Deftones - Private Music (August 22nd, 2025) Album • Page 51

every song on snw is essential and amazing yes even pink cellphone

 

Believe in the one true power

 

The biggest travesty in SNW is the exclusion of Finger of Death.

 

I need more people to understand why I'm making the Cherry Waves comparison because I don't know how else to explain it. The "we ride" bit, totally makes me feel exactly like I do when "the waves suck" comes in on Waves. So good.

 

same here , reminds me of the stuff I don’t dig on ohms

 

souvenir for sure reminds me the most of ohms of anything here, almost feels like it shares some dna with headless. i personally see this as a good thing, headless is amazing

 

I mean I do kinda understand how that would be the case. to me it just reminds me of what he’s doing earlier on the record in locked club with the high “feel it” part, sounds like the same exact notes to me even. also the end of Error comes to mind too, the “kept trying/nothing” part.

 

This is my thing with it, that it sounds TOO much like Ohms, and it makes me think the whole time, "this sounds like a song on Ohms but I can't remember which one".

Pink Cellphone made me dislike SNW a whole lot more than I should have when it was first out, haha.

 

Ecdysis feels like Lhabia part 2 in the verses

 

When the drums come in on i think about you all the time :chef's kiss:

 

The vocal pattern on that track too

 

that’s the one for me. I’m absolutely obsessed with that song title. It’s so simple and perfect

 

I mentioned how optimistic the tone of this felt to me when I first listened...just got the vinyl and the picture with the sign that says ACCEPT THE GOOD paired with how sweet their thank yous are in the liner notes really emphasizes that to me. They seem happier as a band than they have in over a decade, and that makes me happy!

 

Totally agree. They’ve seemed to be in a great place for a while now, which is awesome

 

that's beautiful

 

I think about you all the time by Deftones > I think about you all the time by Field Medic > I think about you all the time by The Maine

all pretty good though

 

I think about it all the time by Charli XCX>>>>

 

I never see enough love for Combat if we're talkin SNW deep cuts, that thing is a beast

 

the only misstep on SNW really is Pink Cellphone to me, I either like or love every other song in it. I also will actually defend the production on that one too, not perfect, but so much better than it should be given how fractured the group was at the time and how many issues they had specifically in recording it. the drums sound great on that record and I think Chi cuts through in that mix better than most of their other records. helps that both of them are delivering career high performances too of course. I personally have more issues with how basically any record after it sounds than I do with it lol, but I am sure most here would think I am crazy for that.

if I had to pick which single album this reminds me most of, I do think I would go with Diamond Eyes, and this is a large part of why. it doesn’t sound exactly like DE, there’s plenty on here that sounds nothing like most of that record. but it’s the spirit, the optimism, the exuberance that I feel it more than anything. it is great that they seem to be in such a good place right now.

 

I've never had a problem with how SNW sounds, it's perfect for how dark and self-reflective the music is

 

everything about ecdysis hits for me.

 

great mail day

 

I haven't listened to this yet still (been a crazy busy week) so I think I'm gonna correct this tomorrow.

 

I really love this album.

I really miss heavy, punishing Deftones.

it is what it is.

 

trying to get to the bottom of this, but the band's merch support team is indicating that there might've been a production delay for some orders/items, and that my numbered copy is now slated to ship September 26 (even though they say this mainly impacts merch, and that music titles would ship "as scheduled", which clearly isn't the case since everyone else seems to have gotten theirs already)
