Totally. Of all my favorite bands, Deftones are the only one I can't actually pick out one record as being their 'best' album. Around The Fur, White Pony and self-titled are all perfect tens in my view.
Bugs me that a lot of people still associate them with the pretty much defunct nu metal scene still, and refuse to take them seriously cos all they've heard is Back To School. They are genuinely unique.
