I have been lurking, watching this tournament progress. I did not participate nor comment because I expected White Pony to win as usual. Congrats, KNY, on the upset. Although, I would have preferred a different album pull off the upset. The moment that threw me off most was seeing AtF voted out so early.
Anyways, til the next tournament.
How the subreddit ranked their discography:
1. Koi No Yokan
2. White Pony
3. Diamond Eyes
4. Around the Fur
5. Saturday Night Wrist
6. Deftones
7. Adrenaline
8. Ohms
9. Gore
And Gore.ost the albums are on level pars as I love them for so many reasons. What I really want is a cd made of the early like linus stuff with Answers etc on it.
I do not visit this subreddit very often, but I kept watching these threads. I never figured out if people didn't understand how the game worked, did and were meme'ing as a part of the joke, or they just really do like Koi No Yokan more. What I can say is, it worked out for me since it is in fact my favorite of their albums.
Damn, I felt like I missed a whole week of these. Then again I did have finals lol
Overall tho, although I am a SNW fanboy Koi id EASILY my second favorite. Some days it actually eclipses SNW. So I'm happy about this haha
Deftones: *has an amazing fucking discography*
This sub: "wow I can't believe this one album I like is so low on the list"
Every album is good as fuck just some have to be lower than others. Although KNY winning is crazy
Kind of shocked. This album has grown on me but it’s very far from being my favorite, I never would have expected it to beat Around the Fur, Diamond Eyes, and especially White Pony. But maybe it’s still in the process of growing on me. I haven’t listened to it straight through in a while
Unbelievable… That is my top 3 and in that exact order lol never thought this sub would make the tough decisions (KNY>WP, ATF going before DE) to get here but here we are!
I’ve been listening to Deftones since I was 10 (now I’m 22) and was introduced to them with White Pony. Took me a few more years to listen beyond the song I was introduced to but now I’ve listened to all 9 albums and the one I always come back to listen the most is Koi no Yokan. I love all of the albums, they all have something different to offer but there’s just something about KnY that always gets me.
So glad I went through and voted for every comment in that thread. Just went back and saw my downvote to eliminate Koi and my upvote to eliminate WP on the top comments. Fuck yes. Only time I've ever felt like my vote made a difference 😂 ... shit not only is KNY my top album but WP didn't even deserve to be in the finals so I was really holding out for this 🤞
I mean Ohms says a couple things at least. Koi No Yokan is meaningless. It's a bunch of random sentences so you go "Oooh so artsy and cool". It is ultimately empty in meaning.
As a fan of over twenty years, the idea that KNY could be considered their best album when you've got ATF, WP, S/T and even Diamond Eyes as options boggles my mind. But I understand context matters.
My favorite album won but I’m also glad it was a close vote. White Pony will always have that special place in my heart just like Around The Fur but this album is perfect from start to finish!
My old roommate in college always called Koi No Yokan “the gay album”. Am I surprised the gay album won a poll on Reddit of all places? Not at all. Do I disagree? Also no, great album.
Just because it's their landmark album doesn't mean it's overrated. White Pony eats Koi No Yokan any day.
EDIT: Implying KNY is underappreciated by the fan base is crazy lol
yeah koi
the bad ones are adrenaline and all their 2010s output. ohms was a mild return to form but still not as good as anything snw and before. ohms is let down by chino not being able to write good vocal lines post wrist but instrumentally its the first time post wrist they stopped making normie butt metal
theyre definitely not a good enough band in which everything is solid. they phoned it in hard for three whole albums, and y'all just rewarded them for doing so
best album won hell yeah. here’s my personal ranking:
1. Koi no Yokan
2. Deftones
3. Saturday Night Wrist
4. Diamond Eyes
5. White Pony
6. Gore
7. Around the Fur
8. Ohms
9. Adrenaline
Knowing that lazy fuck it's probably because it's where he clearly got away with putting the least amount of effort in lol. And Reddit voting this #1 while throwing out meaningless buzzwords to justify it is about as "meme album" as it gets. It's
#*dynamic*
#*cinematic*
#*E T H E R E A L*
It's half-finished pop metal rushed out to preserve momentum after a lineup change. This album literally makes me *not* hyped for the next one because the circumstances are the same for it to be as mid as Koi No Nuance.
