forward to see more Deftones reactions, every single album they made is great so you can't go wrong with any of them, but I think it would be cool if you listen to them in the same order as they came out, that way you can really see the evolution which, to me, is a huge part of Deftones' charm ^^

I remember listening to this album when it first came out w some high school besties who I played in a band with. Our towns are about 13 miles away from each other and we were going to and from out on the "county" roads. Knife Prty played and I just closed my eyes and couldn't believe the sound of the part with the lady guest vocalist doing the shrieks and wails. I'll never forget that experience, it was so beautiful. Was already a fan of their two previous albums. They took it to a new level with white pony. Glad you listened. Nice reaction.

Yeah, "Back To School" does have that hip hop vibe mixed with rock (nu metal). "Feiticeria" actually means "sorceress" in Spanish. My absolute favorite song is "Rx Queen". My absolute favorite CD of all-time. The track "Teenager" is sad as all $#!+(!!!). Amazing upload!!!

Hey loved the video - Pink Maggit is my favourite too ! - Such a stellar album though, all the tracks are fantastic. I remember getting it as a birthday present on my 12th birthday - I keep coming back to this one

Great video. Your insights are spot on. I'd like to see follow up videos to some of these albums where you dive into the lyrics if you think that's something you might be into. Chino writes his lyrics using a lot of metaphore and imagery and has a tendency to tell a story,, or set a scene, with his songs. This is a masterpiece album that never gets old no matter how much you listen to it. Staying power is something that all great albums have. Once you've listened to a lot more albums you will notice that the best ones you've heard will stay with you and stick out among the rest. Also, seeing as how we have the same (or very similar) taste in music I wanted to suggest to you the album *Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness* by The Smashing Pumpkins. It's not only considered their best album but is considered one of the best rock albums of the 90's. It's also hailed as the best double disc album ever made. It has a mixture of heavy, fast and darker rock songs along with beautiful, melodic slower songs that will give you chills. Overall it's a real masterpiece and a gorgeous album from beginning to end.

There is something so distinct about Deftones that no other band has ever come close to replicating (at least for me personally). Easily my favorite band of all time since discovering their music.

And I thought I was the only one that was in love for the last song "Pink Maggit"! The tone, the atmosphere, it hits me stronger than the rest. But Knife Party, Digital Bath and even the track "Teenager" (that I personally love for the change of tone, so smooth) are also favorites on the album.

They unintentionally made a bookending by re-using the Pink Maggit lyrics, making the album more cohesive as an unit, they also made a final track for their Nu Metal era, a farewell for their young selves (as this song does sound like juvenile rebellion). i don't consider this track the true opener of White Pony, no, it's more of a _track 0,_ It isn't setting the album's tone as Feiticeira does, but rather giving us a last taste of what Deftones _was_ before White Pony changed everything.

Great video! Your commentary was awesome to listen to! As a long time Deftones fan, seeing people enjoy their music for the first time is always a pleasure to watch. If you want to make more (I hope you do), Diamond Eyes is a classic, and their newest album Ohms is incredibly good.

I've actually heard Ohms, it's what made me want to dive deeper into their discography. I definitely plan on making more reactions and can't wait to listen to the rest of their albums!
