The cult favorite that aged into consensus: Around the Fur catches Deftones between nu-metal adjacency and the dream-heavy band they'd become — "My Own Summer (Shove It)"'s coiled menace, "Be Quiet and Drive"'s shoegaze-metal blueprint. Chino's scream-to-whisper instincts already fully formed. The sound of a genre outgrowing itself in real time.

About
Around the Fur is Deftones' second major label album, released in 1997. The songs "My Own Summer (Shove It)" and "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" were both released as singles with accompanying videos. The album was eventually certified platinum on June 7, 2011. Around the Fur is the first album to feature Frank Delgado as additional personnel, who would eventually join the band officially in 1999. The song "Headup" features Max Cavalera of Soulfly doing additional vocals. It was written by Max and Chino as a way of venting some of their pain over the loss of Max's step-son, and Chino's friend, Dana Wells. Soulfly is taken from a portmanteau invented for the song. English alternative rock band Muse cites Deftones as a root influence and sometimes uses the riff to "Headup" as an outro to their song "New Born" during live performances.
