Deftones, a band with a devoted and diverse fanbase, have consistently delivered quality music over their 30-year career. Despite facing challenges like the tragic loss of a key member, they have maintained a unique sound that transcends time. From their early work to their latest release, each album has its own legion of fans, showcasing the band’s versatility and lasting impact on the music scene.
Their latest album, “private music,” marks their 10th studio release and sees the band reuniting with producer Nick Raskulinecz, known for his work on their acclaimed albums “Diamond Eyes” and “Koi No Yokan.” These albums represented different ends of the spectrum in the band’s sound, from heavy metal tones to tender post-rock influences. “private music” continues this trend of exploration, offering a nuanced and diverse collection of tracks that showcase the band’s evolution while staying true to their core sound.
Despite mixed reactions to their previous albums, “Gore” and “Ohms,” Deftones have crafted an album that combines subtle nuances with emotional depth. Tracks like “cut hands” and “metal dream” display the band’s ability to blend heavy nu metal with experimental elements, while songs like “souvenir” and “infinite source” highlight Chino Moreno’s powerful vocals and the band’s dynamic range.
The album’s standout track, “departing the body,” delves into dark and eerie territory, with cryptic lyrics and haunting instrumentals that set it apart from the band’s typical sound. Meanwhile, the ballad “i think about you all the time” showcases a more sentimental side of the band, leading to a post-rock climax that highlights their songwriting prowess.
“private music” seamlessly weaves together various influences and styles, creating a cohesive listening experience that is both engaging and replay-worthy. Clocking in at just 42 minutes, the album captures the essence of Deftones’ musical evolution while offering a fresh perspective on their signature sound. It stands as a testament to the band’s enduring creativity and solidifies their position as one of the leading forces in alternative rock music.
With “private music,” Deftones have once again proven their ability to push boundaries and defy expectations, solidifying their status as a band that continues to innovate and inspire. As fans and critics alike embrace this latest offering, it’s clear that Deftones’ legacy in the music industry is far from over.
