Deftones - Private Music (August 22nd, 2025) Album • Page 3

That’s fast

 

Looks and feels like a Deftones album (complimentary), I am all the way in (as if I wasn't before)

 

while they're not really a band known for a ton of exciting vinyl variants, i'm really intrigued to see what they do for the vinyl for this album. that green is gonna pop super nicely on the jacket.

 

Hell yes to the short rollout

 

I’m really glad I’ve heard next to nothing about this going into it.

 

Ty Deftones

 

Hell yeah. Coming out on my birthday and it's only like 6 weeks away. LFG

 

They've reached a point where I just presume they'll never make an album that I won't, at the very least, like a lot.

Although now I've said that, the new song will probably be Mein-tier.

 

My Mein is a Meintain...oh no.

 

mein rules

 

Abe rules on Mein.

Everyone else, not quite so much.

 

To be fair, Abe rules on literally everything. Astonishingly good drummer.

 

I was just admiring his fills on Knife Prty. The way he integrates the hi-hats is just so fun.

 

I tell you a song Abe rules on that no one talks about — Sextape. So cool that he comes in playing just the hi-hat and snare and doesn't play the kick drum till Chino starts the next verse. Perfection the way he subtly ramps it up as it heads towards the chorus.

 

Anyone have an image of the snake poster? Can't find it online anywhere.

 

Would prefer this as an album cover instead of the green.

 

Everything about this looks sick so far. The art, the titles… I’m hyped

 

Fred was only a touring bassist since he joined, but since he’s featured in the images they dropped this week (and he was tagged in them), I think he may actually be official now.

 

i love the green of the artwork

 

A lot of Diamond Eyes feels like an updated sequel to White Pony (complimentary), which is part of why I love it so much, but "Prince" in particular REALLY feels like a continuation of "Rx Queen" (again, complimentary)

 

Sorry, meant that for the general thread but since we're all in here revisiting the discog anyways, I'll leave it

 

"976-EVIL" is such a gorgeous song. "Sextape" gets all the love, but 976 deserves a little more. Feels like one of their most effortless in terms of blending atmosphere, melody, and huge riffs.

 

I often think of Diamond Eyes into Koi No Yokan as the complementary sequel to Around The Fur into White Pony. ATF and DE — a little heavier, instant, more compact and made to play live. WP and KNY — connected but more expansive and sprawling; heavy but with more room to breathe.

 

Completely agree. 976 is really, really slept on.

 

I like to imagine that one is about Chi.
