Kodwa lo msebenzi uphinde uzwakalise ulaka oluhlobene ku-"Engine No 9" (i-debut single yabo kusukela ngo-1984) futhi uhlola idrama edabukisayo engomeni ethi "Fist" nethi "Birthmark".
Nakuba i-albhamu ngokuvamile ihlala emthunzini wezimbangi uKorn no-Nirvana, ibhendi ibonisa indlela evuthiwe yokubhekana nezinkinga ezingokwengqondo ezingomeni zabo.

Umculi wezwi u-Chino Moreno uyisizathu sokuqala sokulalela i-albhamu: isitayela sakhe sezwi siba ngcono futhi senze izinto eziningi kulo msebenzi.
I-"Adrenaline" kanye nethi "Around The Fur" bekungamaculo esizukulwane esilalela umculo we-grunge. Nge-"White Pony" (Maverick, 2000), i-Deftones izuze umsindo wakudala nowokuvukela umbuso.

Unya oluhehayo lomculo luhlanganiswe nezingoma ezijulile nezine-erudite, ezihlotshaniswa nokuhlukaniswa kanye nokusesha injongo yokuphila. Lapho i-Korn ne-Tool ingumculo wobusha, ama-Deftones amafilosofi abantu abadala.
Isibonelo, ingoma ethule futhi esabekayo ethi "I-Digital Bath", eculwa njengokungathi ephusheni, iwubuciko bangempela bengoma yefilosofi.
Nge-albhamu yabo elandelayo, ethi, Around the Fur, abakwaDeftones basabhalansa phakathi komsindo osindayo kanye nezingoma. Kodwa futhi bancike kumathrendi omsindo we-pop.

I-albhamu yamiswa isikhathi eside ngesikhathi umshayi webhesi u-Chi Cheng ebandakanyeka engozini yemoto eyamshiya equlekile. Ngo-2009, uCheng wathathelwa indawo ngumdlali webhesi waseQuicksand uSergio Vega kwathi iqembu labuyela ekuvakasheni nasekuqopheni i-albhamu.
Nakuba i-"Eros" ehleliwe yayingakakhishwa futhi iqoqa uthuli eshalofini, ngo-2010 ibhendi yakhipha i-albhamu entsha ethi "Diamond Eyes". U-Cheng walulama kancane ngo-2012 futhi wabuyela ekhaya eyolungisa kabusha.