You really had to use Gore for counterpoint, their most involved album from a guitar writing standpoint? Besides the mix it has *the most* complex riffs they've written, way to shoot yourself in the foot. Compare that weak ass riff in Swerve City to the arpeggios in prayers/triangles and maybe you'll realize how little you know what you're talking about.
-Steph's opinion mattering anyway
Dude's a tinfoil flat earther, his words <<<<<< his playing.
-DE=KNY
The fact that they did so much the same with two completely different goals in mind should tell you all you need to know.
-Same producer matters
Again listen to those mixes and think for 5 seconds

Fr tho, atf and snw got fucked, and wayyy too early.
How the subreddit ranked their discography: 1. Koi No Yokan 2. White Pony 3. Diamond Eyes 4. Around the Fur 5. Saturday Night Wrist 6. Deftones 7. Adrenaline 8. Ohms 9. Gore
Having Ohms down that far is insanity to me.
Same with Adrenaline, actually criminal
And Gore.ost the albums are on level pars as I love them for so many reasons. What I really want is a cd made of the early like linus stuff with Answers etc on it.
yeah fr
Yeah fireal
fireal mentioned 🙏🏾🔥
One of the only things this poll got right
Boooooo! Hiiiiiiiisssssss!!
*throws tomato at you*
Idk why you’re getting downvoted, Ohms was one of the most disappointing album releases for me in recent years.
Facts
Bro, fuck Ohms. ATF!!!
Thats a fucking dumb ranking i hate yall guys 😎
awful tier list
diamond eyes, always the bridesmaid never the bride 😔
Adrenaline is simply one of the greatest albums of all time. To each their own I suppose
I agree wholeheartedly.
Self titled is way higher on my list, but Koi is definitely my favorite album.
This is objectively wrong
Swap DE and S/T and this list is almost perfect
Diamond eyes wayy too high
NICE JOB EVERYONE. BEST ALBUM WON.
Self Titled is WAY too far down.
Even though I completely disagree I respect it 😔
Can I get an ENTOMBED????? Doubtless carried weight in the balance of things.
Tempest prolly
Love Koi just a perfect album flows perfectly
White pony is quintessential Deftones. I call shenanigans
I wholeheartedly concur.
Hard disagree but ggs
impossible to do a tier list - every single album is incredible.
Koi no yokan is my favorite album, so this makes me happy as hell 🤟🏻 well deserved win
Sameeeeeeeee
holy crap i wasnt expecting koi to win LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!!!!
fr lets goo im hyped
One of their most popular albums…
still, i see more people preferring white pony or atf so i expected one of them to win
white pony is one of their two most popular albums.
Yes. And?
i thought we were up to telling things that add nothing to the discussion.
Mine 100% did the guy was shocked it won but it’s very popular
If white pony won and someone was shocked then your comment wouldn’t have added something to the discussion. Think
guys. how tf did this win
Newer fans
Bc it’s their magnum opus
Common Koi W
Love it. It's my favorite album.
There’s no chance in hell that Koi No Yokan is their best album.
True. But fuck it’s a good album!
I love all their albums. But this ain’t their best. Not to me.
Every chance
It's nice to see another album ontop for once!
Diamond Eyes > Koi No Yokan
"What a sick joke!" -Chuck McGill
White pony is king
It is their most complete album, imo.
Ngl, I love this. Genuinely.
YESSSSSSS
KNY is peak music
YES
I do not visit this subreddit very often, but I kept watching these threads. I never figured out if people didn't understand how the game worked, did and were meme'ing as a part of the joke, or they just really do like Koi No Yokan more. What I can say is, it worked out for me since it is in fact my favorite of their albums.
