do i own this album ? yes, on cd

around the fur is considered deftones' magnum opus. the band wanted to move away from the 'nu-metal' label given to them in 1995 following the release of adrenaline, so they released a much heavier record. every track on this album is pretty solid, my only critique is mascara being the third track, ruining the flow of the album. this album is up there as one of my favorites, and the my own summer music video is so cool, i rewatch it all the time
