Deftones are a rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_music) band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_ensemble) from Sacramento, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramento%2C_California) consisting of Stephen Carpenter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Carpenter) (guitar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_guitar)), Chino Moreno (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chino_Moreno) (vocals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singer)/guitar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_guitar)), Abe Cunningham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Cunningham) (drums (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_kit)), Chi Cheng (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_Cheng_%28musician%29) (bass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_guitar)) and Frank Delgado (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Delgado) (turntables (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turntablism)/keyboard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_keyboard)/samples (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_%28music%29)). Deftones have a diverse sound that has been described as ranging from alternative metal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_metal) and dream pop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_pop) to progressive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_rock) and experimental rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_rock).
Critics have often praised them as one of the more unique rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_%28music%29) bands of recent years for their innovative, atmospheric music; as Johnny Loftus writes, "Rock critics usually reserve a special place for Deftones above or at least away from the rest of the turn-of-the-century metal movement [...] Deftones have always seemed more curious, more willing to incorporate traditionally revered sounds like dream pop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_pop) or D.C. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington%2C_D.C._hardcore) hardcore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcore_punk) into their northern California alt-metal."

Giving out a lot of 5ers tonight. But they get that score simply because I lost my virginity to the White Pony album. That was.......weird.
