i've been slowly but surely integrating private music into my usual listening routine...i'll have periods of time where i mostly listen to 1-3 specific albums, listen to everything fairly equally, or get tunnel visioned on a song/1-5 songs from a specific album. the latter is what's been happening for me right now with acid hologram + phantom bride + rubicon, but when i have reached for private music i tend to go for souvenir + cXz + departing the body

Here's to hoping...

Lately, I find myself skipping to Milk of the Madonna, and vibing out with the latter half of the album. PM is so good, it is currently #2 on my albums rankings list; one day, it just clicked!

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.

ive watched the videos a bunch.. wondering if anyone has an audio rip of the live tracks they played at the release party.. thanks

The album is growing on me more and more, such weird details. Songs that at first several listens are unremarkable, reveal themselves... Departing the body springs to mind

I really think of Royal and CMND/CTRL as the sonic template for the album... a buzzing overdriven guitar with Chino and Frank getting creative on top of it.


Infinite Source and MOTM are still the standouts, don't like ITAYATT at all and don't mind a heartfelt Deftones but take my diamond line is cringe and feels like reaching for prom dance audiences.

It's a trip of an album

just saw deftones live for the first time and it was fucking beautiful.

i didn't really appreciate milk of the madonna when it initially released but man hearing it live is soo much better and i def like it way more now. i do wish their setlist had some underrated & under appreciated songs of theirs but nonetheless it was good.

glad i brought earplugs because they were really loud lol

Hopefully it gets a proper B-sides treatment one day.

I can't remember if I already knew it or if I looked it up years and years ago.
