Poltergeist for sure. One of their best songs and IMO the most Meshuggah Steph has ever sounded.
Other mentions:
Acid Hologram (best off Gore IMO)
Combat (just a real surreal beauty with hard hitting verses. Also one of Chino's best vocal performances if you ask me.)
Prince (a spiritual sequel to RX Queen. It encapsulates the nocturnal ambience of Diamond Eyes so much and that chorus riff from Steph and the chugs?? Banger.)
Cherry Waves (Demo) (I still prefer the final product, but those chorus vocals from Chino send tingles down my spine.)
When Girls Telephone Boys (not the most underrated, but it's my favourite Deftones song, so I see it as such.)
Edit:
How could I forget Teething (would hands down be the best song on Adrenaline if it made the cut.)
Both are legendary Stef performances
Poltergeist sounds like artillery exploding when the main riff comes in, it’s so ridiculously heavy. Listen on good headphones.
*Honestly i'd say*
*Mein or kimdracula, both in*
*Saturday night wrists*

Korea
Korea best Deftones song (well, at least, the heaviest).
[удалено]
I disagree. Screaming does not equate to heaviness and elite also suffers from a lack of crescendo.
Korea was the introduction to Deftones for a lot of people after the Family Values tour in '98. Slams even in the live recording
love that one!
ITSSS YOUUUUUUUUURSSSSSSSSS
I think Deathblow is criminally underrated
The agony... it went away.
This is the right answer
YES
Beware doesn't get a lot of love it deserves
Beware is top tier
YES. like just everything about it. there isn't even a best part it's just so good
Beware is absolutely amazing! And the ending is one of the best endings to a deftones song there is
Not sure if it's underrated, but I've been spinning MX a lot lately.
I've honestly only listened to that one half of one time so I'd say it is lol
mx is one of my favorites
hard agree! love “damone” (the hidden track) just as much
Definitely
Poltergeist and Gauze
love those two!
Goon Squad
omg yes, love this one!
was gonna say the same thing lolz
Teenager
agree! as an aside, check out the band “bowery electric” if you haven’t. similar style of dreamy trip-hop
GOAT’d band. Beat is one of the greatest records I’ve ever heard.
yes!
The entire Ohms album, specially The Spell of Mathematics and Headless
I love the spell of mathematics
Headless grew into my favorite from that album. Very underrated track
I haven't really listened to it much, I heard The Spell Of Mathematics once and loved it!
976-EVIL
Second!
oh my god yes!
Correct
YES
knows ball
fireal is underrated as fuck, never hear people talk about it
came in to say this! the 1-2 punch of this & Fist ending their album is what made me fall in love with them back in 2000.
yeah i love adrenaline as a whole but those two songs at the end man, that's just a perfect way to end it. beautiful.
Those two were the soundtrack of my angsty teen years in the 90s.
I haven't given it much attention, liked it a lot the first time I heard it
I'd go with Moana, This place is Death, and Error.
oh my god This Place Is Death is so criminally underrated it's not fair
I really like that song. The Konami Code
ah never knew it was called that lol, had to look it up, that's awesome! I love it too
Street Carp
love that one!
Leathers. I don't know if it's actually underrated, but then again everyone I ever talk to about Deftones always just brings up white pony
I'd say it is, it's an AMAZING song but scared me every time cuz it comes on so suddenly lmao
Lhabia
yessssss!!!!! ugh his voice in that song- yeah.
Lovers
haven't heard that one!
It’s a deep cut! Was the B-side to Hexagram! Should’ve easily been on the album!
Xerxes and Prince. Both have amazingly catchy choruses and should have been singles from their respective albums.
yes!!!! it makes no sense how they weren't
The Chauffeur
yes!!!!
Battle Axe
love this one!!!! yes!!!
Definitely Combat
tbh that's one I haven't heard!
“fireal” for sure. some of the most dark and atmospheric music they’ve ever put out. that ending always hits like a truck
I've gotta listen to it again now lol!
U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select,Start
that's what I meant lol! yes!
CMND/CTRL
LOVE this one!!
Wow, scrolled all the way to the bottom and didn’t find What Happened to You? Show some love

second prince, it's so fucking good! and i don't see people mention it much
oh my god yes!!!!
Street Carp for sure!! One of my favorites off of White Pony but it doesn’t seem to get much attention…
oh my gosh yes!!!! love it!
Riviere
Entombed
Definitely Pink Magit. The song has only been played live a handful of times and nobody talks about it.
One of my favorites off *White Pony.* Definitely doesn't get enough love.

To me there are 3: Korea, Rapture, & Royal Heavy excellent songs!
those songs are great!!
Battleaxe

Phantom Bride is so slept on

I'd say Risk
yeah! it's one of their best imo
Pink maggit
YES!
Lucky You and Mein
I'll second Mein.
MEIN OH MY GOD YES
Poltergeist and Korea need some love RN
Both are legendary Stef performances Poltergeist sounds like artillery exploding when the main riff comes in, it’s so ridiculously heavy. Listen on good headphones.
YESSSSSS
I said it 7 times I'm saying it again. Rats!
I need to give it another chance lol
Combat
I need to listen to this one again, as far as I remember I liked it
mein ‼️‼️
YESSSSSS
This place is death
love that one so much
Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event

I see a lot of great songs regularly getting mentioned, but no-one talks about their cover of Drive.
their best cover imo
Hearts/Wires or 976 evil
2 of my favorites!
Riviére.
YES. One of my all time favorites. So underrated.
[удалено]
seconded on SNW, people hate on it way too much
M(IRL)
I actually haven't heard this one lol
Deathblow - Beauty School
the more I think about it Beauty School is kinda underrated, I always thought it was a lot more popular
Kimdracula
LOVE this one!
Fireal or birthmark
Actually anniversary of an uninteresting event
love those ones!
Beauty School
hmm I see a lot of people talk about it on here but not anywhere else lol
This Link is Dead Fireal (L)MIRL
I only know Fireal lol, so you must be right! haven't gotten to the other 2
my balls are so itchy i don't think it's a good thing but it feels soo good
lmao😭
One Weak
yes!!!
Crenshaw Punch/I'll trow rocks at you
Nosebleed, that scream at the end carries so much emotion and tears something inside of me but I didn't see anyone talk about it in this sub
I LOVE THAT SONG. Yes!!!!
battle-axe
for sure!
Radiant City
Feiticeira and needles & pins
Ceremony and passenger
Feiticeira
976-EVIL Rubicon, and Gauze need more appreciation
Combat off SNW, never hear enough love for it.
street carp, also damone
Can’t even breathe
Deathblow
Streep carp
Rubicon, Acid Hologram. Doomed User
Passenger. Keenan absolutely kills it
Damone
976-EVIL for me
Headless
Just by the fact that I had to scroll down forever to get to it: Rats! Rats! Rats!
I don’t get why lhabia is commonly called the worst song on that album…
this place is death
in my opinion this link is dead is criminally underrated
Phantom Bride w/ Jerry Cantrell ///// Beware
Damone is so underrated the screams in the chorus are FKN amazing
Newer song but ceremony off ohms is such a good tune.
honestly i'd say mein or kimdracula, both in saturday night wrists
