So.. is there any substance to this? It sounds awesome, especially the Ohms outtake and Melanie.

If I was their manager or label, I would have been pushing them to put out a "B-Sides & Rarities #2" collection for several years already. 

They have more than enough good B-Sides that we know about to make a full album... plus anything else that we don't know about that might be good enough to make the cut.

It seems like a really smart move right now, to give the fans something extra between the regular album cycle.  They need to ride the momentum they have going, and not wait another 5 years to release something.

If I was their manager/label, I would try to get them to release a good quality live Bluray+CD+VINYL.  Especially right now, since the band sounds really tight live.  They released the performance video a few days ago on privatemusic.tv which was awesome.  They just need to do a full 2 hour set in that same quality, then slap it on a Bluray.

Quote from: Knuucklestones2 on Sep 07, 2025, 03:28 AMDoes anybody have the old pre-release version of Rapture or the MySpace versions of Beware? I've also heard about an old snw leak that I wondered was still in existence

https://youtu.be/0qSYqemp6-M?si=68OqUkQeyjEClgm7

I'm aware of that one but it's not in the best quality and cuts out for a second near the end.

I've been stewing on it for a few weeks, and now I want to give my own thoughts.

I can't claim to have an extensive history of being a Deftones fan (only listening to them for a bit over a year), and I've never had one of their albums as a whole ever truly captivate me... until now. Private Music speaks to me in ways that there other ones don't; while their other ones had a number of songs each that I liked, they usually (White Pony aside) had at least an equal number that I didn't like. I'm very fond of everything here, with the exception of Souvenir.

In terms of specifics, my absolute favorites from the album are Locked Club, Ecdysis, Infinite Source, and Milk of the Madonna. I disliked Locked Club on my first listen, but... it grew on me very quickly, and now I can say that I love it. Ecdysis is a bit similar in that regard, but not totally the same; I felt it was just alright (which stung a bit, because I had high hopes for it before the album came out), but it's grown on me as well. Infinite Source grabbed me right away; it's a fun song with a very unique guitar sound and a good chorus, so what's not to like? Milk of the Madonna is absolutely hypnotic in every regard, with great riffing, evocative lyrics, and Chino shines here as well. Honorable mention goes to Metal Dream! I love the chorus quite a bit.

All of this is to say that Private Music is definitely going on my albums of the year list as a top contender. I still think Deafheaven will take the top spot for me, but Deftones and Dream Theater (ironically, all start with a D) are right up there for me. Great job, guys.

Teething
Can't Even Breathe
To Have and To Hold
The Boy's Republic
Lovers
Finger of Death (a studio version if possible, but if vocals for it don't exist, then a remaster of the live version)
FYIHYD
Melanie
Smile
Dallas
Crest

Other possibilities: remastered pre-Adrenaline demos (Like Linus songs, God's Hands), Bumble D (if it exists, that is), Diamond Eyes b-side, XO, Gore leftovers, etc...

whats XO? cant say ive ever heard of that before personally.

An utterly haunting SNW-era piano piece by Chino:
