Deftones- Saturday Night Wrist

Label: Maverick

Released 2006

Back when the world was ruled by primitive nu-metal gorillas barking dysfunctional rhymes over recycled rock riffs, DEFTONES set themselves apart with a wild experimental streak that saw the group incorporating influences as diverse as the CURE, ORNETTE COLEMAN, and APHEX TWIN. Produced by Bob Erzin (PINK FLOYD, JANE'S ADDICTION), the Sacramento band's fifth full-length release, Saturday Night Wrist, features the kind of envelope-pushing fans have come to expect, shifting between gloomy ballads ("Xerces," "Beware") and apocalyptic rockers ("Rapture," "Rats! Rats! Rats!") that in an instant allow singer Chino Moreno to take his dynamic voice from a whisper to a scream with help from guest vocalists such as SYSTEM OF A DOWN's Serj Tankian and GIANT DRAG's Annie Hardy.
