13 Weezer (White Album) - Weezer
14 Blur - Blur

Their fifth album, released with the purpose of breaking themselves out of the Britpop movement.

15 Deftones - Deftones

Deftones were the odd one out since most of the other Nu Metal bands with self titled albums were their first album but not Deftones
this is also their 4th album

16 Def Leppard - Def Leppard

24 Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac

This is an interesting case. Their first album, released in 1968, was self-titled. Their 1975 album (the one you see here) is also self-titled. To differentiate the two, the 1968 album is now commonly called "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac".

25 Deep Purple - Deep Purple

This album is commonly referred to as Deep Purple III (for obvious reasons).
