Originally released on October 28, 1997, Around the Fur is Deftones' sophomore album that solidified their place in the alternative metal landscape. This record represents a significant evolution from their debut, showcasing a more refined yet ferociously intense sound. Produced by Terry Date, the album melds heavy guitar riffs, intricate rhythms, and Chino Moreno's dynamic vocal delivery, ranging from haunting whispers to cathartic screams.

Opening with the relentless "My Own Summer (Shove It)," Around the Fur immediately pulls listeners into its immersive, darkly atmospheric world. Tracks like "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" and "Around the Fur" highlight the band’s ability to balance aggression with melodic depth, creating a sound that is as emotionally compelling as it is sonically powerful. The lyrical themes delve into introspection, isolation, and raw emotion, resonating deeply with a generation seeking an authentic voice.
