Taken from the subreddit, from user "BonnieSOAD":
"Greetings deftones subredditors.
I come from a place of privileged information, from someone very close to the deftones themselves, closer than you might think.
A brand new B-sides and rarities album is in the making, of course, it will not be named B sides and rarities 2, the name is yet to be decided.
The goal for this is to keep the popularity and traction the band has recently gained going.
The 2 tracks already re-mixed and mastered for this release are: One OHMS outtake, aswell as MELANIE, (yes, your eyes do not deceive you MELANIE, the eros track)
No bob ezrin demos will be included (100% confirmed, unsure of the reason)
I have not heard the 2 tracks at all yet, it is planned to be at least 8 tracks, so not an EP, a full "album".
Thats about all the information i have, have a good one and keep your HEAD UP HIGH!"
And in the comments another user said they also heard the same thing.
It would be released in the summer, next year.
Here's to hoping...
It would be awesome if they included Smile, Melanie and Dallas, along with some stuff from other years.
I'm sure the band gets tired of being asked "Will you ever release Eros?"... I think an official release of those 3 songs would pretty much stop put an end to the inquiries.
This is my own extended version of B-Sides & Rarities that I made for my iTunes. I think it flows pretty well. I'd love for all of these extra songs to be included in an official part 2.

30 - Smile
31 - Dallas
32 - Sweetest Perfection (Depeche Mode Cover)
One of the highest things on my wish list is to get a good mix/master of Sweetest Perfection (Depeche Mode Cover) some day.
I think these songs were only ever released in digital format, so it would be great to get them on CD.
-Do You Believe? (Cardigans Cover)
-Ghosts (Japan Cover)
-Caress (Drive Like Jehu Cover)
A good mix/master of the Ross Robinson versions of Root and Nosebleed that were recorded before Adrenaline would be amazing.
Also, they really need to do an official release of the live Say It Ain't So (Weezer Cover). It was a Napster/Limewire classic that should be celebrated more.
Since they used to perform at least 4 Weezer songs live back in the day, I have a good feeling they even have a few Weezer covers that were recorded in the studio, but never got released. We need those.

Well, Melanie is stated to be in this release!

Awesome news! It sounds like a good song in the live recordings.
Interesting... another covers/b-sides album would be amazing. Yes please...
