    The album that gave heavy music permission to be beautiful: White Pony layers shoegaze texture and trip-hop space over Deftones' weight, with "Change (In the House of Flies)" as the seductive single and "Passenger"'s Maynard duet as the cult centerpiece. Nu-metal's ceiling, broken from inside — and the genre tag never fit again.

    the one where they worked out the quiet is as heavy as the loud. Passenger with maynard is still the peak for me.

About

White Pony is the third studio album by American alternative metal band Deftones. Released June 20, 2000, it marked a significant growth in the band's sound, incorporating New Wave, dream pop, trip hop, and shoegaze influences with the alternative metal edge the group had become known for and is considered a turning point for the band in terms of experimentation. To this end, it is generally regarded by fans and critics alike as their most mature outing and is also their highest-selling album to date. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA on July 17, 2002. The album features three successful singles as well as the 2001 Grammy Award-winning track for Best Metal Performance, "Elite." White Pony is also the first album to feature Frank Delgado as a full-time member of the band. Delgado had worked previously with the band as a featured guest on Around the Fur, producing audio effects on select songs.
