The album features a broader spectrum of musical styles than the bands previous albums, ranging from some of their heaviest compositions to moody trip hop and shoegaze influences.

It was the bands final album in nearly two decades (until Ohms in 2020) to be produced by Terry Date, whose collaboration with Deftones dated back to their debut album Adrenaline (1995), although he did produce their unreleased album Eros.

Date was frustrated by the very slow pace of the band working in the studio.

Most of the albums songs make extensive use of the bands low G tuning and Morenos high screams, resulting in some of the heaviest songs in the bands catalog.

On the other hand, the track Lucky You is a dark, soft, trip hop -influenced piece featuring DJ Crook from Morenos side project Team Sleep and vocalist Rey Osburn of Tinfed.

A grand piano and toy piano were featured in the mournful Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event.

Music videos were shot for both singles as well as the track Bloody Cape.

The latters video was only available on the bands official website for one day, but was later released on the DVD portion of the bands B-Sides Rarities.

As the lead single, Minerva featured a melodic, commercially viable sound and gained strong rotation on mainstream rock video programming.

In contrast, the extreme heaviness of Hexagram landed it on shows such as Uranium and Headbangers Ball.

Deftones just blow open the possibilities.

In contrast, reviewers from sites such The A.V.

Club and AllMusic gave the album positive scores but criticized the band for returning to their heavy style, instead of the more soft and artistic style of its predecessor, White Pony.

Hadusek further stated that the track was far-and-away the best track of the self-titled album and that the track hints at the dreamier directions that Deftones would continue to explore.

The album also debuted at No.

Canadian Albums Chart, selling 10,700 copies in its first week of release in Canada.

The SPIN Interview: Deftones.

SPIN. Retrieved 4 April 2016.

From the trip-hop nuances of its self-titled album in 2003 to the bleak math metal tendencies of 2006s Saturday Night Wrist to the goth-rock tinged shoegaze of 2010s Diamond Eyes to the prog-rock flirting of 2012s Koi No Yokan, Deftones catalogue reads like a case study in how a band can translate influences into a sound thats definitively their own.