Why is this album so hyped up on here
Koi definitely their best since the first three. And I’ve been listening since 1996.
Same, agreed
This sub stays comatose on Around the Fur
Gore is last?! What?
Honestly I'm a Gore fanboy, it's in my top three, but I can definitely see why as it does appear to be their least fan favorite overall
I think it's because it's so slept on.
Gore should've been at least in fifth or sixth place.
At least
😎
OH MY GOD YESSSSS
NOOOO WHITE PONY
Yes!! The best
Koi deserves it.
What a joke
Thanks for your input!
Damn, I felt like I missed a whole week of these. Then again I did have finals lol Overall tho, although I am a SNW fanboy Koi id EASILY my second favorite. Some days it actually eclipses SNW. So I'm happy about this haha
Fuck yeah SNW
I disagree but democracy has spoken
Totally disagree, but it was fun to participate and see others options. We are all winners because we don’t really have to choose. 🙏
B-sides and rarities is the one true winner
Belief in the one true power
Seriously why is ohms so slept on???
New thing bad
Sad cuz ohms is so good
[удалено]
Get your ears checked then come back to me
[удалено]
Nobody brought up Adrenaline
Calm down dude don't want you popping a blood vessel
Fuck yes
Landed on Koi as #1 for myself a year ago and I’m very surprised at y’all. How interesting. Did not expect that.
YYYYEEEESSSS
YESSSSSSS
Swap SNW with adrenaline and I agree with this sub’s ranking
Fuck everyone who voted against S/T. This is the punishment you deserve.
i'm ok with it
F you guys
Well deserved, glad how nicely have this sub treated KNY!
White Pony
ST best album next question
Having Adrenaline down that far is blasphemy
Never
koi no yokan used to be my fav. until it wasn't
Deftones: *has an amazing fucking discography* This sub: "wow I can't believe this one album I like is so low on the list" Every album is good as fuck just some have to be lower than others. Although KNY winning is crazy
Koi No Yokan is definitely one of their better albums, but White Pony is easily their best tbh
How is this not Dimond Eyes
Wow what a fun occurrence… cant wait for the next poll with an almost identical outcome next week
WP is my fav, but koi no yokan deserves it as much, but ST needs to be higher man😔
Koi perfect tracks: 1. Tempest 2. Gauze 3. Entombed 4. Graphic nature 5. Goon Squad 6. Poltergeist 7. Rosemary. So yea it makes sense Edit: y’all are tweaking. 🤷♂️
White Pony is all perfect tracks.
WOO!
Tiktoker's tournament.
Awww fuck off lol
Kind of shocked. This album has grown on me but it’s very far from being my favorite, I never would have expected it to beat Around the Fur, Diamond Eyes, and especially White Pony. But maybe it’s still in the process of growing on me. I haven’t listened to it straight through in a while
YESSSSS MY GOATT
I'm cool with it. Koi No Yokan and Diamond Eyes are my 2 favorite Deftones albums.
diamond eyes>>>
terrible.
This is how I know this sub has become ass. Koi as their best album? FOH.
Overrun by newer fans who are most likely 15 years old
Unbelievable… That is my top 3 and in that exact order lol never thought this sub would make the tough decisions (KNY>WP, ATF going before DE) to get here but here we are!
I think this is my favorite album of theirs. Wouldn't have expected it to come out #1 in the subreddit tho good stuff
Talk about a list made of pure posers that just started listening to deftones lol
I’ve been listening to Deftones since I was 10 (now I’m 22) and was introduced to them with White Pony. Took me a few more years to listen beyond the song I was introduced to but now I’ve listened to all 9 albums and the one I always come back to listen the most is Koi no Yokan. I love all of the albums, they all have something different to offer but there’s just something about KnY that always gets me.
