Nah. It's not my favorite Deftones album by any means but it's a whole bunch of texture and not a lot of melody, so I can see it being a bit of a filter.

even when I listened to nu metal around 25 years ago I couldn't dig this album or any others of theirs
apparently it was essential, essential like the oils

Probably has to do with most of the album not aiming for aggression. I guess there's Elite but everything else is like a bad trip, mostly moody soundscape shit. Album does get pretty dark though.
