The songs "My Own Summer (Shove It)" and "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" were both released as singles with accompanying videos. It was their first RIAA-certified album, certified gold in June 1999, with ''Adrenaline'' also certified gold a few weeks later. The album was eventually certified platinum on June 7, 2011. ==Background== ''Around the Fur'' is the second album to feature Frank Delgado as additional personnel, who would eventually join the band officially in 1999. The song "Headup" features Max Cavalera of Soulfly doing additional vocals. It was written by Max and Chino as a way of venting some of their pain over the loss of Max's step-son, and Chino's friend, Dana Wells. Soulfly is taken from a portmanteau invented for the song. English alternative rock band Muse cites Deftones as a root influence〔(Deftones - Muse Wiki: Supermassive wiki for the band Muse )〕〔(muse : archives | microcuts.net | July 1999 )〕 and sometimes uses the riff to "Headup" as an outro to their song "New Born" during live performances. While the lyrics are in the booklet, not every single word is printed. A good example is the song "Lhabia" where in the verses, Chino Moreno whispers statements that are hard to make out. There is also one verse missing from the song "Headup". The album cover was shot by photographer Rick Kosick during a late-night party in Seattle where the band was recording. Upon seeing the candid photo, the band proclaimed that they wanted to use it as the album cover. Kosick was unsure who the girl was, so the band had to find out and track down the woman to obtain her permission to use the photo, which she eventually granted.〔Bennet, J.''Revolver''. September 2007. Pg. 122〕 "When we went in to make this record, we really didn't have a set idea of what we wanted to come out with," said Moreno in a 1998 interview with ''Chart'' magazine. However, he felt that the album "fell into place" once the band had settled into the studio.〔Bromley, Adrian. Keeping It Simple, ''Chart'', July, 1998.〕 The band expanded its sound, spending more time with Date, and giving more thought to the album's production. Cunningham varied his drum sound and experimented by using different types of snare drum on almost every track.〔Peiken, Matt. Interview with Abe Cunningham, ''Modern Drummer'', 1997.〕 The album was praised for its loud-soft dynamics, the flow of the tracks, Moreno's unusual vocals, and the strong rhythm-section grooves created by Cheng and Cunningham.〔〔Smith, Matt. Deftones New Album Stays Heavy, ''(Gaston Gazette )'', 1997.〕〔Glover, Adrian Gregory. Deftones: Running on Pure Passion, ''Circus'', May, 1998.〕 Stephen Thomas Erlewine's review noted that "while they don't have catchy riffs or a fully developed sound, ''Around the Fur'' suggests they're about to come into their own." The album was highly anticipated and propelled the band to fame in the alternative metal scene on the strength of radio and MTV airplay for the singles "My Own Summer (Shove It)" and "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)". ''Around the Fur'' sold 43,000 copies in its first week of release, and entered the ''Billboard'' 200 at number 29 (its peak position), remaining on the charts for 17 weeks.〔 The band went back to touring, making appearances at the Warped Tour (in the United States, New Zealand and Australia), Pinkpop Festival, Roskilde Festival, and Ozzfest as well as releasing a live EP on June 22, 1999. ''Around the Fur'' went on to reach RIAA gold status on June 24, 1999, and platinum status on June 7, 2011.〔 "My Own Summer (Shove It)" appeared on ''The Matrix: Music from the Motion Picture'', released March 30, 1999. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Around the Fur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
