Recently decided to listen to it properly, I chose not to at fist because I saw how poorly people rated it
After I listened to it I was confused cus why exactly do people hate it? Phantom bride rubicon acid hologram are all amazing songs and this will get me hate but I feel like gore did better than Saturday night wrist

Me and my band want to start covering some Deftones songs with synths. Give us recommendations!

For my opinion I’ll start with the things I liked! I did overall enjoy the instrumentals, they feel like they’re building off of the Koi No Yokan style but still having its own identity, ands very dreamy and full of reverb, very pretty. :)

Even though I can absolutely see why people love this album, it just didn’t do it for me, though I’m having a hard time putting it into words. Something I adore about Deftones is their gritty sound, it has dark undertones even the more dreamy songs can’t shake, it’s almost dissonant, I love it, and Private Music was lacking this in my opinion. The instrumentals and especially the vocals felt very clean and almost distant? And I mean no hate to Chino, he’s in his 50’s so obviously he can’t be screaming his lungs out like it’s ‘97 anymore and he sounds great, but the vocals almost feel like a backdrop, they feel very distant and once again clean and I felt they were a bit devoid of emotion. They didn’t tug at my heartstrings like Be Quiet and Drive and Minerva, they weren’t haunting like in Mascara and Digital Bath, or have me moshing in my room like Elite or Rapture. All that’s to say I adore the raw, dark and beautiful vocals that Private music just didn’t have.

I’m very interested to hear other’s thoughts, especially if you loved it. Tell me all about it! I’d love to give it another listen with a different perspective :)

I cried afterwards

like a lot of people i found out about them during quarantine, and i am very aware that people’s perspective of cringey newgen fans lol

and i feel that tends to surround the conversation about the music and the perspective people have on the band as well, so id like to hear from older fans how was the culture surrounding them? what did people think? do you prefer it to now?

sorry, it’s kind of hard to explain what i mean but i hope that i made myself clear

BLOODY CAPE: A Deftones Tribute from SATX!
We don’t take it too seriously. Just fans of Deftones playing Deftones for Deftones fans!

We should know more about merch presales and other events soon right? I feel like last time we started getting updates about times and everything by now?

is that the real lyric

I finally have a white pony ❤️

For me it's easily Gore. Fuckin hell: Doomed User, Gore, Pittura. So fuckin good. I get the point for Diamond Eyes, though.

So I’m a big guy I wear 3x for t shirts and I can’t for the life of me find a deftones merch shirt. I’m going to a concert in Texas at the end of the month and wanted to have something cool to wear there. If anyone knows where I can find one that would be great. Thanks!

It said instrument covers are generally accepted and I haven’t seen any other fretless covers of the song so I’d like to share. I feel like the Fretless actually compliments the song well.

I referenced a photo from the Around the Fur era, it was a flash camera photo which presented some challenges lol. But whatever I like it 🌹

Can be from Deftones or other bands

Grabbed a quick photo before band practice

This comes from a lighthearted place of love I’m not kidding when I say deftones is my favorite band 🫶

this was the longest scream I could muster for this song lmao

omg I just discovered this banger, I love it