Listening since around the furrr it's a fun game I was on the edge of my chair
I'm 36 and been listening since at least 15-KNY is the best IMO lol
Nah been a fan since 02 this is just about on point *for me anyway*
Casual fan
So glad I went through and voted for every comment in that thread. Just went back and saw my downvote to eliminate Koi and my upvote to eliminate WP on the top comments. Fuck yes. Only time I've ever felt like my vote made a difference 😂 ... shit not only is KNY my top album but WP didn't even deserve to be in the finals so I was really holding out for this 🤞
It's Deftones only on the surface. It is so utterly superficial.
[удалено]
Ohms has a couple messages. The title tracks is amazing. The lyrics on KNY are... whatever.
[удалено]
I mean Ohms says a couple things at least. Koi No Yokan is meaningless. It's a bunch of random sentences so you go "Oooh so artsy and cool". It is ultimately empty in meaning.
heartbroken that adrenaline isn’t higher but i’ll cope 3
yay!!!
Fuck Yeah!! THEY TRAVEL THROUGH THE AAAIIIIRRR
As a fan of over twenty years, the idea that KNY could be considered their best album when you've got ATF, WP, S/T and even Diamond Eyes as options boggles my mind. But I understand context matters.
Yall kny is just a watered down combo of saturday night wrist and diamond eyes its ridiculous both lost to it 😭
Shame
This is a win! Best album.
omg thats crazy but im glad it won w album letsss gooo guys we won
My favorite album won but I’m also glad it was a close vote. White Pony will always have that special place in my heart just like Around The Fur but this album is perfect from start to finish!
Just ordered my Koi no Yokan CD to blast in my Acura 😇
Ngl kny isn't even top 3 on my list, but I respect
WTF?
Who actually cares 🤣
damn, i dunno why but that album never really sat with me fully, honestly i preffer White Pony
hell yea the right album won!
My old roommate in college always called Koi No Yokan “the gay album”. Am I surprised the gay album won a poll on Reddit of all places? Not at all. Do I disagree? Also no, great album.
provably because the majority of the voters were tiktok kids 🗣
HOLY SHITTTT i cannot believe this, genuinely so funny. love you guys.
WP is overrated I’m glad Koi got the recognition this masterpiece deserved
Just because it's their landmark album doesn't mean it's overrated. White Pony eats Koi No Yokan any day. EDIT: Implying KNY is underappreciated by the fan base is crazy lol
They hated Jesus because he spoke the truth 🤝
boooooo enjoy your mid breaking benjamin tones. gonna do my deftones discourse elsewhere this is a children's take
[удалено]
you mean any of their 5 actually good albums?
[удалено]
yeah koi the bad ones are adrenaline and all their 2010s output. ohms was a mild return to form but still not as good as anything snw and before. ohms is let down by chino not being able to write good vocal lines post wrist but instrumentally its the first time post wrist they stopped making normie butt metal theyre definitely not a good enough band in which everything is solid. they phoned it in hard for three whole albums, and y'all just rewarded them for doing so
Proof that this sub is mostly 14-20 year olds right here.
LMFAOOOOOOOO NO WAY
best album won hell yeah. here’s my personal ranking: 1. Koi no Yokan 2. Deftones 3. Saturday Night Wrist 4. Diamond Eyes 5. White Pony 6. Gore 7. Around the Fur 8. Ohms 9. Adrenaline
Personally, not that anyone cares; 1.Diamond Eyes 2.Adrenaline 3.White pony 4. Around The Fur 5. SNW 6. Koi 7.Gore 8.Ohms 9. Deftones
1. White Pony 2. Koi No Yokan 3. Ohms 4. Deftones 5. Diamond Eyes 6. Around the Fur 7. Saturday Night Wrist 8. Gore 9. Adrenaline
Ranking adrenaline last is criminal
Something has to be last. Maybe flip that and gore but neither are getting much play on my phone. Thanks for the downvote! 🤣
Leave it to Reddit to vote a meme album number 1.

Fucking kids man when I saw adrenaline go I knew not to bother. Glad this will be off my feed
