Deftones - White Pony (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) (2020)

Remixes aside, this is one of the best albums to have ever existed. One of the only albums I will ever call "perfect" in this lifetime, because that's what it is, a perfect experience from beginning to end.

 

I actually wouldn't mind giving these remixes a shot too, especially when brilliant artists like Dj Shadow, Robert Smith and Squarepusher are involved. Interested in hearing what others think of them.

The remixes that were released in advance of the album have been really cool imo. I'm very excited to hear the whole second side of this deluxe edition.

I tried listening to one song off this album but I gave up halfway through I think. Very interested in the Squarepusher remix however!

You should probably revisit the album some time.

Oh, I see. They released the best remixes upfront to hide how DJ Shadow and Tourist BUTCHERED Digital Bath and Change (In The House of Flies). What the HELL was that?!

Like, I love Shinoda's remix. And Purity Ring did an awesome job. But these are the kind of remixes because of which I HATE remix albums. And I was really looking forward to this. Welp, I know what I'm NOT investing my money in. :wacko:

Almost every remix minus the singles ranges from a waste of time to unlistenable. The feiticiera and digital bath remixes sound like legitimate trolls. I'm kind of at a loss for words that they would even release this and even moreso that I was confident it would be incredible.

 

Just no. But hey Ohms was the best album of 2020 so I'll just pretend this never happened.

Not that it matters to me since I own it, but it's kind of bizarre to me that they didn't include Back to School for this release, being that it was became a huge radio single and iconic track in its original status as a bonus track.  Figure space wasn't the issue here.  Label rights thing?  Hate to think people new to this band might be missing out on that classic.

If memory serves they were forced to include that song by the label. The song was meant to be kind of a goof, that's probably why they jettisoned it.

I'm sure at the time there was probably some resentment that they were being forced to ride the rap-metal radio wave as a single by basically remixing Pink Maggit into a rap-metal song at a time when they were trying to progress their sound more, but as a long term retrospective, it is very much a big part of the album's identity for much of the fanbase.  Shame if it was left off intentionally, but oh well.

It was on my old copy of WP and I grew up listening to it, not realizing it was shoe-horned in later. I do wish they had kept it in, cause when the lyrics come back later in Pink Maggit I still get full-body chills.

Knf Prty, Passenger are good, but Squarepushers rendition of Pink Maggot is worth price of admission alone.

 

Everything else was horrendously average for such an album.
