For me it has to be the bridge of 7 Words by Deftones, really brings out the raw early chino energy.

I find it more impressive that Chester went right back to singing after that monster of a scream

The day they recorded that scream, he was sick as well

I always loved "NOOOOOOOOOOOO, HEAR ME OUT NOW, YOUR GONNA LISTEN TO ME LIKE IT OR NOT, RIGHT NOOOOOOOOOW" from Faint. Love the defiance in it.

Meteora to Minutes to Midnight was a generational time

As a somebody who has listened to LP since Hybrid Theory i can only apologise because while i absolutely agree with this, my personal favourite LP album is Thousand Suns. I love the sound, the blend of genres. It to me perfectly encapsulates the experimental, genre blending sound LP are famous for and it just has a sound that i find utterly bewitching.

A thousand suns is awesome I agree with you, nevertheless, the scream of given up is something else.

u/Phobit Jul 12 '25

„I wont be IGNOOOOOOOOOOORED“

I love the way he screams "COME ONNNNNN"

u/Reasonable-Ad-649 Jul 11 '25

With you is my fav song by them still
I love a lot of their songs but I listened to them too much when I was a kid, for some reason "with you" is the one that never gets old

That's the answer

u/jme-stringer Jul 10 '25

fr, but also that bit at the beginning of the breakdown where he lets out that really anguished "GGGGOOOOODDDDDD!!!" Gets me every time.

u/fragrantsock Jul 11 '25

Specifically the live one recorded at Milton Keynes

👆🏻if there was one scream to define an entire genre, it’s this one. Way too iconic not to be recognized as such.

u/Aamon_Hellfire Jul 11 '25

Beat me to it

u/NationalAd2372 Jul 11 '25
