Despite all the turmoil, the album turned out to be a masterpiece, and it cemented the Deftones’ place as one of the most important bands in heavy music.It was a fitting tribute to Chi Cheng and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, art can still thrive. Her name is Lisa Hughes, and 20 years after the album came out, Pousta tracked her down and interviewed her a little bit about the album cover.

Upon his arrival, Kosick spent some time shooting the band in the studio and eventually brought his camera to one of their late-night soirees. What's more nu-metal than a snarling boxer who just wants to play ball (and maybe chomp your finger off in the process)? You can either look at the cover of Crazy Town's debut as lowbrow schlock designed to grab the eye of horny teenagers flipping through the CD rack, or brilliantly eccentric pop art that deserves a place in the Louvre. The majority of the image is a panorama shot of an arctic desert, but the onlooker's eye is caught in a tug-of-war between the faded periodic table of elements and the glowing noggin of a mustachioed gentleman giving a cheeky smirk.Pushing the boundary of what is expected or assumed is a hallmark of both the design and the sound of Deftones' records.
